Leaving Reality
This is the unusual story of a young lad who grows up in Alaska with his life dominated by dreams of playing hockey in the National Hockey League. His family and friends and home town all lend helping hands, but he has to battle on all levels past a personal adversary who tries to block him with every step. Only in the final chapter can we measure the success or failure of our young hero's life.
Perturbation Theory
Two Russian scientists in an underground laboratory in Saint Petersburg and American scientists aided by robots onboard an orbiting laboratory named Spacelab are racing to develop a class of virus capable of reading the memories locked in the brains of newly dead humans. In the course of the highly classified American effort, a former student of the lead American researcher discovers that certain of these viruses are capable of communicating with each other over great distances. Serious problems begin when the brains of living humans on both sides including two Russian cosmonauts, the lead American scientist and a United States senator are voluntarily and involuntarily exposed to the research viruses. They begin to hear unexplained voices communicating in their heads. After a Russian cosmonaut is observed onboard Spacelab and subsequently disappears, the Russians and Americans are forced to combine forces when it appears that an alien presence on the moon might be the root of all of their problems.
Murder at the Palais-Royal
Despite their destruction early in the fourteenth century, the Knights Templar leave clues to a vast fortune hidden beneath the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral. Almost five hundred years later a Catholic Bishop conspires with the Pope to resurrect the ancient military order and its fortune to fight the secular forces growing in Paris. The conspiracy becomes entangled with the gunpowder research of the world's greatest living chemist, Farmer-General Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, his dedicated apprentices, and a motley collection of foreign spies from Austria, Prussia and the Italian States intent upon stealing the scientist's secrets. Mix in a foreign political agitator, a beautiful woman descended from a famous French playwright, a misguided minister to King Louis XVI, an over-sexed Cardinal and his prognosticator, an irritable commandant of police, a famous escapee from the Bastille, a doubting monk, and a man seen only in the shadows and something has to give.
Russian Winter
The Russian forest was bleak, dark and unforgiving. It was an hour past midnight in this timeless land where the fox, the rabbit and the bear all hid, shivering in the cold wind, waiting for the warmth of the summer sun to return. Even for what was expected of a typical Russian winter, this particular night proved to be brutally cold. An outsider passing through the dense stands of trees would never cease to wonder with amazement how the little creatures of life could survive the seemingly eternal chill. It was a chill whose only loyal partner was silence, interrupted occasionally by the crash of a falling ice-covered branch or the howl of a brisk breeze off a frozen lake. Yet, even the burr...
Honor and Vengeance
On the table before him spread an embroidered cloth bearing images he had seen before. There was a fire burning at the center, its flames reaching toward the sky. Dancing about the fire were three winged beasts representing Life and Time and Fate. As he studied the figures, they began moving back and forth in rhythm to some unheard musical beat. The beasts seemed to mesmerize him as he tried to glance at his watch, but Stephen couldn't see the hands or the dial. He wasn't even sure his watch was with him. Suddenly, the room became too dark to see anything except the glowing eyes of the old woman and the objects on the table before him. Nevertheless, he sensed that the waiting was finally over. The old woman's arm reached out ever so slowly, and her hand pushed the deck of cards toward him. Without a word, she then withdrew her arm back under the shawl. The fact that no words were spoken did not seem unusual to him. There obviously was no need for words.
The Malediction
The next few seconds seemed to be played out in slow motion. Achmaed couldn't avoid the collision, but he did manage to turn enough so that the container occupied the space between him and the two onrushing antagonists. They slammed hard into its surface, driving Achmaed backwards and loosening his grip on the package. The container twisted in the air and smashed against the edge of the yacht yielding a loud cracking noise. Before anyone involved in the scuffle could react, the container popped open and a Grecian urn, which had been its contents, flew out, rolling end over end in the air like a large football. Achmaed felt himself gasping involuntarily as the priceless piece of antiquity smashed against one of the sizeable steel spars that projected from the side of the Aquarius. It was the last Achmaed would see of Asan's prized treasure. The gritty contents of the urn sprayed into the air as the urn split into a thousand pieces. Achmaed watched with his last moment of consciousness as the debris spread into the air like a flock of migrating birds and then fell into the waters of the Aegean Sea.
Match Penalty
Inside a hidden missile launch facility in northeastern Iran, conservative revolutionaries plan to discredit the reformist government by firing a long range nuclear missile at Israel, a missile to be guided by a stolen American guidance system. The conspirators use the Russian Mafia working out of Canada to obtain the system from an American defense contractor. The planned Jihad begins to falter when spiritual forces thousands of miles apart sound warnings to their believers. In response, the Organizatsiya dispatches its ruthless crime boss, The Dark Man, to Canada to salvage the conspiracy and eliminate two maverick members of the syndicate. The task of preventing the missile launch ultimately falls to American DEA Agent Josef Gerona and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. While trying to foil The Dark Man’s plans and save a Russian artist and his brother, a professional hockey player, they find the mystical intervention of an Indian medicine man and a voodoo priestess indispensable, yet unexplainable.
Shadows in the Caribbean
During the Bay of Pigs invasion, a young Cuban military officer is trapped by the Cuban revolution of Fidel Castro when his special operation to recover treasures hidden for General Batista becomes entangled in expatriate treachery and murder. His rescuing of a downed CIA-sponsored American bomber crew and the liberation of his young son Carlos set the stage for the officer's eventual escape. Powerful drug interests associated with his enemies and the American government are drawn into a frantic search for his son, who is believed to have become a major drug smuggler. When the rescued American pilot forms the only viable link to the elusive Carlos, the hunters soon find that they have become the hunted!
Rotational Spectra and Molecular Structure
Physical Chemistry, A Series of Monographs: Rotational Spectra and Molecular Structure covers the energy levels and rotational transitions. This book is divided into nine chapters that evaluate the rigid asymmetric top molecules and the nuclear spin statistics for asymmetric tops. Some of the topics covered in the book are the asymmetric rotor functions; rotational transition intensities; classes of molecules; nuclear spin statistics for linear molecules and symmetric tops; and classical appearance of centrifugal and coriolis forces. Other chapters deal with the energy levels and effects of centrifugal distortion, as well as the internuclear distance and moments of inertia. The discussion then shifts to the coriolis coupling effects on rotational constants and the perturbation treatment of vibration-rotational Hamiltonian. The last chapter is devoted to the examination of origin of the quadrupole interaction. The book can provide useful information to chemists, physicists, electrical engineers, students, and researchers.
Graveyard Train
The final battle of the War of 1812 results in a surprising victory for the outnumbered American defenders at the Rodriguez Canal east of New Orleans. The American command dispatches a patrol from its position in the Mississippi Delta. Its mission is to transport a group of severly wounded Scottish soldiers to a United States army field hospital for urgently needed medical care. The patrol, led by a free-black sergeant from the New Orleans militia, encounters problems along the trail. When the men are borne into an Acadian settlement in central Louisiana on one of the first experimental steam carriages, an irresistible tide of vengence and revenge is unleashed. The mystical forces conjured by a voodoo priestess and a Choctaw Indian chief reach even into the twentieth century. There they combine with modern conspiracy and murder to draw an attorney and newspaper reporter into the age-old enmity between the English and French. The deadly curse culminates on the same graveyard hill where it began.
