  It’s 1982. The past is catching up to the present for Barbara Bixby. As Lea, Cooke, and Billie piece together her previous lives it becomes clear. Barbara is not the only one that suffers from her violent condition. One summer back in 1911, a stranger came to her door, sending both of them on a wild chase through a rapidly changing world. These two immortal monsters from opposite sides of the world not only share a morbid bond, but also the desire to hang on to who they were before. That desire might be the thing that destroys them...or it might be the thing that saves them from monsters more dangerous than either can face alone.

  When one of a unique Jedburgh team is captured in Occupied France, will the rest of the team and the local Maquis be able to save them and, more importantly, complete their mission?Summer 1942, and the nascent French Resistance is asking the Allies for help as they become increasingly active against the German occupiers. Their requests for arms and equipment are urgent, but the Allies are hesitant to respond until they know more about the willingness of the French to fight. The decision is made to parachute special operatives—Jedburghs—into France to determine the state of the Resistance.  The Jedburghs follows one of these clandestine three-person commando team attached to the super-secret British Special Operations command. The team parachutes into Nazi-occupied France to lead the local Resistance forces in conducting sabotage and guerrilla warfare against the German occupiers in a deadly kill or be killed series of sabotage operations.  The specially selected team members––a combat-hardened U.S. Marine, a tough-as-nails French commando, and a female French émigré out for revenge––must first undergo a series of tests and field operations to determine if they have what it takes to be a behind-the-lines agent. In the process they develop an unbreakable bond of loyalty that unites them as they lead the fractious members of the Resistance against the battle-hardened Germans and face the ultimate test of loyalty when one of their number is captured.

  The Crystal Man

  The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell - Before H.G. Wells imagined the Invisible Man, Edward Page Mitchell made him vanish. Discover the original tale of unseen horror and scientific wonder—The Crystal Man. 
  Edward Page Mitchell (1852–1927) was a pioneering yet often overlooked figure in early science fiction. A journalist, editor, and short story writer, Mitchell worked for The New York Sun, where many of his speculative tales first appeared anonymously in the late 19th century. His work, rediscovered decades later, revealed astonishing foresight—anticipating concepts like invisibility, faster-than-light travel, time machines, artificial intelligence, and even teleportation, all before these ideas were popularized by H.G. Wells or Jules Verne. 
  Mitchell never collected his stories in his lifetime and published them without fanfare, contributing to his obscurity. But modern scholars now recognize him as one of the founding voices of American science fiction. His stories, including The Crystal Man, The Tachypomp, and The Man Without a Body, blend scientific imagination with a journalistic touch, often exploring the ethical and emotional consequences of advanced technology. 
  Though largely forgotten in his era, Edward Page Mitchell’s legacy lives on as a visionary who helped shape the genre before it even had a name.
