Book excerpt: "Casemate has a long history of publishing high quality military history non-fiction. Lately, they have expanded their range of work to include well written novels using wartime settings." – WWII History MagazineThe engaging story of a young American naval officer undertaking his first command, in the middle of World War II. Having survived the sinking of his first ship, Ensign Ash Miller USNR is promoted and assigned to command one of the sleek new additions to “the splinter fleet,” a 110-foot wooden submarine chaser armed with only understrength guns and depth charges. His task is to bring the ship swiftly into commission, weld his untried crew into an efficient fighting unit, and take his vessel to sea in order to protect the defenseless Allied merchant vessels which are being maliciously and increasingly sunk by German U-Boats, often within sight of the coast. Ash rises to the deadly challenge he faces, brings his crew of three officers and 27 men to peak performance, and meets the threats he faces with understated courage and determination, rescuing stricken seamen, destroying Nazi mines, fighting U-Boats, and developing both the tactical sense and command authority that will be the foundation upon which America's citizen sailors eventually win the war. During rare breaks in operations, Ash cherishes a developing relationship with the spirited Claire Morris who embodies the peaceful ideal for which he has been fighting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lethality in Combat shines a blazing light on the three most controversial aspects of military combat: the necessity of killing; the taking, or not, of prisoners; and the targeting of civilians. This book argues that when a nation-state sends its soldiers to fight, the state must accept the full implications of this, uncomfortable as they may be. Drawing on seven conflicts - the Boer War, World Wars I and II, and the wars in Korea, Vietnam, the Falklands and Iraq - the author considers these ethical issues.

John Worsham and Sam Quatro are summoned to an Amazon rainforest in Brazil to determine if a new, deadly infectious disease has killed all the workers at a site that is being cleared for construction. They find, instead, that the men are not dead, but are changed into shells of men without cognitive ability. They find DNA from a South China Sea puffer fish together with previously undescribed man-made neurotoxins. This leads them on an adventure to Africa where they learn the truth. A war is being waged between those wishing to protect and the perpetrators of the holocaust that is destroying the environment for profit. Sam and John themselves become converts and supporters of the "zombie conspirators". The story skillfully weaves together scientific and secular descriptions, novel militant action ideas to save the environment, ideas about power and greed and the possible future of the planet earth. Vivid descriptions of the fate of poached gorillas, chimpanzees, monkeys and other dwellers of the rainforest brings home the magnitude and the inhumanity of the environmental criminals that are plundering the world's rainforests today. This is a must read book for all who are interested in saving the environment.
