The Battle of Inchcolm Abbey

By: William Clinkenbeard

Davis Lane is a freelance theologian who, in a secular age, doesn't get a lot of work. Until, that is, he receives a mysterious invitation to go to Inchcolm with its ruined medieval abbey in Scotland's Firth of Forth. It's there that Alexander Morton, American property tycoon, is hatching plans to build the world's holiest golf course along with a hotel and casino. An enigmatic lady in trilby and tweed commissions Lane to research the island and its abbey in order to advise the parties affected by this extravagant development. The commission dredges up painful memories of a recent encounter with the CIA. The research is intriguing, drawing Lane into a fascinating maelstrom of history and legend. He discovers that the chill waters of the Forth not only host seabirds and seals, but also the coffin of the man who was supposed to be buried within the abbey. The Augustinian canons of the abbey may have been devoted to peace and love, but they turn out to be anything but meek and mild. Despite misgivings, Lane is impressed by the plans of the tycoon and also by his beautiful daughter. The proposed development, however, sparks off angry demonstrations, resulting in a death threat. Set in the Forth estuary and moving between Edinburgh and Fife, The Battle of Inchcolm Abbey is a work of fiction carefully woven around history and legend. The central character of this theological novel attempts to depict authentic faith and ethics in a secular and morally complex world.

Incident at Devil's Drop

By: William R. Herod

In 1884, a wealthy Montana Cattle Baron watches as a predator of unknown origin starts decimating his herd. However, the killings, while savage in nature don’t correspond with any known assailant. When the clandestine entity raises the ante by targeting and killing ranch hands, the ranch owner can no longer stand by idly. Three men with diametrically different dispositions are destined by fate to join forces to track down, capture or kill the rampaging killer. Included amongst the intrepid threesome are Marshal Sam McCord, who is heading the expedition, a brave but flawed individual plagued by past demons. Bauman, a taciturn trapper, and social outcast who inadvertently sets the wheels in motion. The final member of the trio and its most well-known participant is a young Theodore Roosevelt, the future 26th president of the United States. The search for the perpetrator takes the three men on an arduous and perilous pilgrimage. They eventually arrive at the designed destination only to find Bauman’s base camp destroyed. Quickly, they ascertain that the perpetrator initially believed to be an animal may be something else entirely. It’s watching, evaluating, but worst of all, it appears to be toying with them. Showing remarkable restraint, the bloodthirsty menace seems content coordinating a lethal game of a cat and mouse. It isn’t long before Roosevelt and his compadres find themselves the hunted. Can they kill the fiend responsible, or will they succumb to the same fate as the cattle? Incident at Devil’s Drop details a gripping alternative historical account related by Theodore Roosevelt. It’s a rousing tale of bravery and sacrifice in its depiction of a bizarre and lethal encounter inside the Bitterroot Mountains.

O Is for Oval, Oswald and Osama

By: William Clinkenbeard

Davis Lane is a freelance theologian who listens to Country and Western music and likes single malt whisky. But there's not much call for his line of work in a secular world, until he is invited to an interview with a company that exports kilts, pipes and tartan to America. When he agrees to accept an assignment to review a book written by a Scottish preacher and diligently read by the President of the United States, it seems like a good thing. But things take a twist when Lane learns that he seems to be involved in a covert operation run by the CIA. What makes it worse is that other mysterious parties are seriously interested in what he is going to find in the book. As he labors to interpret the book and keep one step ahead of those who are determined to appropriate his insights one way or another, he finds himself in an ever-more confusing maze. Set in Edinburgh and Fife, O is for Oval, Oswald and Osama is a work of fiction wound carefully around actuality. The central character of this political-theological novel finds that "Truth in the twenty-first century was like an onion. You peeled off one layer after another, trying to get for the solid core of truth. Finally, the onion was gone, and there was nothing left.

Admiral William A. Moffett

Architect of Naval Aviation

Admiral William A. Moffett

Architect of Naval Aviation

By: William F Trimble

Naval aviation historian William F. Trimble provides a clear and detailed portrait of the man who took on the challenge of forming an aeronautical bureau within the U.S. Navy in 1921 and then nurtured the early development of naval aviation. Describing Admiral William A. Moffett as one of the first high-ranking naval officers to appreciate the importance of the airplane and the effect it would have on the fleet, the author contends that the admiral's strong background as a surface officer gave him a credibility and trust with his superiors that others could not match. The author attributes Moffett's desire to keep aviation as part of the fleet, along with his diplomacy, tenacity, and political and military savvy, to the success of the infant air arm during its formative years. In striking contrast to the tactics of Army Gen. Billy Mitchell, Moffett's handling of the loyalty issue and other politically sensitive topics saved the Navy's air arm, according to Trimble. The book is equally candid about the admiral's shortcomings, including his heavy-handed support for airships, a technological dead end that squandered millions and led to Moffett's death in 1933 when he went down with the airship Akron during a storm.

But now he’s been hired to guard the most hated man in Texas—one with a $10,000 bounty on his head. The crime was the brutal murder of a young school teacher.

Law of Torts

By: Bryan M E McMahon,William Binchy

This is the eagerly awaited new edition of Law of Torts, the complete Irish tort law reference book. For this, the contents have been extensively revised since the last edition was published in 2000. Key developments are detailed and relevant recent case law is examined. This book is essential for both legal practitioners and people studying Irish law. Recent important legislation examined in the book includes: Criminal Law (Defence and the Dwelling) Act 2011, Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011, Defamation Act 2009, Consumer Protection Act 2007, Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004 and Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003. Key developments and case law are examined in areas such as pure economic loss, limitations and purchase of financial products, vicarious liability for sexual assaults, damages, privacy, defamation, psychiatric injury, liability of public authorities, employers' liability, professional negligence, defective buildings and products and occupiers' liability. First published in 1980, Law of Torts has long been a cornerstone work in Irish law, indeed in the foreword to the first edition Judge Brian Walshe noted that the book represented a challenge to the 'unquestioned assumption that English text-books would satisfy all needs.' This new addition will only add to the book's long-established merit and value.

Bloody Trail of the Mountain Man

By: William W. Johnstone,J.A. Johnstone

Johnstone Country. Mountain Man Justice. If there’s one thing Smoke Jensen hates, it’s a man who fights dirty. And no one fights dirtier than a politician. Especially a lying, cheating, no-good grifter like Senator Rex Underhill. Luckily, with another election coming up, this senatorial snake in the grass has some serious competition: Smoke’s old friend, Sheriff Monte Carson. Carson’s an honest man, and he’s got Smoke’s full support. But Underhill’s got support, too: a squad of hired guns ready to hit the campaign trail—and stain it red with blood . . . Swapping bullets for ballots, Underhill’s henchman make it all too clear that Sheriff Carson is not just a candidate on the rise, he’s a target on the run. But with Smoke’s grassroots support—and lightning-fast trigger—he manages to stay alive in the race. That is, until Carson’s righteous campaign takes a near-fatal turn when the Senator Underhill tricks his opponents, traps them in a mine, and literally buries the sheriff’s political ambitions. When the going gets tough, Smoke gets even. When this game turns deadly, it’s winner kills all . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
