Dare any mortal enter the dystopian world of modern children? Since Dickensian times, no author has conceived so damning a commentary, concerning contemporary childcare. Domicile is a place one must reside by enforced law. This book is based entirely upon known fact. Written through the eyes of a young girl who endured years of horrific abuse, Domicile exposes a British care system hell-bent on destroying normal, loving families. Or is there another, more sinister motivation? Family Court must balance social worker claims of 'possible, future emotional abuse', against the foreknown emotion abuse of a child being taken into Care. The book asks if in law, there should be Degrees of Rape. It proposes the level of intent of both parties be taken into consideration, and that anonymity for both be the norm until conviction. But what sets this book apart, is that it follows the money trail, something police and press failed to do. Those in positions of deepest trust, and a Duty of Care, sold themselves out for money running into tens of millions of pounds. It is but a small step to conclude British judges and barristers, Social Services, Police, and Local Authority, are also an integral part of this travesty of justice. The Muslims in Rotherham were also making Millions of pounds p.a. in untaxed, used notes. The figures are in the public domain, but nobody bothered to do the maths. This book does. What if--one of these girls was your own daughter, legally abducted: 10-years old, and already an unpaid Muslim sex slave? Domicile In modern British Family Courts, 'the needs of the child' are irrelevant. Profits from sales of this book will go to charities supporting similarly abused children
When a top undercover agent working in Syria on Friday, turns up dead in Norfolk on Monday, Dan Glover of MI6 is sent to investigate. He discovers ISIL are landing passenger jets at an unregistered British airfield. Their cargo includes militia, weapons, and civilians: 2,000 illegal immigrants per day. Then he discovers four more airfields. Making discovery after discovery, Dan concludes ISIL are planning to turn England into a caliphate. A small team from MI6, and local police assists Dan. The local station officer, Inspector Felicity Wigglesworth becomes his staunchest supporter. They become lovers, but can their relationship withstand the rigorous call of duty? Their romance seems destined to fail, as Muslims take over towns and villages, altering the ethnic, but not the political make-up of councils. Once in majority, should they cross the floor, war with ISIL on British soil becomes inevitable. Interspersed with romantic interludes, Islamic State: England, details how religious fanatics could take over England, and Europe. The plot twists and turns, as greater discoveries are made. Those in positions of power refuse to take pre-emptive action, by which time it is too late. With SCUD missiles headed for central London, can Dan muster the resources to fight back against the tyranny of ISIL? One irony of this book is that aspects of it are already coming true in real life.

Written in the author's typically charming and self-effacing style, this book offers readers a fascinating insight into Japan and Japanese life at the eve of its fateful entry into the Second World War.

Applied Electronics employs user-friendly text and a non-mathematical approach to develop the reader's ability and understanding of the principles of analogue and digital electronics. Beginning with the semiconductor devices themselves, it progresses through amplifiers and power supplies to combinational and sequential logic.
If God exists, does he care about his evolving, suffering world? Most answers are unsatisfactory. Morris's book is different: short but not superficial, strong in its science and philosophy, and realistic as a carer of a handicapped teenage grandson, still unable to walk and talk. Like Stephen Hawking and Einstein, John Morris also tries to explore the mind of God. Violence began with the Big Bang, long before legendary Adam's sin. Morris believes God is typically non-interventionist but constantly interactive, operating creatively within his own physical laws, that allow freedom to particles and people, resulting in innovations and mutations, not always beneficial. Compared with other religions, Christ's cross and resurrection give more historic hope in a God who suffers alongside us, to create good, responsible persons. Here is a 100-minute read, of interest to believers and atheists alike. Its brave conclusion gives reasonable grounds for thinking we live in a loving God's best possible world, despite unavoidable suffering and natural disasters.
Imagine, the world Jack was born into, no longer exists. Faced with the utter destruction of all life on Earth, can our heroes survive? The Great Ogre continues to wage war with all the other Tribes, confounding chances of survival, when the primordial forces of Mother Earth are unleashed upon a mainly unsuspecting human nature. In a ripping yarn, The Wrath of Gaia depicts a vision of the end of the world, completely original, entirely believable, and based in geological evidence. Amid fast-paced, spicy action, survivors struggle with their daily existence, displaying humour, and they are also led to question their deepest beliefs: Are religions innately misogynistic? What of the balance between Man the hunter, and Woman the creator of life? What greater evil, was evoked in the concept of 'original sin'? What is the nature of God-a deity, or was humanity created by an Alien race that came to Earth millions of years ago? That hypothesis, as presented in this book, is difficult to refute. Humanity has no common antecedent with the Great Apes. Did a race of star faring Ancestors create the missing link-create us? What is the elusive kernel of 'original truth' when it comes to our shared Humanity? What ties us together might also wrench us apart. Once we know where we came from, Once we know who we are, How will we discover where we are ultimately going: Star Gazer, Second Trilogy...
The Twelve Tribes, continues the compelling story of Jack's life. The beginning introduces several new characters, most notably Kay, The Dark Elf. She and Jack discover much about the Ancestors, their spacecraft, and the history of all humanity. We learn the Ancestors created the Twelve Tribes of humanity in their own image, by cloning and manipulating their own DNA, and that of existing proto-human, homo habilis, and creating their first prototype, homo ergaster. The Shaman, an enlightened being, becomes more closely interwoven within the plot, as The Elven Prophesy indicates all Twelve Tribes must be reunited to save humanity from The Wrath of Gaia. The problem being, The Great Ogre, despotic Overlord of the Tenth Tribe, is determined to subjugate or exterminate all sentient life on planet Earth, and a series of battles ensues.
Follow Jason Andrews, Number 12, the Occupant Information Recorder. His job is simple: He keeps tabs on everyone else and makes sure they're doing their jobs. With a request, he is also put in charge of controlling the emotions of everyone. Stuck in a Fallout Shelter with no one but his brother and 68 other people, he must learn to follow orders from the demanding HOPE program. In this test of morals, trust, and survival, does Jason have what it takes to live on? Or will he fail, and simply become another number to fall?

Conspiracy Theory, Book Two of the Fractured series, is a mystery and espionage thriller that continues the story of April Bekkons and Annaliese Braun; damaged, but not broken by events no young girl should have knowledge of. They raise themselves to do what is necessary to save themselves, others, and eventually their country, from destruction. The book picks up directly from the last line of Inner Sanctum, and introduces Michael. From the apparent ramblings of this crazy man, the plot coalesces to bring in the Sheriff's department and FBI, who with support of the Secret Service, set up a task force to track the threat nationwide. They discover a terrorist plot to destroy the American system of government, and have to prevent the immanent launch of undetectable, nuclear missiles. The science described in the story is real and documented within the context of the novel. Using a series of bizarre localized disasters, real military science, and a nefarious cabal that links them together, the plot weaves a tale of conspiracy theory made real. It just might come true. The book features strong female lead in the form of April, who when all appears lost, allows nothing and no one to stand in her way. Using Kung Fu skills, computer hacking, and wisdom beyond her years, she is determined to save the day. The book is set in contemporary San Diego, and is written in American English.
Who are you in your heart? Who will you become? Who will travel with you as your boon companion? Shona Waverly is a fugitive from her mother's plans to sell her as a child sex slave. Searching for her own Inner Sanctum, she creates a family. Rosa becomes the mother of her heart, who teaches her the skills she needs to survive. Annaliese, a fellow seeker, is the sister who will fight at her side. Teves is their guardian. Through a change of identity, participation in the ROTC program, and the backlash of revenge, Shona and Annaliese have an opportunity to evaluate their roots and come to terms with the parents who should have guided them. Inner Sanctum offers hope, help, and a model for those who struggle to raise themselves. Through confidential sharing, the girls form a formidable team, fighting against past and present injustices. Death, revenge, and remorse are just some of the milestones they encounter. When Shona, now known as April, realizes that for her life to move on, she must confront her mother, Annaliese has words of advice. "April, you don't need a gun to go see your mother." "Hmmm. Maybe I do." It is refreshing to read a book where the two main characters are strong female role models, and the main topic of conversation is not which boy they like. Although products of adversity, they never back down from any challenge, but rise to overcome everything the brutality life throws at them. It is notable that the supporting male characters never once take precedence; this remains the story of two adolescent girls from front to back cover. Although categorized as Young Adult, Urban Fiction, the strength of the book, will appeal to a wide range of readers, both male and female. The book flows seamlessly into Conspiracy Theory, the second book of the Fractured series. Book Two is a fast-paced mystery and espionage thriller, again featuring April and Annaliese as the main characters.
