Henry Brown

Ike Jaeger blazes through his senior year surrounded with opportunities. With two Bowl championships under his belt, he's earned the interest of a professional football team. The US involvement in Vietnam is escalating, opening up a commission and even fighter pilot slots. His talent for engineering is earning him respect among the scientists on Planet Valhalla and elsewhere. There's no shortage of beautiful wife material, either. He can't quite get over the JFK assassination, though. The official narrative is ludicrous, and he won't accept it. Finding the truth behind the murder plot draws him down a rabbit hole that leads him through a whirlwind tour of history that exposes it as just one part of an international conspiracy that might turn out to be timeless. In Provoking Fate, the Paradox series becomes a roller coaster ride fraught with epiphany, danger, and personal tragedy, flinging Ike toward a secret war that transcends multiple realities and the dimensions in between.

TABLE OF CONTENTSPrefaceNarrativeCure for the Evil of Slavery (by Charles Stearns)FootnotesNot for the purpose of administering to a prurient desire to "hear and see some new thing," nor to gratify any inclination on the part of the hero of the following story to be honored by man, is this simple and touching narrative of the perils of a seeker after the "boon of liberty," introduced to the public eye; but that the people of this country may be made acquainted with the horrid sufferings endured by one as, in a portable prison, shut out from the light of heaven, and nearly deprived of its balmy air, he pursued his fearful journey directly through the heart of a country making its boasts of liberty and freedom to all, and that thereby a chord of human sympathy may be touched in the hearts of those who listen to his plaintive tale, which may be the means of furthering the spread of those principles, which under God, shall yet prove "mighty to the pulling down of the strong-holds" of slavery.

After enduring more than 30 years of slavery, Henry Box Brown achieved freedom by having himself nailed inside a packing crate and shipped from Richmond to Philadelphia. Initially published in 1851, Brown's extraordinary memoir recounts the harsh circumstances of his bondage as well as the details of his 350-mile journey by railroad, steamboat, and horse cart inside a container three feet long and two feet wide. Acclaimed by Dr. Cornel West as one of the great creative acts in the struggle for black freedom, the story of Brown's daring escape continues to resonate as a reflection of the ongoing struggles of oppressed people around the world.

"Henry Brown has crafted an action-packed romp that is both enjoyable and terrifying." - R. A. Mathis - Author of the Homeland series A perfect storm is bearing down on the United States of America, combining nationwide financial devastation, conventional and nuclear terror, and military catastrophe. If you knew someone had the intent and capability to destroy your country, what would you do? Disillusioned veteran-turned-doomsday-prepper Joshua Rennenkampf discovers evidence of what might be a false flag attack in the making. Retired Tier One officer Dwight "Rocco" Cavarra is tipped off about a secret hit list of "potential domestic terrorists," through which he and his friends are targeted. Recently elected Sheriff Tommy Scarred Wolf has already lost his brother for the sin of poking his nose into government Black Ops, and now must decide whether a little more temporary tranquility for his family is worth the shock and awe to be wrought on the entire nation if he fails to take action. With harbingers of civil war and any number of other national cataclysms brewing, there will be no averting disaster if the false flag conspiracy turns out to be true. These men, who have put their lives on the line for their country so many times already, now have little choice but to treat the threat as real. And in the tumultuous political climate, their lives, fortunes and sacred honor will all be at risk. "Great rebirth of Rocco's Retreads. Could stand alone but you don't want to miss the first two. So go back and purchase Hell and Gone (one of the best military thrillers ever written) and then Tier Zero. You won't be disappointed." - Benjamin Drayton "If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams With this speculative dystopian novel, the Retreads Series turns the corner from military thriller to apocalyptic fiction.

When a party of American college girls are sold into slavery by human traffickers, a rescue mission is too dirty, too dangerous, and too difficult for any government to touch. That's where The Retreads come in. The pirates thought they found the perfect target: a private yacht foolishly sailing through the Malacca Straits, which could discretely and easily be sold on the black market. The sex traffickers thought the boat was hauling the perfect cargo: young, attractive women who would generate income in brothels around the region. What made the caper not so perfect was that one of the girls had an uncle who took it personally. Another Amazon Bestseller from Henry Brown..." One helluva adventure writer." ( - Jim Morris, author of War Story, The Devil's Secret Name) You can take a man out of Special Operations, but you can't take SpecOps out of the man. Tommy Scarred Wolf calls on his old friend Rocco Cavarra, who still has contacts in the intelligence business. Other survivors of the Sudan mission also rally behind Tommy, signing on for the kind of favor that can never be repaid. Armed with all the firepower and force multipliers they can scrounge, shadowed by a team of secret assassins, the Retreads ride again. Tier Zero is old-school military adventure you haven't enjoyed since the full-auto glory days of Able Team and Phoenix Force.

This rag-tag gang of has-beens has never worked together before, but Dwight "Rocco" Cavarra has less than a week to train them and lead them on the hairiest operation of their lives. It's not bad enough that they have to plow through an African civil war, infiltrate a fortified terrorist encampment and steal a black market tactical nuke from a mob of fanatic sociopaths - there are Israeli wild cards in play: two death-dealing Mossad agents who don't necessarily share Cavarra's agenda. When the mission is compromised before it has even started, Rocco and his Retreads are caught between bloodthirsty local warlords and the genocidal government in a fight to the death. And this battle might be just the first in the next world war. Hell and Gone is an exciting action and adventure novel, highly recommended. - Midwest Book Review One of my favorite things about this novel was that it portrayed the brutality and tragedy of combat while honoring the struggle of the men who fight. - Amazon Reviews Hell and Gone by Henry Brown is a top-notch military thriller. The author takes great care to create characters that are believable and unique... Great writing creates scenes so well crafted that I felt like I was in a strange land in the middle of the action. ... I am very pleased to recommend this book to anyone that enjoys thrillers. -BookVisions It has it all, it's contemporary, it's well developed, the plot is solid, the weapons and tactics are spot on and the writing style is easy to read and doesn't bog down in to much detail. - Jack Silkstone, author of the PRIMAL Series An action novel that hits you like a brick through a plate glass window. - Jack Badelaire, author of the Commando Series Hell and Gone is a military thriller that delivers the goods on the action, has vivid, realistic characters who interact with great dialogue, and presents some food for thought. If enough people chew on it, maybe the all too plausible scenario presented here will remain fiction, assuming it hasn't happened already. --The New Podler Review of Books Characters carry the story and the plot turns out to be anything but what we expect from "techno-thrillers" or "men's adventure." As a former soldier I was also impressed with the author's attention to detail and general accuracy in regards to weapons and tactics. - Jack Murphy, author of the Deckard Series
