The Two-Edged Sword
For Donald W. Tucker, life from the get-go was a two-edged sword-a "damned if you do/ damned if you don't" black & white shades & wing-tips jungle existence of working the streets of Southside Chicago undercover ("with no cover") as a Federal narcotics and SS agent. Tucker was quick, sharp and street smart. Ultimately he rose through the ranks to become one of America's foremost federal law enforcement administrators and reformers. The Two-Edged Sword is a grim, gutsy, raw in-your-face first-hand account of what it was like to be Black and work as an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (now called the DEA), and United States Secret Service from 1961-1990-some of the toughest...

The Interpreter
No story of World War II is more triumphant than the liberation of France, made famous in countless photos of Parisians waving American flags and kissing GIs, as columns of troops paraded down the Champs Élysées. Yet liberation is a messy, complex affair, in which cultural understanding can be as elusive as the search for justice by both the liberators and the liberated. Occupying powers import their own injustices, and often even magnify them, away from the prying eyes of home. One of the least-known stories of the American liberation of France, from 1944 to 1946, is also one of the ugliest and least understood chapters in the history of Jim Crow. The first man to grapple with this failur...

Master Piece
As far as Norman Penkridge is concerned, there’s only one problem with having an angel floating above his living room carpet. He’s an atheist! When reclusive computer geek, Norman, starts receiving heavenly visitations, his fiercely logical brain assumes he’s going mad. But as attempts to prove they’re a figment of his imagination fail, he’s faced with a far more alarming scenario. If real, he must accept he’s been chosen from the whole of humanity to prevent EVERYTHING in the Universe... and a few extra dimensions he’s never even heard of... ceasing to exist. That not only includes a Supreme Being he doesn’t believe in, but - of far more immediate concern to Norman - his own...
Master Mind
MASTER MIND - The final book in THE MASTER TRILOGY - The conclusion to all that's gone before. “You know who” [no spoilers] has been given a seemingly impossible task. But it appears things might get far more awkward for them than that! The end is finally in sight for everyone… which is either a good thing… or very, very bad. After all, a happy ending depends on whose side you’re on. But there’s one thing you can be sure of. With Andy Dane Nye’s wonderfully inventive style of writing, even if you expected the unexpected, you’ll still get more than you expected! “Just brilliant. Witty, clever and totally enthralling. Couldn't put it down.” Amazon review for Master Piece. ...
