  Who is leaking secrets to the enemy . . . ? 
   
   
   
  1941 
   
   
   
  Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly is flying over Northern France when his tank is holed and he's forced to crash-land. Luckily, he is picked up by the French Resistance before the enemy can get to him and, after a tense few days moving between safe houses, he escapes back to Blighty. 
   
   
   
  Reunited with his squadron, Angus expects to return to flying duties. However, Squadron Leader Bentley informs him that he's not going to be flying sorties. He is singled out to lead a top-secret mission. The special mission is to conduct a low flying night operation with six blacked out Spitfires to strafe a convoy carrying a top general from the German High Command and assassinate him. 
   
   
   
  Training quickly commences but a spate of unexpected enemy fighter attacks leads the team to suspect that a spy is trying to leak details of the upcoming mission to the Germans. 
   
   
   
  Angus is put on the case to squirrel out the informer and protect the rest of the men from the enemy within. 
   
   
   
  Will Angus succeed in his secret mission? Can he identify the mole? Or will the lives of all the men in Maverick Squadron be compromised . . . ?

  Laos File is a gold medal winner from the Military Writers Society of America! 
  The death of a salty old senior NCO who ran special operations in Vietnam, and discovery of detailed notebooks he kept on those classified missions, leads Marine Gunner Shake Davis on a shocking and potentially lethal quest to find out happened to hundreds of American POWs who disappeared along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail. Davis attaches himself to an official post-war stabilization mission designed to establish normal relations between his nation and the DRV with a secret agenda to prove - or disprove once and for all - what he suspects might be the final fate of many Americans still listed as Missing In Action from the Vietnam War. Davis finds himself back fighting a war he thought ended long ago and narrowly escapes assassination by former enemy forces who desperately want their secret buried along with the bodies they claim were simply casualties of war ... rather than murder victims. 
  "Not Many Marines can claim the titles "killer" and "writer." Add one more victory to the long list. Great book! Told in salty jargon, as only a Captain of Marines can do." --R. Lee Ermey, Gunnery Sergeant USMC (Ret), Actor: Full Metal Jacket, Mail Call

  Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure. 
  A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present. 
  When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’. 
  Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.  
  And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt. 
  Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line. 
  Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.  
  The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.  
  He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World. 
  The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’ 
    
  The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them. 
  Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.
