It is the year 2037 and Stan Rhodes is the American captain of Endurance III, a V-shaped spacecraft on the last leg of a 56-million-kilometer journey to Mars. It’s crucial to the success of the Mars mission that Rhodes and his crew land their ship within ten kilometers of an emergency ascent vehicle and a cargo ship that had previously landed on the surface of the Red Planet. They succeed in landing at the designated site. But when they reach the cargo ship
Ruthless people abduct Linda Moreland in broad daylight. After interrogating her they conclude that they have the wrong person. When releasing her they inform her that they have her son and they compel her to steal classified information from an aeronautical defense installation in Washington, D.C. Acting as Evelyn Werner, the original target her kidnappers had mistaken her for, Linda must compete against spies in a world of espionage.
Thunder and Fury: Whitson's Raiders spans the early life of Jesse Whitson on through the Civil War, a South Carolinian who felt reluctant to fight for Southern independence. When Southerners turned to seceding and forming the Confederate States of America, he tried to reason with people so they’d relent. He did not want to see the nation divided, and yet a meeting with a prominent figure of the time inspired him to come to terms with an inner struggle for leading a partisan command.
Following the War Between the States, Jesse Whitson contended with an inner struggle for being unable to find peace within himself. Soul-searching while being deeply troubled, like many looking to start a new life and pursuing a dream, he joined a cattle drive and journeyed westward. In his travels, he became a drover and, later, joined a wagon train moving west. In Colorado, on the open range, he discovered farmers who’d acquired land through the Homestead Act.

In the year 2042, Captain Stan Rhodes returns to planet Mars with a fresh crew and resumes exploring a region called the Cydonia Complex. Investigating architectural wonders from an ancient civilization, they revisit a magnificent five-sided pyramid discovered on the first mission and survey its subterranean passageways. When searching for the ruins of a city called Gaugamar forever buried in the sand, the team is asked by mission planners to penetrate the outer shell of another monument. This leads to them breaching a burial shrine from an older kingdom built for a monarch named Nemnasu. Within the funerary chamber of this monument, they encounter an extraordinary life force, and a text explains how this entity, comprised of a mass of energy, came to be interned in the tomb. The mission is further threatened when one of the team contracts an ancient disease. Coping with horrifically monstrous changes in this individual's physiology causes this crewmember to become mentally deranged, and in this altered state, this person is soon no longer recognized as human, but is seen as something entirely different. Come and join this crew of five as they make new discoveries while struggling to survive on the red planet. This book is the second in a series by David Gatesbury and is preceded by Walking on Mars: A Journey to the Red Planet. Click here to check out the first book in this series!
A biographical history of the Romans who conquered and dominated Britain, based on the latest archaeological evidence and original source material. Here are the stories of the people who built and ruled Roman Britain, from the eagle-bearer who leaped off Caesar’s ship into the waves at Walmer in 55BC to the last cavalry units to withdraw from the island under their dragon standards in the early fifth century AD. Through the lives of its generals and governors, this book explores the narrative of Britannia as an integral and often troublesome part of Rome’s empire, a hard-won province whose mineral wealth and agricultural prosperity made it crucial to the stability of the West. But Britannia did not exist in a vacuum, and the authors set it in an international context to give a vivid account of the pressures and events that had a profound impact on its people and its history. The authors discuss the lives and actions of the Roman occupiers against the backdrop of an evolving landscape, where Iron Age shrines were replaced by marble temples and industrial-scale factories and granaries sprang up across the countryside.
