"You're expendable. A young journalist making his way up the
ladder. You're not a public figure like some of them. Not yet
anyway." Recovering from the horrors of war and the Great
Depression, Britain clings to dreams of peace as Europe slides
towards Fascist dictatorship. Amidst a web of half-hidden
alliances, where rumour and reality interweave, Roger Martin begins
his career in Fleet Street journalism. As he is drawn deeper into
the murky world of international politics, he quickly realises that
discovering the truth is only half of the challenge ...This
compelling story follows an idealistic young journalist from his
first steps along Fleet Street to the dark and dangerous heart of
1930s Nazi Germany as he uncovers the secrets kept from us by the
British Government.
As throngs of humanity pack Rome's St. Peter's Square, all await
the news from the Sistine Chapel as to who will be the next Pope.
But no one is more anxious than Iraqi American Sami Yusuf, for he
and one of the papal candidates share a well-kept secret. When it
is finally announced that Cardinal Paul Rogan has been elected
Pope, Sami knows the one thing about Father Rogan that no one in
the crowd does-he is a humble shepherd who molests his unsuspecting
sheep.
Many years earlier, while Sami was a Jesuit school student in
Baghdad, he was molested by Father Rogan. Deathly afraid of
revealing the abuse for fear of losing his family's honor, Sami
eventually emigrated to the United States and joined the Air Force.
Meanwhile, Father Rogan slowly moved up in the Catholic
Hierarchy-while quietly ruining one young boy's life after another.
Now amid sectarian mayhem and the occupation of Iraq, Sami must
visit his ailing dad in Baghdad. But first he must fulfill his most
important life's mission-to cleanse the honor that Father Rogan
stripped from his family.
In this compelling tale that spans three continents, a vendetta
drives an Iraqi American pilot into international dram that
culminates with unexpected ramifications that change everything
forever.

"Toes of Apollo" is an exciting nautical adventure dramatizing
the best and the worst about the U.S. Coast Guard. It's the "Caine
Mutiny" on steroids Lt. (jg) Tom Stierwell, a twenty-two year old
office falls in love with the beautiful daughter of Captain Kearse,
an out-of-control commanding officer on the Coast Guard's
"Albatrosss," a unique mystery ship operating in the Eastern
Mediterranean, six-thousand miles from the USA. The location is on
land and ashore in tumultuous Greece where the Colossus of Rhodes
once stood, where religion and greed are a deadly reality on an
island of Muslim minarets and the rebuilt castle of Christian
crusaders.
In this story I have disclosed some of the dark machinations in the
Fuhrer's mind when he unleashed the dogs of war in bloody cruelties
without conscience. I have tried to reveal uniquely German
predispositions or mindsets, if you will, that caused Germans to
accept Hitler's leadership. For it was they, the German people, the
Volkish Bevolkerung who believed, and it was true, that the
Versailles Treaty imposed merciless reparations upon the German
people that affected them in complex ways-to annihilate their
nationhood, their sovereign compacity forever to make wat. Yet
while it virtually destroyed the Kaiserreich of Post WWI and,
tructh to tell, said many times, set the stage for Hitler's
popularity. The rise of national Socialism, the Nazi Party and WWII
the Treaty shoes how mistaken and despotic revenge can be.
Christian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Col. Von Stauffenberg did not
want to destroy the German people. They schemed to kill the
diabolical fiend Adolph Hitler.
