Graybeard
Keven McCoon was the perfect killer working for the perfect client: the U.S.Government. Then he saw something he shouldn't have seen and the hunter became the hunted. His flight from government pursuers takes surprising twists and turns and he is cast in a powerful, dangerous situation at sea with two people desperately running, but from themselves. The trio sail from Portsmouth, N.H. to Bermuda and then to the Virgins on a trip fraught with dangers from the sea and their nemeses. The flight ends in a thrilling and unpredictable confrontation that can best be described as deafening. The main characters are complete, but imperfect people who rise to present heroic performances as the plot develops. Graybeard is truly what reviewers call "a good read."
Bloodline in the Sand
I vowed, those many, many years ago, that one day I would see his bloodline cease to exist and now, finally, today, right here, right now, I will see my vow fulfilled. Sergeant First Class Eric O'Dea's routine and somewhat uneventful life quickly becomes anything but routine when he finds himself as a deep undercover operative for a U.S. Army counterintelligence unit. O'Dea's mission is to locate and expose an international espionage ring that is targeting the U.S. Army counterintelligence community and threatening national security. What he doesn't know is that his entire family-his sister, two brothers, wife, children, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law-have been gathered in Saudi Arabia. They are now the enemy's "insurance policy"-and they are expendable. The complex plan of ex-KGB agent Herr Hohen, a man with many names and ties to Middle Eastern countries, and his sexy and competent accomplice leads Eric to the sands of Saudi Arabia. Will Herr Hohen finally put an end to the close-knit, hot-tempered O'Dea family? Eric now faces a life-or-death decision: to breach national security himself and risk the charge of treason-or to attempt to take on the enemy alone.

That had been the general consensus of Marco, Young Dave, Ugly John, Ossie and the rest of the Chelsea Gate 17 boys as they frittered away the summer months waiting for the new European campaign to begin. Enter Roman Abramovich...

Banshees
“Epic and brutal. . . . Horror buffs and metal fans will marvel at every grinding detail in this meaty, grim fantasy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Notorious for their satanic lyrics, drunken excess and rumors of blood sacrifice, the Banshees shocked the world with their only album.

Ian St. James, son of the original Banshees drummer can't believe his eyes. Ian's attempts to get backstage nearly kill him. The Banshees phenomenon goes viral—are they real or is it all a brilliant publicity stunt? Every time the Ban...
Fringed With Mud and Pearls
Scotland has its rugged Hebrides; Ireland its cliff-girt Arans; Wales its Island of Twenty Thousand Saints. And what has England got? The isles of Canvey, Sheppey, Wight and Dogs, Mersea, Brownsea, Foulness and Rat. But there are also wilder, rockier places – Lundy, the Scillies, the Farnes. These islands and their inhabitants not only cast varied lights on the mainland, they also possess their own peculiar stories, from the Barbary slavers who once occupied Lundy, to the ex-major who seized a wartime fort in the North Sea and declared himself Prince of Sealand. Ian Crofton embarks on a personal odyssey to a number of the islands encircling England, exploring how some were places of refuge or holiness, while others have been turned into personal fiefdoms by their owners, or become locations for prisons, rubbish dumps and military installations. He also describes the varied ways in which England's islands have been formed, and how they are constantly changing, so making a mockery of human claims to sovereignty.
