Danish Gold
Calum is happily settled in England after the dramatic events described in 'Dangerous Voyage' and to add some more adventure to his life he agrees to take part in a race to Norway with a crew of young adults recovering from a traumatic event. The story line switches between an undercover World War II operation to safeguard the Danish gold bullion reserves after the outbreak of war and the eventful voyage of Calum's schooner, Samba Cancao, across the North Sea, culminating in a life and death clash on the high seas and a dramatic discovery and final battle in a Viking King's Cave on a remote stretch of Norway's windswept coastline. Colin Reed delivers another great sea story mixing the battle of men against men and men against the elements, while keeping the action and mystery unfolding until the final twisting chapter."
Memories and Forgetfulness
In his candid and often brutally honest autobiography, Colin Reed, remembers countless stories from his childhood in Southampton, his 10 years in the Royal Navy and then a 40 year career in the upstream oil and gas industry, including time spent on one of BP's most successful offshore production platforms, Forties Alpha. From joining the Junior Civil Defence in 1956 to serving onboard HMS Albion during the Borneo War, from working in Singapore, Dounreay in Scotland, Houston and Rio de Janeiro, and working for clients including Decca, Chevron, BP and Marathon Oil, and many more around the world, Reed brings his own introspective sense of humour to numerous occasions and experiences, all set against the background of his family life, which has been tempered with equal measures of tragedy and joy.

Remembering Bosman
A spellbinding and varied line-up of recollections of the star turn of the 20th-century South African literary scene. Included in this valuable tribute are detailed memoirs of four of Herman Charles Bosman's keepers of the flame: his colleague George Howard, his cousin Zita Grové, his disciple Lionel Abrahams; and the unpublished chapters by his widow, Helena Lake, never previously collected in book form. In addition there are souvenirs by Bosman's other wives and lovers. Tributes come from his press associates, while much intimate interview material is included to complete this strange portrait of Johannesburg's murderous blue-eyed boy. Their accumulated testimony here gives as good value as Bosman himself ever did during his embattled lifetime.

Time to Visit a Lady
After abandoning their prestigious scientific careers, Nicola and Victoria, best friends since school, survive a dreadful experience together, and in a bid to escape from both the hurt and the perpetrators, sail away into the sunset, both determined to succeed and start a new life. After interludes in Portugal, Ireland and Scotland, the two survivors finally find a semblance of normality again, in Florida, where new love, new hope and a new purpose help them to recover from their physical and mental wounds, while at the same time the underworld activities that heralded their unwarranted departure reaches a shocking conclusion. Colin Reed's new book intertwines the blossoming romance of kindred spirits as it transforms the misfortune of the two girls, while set against ever present conflict of both the sea and the criminal influences that follow them to their new lives.
