When house-flipping investor Katie Pearson scores an amazing deal on an old Victorian home sight unseen, she not only unleashes its original historic beauty, she also unleashes an unholy and terrifying evil presence. Now Katie, the atheist-now-turned-believer, must destroy the evil or become consumed by it.

M.R. James (1862-1936) was provost of King's College, Cambridge, and Eton College. He was a highly regarded scholar and academic in his time but today is remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered among the finest in the genre. The seven stories in this Volume One are: "A School Story", "Rats", "A Warning to the Curious", "Two Doctors", "The Haunted Doll's House", "Casting the Runes", "There Was a Man Dwelt by a Churchyard".

The theme of this book is the exploration of the theory and practice of dive-bombing, which tactic proved more precise than that of level-flight bombers and more effective than air-launched torpedo attacks against surface ships. It is also the author's purpose to come to a more general conclusion as to the effectiveness of dive-bombing under actual combat conditions. In this regard the words and observations of several dive-bomber aviators have been incorporated.

The prescribing of pharmaceutical medications by licensed physicians is essential to the health of hundreds of millions of medical patients within the nation of the US and worldwide, but like most things that have a completely legitimate basis and an extremely important purpose, prescription issuing can become an imbalanced practice for some medical doctors.

A collection of strange and often grisly tales by some of the world's greatest writers, ranging from mildly unsettling to hair-raising.

Naomi Carmichael (nee) Brooks was a hater. Well, a reformed hater, that is. Destiny, her sister, had been deemed by her church, family, and all creation “the golden child”, so Naomi knows how it feels intimately and repeatedly to have someone steal her thunder. And now that she was about to be a divorced mother of three, struggling to make it on a state job, with an ex that was all about rubbing her nose in it, Naomi wouldn't know what to do if God hadn't given her what her and her bestie called, “the hater's prayer".

In Code Name Halloween 38 we take a hard look at what is known as PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) or Black Propaganda. Thinking outside the box is a quality that Angelique Dawson has in great proportions and it is needed when you want to weaken your enemy from within. I wanted to know how far such operations are effective and thus dove into history to find the answers. This was an interesting book to write, the research that came out made me think hard on PSYOPS, a black art that few master. From my own service years, I knew the basics. I knew that we, as well as the enemy, were subjected...

Code Name Devorah deals with the use of armoured fighting vehicles in unconventional warfare scenarios. During my life, I have spoken to many South African armour officers, a breed apart and to be avoided if possible. They proudly follow something between the Russian and Prussian outlook on war. The Russians see war as a science, a mathematical exercise. The Prussians see war as an art where instinct plays a large role and the commander must have a “feeling” for the battle. The South African Armour officers combined the two doctrines to fit their needs; they see logistics, by God, and ...

In Code Name Lise, we deal with the idea of sinking warships with shore-bound artillery. It can be done and was done before, but you need the ships to be near, at a dangerously close range. They must be ambushed unexpectedly and destroyed, or you will be in deep trouble, as they call in heavy airstrikes or use their long-range weapons to maximum effect. The major problem you may face in this scenario is the air threat. All modern warships are armed with helicopters and South African warships at times have the Denel Rooivalk attack helicopter on them. This helicopter is deadly and feared for...

Back in 1979 something odd happened in the southern sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean. On September 22nd, one of the orbiting US Vela Hotel spy satellites registered a double flash indicating that an atomic bomb had detonated close to the Prince Edward Island Group, 1,176 nautical miles south of Cape Town, belonging to South Africa. The hunt was on for the South African nuclear weapons rumoured to be in existence and being tested there. In March 2010, one of the orbiting South African spy satellites picked up a flash report coming from a Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) line of unknown origin in ...

In Code Name GSSP-40 we look at the troublesome Jesuit/Roman Catholic influence inside the CIA as well as the Hegelian Dialectic played on them and the rest of us. The Hegelian Dialectic comes down to using two total opposites to create enough fear to get people to do what you want them to do in a pre-determined way. This effect gives the spymaster a controlled solution. Angelique describes it much better as “imagine a sheep dog chasing the flock of sheep towards the pen, the dog is all over the place, this side and that side, and so the sheep are herded into the pen. Now, think of the ...

When I wrote Code Name Mel’s Choice, GMJ 25, I was asked by many readers about the character, Sir Dennis, as we call him, a legendary Rhodesian Air Force pilot that turned out to be a Soviet GRU (Russian Military Intelligence) penetration agent. A man that took the identity of a long-deceased RAF pilot and became a legend. After Angelique captured him, he was handed over to MI6 for questioning. It was either that or summary execution. In this book, we deal with Sir Dennis further - his subsequent “defection” from MI6 to DGSE, the French Spy Agency. However, you cannot just leave the ...

“US defense capabilities are and will remain second to none, and now because of the new defense budget of $700 billion our military will be far stronger than ever.” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 2 March 2018.“America has the best equipment anywhere in the world.” Donald J Trump, 13 August 2018.The Reality: “I’ll never forgive Barack Obama for what he did to our United States military by not funding it properly. It was depleted. It was old and tired, and I came in and I had to fix it, and I’m in the process of spending tremendous amounts of money, so I’ll ...

Within the chapters of this audiobook, I address this emotional symptom of an underactive thyroid gland, including descriptions of how it manifests and how hypothyroid patients can deal with it and have it treated successfully to regain an improved quality of life. I will also include medical research study quotes, found on the U.S. National Insitutes of Health medical research information website (PubMed), which allows reprints for public education purposes.
