A brutal attack. A crippled interstellar gate. And now I’m trapped far from home. There were only three of us piloting the Essta Museum. But it should have been easy—a simple ceremony remembering the corporate wars. Instead, Selrick Maysfer attacked us, his powerful second-rate battleship sweeping in with all guns blazing. We barely reached the jump gate alive. And when we came out, we weren’t in Civilization. Now my friends and I are stranded in an unknown six-gate ring with the vengeful war criminal, and all I have to protect us is my military training and the relics aboard this retired ship. So we’re in a desperate race to make new allies and find a way back home. Our only hope is to do it before Maysfer catches us first. Six episodes. Six complete stories. One action-packed novel. If you’re a fan of futuristic tech, big space or ground battles, and relatable characters committed to doing the right thing, you’ll love Christopher C. Dimond’s latest space opera! Get it now.

Open Conflict continues from the previous Timelines story of David Mark as he shakes off the memories of an Earth gone immorally mad and searches for a better reality. His twin sister, Darla, is introduced to an unknown relative, Jenni. Together, they continue to follow David's alien space travels whenever they visit the Logos Station library. After the deciphering of the DTRIS file is complete, the alien implant is encased in a time capsule and buried on a distant planet. Through the DTRIS file story, you'll learn how events of Earth's past, present, and future connect to planned evil influence. An influence that persuades mortals to forsake their true heritage, and follow the path of least resistance. The same road that shortens mortal life and allows for the sacrifice of children to materialism or government abuse. There is a revelation concerning the actions of the Orzan, the Sangar, the Gulizors, VorCaveat, and other corrupted species. You'll also discover that time stands still during space travel through dark matter portals. The DTRIS File: Open Conflict is the second book in a compelling new science fiction saga. It continues the story of the happenings in the universe while Earth is going through a third world war. And if nothing else, you'll want to buy a talking cat from Dank Somber if you need a helpful companion.

It is Sunday, June 20, 1756, in Calcutta. Fort William has been overtaken, and most of its occupants have fled or been killed. Only 145 denizens remain, and nothing could prepare them for the horrors that await them in the Black Hole, a minuscule military prison in which they will be crammed for the night. Only twenty-two will survive, emerging from the mass of dead bodies in the stifling Calcutta dawn. During this dark episode in British–Indian relations, one resolute and enigmatic man rose to the forefront of the struggle and toiled to save as many lives as possible. Stephen Goss makes this man, John Zephaniah Holwell, come alive in a dynamic novelization of his exploits. Holwell was a doctor, a scientist, a military surgeon, a mayor, a magistrate, and a governor, as well as a devoted husband and father. The Other Side of Morning imagines Holwell’s beginnings in his British homeland and his quest for adventure as a young man. In this scintillating portrayal of his life and work, we follow him as he studies smallpox, becomes a proponent of cutting-edge medical methods, falls in love, travels to India as a surgeon for the East India Company, and plays a complex and pivotal role in Indian-British relations in the first half of the eighteenth century. This is a story of personal triumph and tragedy, political nuance, and the power of one man’s indomitable will. The Other Side of Morning is an immersive journey into pre-colonial India. In an illuminative blend of history and fiction, Goss transports readers to eighteenth-century Calcutta.

An award-winning, personal account of US amphibious operations in WWII by a veteran Coast Guardsman—illustrated with photographs and drawings. During World War II, Ken Wiley was a Coast Guardsman on an attack transport in the Pacific. In this work of historical memoir, Wiley relates the complex and often nerve-wracking story of how the United States projected its power across six thousand miles of ocean. Each invasion was a swirl of moving parts, from frogmen to fire support, transport mother ships to attack transports. In this vivid account, Wiley “brings the reader close to the experiences of another band of brothers,” from the camaraderie of young men facing unimaginable circumstances to the last terrifying stage when courageous soldiers stormed the beaches (Military Illustrated). Wiley participated in the campaigns for the Marshall Islands, the Marianas, the Philippines, and Okinawa. He recounts each with a precise eye for detail, relating numerous aspects of landing craft operations, such as ferrying wounded, that are often overlooked. Winner of the 2008 Foundation for Coast Guard History Book Award.
