Clear and a Million
Is Success More Important Than Love? With Clear and a Million, bestselling author Kent McInnis brings us back to the flawed, feeling, and completely authentic characters from his hit debut, Sierra Hotel. Returning to civilian life sounded easy back when Rob Amity was flying jets for the U.S. Air Force. The reality of an empty apartment and the difficulty of finding his place in a civilian world soon have him rethinking his choices. Hoping to find something of the old camaraderie of the squadron flight line, Rob reaches out to his friend Captain Hal Freed, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran. They agree to a road trip on historic Route 66 in Rob’s sporty new Porsche, headed for the Grand Can...
Semper Fly
Family, flight, and a fight for life. Bestselling author Kent McInnis masterfully concludes his Sierra Hotel trilogy with Semper Fly, a gripping yarn exploring the aftermath of war and the enduring spirit of those who served. In the wake of the Vietnam War, Rob Amity's life is a portrait of the American dream turned turbulent. After retiring from the U.S. Air Force, he finds prosperity in Oklahoma's oil boom and joy in his marriage to Suzy and her son Sean. While Rob's passion for flying is reignited after a decade, his return to the skies is marred by a pattern of escalating harassment over his military service. When an ordinary father-son camping trip spirals into confrontation, he dismisses it as nothing more than macho bluster—but he couldn’t be more wrong. Unbeknownst to Rob, he and his family have become pawns in a deadly game targeting veterans. Hunted down and kidnapped during a visit to the Grand Canyon, they’re forced to confront just how deeply the scars of Vietnam still run. How could this have happened in the America they know and love? Will these wounds ever heal? And can they ever hope to fly home in peace, free from the ghosts of the past?
Sierra Hotel
A Question of Honor and Duty. First Lieutenant Rob Amity is an Air Force instructor pilot based Stateside during Vietnam.

Throw in a vindictive senior officer known as Captain "Military" and his feelings for Suzy, his former girlfriend who is now the wife of his best friend and commander, and you have a bad situation that can only get worse. Seeking solace, Rob gives in to the many temptations of the officers' club and the flightline. The more he can focus on the ...

Explaining Jesus
How exactly does one explain Jesus? That is the central question of this book. But the task of explaining Jesus is complicated. For many nonbelievers, skeptics, or practitioners of non- Jesus-based religions or spiritualities, it can be very strange to refer to a particular man who lived in the first century CE as someone who is still living. Even for some believers, this idea can be a difficult thing to understand—even given the teachings of their faith. Thus, whether believer or nonbeliever or somewhere in-between, for the intellectually curious, there is need for an explanation. Explaining Jesus explores the possibilities of a secular, interdisciplinary, science-based explanation for the phenomenon of Jesus.
Death in Documentaries
Memento mori is a broad and understudied cultural phenomenon and experience. The term “memento mori” is a Latin injunction that means “remember mortality,” or more directly, “remember that you must die.” In art and cultural history, memento mori appears widely, especially in medieval folk culture and in the well-known Dutch still life vanitas paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Yet memento mori extends well beyond these points in art and cultural history. In Death in Documentaries: The Memento Mori Experience, Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter suggests that documentaries are an especially apt form of contemporary memento mori. Bennett-Carpenter shows that documentaries may offer composed transformative experiences in which a viewer may renew one’s consciousness of mortality – and thus renew one’s life.
