The Greatest Generation : The 40’s, American in Decline 70 Years Later
By Michael Kost
This is a look at history that covers an exciting period from 1940 to 2000. These seventy years was a mystery novel, in theory. _ ere were so many different plots and interchangeable events, without a clear solution of an outcome or ending. History will not flow like a romantic novel. Each of my chapters will have an independent flow of facts and opinions of its own. Each chapter will be venturing separately into different time zones. History will present itself according to different perceptions of different times by one’s point of view. It’s like a pair of dice: 4 + 2 = 6, 5 + I = 6, and 3 + 3 = 6. They all have the same results; but it depends on your perception. What was more of a milestone, the election of the first black American president or the election of the first Catholic president in 1960? You cannot rewrite history; you can only inject parts of the past into present times. One thing you cannot guarantee is that the past will repeat itself or affect the future. I have instituted separate sections called creative sidelines. They will be independent of any chapters. They are brief passages of events that had a profound effect on history. A collection of facts, they will challenge individual readers to seek additional knowledge about these events. Revisiting the past, what knowledge or perception could a person have that was born in 1960, 1970, or 1980 of the Manhattan Project of the 1940s, the U-2 Incident of the 1950s, the Cuban Missile Crisis during the 1960s, Soul Train, Watergate, or in the 1990s, the Hanging Chad? Creative sidelines respond to time and events. Look at a spot on a mirror and only a few inches away it is not visible. Step back a few feet, that spot becomes clear and visible. _ is book gives you the opportunity to step back, examine, or challenge the facts or opinions of the past or present time.

The Green Vial
The Green Vial, the crackling new techno-thriller from Nicholas Orsini, is about a dedicated and highly professional government scientist who gets drawn into a terrorist plot. It all starts with a deadly earthquake in the Iranian desert. Dr. Roger Rogers, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey, and his attractive graduate assistant, Teresa Marchetti, team up to lead an on-site investigation to gather scientific data from the region for their research studies. In Iran, the two meet their Iranian counterparts and Bjorn Arnarson, a Norwegian science attaché. All goes well until they are forced to make an emergency landing in a restricted biological-weapons development area and are taken into custody. While in confinement, a disillusioned member of an underground faction tells Rogers about the plot and attempt to extort millions of dollars from the U.S. government under threat of dumping anthrax bacterium into the water supplies of several major cities. With literally millions of lives at stake, Dr. Rogers finds himself confronting unimaginable challenges. What follows a dramatic escape via the Afghani border, a detour to Norway (where additional threads in the case are unraveled), and, ultimately, the involvement of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the U.S. President himself reveals Orsini as a master of suspense a worthy and welcome heir to the tradition that includes Patricia Highsmith, Graham Greene, and John le Carre.

The Healing
By Marc Hardage
“The author captures the raw emotional journeys of the Crockett family and their closest friends, the Willinghams. They all desperately beckon normalcy to return in the wake of tragedy, the death of Navy SEAL, Travis Crockett. The author has a keen ability of helping the readers feel as if they are physically a part of the story. Written in such a clever, rhythmic cadence, most readers will not be able to put this book down until the last page has been read.”
– Clarissa Douthit, The US Review of Books
RECOMMENDED by the US Review
The Healing follows the events of a weekend as Navy Chaplain, Charles Willingham and his wife Teresa renew their old friendship with the Crockett family. The Chaplain had the reluctant task a year earlier of telling the family about the tragic death of their oldest son Travis while he was on a mission in Afghanistan with his Navy SEAL platoon. The unexpected appearance of Clay Lucas, the platoon leader of the SEAL team that Travis was a part of, leads to many memories of everyone’s relationship with Travis and each other and how the family is coping with their loss.
