No Holds Barred
Spencer Dunmore's hilarious novel follows the adventures of an ambitious young man from London's Muswell Hill in the New York of the 1950s as he makes his way through the Machiavellian, sometimes ingenuous world of Insurance. It is the summer of 1953 when Norman Pickles arrives in the States from shabby, post-war England, determined to survive and succeed. The job he eventually lands is a lowly one, assistant editor of the Prime Life Insurance Company's house magazine; but thanks to a series of extraordinary accidents he is soon ascending the corporate ladder. The dizzy way upwards for Norman is indeed accelerated by other people's disasters -- with, in its course, many outrageous, alarming ...
Squadron
The twelve linked stories in Squadron have the power-packed punch of a novel. Blending terror, humour, romance, and courage, they demonstrate anew why Spencer Dunmore ranks among the world's best writers of aviation fiction.

Lost Subs
Through gripping text and powerful images, this chronicle traces the evolution of the submarine and the history of under-the-seas warfare. Harrowing tales of a submerged death and eerie images of ghost ships are haunting, yet the daring stories of the vessels and their inhabitants invoke a nostalgic courage, allowing the reader to reflect on a sunken, dark fate that is rarely mentioned. State-of-the-art underwater photographs, accompanied by archival images and cutaway diagrams, answer many questions about why each submarine sank and make this the definitive illustrated history.

Duty with Honour: the Story of a Young Canadian with Bomber Command in the Second World War
The role of Bomber Command in World War II has been hotly debated over the years. Whatever one may think about the effectiveness and morality of the overall strategy, it is difficult to question the commitment of the individual airmen. Bomber Command suffered the greatest loss per capita of all the Allied forces, experiencing a 63 per cent casualty rate. At one point during the war a navigator could expect to survive fewer than 12 bombing operations. Duty With Honour is the story of one young navigator who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, from 1940-1945. Flight Lieutenant Lindsay Reynolds completed a tour of operations in the Middle East and returned home in 1943 to instruct in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada. This is the story of the impact of his experiences in a time of war, on the life he lived when World War II was over. It is a story of one mans commitment to duty with honour.
