On a medical rescue mission to Djibouti, North Africa, Dr. Jake
Matthews, TJ, a supply officer, and Charlie, a master chief who
"fixes" things for the government, encounter a plot to use Blue
Death as a bio-weapon. Kelly, the resident CIA station chief, sends
them on a daring mission to save a local terrorist who has the
answers. Back home on Guam, Jake discovers women are becoming
pregnant at an alarming rate-and all pregnancies are abnormal.
Somebody thinks it's related to blue globes Jake found while scuba
diving on a local reef. That somebody is after the globes, and is
killing everyone involved. What is it about Blue Death and the blue
globes Jake discovered that is damaging pregnancies? What is in the
water that is wreaking all the havoc? What does the government
knows and isn't revealing? From Djibouti, to Guam, to Cozumel, Jake
searches for answers. Loosely based on adventures aboard the USS
Carl Vinson and while stationed on Guam, the author brings to the
reader the possibility and plausibility of using the natural human
reproductive system as a bio-threat to mankind.

Barbary Freight is a World War II mystery novel.
The use of the chassis dynamometer test cells has been an integral
part of the vehicle development and validation process for several
decades, focusing on the delivery of clean, efficient vehicles
globally. This type of testing involves specialists from different
fields such as mechanics, ventilation and refrigeration, among
others. Not all of them necessarily experts in automotive
engineering. As the demands on chassis dynamometer testing become
more exacting and more diverse, the challenge of delivering
effective installations and operating procedures becomes ever
greater. Chassis Dynamometer Testing sets out to gather knowledge
from multiple groups of specialists to better understand the
testing challenges associated with the vehicle chassis dynamometer
test cells, and enable informed design and use of these facilities.
Chassis Dynamometer Testing analyses the main factors affecting a
vehicle in order to closely reproduce them in a testing facility.
It provides complete guidance on how these tests should be
performed, including the requirements affecting the test cells
themselves so that they can be fully optimized.
