  Two children survive. 
  Where are they now? 
   
  In the chaos of Jonestown's final hours, two children vanished into the Guyanese jungle, escaping the horror that claimed nearly a thousand lives. Given new identities and a second chance, they were supposed to be safe.

  Violent incidents on the Kenai River and on commercial fishing grounds of Cook Inlet prompted Trooper, Andy Biggs, to contact State Senator Price in an attempt to change fishing regulations causing harsh attitudes leading to violence. The good senator formed a panel composed of commercial fishermen, sports fisherman, subsistence users, fish and game biologists and regulators, sport fishing guides and other special interest group leaders to hold hearings on the matter. Outside interests, meaning non-Alaskans, pay protesters to disrupt the hearings. Every faction of Alaska's fishing industry has strong, self-serving, opinions, and a personal stake, in the issues being considered by the panel; which leads to even more violent incidents. Several state politicians involve themselves in the argument and are paid for their votes by cannery owners rejecting the proposed changes. Alaska Fish Wars is fictional, but the conflicts are real and have raged for more than sixty years—and continue today. Alaska Fish Wars is an insight into the arguments nobody wins—especially the resource.

  From the creator of Jurassic Park and ER 
  Leagues below the sparkling blue water of the Caribbean Sea lies the mysterious wreckage of the Grave Descend. Protected by a wall of coral reef and blood-thirsty sharks, the corpse of the sunken yacht has been deemed unrecoverable by every diver in the world. Until James McGregor is offered a shot at it.  
  For McGregor, a thirty-nine-year-old diver with a long history of unsavory salvage jobs, it’s his last chance at a big payday. But the more he learns about the wreck, the more questions he uncovers—because none of the survivors are telling the same story. How did the ship really sink? What was its cargo? And why is this whole project starting to feel like a suicide mission?
