Jimmy McGuire And The Escapades At South County High
Jimmy McGuire and the rest of the South County football team strive to win the state championship, bury old rivalries and solve a thrilling mystery.
Hide and Seek
Jack Crocker's life is disintegrating and his marriage crumbling after a family tragedy and his losing battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Crocker, 41, a prize-winning reporter and veteran of both Gulf Wars, is marinating his Iraq nightmares in booze. When he's injured in a bar fight he re-connects with his much-younger nephew, Jimmy McGuire, newly discharged from the Marine Special Forces with shocking Afghan war memories of his own. Out of desperation and a lack of other options, they unite to open a store-front Private Investigations agency in a Dallas suburb. Their cases are mostly routine until a woman hires them to find out who is trying to kill her. She's obviously keeping her own secrets. All bets are off when Crocker's family is cruelly attacked by professional killers and Jack and Jimmy realize they're trapped in a life or death crisis, possibly with a no-win outcome.
Baseball Rowdies of the 19th Century
During the 19th century, baseball was a game with few rules, many rowdy players and just one umpire. Dirty tricks were simply part of a winning strategy--spiking, body-blocking, cutting bases short or hiding an extra ball to be used when needed were all OK. Deliberately failing to catch a fly in order to have the game called due to darkness was also acceptable. And drinking before a game was perhaps expected. Providing brief bios of dozens of players, managers, umpires and owners, this book chronicles some of the flamboyant, unruly and occasionally criminal behavior of baseball's early years.
Metamorphosis
Ben Gardener, after being deported by Isis planetary authorities, is a passenger aboard a deep-space salvage vessel. While en route, the crew retrieves an ancient probe containing a mysterious payload. No stranger to highly advanced technology, Ben is harboring an alien artificial intelligence named Jack. Who repeatedly warns him that the probes cargo is deadly. Before Ben and Jack can neutralize the threat, one of the crew steals the cargo and unleashes a genetic weapon that threatens to sweep the galaxy! METAMORPHOSIS is a fast-paced, modern day Pandoras Box that combines horror and military science fiction.
Mars Is...Away from Shelter
The year is 2051. Every probe sent to reconnoiter up close of Candor Canyon, Mars has failed. Accidents? NASA Director, Ken Hsu, thinks not. Suspecting a sinister hand, he surreptiously re-directs the latest probe sent to Mars from its destined mission plan, toward Candor where it finds an anomaly, an ancient structure not wrought by natural random processes. DoD immediately steps in to investigate, much to the chagrin of President Diane Keynes, who worries not only about the ever-increasing influence DoD exerts over space exploration, but also fears any semblance of catastrophe will sink her re-election bid in the coming year. Blinded by ambition, and her hatred for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Henry Santos, she is unaware of an odious danger much closer to her than a dead alien ruin on Mars, much more present and quite alive, threatening her administration, her sanity, and her life. Though tough, strong willed, and astute, she needs help. Will she get it before it's too late? At risk is more than her singular life. All humanity on Earth could suffer should she fail.
The Middle Atlantic League, 1925äóñ1952
The small and midsized cities of western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia reached their peaks of population and prosperity in the second quarter of the 20th century. The baseball teams from these towns formed the Middle Atlantic League, the strongest circuit in the low minors and the one with the most alumni to advance to the majors. This thorough history chronicles the MAL through three distinct phases from its 1925 inaugural season to its dissolution in 1952. During the first several seasons, most clubs hung one step from financial disaster despite support from local communities. Then the league flourished during the Great Depression as president Elmer Daily magically found investors and night baseball boosted working class attendance. Now enjoying a modicum of financial stability and an infusion of young talent, the clubs became talent farms for major league teams. Both the league and its cities went into decline as the country underwent seismic cultural and economic shifts following World War II.
