FICTION
Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship
Sweet Song
”An archetypal American story of self-discovery, set against the turmoil of post – Civil War America, Sweet Song tells the story of the mixed race son of a white landowner and a black house servant. Leon, raised black but an outcast from both cultures, finds himself suddenly on his own — and passing for white. Wrestling with a divided heritage in a world where honesty, even with friends, might prove fatal, he falls in with dispossessed thieves, mill workers, saloonkeepers, musicians, businessmen, thugs, freedom loving idealists and malevolent racists — a vivid panorama from America’s past. This tender, raw, provocative novel speaks from the heart about where we’ve come from and who we are.”
Life and Death at Hoover Dam
Hope in Hungnam

The stories in the book are all based on true life and death incidents experienced by the author during his time on the beat.”

500 Parts Per Million

Inspector Norse - The Yuletide Murders
Seems well-written. Crime and humour. “Pitching dark humour against the dark forces of Scandinavian crime, Inspector Norse follows a different path to those noble crime fighters, Wallander, Blomkvist and Lund. They get dark and sadistic killings, he faces a killer who murders his victim using the chair testing machine at the local IKEA furniture store. As the world, and his colleagues, seem to conspire against him, Norse is plagued with phone calls; some from the killer threatening his life, and some from his mother, reminding him to wash his hands after attending to the dead bodies...“

The Man Who Counted Infinity and Other Short Stories from Science, History and Philosophy
”Albert Einstein once said: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” This is the guiding spirit of the books in this series of “Short stories from science, history and philosophy”. The objective here is to explain science in a simple, attractive and fun form that is open to all. …The aim of the writings collected in this series is to present some key scientific events, ideas and personalities in the form of short stories that are easy and fun to read. Scientific and philosophical concepts are explained in a way that anyone may under-stand. Each story may be read separately, but at the same time they all band together to form a wide-ranging introduction to the history of science and areas of contemporary scientific research, as well as some of the recurring problems science has encountered in history and the philosophical dilemmas it raises today.”
