Jake Simms has it all. He flies airplanes and helicopters, is a Deacon at his church and teaches Sunday school. He has two wonderful kids in college and a loving wife whose job is getting downsized. With no job the bills are piling up. But wait! They need pilots for a government contractor somewhere in the Middle East, can't say where exatl, security reasons. Turns out its a little farther out, off world to be exact. Jake is going to a world that 30 centuries ago the inhabitants not only managed to destroy each other but sterilze the planet. Humans aren't the only ones to go to war over religious differences. And the aliens want us to work with another species. So Jake, meet your new copilot, a six-foot tall intelligent ant named Fred. All of the weapons from the war are not supposed to work anymore. But one still does and the only thing worse than it leaving Virago 4 is its arrival on Earth. Jake's boss worries about alien invasions. Jake is just trying to not get killed today.

The Ebih

By: JW Luff

Jake Simms has convinced his wife to join him on Virago 4. All she has to do is get used to their new friends. Did he mention they were giant ants? You'll be fine honey; they're really sweet once you get to know them. Meanwhile Jake has to take a science team to a remote valley to check on some strange readings. Did they mention the team consists of a couple of teenagers? One is so annoying that Jake wants to kill him before they leave. And the other one is a member of the royal family? And he has a new plane to fly. He's flown one of these before. In fact the last one was on fire when he got out of it. It was assigned to him by his new boss. Maybe this one won't try and kill him like his old one did. The last time he was on this dead world he found out what caused it to be that way; now he'll find out why. Because the source of those strange readings at the remote location holds a terrible secret; the only thing worse than finding it, is waking it up.

The Alal: Book III of the Virago 4 Series

By: JW Luff

When Jake first arrived on Virago 4, he found a world that had been destroyed by war 30 centuries ago. Before his first tour ended he'd discovered what had caused the planet's destruction. On his next trip he discovered the terrible truth of why it had happened. And now he and the rest of the inhabitants of this world are going to find out who caused it all. A creature known by the ancient people of Earth as the Destroyer; it has no problem wiping out an entire planetary population for profit. And now just as it was about to collect on an endeavor that has spanned thousands of years, its property along with the profit was stolen. It knows who is to blame; the human Jake Simms, and it's time to deal with these creatures once and for all. But first it will do a little recruiting on the humans' home world. It has discovered someone from Jake's past. They shouldn't be too hard to convince. Besides revenge is such an excellent motivator.

THE NOAH REMNANT

By: JW Luff

For thousands of years Christians have prayed to the God of Creation to: "USE THEM IN A MIGHTY WAY." Dereck Becker is one of those Christians and the young pilot has learned a valuable lesson today: Be careful what you volunteer for. Dereck and his wife Nicole along with 278 other believers, have just been drafted into God's army. The group has awakened onboard a starship that after being sent through an artificially created wormhole is now 80 lightyears from Earth. The alien reactor that was used for the transition is out of fuel so going back is not an option. God only knows why this remnant of the human race was chosen for this journey. For now survival is their top priority. They are approaching what they think is an uninhabited planet. And not only that, they've discovered Nicole is expecting. This unborn child will grow up to carry the fate of two societies on her fragile shoulders. www.amazon.com/author/jwluff

The Aero- and Hydromechanics of Keel Yachts

By: J.W. Slooff

How and why does sail boat performance depend on the configuration and trim of boat and sails? This book provides the yachtsman with answers in a relatively straightforward account of the physical mechanisms of sailing. It presents an accessible overview of the fluid dynamic aspects of sailing and sailing technology, addressing both aeromechanics and hydromechanics. Readers are provided with the basic principles of physics and general mechanics that will assist their understanding of the fluid mechanics of sailing yachts. Rich appendices cover not only in-depth,mathematical-physical treatments and derivations for those wishing to explore further, but also helpful summaries of basic mathematical notions for those wishing to refresh their knowledge. This work explores keel yachts, specifically single-masted mono-hulls with ‘fore-and-aft’, Bermuda-rigged sails. However, much of it is applicable to other types of sailing vessels such as multi-hulls, yachts with multiple masts, windsurf boards and the like. Yachtsmen, yacht designers and professionals of sailing technology will all find something of interest in this work which provides explanations of the mechanics of sailing in a way that is scientifically justified, whilst remaining appealing to those wishing to use their knowledge on-board a sailing vessel. For some years I’m teaching a course on “Sailing Yacht Design” in the master class of yacht design. Actually, I’ve found your book the best one about physics of a sailing yacht I’ve ever read. Edward Canepa, assistant professor in Fluid Machinery at the University of Genova (Italy) ...very impressed, no wonder it took so long. It is “everything I ever wanted to know about sailing but was afraid to ask” ! Frank Woodward, former computational fluid dynamicist at the Boeing Company and Analytical Methods Inc., and a cruising yachtsman

Restless

"time for sail"

By: J.W. Paisley

Restless: “Time for Sail” By: J.W. Paisley In 1896, a young boy, Thomas Paisley, leaves his English farm at age fifteen for an adventurous, albeit dangerous, life at sea. He gives up his inheritance as the oldest son to follow his dream, as his restless nature dictated, defying the advice of his older and more experienced parents. Through his adventures he befriends another boy from a far different background, but their friendship blooms through shared hardship and often deadly experiences. The “ever-changing sameness” of the sea reflects the ever-changing sameness of life. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

THE NOAH WARRIORS

By: JW Luff

Twenty years ago, Earth was invaded by an alien race. Its once great cities have been reduced to ruins. Those that didn't die in the initial battles are rounded up for slave labor. A reptilian race known as the Draki, are led by a powerful being that considers itself a god. The most violent place on the planet is the area formally known as the United States. America was the last to fall. Some say the U.S. is gone forever. But deep underground, a nation is rebuilding itself. New weapons, new tactics. The aliens suspect the humans are planning an uprising. But that's not the least of their problems. Five years before the invasion, God removed a remnant of the human race. That remnant is coming home, and they're bringing some friends along with them. And they have a score to settle too.
