Sinopsis

The Scottish Relic Trilogy: Book Three
 Miranda MacDonnell is on the run. When she inherited a mysterious relic from her mother, she had no idea of the dangers it would bring. Now, hunted by a relentless foe who will stop at nothing to find her, she has one choice: stow away on the ship of the notorious privateer, Black Hawk.
Rob Hawkins, the privateer known as Black Hawk, has a mission from the Tudor king to find and kill the rogue commander, Sir Ralph Evers. To complete his quest, Hawk must find Miranda, a young woman Evers is pursuing. Caught in a tempest, he is shipwrecked with a lad who demonstrates an uncanny ability for saving him. Cast away on the mysterious Isle of the Dead in the Outer Hebrides, Hawk realizes that the 'lad' traveling with him is actually Miranda MacDonnell, and having her means that Evers will come to him. What begins as a ploy—using her as bait—soon changes, however, as feelings begin to emerge between them.
Ancient forces are at work, drawing all four possessors of the relic's power to the Isle of the Dead for a final battle where good must overcome the forces of evil in this spectacular climax to the Scottish Relic Trilogy.

    Adam Cain is an Alien with an Attitude . . .  
     
     
     
    His Adventures Continue. 
     
     
     
    The war with the Sol-Kor within their home galaxy has finally begun, spearheaded by the revenge-seeking Hal'ic, whose massive fleet of warships is commanded by none other than Admiral Andy Tobias. 
     
     
     
    In the meantime, Adam Cain and his gang are stranded on Kor, trying to survive the battering the planet is taking at the hands of the Hal'ic. But soon they'll find their way to Silana, the second capital of the Sol-Kor, to where Queen J'nae has taken Panur, along with the prototype trans-dimensional starship the Star Panther. 
     
     
     
    The enemies of the Sol-Kor can win the war, if Adam and his team are able to stop J'nae from building a fleet of Star Panthers, even as the greatest space battles in history are becoming commonplace within this far-distant galaxy. This is epic action, epic heroism, epic adventure on the grandest of scales. And only as Adam Cain and his band of Human wrecking balls can do it. 
     
     
     
    The very survival of the universe is at stake. If J'nae can build her fleet then no one is safe. Her reign of terror will extend from the mountains of Kor, all the way to the blue skies of planet Earth. 
     
     
     
    And only Adam Cain can stop her.

    A revolution is waged against a totalitarian regime in this “courageous” novel of a dystopian near-future America by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author (Chicago Tribune). In the heart of Philadelphia, insurgent Andrew Durant has been nursing a festering rage. And he’s not alone. Through underground networks, he’s found himself among a secret thousands, building an army called the Minute Men. They’re readying themselves for war to reclaim what was once America.   In the nation now known as the Democracy, independent thought is a thing of the past. The Constitution is waste paper. A conscienceless president has been appointed by the military—for life. The government has co-opted farmland crops. Citizens are divided between two classes: wealthy corporations and the destitute. Areas of the country devastated by war or natural disaster remain unchecked. On behalf of national security, neighbors are instructed to spy on one another. Exposing those who are undemocratic is law. And all dissenters are eliminated.   Durant, the chosen agent for the poverty-stricken rural Democracy, finds himself increasingly isolated and afraid. Mobilizing revolutionaries has become a dangerous tactic; the Minute Men have their own traitors, infiltrators assigned to undo everything Durant and his men are fighting to conquer. Now, the rebels have only their beliefs left to trust.   A stunning dystopian vision in the tradition of George Orwell’s 1984 and Ayn Rand’s Anthem, The Devil’s Advocate is author Taylor Caldwell’s “tour de force” (Kirkus Reviews). More than a half-century after its original publication, it is timelier than ever.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Taylor Caldwell including rare images from the author’s estate.
