Tony Colombo USNR, a former merchant marine officer, is appointed to command a new Navy ship, PC-450, a 173 foot, steel-hulled and much advanced submarine chaser carrying five officers and sixty-five men. After a period of escorting convoys up and down the Atlantic coast, Tony suddenly finds himself escorting ships loaded with Marine Corps equipment all the way to Wellington, New Zealand and then to Brisbane, Australia. Once arrived, he is instantly ordered to begin escorting small convoys up and down the Australian coast. Some weeks later, Tony and PC-450 engage in battle with a dangerous Japanese midget submarine which is attempting to penetrate Brisbane Harbor.  In the summer of 1942, as PC-450 begins to escort numerous convoys from Australia to Noumea in New Caledonia, the United States suddenly invades Guadalcanal with the result that Tony begins guiding convoys north in support of the invasion while fending off the multiple day and night air raids that the Japanese throw down The Slot. Subsequently, following the hard fought victory on Guadalcanal, PC-450 participates in the invasion of the Russell Islands and then, during the grinding fight for New Georgia, PC-450 not only helps to fend off Japanese air attacks on the fleet but twice engages in surface actions when the Japanese attempt to infiltrate troops onto the island. Wounded in a sudden air attack that radar could not detect in advance, Tony and Baldy are returned to Brisbane for convalescence and new assignments.

  Four novels in one volume, featuring a British doctor who investigates symptoms and suspects with equal dedication . . . This collection of crime thrillers stars Dr Cathy Moreland, who manages not only her own practice and her bipolar disorder, but also investigations into murder, and includes:Shooting Pains When a patient visits Cathy with a disturbing story of marital tension and a bruise on her arm, she’s understandably concerned. But Fiona, despite confiding her fear of her husband, refuses further help. After Fiona’s husband asks Cathy to sign his gun licence form days later, and then someone is killed with the gun, Cathy must sort through her suspicions and find out what’s been happening behind closed doors.Clinically Dead During a condolence call to medical secretary Sara Wiseman, Cathy finds it odd that Sara seems more upset about the recent suspicious death of her boss at the hospital than about the loss of her own mother to Alzheimer’s. But she’s far more alarmed when Sara’s husband says he suspects Sara was having an affair with the dead doctor—and fears that was the least of her transgressions . . .Lethal Resuscitation A medical conference becomes a murder scene when Cathy checks in at a country hotel for an advanced life support course—and the equipment meant for saving lives is instead used to kill a bad-tempered doctor.The Vanishing Patient Cathy is taken aback when an irate patient claims his ailing wife has been kidnapped by one of her colleagues using a false name. Is someone impersonating a doctor, or is Adam Steer delusional? But the more she looks into the bizarre story, the more she starts doubting her own sanity. Can she make sense of the events around her before everything spirals out of control?

  Kael’Nyrin Scrolls The: Our...

  Where speculative fiction meets philosophical depth, this work redefines humanity’s place in the cosmic tapestry. 
  In the Mariana Trench, a crystalline obelisk revealed the Kael’Nyrin Scrolls—records of a trans‑dimensional civilization, Kardashev III architects who seeded life across galaxies. We are their legacy, children born of starlight. 
  It began in shadows: a rain‑slicked London alley, a scientist burdened by secrets handing me an encrypted drive. “The world deserves to know,” he whispered, then vanished—swallowed by the night. 
  Inside were fragments of the Scrolls and his desperate log. The Kael’Nyrin emerge not as conquerors but as subtle architects. Their creed: Guide without touching, shape without holding. Gardeners of life, conductors of a symphony spanning eons. 
  Yet their legacy bore fractures—schisms, rogue interventions, ecological collapses, genetic compromises echoing through time. The Scrolls reflect wisdom and humility, restraint over dominion, even as they acknowledged failure. 
  As the consortium buckles under the revelations, readers confront a staggering truth: our empathy, our art, our consciousness may be the lingering echo of a civilization that nurtured life without claiming it. 
  When a reckless experiment awakens the obelisk’s defenses, catastrophe strikes—a final lesson that power without wisdom brings ruin. The truth remains suppressed. 
  The ultimate message is responsibility—a sacred warning, a cosmic psalm, a quiet plea. Humanity must prove worthy of the light bestowed. The Kael’Nyrin set the stage. The pen now rests in human hands.
