FICTION


Off the Grid
"Upon arriving at the ranch, the Kellers are met with further disappointment when they discover that the 'ranch' is nothing more than an old trailer, situated off the grid. Jake is in his element, with the challenge of solar panels, batteries and generators, but the girls are far from enchanted.
War, religion, world peace, inner peace, dealing with financial stress, and self sufficiency are some of the key topics in this often humorous story."

The following two books are Parts 1 and 2 of a planned trilogy:
The Blast of War: (A Narrative History of the Third World War).
"a cautionary tale: a future history of a terrible war that all of us may be living through someday soon if everything keeps going the way that it has been...features battles on the land, sea, and air - along with nuclear weapons and interminable internecine strife as the world attempts to unwind the mess that we’re all in."
A Land War in Asia (A Narrative History of the Third World War)
more about "just what such a terrible conflict (in Part 1) might entail, as China and the Allies trade mighty blows, Chinese hackers and diplomats seek any small advantage they might gain, and American soldiers, sailors, and airmen are asked to take aged equipment to fight battles in places they never even though they’d see, let alone go to war in.


IranDate - When Iran Went Nuclear And The World Went Ballistic
From the blurb, look-inside, and reviews, this seems to be very intelligently written; it's a thriller written from the Israeli perspective.


THE ALADDIN NETWORK
"...a plot to destroy the commercial and industrial system of the United States...By using sophisticated encryption and communication techniques, they hit our Achilles heel and the devastation begins."


Three Strikes - are you who you think you are?
"Mid twenty-first century Britain, where society has decayed and a single-party state has emerged is the backdrop for his dystopian thriller."


Monarch: Larva (Caterpillar)
Part 2 of series; part 1 was listed here on June 19. "Ginger Reed, a housewife concerned with what may transpire on 12/21/2012, attempts to do research into the end of the Mayan Calendar without her family's knowledge.  She ... wants to keep them safe from not only what might happen, but also her near obsessive behavior.  Ginger begins reading Cipher, a work of fantasy fiction that millions have embraced. (Cipher plays out within the pages of Monarch as a story within a story that runs parallel to Ginger's own experience.)  ... she decides that the reading of Cipher is the most important thing she can do to prepare for a potential apocalypse ... "

The following are two versions of the story with alternate endings.  
Pawns of Darkness
Death Dance of Pawns  (full manuscript version, with alternate ending)
"Published two years before the tragic Oslo massacre, "Pawns of Darkness"/"Death Dance of Pawns" exposes the current resurgence of Fascist ideology as the cornerstone of a New World Order led by its European core, the secretive 'Wahrheit' (the 'Truth')...Will the "Wahrheit" succeed in its Second Cleansing of America on the upcoming 9/11 anniversary?"

How the World Will End & other flash fiction

Going to Meet the Old Ones
"As a retrospective 'post-history' of our own civilization, the hope, despair, and epic battles fought by future races on the Home Planet are captured in this saga as a lesson to all mankind about the legacy that will remain long after we are gone." (sci-fi)

Darwin's Quest: The Search for the Ultimate Survivor
"Abandoned on a harsh, dangerous world, they now face an actual, desperate fight to stay alive. Darwin’s Quest is no longer a reality show, but reality. "  (sci-fi)
