Presumed Dead
Three African-American teens are missing. To a LAPD Detective, it looks like Professor Ken Chestnut's teaching assistant, Jason Duffy, is guilty. When the TA is arrested, Chestnut hires a lawyer and learns that the only thing that will save the grad student from death row is for the missing children to return home alive and well. Chestnut sets out to find the youths and the cooling trail of evidence leads him to a face-off with his professional nemesis, Scott Kenyatta, an unscrupulous Oxford Professor and African Prince who has taken the children to the Congo. Chestnut finds the youths living among a diminutive "hunter and gathering" clan called the Efe. He fully expected his mission on the African Continent to be a difficult one. But what he didn't anticipate was becoming a key component of Kenyatta's bizarre sociological research project that's using the torrid unforgiving Ituri Rain Forest as its laboratory. This odyssey turns out to be a contemporary "Roots" for the foursome. When they return to civilization, they bring back fresh perspectives of where they came from, who they are and what they might become…

The Flight of the Blackbird
The Blackbird. Some said it was a living legend; others, a myth. To Captain Jason Kent and his love Deany Summers, it was their only hope. When their homeland of California, one of five city-states established after the Great War, is threatened by General Salvador Drone, ruler of the savage Empire of Dodum, Jason, Deany, and five fellow soldiers set off on a mission to meet that memory of the misty past promising release to their war-weary civilization. If they succeed, they will restore peace to their home. But if they fail, then they and all that they love will be enslaved under Drone's vicious tyranny. Jason and his platoon know the dangers that await them. Yet their greatest enemy lurks among them; for when their plans unravel, they do as well, until they begin to doubt their mission, their way, and their commander. Struggling to keep the quest alive, Jason pushes forward, knowing that he must find the answer to their prayers, the mystery behind the legend, the power of the past-the Blackbird.
