The next day she is walking the beach and finds this gentleman floating in the water. Fearing he is dead, she pulls him from the water. Discovering he is still alive, she begins asking his names, but he appears to have lost his memory. It looks like someone has tried to kill him, and the police is interested in him and the incident.

Although the man’s name is Quin. A curious note, the pulp character The Black Bat’s real name is Tony Quinn. However, Quin also goes by Captain Hazard, another pulp hero. I was further amazed when his million dollar boat is named <i>The Doctor Is In. </i>I remember an article written on Doc Savage titled <i>The Doctor Is In. </i>Curious there are so many tags to pulp characters. Although the mystery was small, the characters were topnotch, and the story was lots of fun. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">We meet Nicole Phillips when she travels to the crash site of the plane piloted by her husband. There was no body, but investigators believe coyotes may have dragged the body away. A year later her brother is invited to an archeological dig in Turkey, and he talks Nicole into joining him. Unfortunately, when she arrives in Turkey she discovers Ian has been kidnapped. In the meantime, CIA analyst, Josh Baruch believes the man who killed his brother is responsible for the kidnapping, and is waiting in Turkey for Nicole Phillips when she arrives, as he plans on using her for bait to catch Helmut Meier, better known as The Viper, and the murderer of Josh’s brother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">The author sent me a copy of the book for an honest review. This is a complicated plot, with interesting characters, set in a location known for international spies and intrigue. Josh Baruch is a Jewish American, and well familiar with Turkey, as he was stationed at Incirlik AFB in Adana, Turkey, a place I am also very familiar with. I was stationed there with the Army in 1964, at TUSLOG, as a squad leader with the rank of corporal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">This was a great read, though a few things did bother me. The villain is supposedly the third richest man in the world, but seems to be after small profit in current crime, and a man so rich should have enough lawyers to keep him out of jail (in this case, an American federal prison). Plus, we find that there is someone pulling his strings also, a minor criminal that is behind the whole mess, and he is after Nicole Phillips, as well as the treasure. Now for detective Pavlik, a Russian with the Turkey police, and master of disguise who plays many parts that just don’t seem to fit. In the end an American Air Force rescue team saves the day on Turkey soil, which also was a worrisome finale to a great plot – personally, it would have appeared more legit if the team was led by a Turkey command. Over all, the Christian background is a delight in this international thriller set in Muslim controlled Turkey, and well worth the read. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I mean, I'm sure everything will be fine, but you know, things happen. This can be a strange place. You hear stories: people changing and buildings rearranging, ghostly sounds and overly attentive textbooks, odd notions and foul deeds . . . even monsters! Hah. Just stories, right? Sure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">An anthology of top authors, all stories taking place at the Miskatonic University, where horror abides. A fictional university created by H.P. Lovecraft in a 1922 novel, the university is located in Arkham, a fictional town in Essex County, Massachusetts. The university and its faculty come alive - for a while, at least - in these 13 tales. Believe me, monsters find their way here to feed off those unwary souls who bring them forth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

All of the writing is excellent, and the stories honor H.P, Lovecraft, as each author tells their tale of weird menace. As with any anthology, there will be one story that the reviewer will like a bit more, perhaps, than the rest. Although I enjoyed them all, I think my favorite yarn was <i>Official Inquiry Into The Waite-Gilman-Carter Antarctic Expedition </i>by K.G. McAbee. Wasn’t that a great title? You just know that expedition has brought back some terrifying monster for the professors to examine. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

But this decision comes with consequences she didn’t foresee, and her first night as the vigilante Bounty winds up being something for which she was wholly unprepared. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">A crisis of faith eventually gives way to certainty: both in terms of discovering who killed a young man named Johnny Ruiz and in terms of coping with the latest change in her own life. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

But it shows where she obtained her super powers at least.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #181818; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">It seems like every time I hop onto social media, I see some version of the traditional-versus-self-publishing debate. People are wondering which route they should take, and others on either side of the debate state their case. I think part of it stems from the stigma that’s still attached to being self-published — a stigma that, while diminished, still exists.</span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Now, I will say this: the decision of which publication method to pursue is up to each individual author. Different people have different aspirations and expectations, and ultimately, the decision as to which path to follow is up to you and you alone.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">But I can offer insight as to why I chose the self-publishing route.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Mostly, it boils down to something I don’t have: patience. I’m not a patient person; I never have been, and I likely never will be. As such, the traditional route holds little appeal to me. I don’t have it in me to submit a manuscript to an agent or publisher, only to wait weeks — if not months — for a response (which, let’s face it, would likely be no). That’s a lot of time wasted on… what, exactly?</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">As a self-published author, I operate on my own timeframe. Yes, I have more responsibilities; as a self-published author, I have to worry about editors and formatting and cover design and marketing — all things a traditional publisher would (probably) take care of for me. But that added responsibility also brings with it a sort of freedom. I have control over the entire process. I control the content, and I control the timetable.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">By self-publishing, I’m able to tell the stories I want, the way I want to tell them, when I want to tell them. That freedom holds a great deal of appeal to me, particularly as I write stories that are just on the outside of what a mainstream publisher might be willing to publish.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Someday, I might pursue traditional publishing; there’s something to be said for receiving advances, writing stories, and letting the publisher handle all of the other stuff. But I see self-publishing as a trade-off, and it’s one I’m willing to make right now. Yes, I have to secure my own editor and I have to format my manuscripts myself. Yes, I have to either hire a cover designer or find my own cover another way. Yes, I’m the one who has to blow up Goodreads and social media to tell people about my work.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">But I get to do all that on my own time. I decide when my books come out. I decide what gets published and what doesn’t. And because of this, if I publish a book, then you know damn well it’s something I really wanted to be out there.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Again, it’s your call which way you go. I just wanted to give you all a glimpse as to why I chose the path I did.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Thinking about his carrots, and the money they made, he decides to offer more for sale the next day – and the next.

But this spring Sydney St. John finds herself fighting for her life against another danger, one from the past. When her intern's body is discovered in the archives processing room, everyone wants to believe the girl's death was an accident or a horrible mistake. But Sydney sets out to discover whether the cruel murder of today resulted from another crime committed nearly seventy years earlier, searching for clues as only an archivist can. Her search leads her to another danger, different, in the person of Ben Bartlett, grandson of the creator of the very collection at the center of the mystery. Is he to be her lover? Or her murderer?</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Sydney St. John is the archivist for records in Gansel, Oklahoma. It’s May of the present day, and tornado season. Everyone is watching the weather for violent storms. Arriving at work one morning she finds her university intern dead. Sydney believes her murder involves the latest material donated to the archives. While the local and state police investigate the homicide, she concentrates on the material, believing the answers lie there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">In 1938, Josiah Bartlett was a filmmaker that travelled to small towns making short films using local children. In Vernon, he wrote a play that involved a young 12-year-old girl being kidnapped, and two young boys rescue her from an old barn. But something goes wrong. The girl, Violet Parsons really disappears. At the same time, a banker is reported kidnapped and ransom of two hundred thousand dollars is asked for his return. The money was paid, but his body was later found. Sydney follows the clues in the archives and films, and a story slowly unravels making her believe that Violet Parsons is still alive, but using another name, and may have been involved in the murder of the banker. But complications arise when Josiah’s grandson, Ben Bartlett comes from California to look through the material. Sydney’s afraid she may be falling for him, and he could be the murderer. Mixed with the danger of a killer loose in Gansel, there are severe storms, as well as tornados that make life difficult in the area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">I was given a copy of the book for an honest review. This was an interesting plot, and I wanted to find out the truth about the missing girl in 1938, but like most cozy mysteries, the story moves slow, even with the storms and attempts on Sydney’s life. The story is clean, and sex is kept in the background. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Astounding was the leading science fiction magazine in the Golden Age of SF. When John Campbell took over editorial control the stories became more believable than the previous soap opera appearing in the news rack magazines of the day. The authors submitting to Astounding knew that their stories better show real science and nuts and bolts technology if they wanted published in John Campbell’s magazine. Three such authors were Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and L. Ron Hubbard. This book covers them and John Campbell in biographies that dig into their backgrounds, showing not only their talents, but also their faults. It also looks at the women behind the men. It’s a history that looks into the magazine in that period when Astounding led the field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">I was captivated by the stories I heard about these men and women. As a young reader in the early 1950s, I discovered Astounding and the other SF magazines, and read everything I could find, especially these authors, but also other science fiction masters like A.E. van Vogt, Ray Bradbury, George O. Smith, and the rest. For those of you that want to learn more about Astounding and the Golden Age of science fiction and the authors, I highly recommend this book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

“A Look At Haunted Places In Virginia”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
In Charlottesville and the surrounding counties are a number of places and buildings that appear to be haunted. The author and her brother tour the wide area, she looking for signs and stories of hauntings, and her brother taking pictures of the places they visit. Most hauntings appear to be connected to battles of the Civil War that took place in this area of Virginia, but there are murders that also tend to have ghostly apparitions, as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Reading about the hauntings was fun, though in my opinion they are not restless souls that haven’t crossed over yet, but the evil reflections of violent death and murder that remain in those areas, leaving a passageway for demons to emerge. I also love great architect, and the photographs of the mansions and homes where these hauntings took place are beautifully displayed throughout the narrative.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
War is violent and evil, and if we learned anything from the Civil War, brother should not fight brother again. There are other ways to achieve peace without massive killing of one another. Regardless of your opinion of ghosts and phantoms, this book will hold your interest to the last page. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">As a cadet with the Arizona Highway Patrol, Hui-Chien got hands-on experience and some street-cred with the officers while she worked toward a degree in Criminal Justice. Homicide Detective was her goal—until a blistering hot August day when a routine dispatch to a traffic accident changed her life forever.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">News of the abduction hit Detective Fallon Brooks hard. However, Brooks had troubles of his own—he was out on leave due to an injury suffered during an incident involving the shooting death of an unarmed black man, an incident that had him in hot water with the LAPD. Nonetheless, the thought of the young Asian woman at the mercy of two convicted murders—one a child molester—shook him to his core. Brooks puts his conflict with the department and his current status as pariah of the force aside, and sets out on a desperate mission to find Hui-Chien.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">There are several sex scenes, as well as some profanity in the book, but the plot and characterization is topnotch, and there are several twists that are unexpected. Plus, we have a good cop and bad cop situation. The bad cop that plants evidence to convict. The good cop that plants evidence to prove the opposite when he knows the original evidence was planted by the bad cop. I couldn’t put the book down, as it kept my interest throughout, and the ending was certainly a surprise. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt;">From award-winning author, Linda Watkins, comes a story of two women, from different walks of life, and the one dog who loved them both.... A feature writer for the Boston Globe, Sarah Palmer had it all – a beautiful apartment, a great job, and a family she adored. A thousand miles away, Mindy Sue Watson didn’t have it so good. Trapped in a marriage to an abusive alcoholic, her only pleasure was in tossing a ball to a skinny dog she’d adopted from the local shelter. Sarah & Zoey is the tale of these two women and the one remarkable dog who saved them both. It is a story of the power of unconditional love. "Three disparate lives - two human, one canine - whirl through a circle of circumstance that is poignant, involving, and especially moving to dog lovers who want a novella about crisis, escape, and recovery. Sarah and Zoey can be read in short segments, so it's perfect for busy fiction readers who want high drama packed into succinct chapters. The mechanics whereby loss and endangered lives heal are nicely portrayed in a winning story that emphasizes hope and offers an involving tale dog lovers will relish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Big Anthony Tagliabue is a local character whose fiancée Agnes Ann owns a stable on the eponymous offshore island. She is secretly training a promising filly for the track when she discovers that Tagliabue also harbors a secret: he's a deep cover operative who is called to duty when a Russian spy ship transits the coast on her way back to St. Petersburg. Giselle, his enigmatic and exotic handler, intimates that his mission to rescue a defector from the Leonov might also ameliorate his thirst to find the killers of his mate. Agnes Ann is not so sure about Giselle. The result is a tense tale of high seas adventure off Georges Bank, racing drama at Saratoga, bloodletting in the north woods and intrigue on Westfarrow Island. Tagliabue is a bona fide modern day hero with a big right hand and a fast gun hand. His literary thriller will keep you reading in thrall until the last page.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;">On one fateful summer night in 2013, four former classmates converge on the rust belt town where they grew up, each of them with a mission, all of them haunted by regrets, secrets, lost loves. There's Bill Ashcraft, an alcoholic, drug-abusing activist whose fruitless ambitions have taken him from Cambodia to Zuccotti Park to New Orleans, and now back to "The Cane" with a mysterious package strapped to the underside of his truck; Stacey Moore, a doctoral candidate reluctantly confronting the mother of her former lover; Dan Eaton, a shy veteran of three tours in Iraq, home for a dinner date with the high school sweetheart he's tried to forget; and the beautiful, fragile Tina Ross, whose rendezvous with the captain of the football team triggers the novel's shocking climax.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;">The characters never appealed to me, nor did the story ever give me interest in the plot, and I found the writing boring. The publisher sent me a copy of the book for an honest review, and if I’m honest I must confess it was a waste of my time reading this. It may be classified as literary fiction, but it will never be a classic in literature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Book 3 in de Giovanni’s bestselling “Bastards of Pizzofalcone” series is set in contemporary Naples during season of cold winds, political hijinks, and murder.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">A heinous, double murder in a squalid apartment on the wrong side of town pits Inspector Lojacono, Di Nardo and the rest of the motley collection of cops known as the “bastards” of the Pizzofalcone precinct against their superiors, the press, and the local political hierarchy. Only by bringing the killer to justice can they save their reputations and the department.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">De Giovanni is one of the most versatile, prolific, and successful Eurpean mystery in Europe. His award-winning and bestselling novels, all set in Naples, offer a brilliant vision of the criminal underworld and the lives of the cops in Europe's most fabled, atmospheric, dangerous, and lustful city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">The police station at Pizzofalcone was shut down after their officers were caught selling drugs instead of doing police work. A new team of officers have been selected, some from the original force not connected with the drugs, and others from the surrounding area. There are already two marks against them. The old curse still haunts the new team, plus each have their own crosses to bear. Headquarters would love to shut the new team down, while the men and women of the new Pizzofalcone wants to prove they are honest cops and good investigators. A brother and sister are murdered. The sister has a violent boyfriend, plus their father was just released from prison after beating a man to death. These are the main suspects, though others pop up through the investigation. A second case involves what at first looks like parental sexual abuse. Two cases that are critical, and must be solved fast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">It’s the characters that drive the story, and the reader is pulled into the case from the start and glued to each step of the investigation. The writing is superb, as Giovanni’s stories always are. These are the best stories coming out of Europe, and Maurizio de Giovanni is my favorite writer of police procedural and murder mysteries from anywhere in the world. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

As Ben digs some more he finds clues to the whereabouts of a lost notebook that might contain a map to a place that is home to creatures that would rewrite everything known about history, biology and evolution. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Ben Cartwright is out of the Army now, and back home, but still looking for some excitement. Discovering that his namesake, Benjamin Cartwright, in 1908 had went in search of the lost world, sending his notes and maps to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in England. Doyle had written the fiction novel from those notes, and the actual lost world just might be real. Discussing it with his old friends, they decide to look for the fabled lost world themselves. However, they need the notes and maps entrusted to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The first hundred pages or so reminded me of the Hardy Boys solving puzzles, as they search for the hidden notes and maps; there is another group also after them, and the maps end up in the wrong hands. But that’s okay, Ben’s team has the notes, and the last hundred pages take them to the plateau. Here’s where things get scary. A comet called Primordia passes close to Earth’s orbit every ten years, and during its passing one plateau becomes a time portal, returning the mountain top millions of years in the past. It’s this plateau they have found and climbed a chimney to the top, where they discover dinosaurs and giant snakes. It doesn’t take long for everyone to be eaten, except for Ben Cartwright and his girlfriend, Emma Wilson. Just as a giant 70-foot snake is about to eat them, Emma falls over the edge of a cliff and escapes into a cave. Ben is running from the monster snake when the comet leaves Earth’s orbit once again. Emma makes it to civilization and vows to return to the plateau in ten years to save Ben.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">The yarn was fun, and being based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World made it unique. There weren’t many dinosaurs, but we do see a few. Mostly, giant snakes eat everyone, since they are the major predator on the mountaintop. Personally, I don’t like reading a book that doesn’t end, as this one is left open for part two. I would love to know what happens in the sequel, but a little afraid it will begin like Nancy Drew before we get to the meat of the book. After all, Emma must wait another ten years when the comet makes its next pass by Earth to attempt a rescue. Will Ben survive that long? And is it just a coincidence that the comet is named Primordia? Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">When Clara Sue Buchanan gave up big-city journalism to buy her Southern hometown newspaper, she was determined to ferret out the truth in whatever story that came along. What came were high school football games, the locals' catch of the day, and family reunions. Until a string of paranormal sightings turns the monotony upside down. Then millions of dollars in federal funds are on the horizon, but they threaten to ignite a blood feud. A dog is the victim of a ritualistic killing. A drug stash shows up in the truck of a dead prison guard. Things are getting a lot more interesting. Especially when a mysterious trunk appears from an era past, promising to rip open a decades-old case of unexpected death and tragic suicide. Suddenly, all of Clara Sue's big-city reporter skills are in play as she tries to crack the code of small-town corruption, venality, and wanton murder. Before she's the next victim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This was a fun story, and a slight play on the big city cop retiring to Florida to become involved in a murder case. But this time it’s a journalist and she’s female. But everything else is in place. It is a neat plot, and has good characterization, so is already ahead of those retired cops moving to Florida plots, and well worth the read. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We’re told a little about each, but they still come across as paper tigers, not real people. My main gripe, however, is with Amazon’s pricing. I prefer paperback editions, but trying to order the eight-dollar paperback, Amazon added another six dollars postage, and two dollars tax, making the paperback $16.00. I went with the $2.99 Kindle edition and ended up paying $3.24 when tax was added. Not appreciated at all. What you see is not what you pay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;">Al Clark wakes inside a coffin-like box, in a place he does not remember. Amnesia leaves him with nothing to draw on. Without clues to explain his situation. Even his name has been wiped from his mind.<br />His new moniker comes from a faded placard outside the door of the small compartment containing the metal box where he woke. The sign is old, and hard to make out, but it looks like Al...Clark.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;">At forty-something, Al is beginning a new life. A brand new life without the benefit of experience to guide him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;">It is the beginning of a quest that will take him to places he could not imagine, manage feats he would not have thought possible, and teach him the value of true friendship.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Waking up on a spaceship orbiting a planet, a man remembers nothing of his past. A faded placard appears to read “Al Clark”, so that’s all he has to go by. Roaming the giant ship he finds a young boy named Chris, who has only been awake for a while. Eventually, they discover other bodies in stasis and begin reviving them, Out of 1000 passenger only a little over 800 have survived. Below the ship is the planet Avalon, their destination. They arrived ten years previous, so something went wrong and the awakening never happened on schedule. Now the process begins of moving the survivors to Avalon and starting their human race over. It looks like a peaceful planet, and they meet another race of human-like friendly people. But their valley isn’t peaceful. Dinosaurs still rule this planet, and they will have to prove mightier or be destroyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">The story is character driven, and the reader feels for them, and follows their conquest of the terror, and the discovery of who they really are. The author knows how to pull the reader into the story. A great story that could have appeared in the classic science fiction period of the 1950s. Highly recommended. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">Ballard Stone buys a large area of land that has a tract of forest with trees that reach up to the heavens. He sends his nephews, Seath and Duncan to the forest as workers. He has already sent in his crew boss and foreman. The boys take their girlfriends along for the adventure, but there is already someone else in the woods: Raven Shadow, a witch, and her companion, a huge half man, half beast, over seven foot tall, with a sabertooth cat head, and fierce claws. Raven is determined that Ballard Stone will not have his way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14pt;">A fun read, but perhaps would have been better read around a creepy campfire on a dark night. The book, even short, would have benefited from an editor, or at least a proofreader. Reminded me of some slasher/sex teenager movies from the 1970s and ‘80s. The language, slashing, and sex could have been cleaned up to give us a great yarn with witches and monsters. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt;">The Armageddon Virus
is the third installment to his action-packed, thriller series. Travis Weld and
Chesney Barrett’s tandem is taken to a whole new level where Chesney tries to
stop the alleged illegal transaction involving a potentially deadly virus. Let’s
take a walk to memory lane – viruses were one of the major causes of death of
our ancestors. A single virus can damage an entire community; if there’s no
known cure. Weld in a pursuit of terrorists, intercepted a phone message from
an anonymous sender trying to sell a deadly virus to a weapon dealer. This
leaves them with an intense pursuit of who this person is and what this deadly
virus being sold is. Chesney, who has become Weld’s first contact in missions
like this, found herself leading towards a virology research company. As she
tries to explore virology in this industry; she has noted wary deaths, and met
various virologists. During her stay, her keen self found out about the long
time feud going on inside the premises, which she purported to be the key in
resolving the case. The closer she gets to the answers, the closer she is to
danger. Imagine a single virus that can endanger not only one or two lives, but
millions. Find out if this tandem can stop destruction to mankind or will they
succumb to this virus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Weld brings Chesney Barrett in on another case, this time involving the illegal
sale of a deadly virus. Weld commands a team of special agents who track down
and kill terrorists and drug dealers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His motto is no criminal walks away alive. A few years in the past there
was a hotel in Houston, Texas that experienced a mysterious virus that left 27
people dead out of over 400 who were at the hotel. The low death rate did not
send any signals up, but it was investigated. Weld hears coded messages coming
through an illegal weapons dealer that a deadly Armageddon virus is for sale,
and when two of the investigators of the hotel virus are murdered, he wants
someone to infiltrate the bio lab that handled the investigation. Giving
Chesney Barrett a cover story as a newspaper reporter, she’s sent to interview
the virologists at the bio lab in Texas. With Virologists, Dr. Martin Giles,
they uncover a mysterious person wearing a coat in an elevator that may have
been the origin of the virus, and this leads them to Kentucky and mines that
have been shut down, and talk of a mysterious ghost who is righting wrongs. The
virus is biding its time, preparing to become the dreaded Doomsday virus, which
will eventually kill the other 400 people from the hotel and everyone they have
come into contact with. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This is the
third novel by the author that follows Chesney Barrett and Travis Weld in a
topnotch page-turner. Using a similar plot to Jericho’s Trumpet, only this time
a deadly virus instead of nuclear bombs, both novels were exciting page-turners.
This is also a 5-star read, except for problems with the text. A proofreader
would have helped. There weren’t too many wrong words, but a few that could
have been corrected. My main problem was multiple voices in the same paragraph.
Some of this looked like formatting problems, but others appeared intentional.
For such a great read, the author should have insured no problem with the text
and formatting. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is a longtime fan of all things sci-fi and pulp fiction and was recently
introduced to these two characters, Ravenwood and Moon Man, brought to life in
the writings of author Frederick C. Davis in the 1930s. The best of classic
pulp fiction lives on with these two science fiction short stories written by
author Marlin Williams: Ravenwood Stepson of Mystery in Trumpet of Triton and
The Moon Man in Mesmerized. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was one of the first characters, during the pulp fiction era, to possess
psychic abilities. Orphaned after a plague claimed the lives of his mother and
father, Ravenwood was raised by a Tibetan mystic known only as the Nameless
One. As an unparalleled occult detective he was often called upon by Inspector
Horatio Stagg when challenged by supernatural mysteries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of Triton, Ravenwood is unwillingly forced to team up with one of the cities
detectives, Leonard Kolchak, to investigate claims by city workers of being
terrorized by a sea serpent. The clues lead them to explore the ancient storm
sewers below the streets of Manhattan where they make a horrifying discovery
and realize they have only a short time to stop the cataclysmic destruction of
the entire city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tale features the Moon Man character who was the Robin Hood of the 1930s and
the alter ego of Detective Stephen Thatcher. Assisted by his sidekick, Ned
"Angel" Dargan, an ex-prizefighter they steal from the rich and
distribute the loot to the city's destitute during the Great Depression. In the
mind of Lieutenant McEwen, Detective Thatcher's boss, a thief is a thief. That
puts the Moon Man high on the most wanted list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mesmerized, during the light of day, Detective Stephen Thatcher works to solve
the mysterious suicides and the major crime spree plaguing the city perpetrated
by good law-abiding citizens while in trancelike state. In the dark of night,
the Moon Man plots to drain crime lord Big Nick Martini's coffer of ill gotten
money. But his plans may be foiled by other forces and lead the Moon Man into a
trap. Will this be McEwen's chance to catch the elusive Moon Man?</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">This book contains two
novelettes: Trumpet Of Triton, featuring Ravenwood, Stepson of Mystery &
Mesmerized, featuring The Moon Man, two original characters created by
Frederick C. Davis for TEN DETECTIVE ACES. In Trumpet of Triton, tablets are
discovered from sunken Atlantis that has the ability of raising the Lost
Continent to the surface once more. The trumpet, a conch shell, is the trigger
that will cause the destruction of great cities or raise Atlantis. Darla
Whitfield comes to Ravenwood for help, but her father, who knows more about the
latest terror, doesn’t want him involved. But it’s up to Ravenwood and
Detective Kocheck to discover the secrets and stop the Atlantiers from once
more raising the island of power.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>In the second story we’re treated to a new Moon Man story. A
German scientist has stolen Hitler’s hypnotic machine and brought it to
America. He attempts to get it to an American agent, but mob boss, Big Nick
Martini has it and is using it for monetary gain, and ridding his political
opponents by making them commit suicide. Detective Stephen Thatcher is
investigating the suicides while The Moon Man goes after Big Nick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>These were fun stories in the old pulp tradition, and the
author captures the characters in delightful new adventures. They come alive
once more to rid the world of insidious crime while maintaining the dignity of
the old. Highly recommended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
