Book excerpt: Ensign Jon Zachery, US Navy, does not fit in with his fellow officers aboard destroyer USS Manfred. Some call him useless, a mammary gland on a male pig. On the first day in the combat zone in the Tonkin Gulf, Manfred is attacked by North Vietnamese PT boats, and Ensign Zachery meets the nation's enemy face-to-face, with a .45 holstered to his side. Back home in San Diego, one month into a seven-or eight, or maybe nine-month deployment, Teresa's life revolves around their three-month-old daughter and her daily letter to Jon, and his to her. She realizes she is married to the US Navy every bit as much as she is married to Jon.

Book excerpt: In March 1968, Navy Lieutenant Jon Zachery has just received orders to report to his new duty station in Meridian, Mississippi, for basic jet pilot training. But after he and his wife, Teresa, arrive in what they are initially told is a friendly little town, they soon learn what it means to live in a sundown town. When Jon and Teresa attend Mass on their first Sunday in Meridian and enter a pew occupied by a young colored woman sitting-in the all-white church, the Zacherys unwittingly step into the middle of a KKK campaign created to discourage civil rights sympathizers. As Jon works his way through six months of flight training with an antagonistic flight instructor, the Klansmen escalate their focus on the Zacherys, soon transforming their threats into violent acts. Near the end of Jons tour of duty, tensions escalate further, culminating in a confrontation with deadly consequences. In this compelling story, a young lieutenants faith, patriotism, morality, and love for his family is tested as he bravely battles the evil that lurks within the shadows of Meridian, Mississippi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell continues his JAG in Space series as a young Legal Officer seeks justice as others try to corrupt it. Newly commissioned Lieutenant Junior Grade Paul Sinclair is acclimating himself both to his duties aboard USS Michaelson and to his growing relationship with fellow sailor Jen Shen. Both situations require serious consideration. But when a fiery explosion rips through the Forward Engineering section, Sinclair doesn’t think, he acts—leading his people into the fire. And though he and his people survive, others do not. The brass want answers. Unfortunately, Paul suspects the blame for the disaster lands on a fast-rising officer whose incompetence is covered up by high-ranking connections. Worse still, Shen’s fiercely protective father—a captain of his own ship—exonerates the accused in the initial investigation. Now, Sinclair must walk a razor’s edge between seeing justice done and watching his entire life go down in flames. “Absorbing and credible...Outstanding suspense, realism, and characterization...First-rate military SF.”—Booklist “A rock-solid courtroom drama...[Campbell] builds the story's suspense expertly...This one will keep you turning the pages with the proverbial bated breath.”—SF Reviews

Book excerpt: In John G. Hemry's terrific military science fiction series, a young officer risks everything in his fight for justice . . . Lieutenant Junior Grade Paul Sinclair must adjust to his new position on the warship USS Michaelson--juggling his Legal Officer responsibilities and his personal life, as his relationship with girlfriend Jen Shen intensifies. When an explosion takes out most of Forward Engineering, Sinclair leads the effort to extinguish the fire. He's practically a hero. But when Captain Shen, Jen’s father, is brought in to conduct an investigation, it seems that he’s gunning for his daughter’s suitor. Soon Sinclair uncovers evidence that points to a cover-up—involving a rising star in the officer corps. His evidence is circumstantial, and the suspect is the son of a powerful vice admiral. Sinclair is determined to see justice done, but is he willing to risk his name, his career, and his future among the stars?
