College student Meg Talley survives a violent attack, but when she insists her assailant was a hideous, monster-like creature, she is called hysterical. Journalist Douglas Morgan, private eye Nick Grundel, and horror novelist Blake Corbett, however, have each theorized the mangling, incredible though it seems, might be the work of a werewolf.

To Provide and Maintain a Navy, a succinct but encompassing treatise on sea power by Dr. Henry J. "Jerry" Hendrix, goes beyond the numbers to reveal the crucial importance of Mare Liberum (Free Sea) to the development of the Western thought and the rules based order that presently governs the global commons that is the high seas. Proceeding from this philosophical basis, Hendrix explores how a "free sea" gave way to free trade and the central role sea borne commercial trade has played in the overall rise in global living standards. 

For over 30 years, Dr. David Posen has counselled patients suffering from severe stress, anxiety and depression. Over that time, he noticed a pattern.

When his former senior chief, Steve Auger, is brutally assassinated, former Navy SEAL officer Matthew Barrett has a choice to make. He can slide back into an all too familiar pattern of alcohol abuse and depression, or he can shake his demons and hunt down the murderers responsible for his friend’s death.

Medically retired from the SEAL Teams for multiple medical and psychological conditions, he wallows in self-pity, spiraling down until suicide seems the only relief from his anguish. Then a text from a former teammate asking Matt to help find his kidnapped daughter changes everything. Aided by a team of ex-SEALs, ex-fighter pilots, and a former FBI agent, Matt will follow his quest to its end, deep into the ugly world of human trafficking, and perhaps even find a shot at a new life.
