THE GATHERING STORM


ONE FEDERAL JUDGE IS DEAD AND THE PRESIDENT COULD BE NEXT

Only one person knows who lies behind the sinister winds blowing off the Lake Michigan shore.

Barbara Post is an ATF agent from Texas who specializes in heavy-weapons and explosives. After investigating the murder of a federal judge in Yellowstone National Park, she is assigned to the ATF office in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she is to investigate a militia movement brewing along the shores of the Great Lakes.

What Barbara discovers is more horrorific than anyone could ever have imagined. She finds the militia much more than a group of local yokel government dissidents. Instead it is really made up of elite trained soldiers who have been deliberately cultivating a low profile. They are not only responsible for the federal judge’s death in Wyoming but have an even more dangerous plot they are about to execute.

A timely suspense-filled action thriller about the threat of terrorism from militias within the United States.

THE THIRD DRAGON


In July 1945, a secret U.S. mission dropped the first atomic bomb — on Tokyo — only it never detonated and was never recovered.

Fifty years after this failed attempt, Air Force Major Don Stewart takes a position at the American Embassy in Tokyo. A committed Christian, Stewart moves his family to Japan, where he is assigned to work with Toshiro Okawa of Japanese Internal Security. They are investigating Sam Owens, an American connected to the secret 1945 failed atomic bomb mission who was recently killed in Hibiya Park.

Don and Toshiro discover that a dangerous Japanese terrorist group has been active in that area as well. As Don gets closer to the truth and the terrorist group kidnaps his family, Don and Toshiro must race to save not only his family but stop the terrorists from detonating the long-dormant lost bomb.

Don must confront and overcome the terrorists in the middle of Tokyo Bay in the middle of a typhoon.

THE RAPTOR VIRUS


The millennium bug scare is a distant memory, but the threat of a computer disaster has not gone away, and those who threatened Hanna have not forgotten.
