  The Mystery of a Midsummer Night...

  George Robert Sims was born on the 2nd September 1847 in Kennington, London, the eldest of six children. 
  His initial forays into literature were humorous pieces in ‘Fun’ magazine and ‘The Referee’, but then he applied his skills and hard work to the plight of the poor and social reform.  On these subjects he wrote seriously and extensively though perhaps his ballad ‘Christmas Day in the Workhouse’ is both his best remembered contribution and a scathing introduction of his views.  
  As well as a number of novels, and a short story collection featuring the female detective Dorcas Dene, he wrote poetry and over 30 plays.  In the 1880’s he had the distinction of having 4 plays running simultaneously in London West End.  These works brought him substantial revenues though gambling in later life shrank his fortune considerably. 
  Sims also bred bulldogs, played many sports and enjoyed a large circle of literary and artistic friends. In 1907 one of the causes he championed helped bring into being the Court of Criminal Appeal.   
  George R Sims died from liver cancer on the 4th September 1922 at his home in Regents Park, London.  He was 75.

  Modern-Day Piracy Square off Against the U.S. Navy Under the High SeasIt's 2037. A band of modern-day pirates station-hops across the Indian Ocean in an old Russian submarine bought off the black market. Each attack bolder and more costly than the last, these pirates leave behind a trail of broken bodies, businesses, and stolen submarines at every undersea station they visit—and it’s up to Lieutenant Commander Alex Coleman and attack submarine USS Kansas to stop them.Teaming up with his old college roommate and not-so-gentle giant, marine lieutenant colonel Paul Swanson, Alex sets out on his very own pirate hunt. But these outlaws aren’t in rundown little skiffs that are easy to track and find. They’ve got a genuine warship and the will to turn weapons against innocent civilians and undersea stations, and more importantly, they’re good at stealth.With time running out, Alex convinces his friendly neighborhood U.N. representative to rent a ridiculously expensive civilian submarine with every bell and whistle a rich guy can dream of—and many Alex can't! Cut off from Kansas’ support, he and the marines play bait for the pirates.Alex isn’t used to in-your-face battles. He’s trained to push buttons and fire torpedoes, not for the messy and bloody hand-to-hand stuff. His plan is for Kansas to nab the pirates before anyone can wave a gun near his nerdy face. But plans never survive contact with the enemy, and when the hunters become the hunted, can Alex learn a new type of warfare before it’s too late? 
  Before the Storm is a prequel to the near-future World War III submarine series War of the Submarine.
