Summary

It's the aftermath of the second opium war in Southeast Asia. Declan Malcolm, the newly elected captain, must lead a crew of sailors to navigate the treacherous high seas while protecting goods for a local triad leader, Three-Finger Tang.
 
At the same time, Civil War veterans Ridley and Dranoff are adjusting to post-reconstruction and become mercenaries for hire.
 
Both groups seek purpose to their life, and their paths cross by chance. But when a celebration of good fortune turns dangerous, the mariners and soldiers must join forces to vanquish a supernatural foe - or die trying.
 
Historical fiction meets bone-chilling horror in Andrew Davie's 'From Beyond', a story set in the dangerous high seas of late 19th century Asia.
Available since: 05/16/2022.
Print length: 70 pages.

    This 14th installment of the Jerry McNeal Series has Jerry and Gunter heading to Texas. 
Along the way, Jerry finds himself dealing with unexpected visitors who challenge his patience and further test his psychic abilities. 
Among the visitors is the ghostly spirit of Texas Ranger, Clive Tisdale, who is not a fan of dogs, refuses to tell Jerry why he is there, and if his presence has anything to do with Texas Ranger Raymond Hale. 
Raymond Hale oversaw mob informant Antonio Maioriello until both men went missing years earlier and were presumed dead until recent weeks when Maioriello’s image started showing up in tourist photos taken outside the Alamo. 
At first, this was presumed to be a camera malfunction, as no one recalled him being present at the time the photos were taken. 
Then Maioriello showed up in a photo with the niece of Bruno Deluca – the man Maioriello informed on before being placed in the witness relocation program, and Deluca used his influence to demand answers. 
Now, not only must Jerry locate the spirit who is causing the chaos, he must convince Bruno Deluca that Maioriello is truly dead. 
Will Jerry and Gunter get to the Alamo in time to defend it from another invasion? 
Will Tisdale change his stance about dogs? 
Find out in Star Treatment – book 14 of The Jerry McNeal Series.

    The night was still, and quiet, all seemed the same for the ghost of the hotel. 
It would be another boring night roam for her, she foresaw. 
Until the silence was broken by a man screaming. She wandered to the room the scream came from. It was the room she was murdered in. 
When she got there, she found a man looking terrified at a grey alien. 
He had apparently awoken and seen the alien about to abduct him. 
The ghost was nice, so she felt there was only one thing to do to scare away the alien and save the man. All is not as it seems, how will this end?
