It began with a power outage. A power outage that went beyond lights and televisions. Clocks stopped telling time. Cell phones no longer received signals. Cars became dead relics that wouldn't start. As the world around them becomes darker, so do the inhabitants of the small town of Westmont, Illinois. A mysterious and evil presence has taken a hold over the village, making the once peaceful town a place of violence and despair. A small group of individuals, untouched by this presence, must uncover the mystery of why they remain normal and discover what (or who) is taking control of their town, one soul at a time. Because the Man in the Dark Coat is out there. Hunting them. And not everyone can remain untouched forever.

This is a story of Damian Garcia, and the international drug trade in opium and hashish, by PhD graduate students in New York City, circa 1972. It is about love, friendship, family, loyalty, and an extremely discreet and very lucrative international drug smuggling business plan, with the financial returns totaling in the many millions of dollars. The business plan was a new combination of opium and hashish product, the family branded as O/H. The targeted demographics were graduate students, nurses, doctors, accountants and attorneys. O/H became the professionals’ drug of choice worldwide. O/H grew to become the largest and most profitable international drug smuggling enterprise unknown to all but a few. Those that knew would never tell; that was the family code. The book is through the eyes of Damian Garcia, looking back in another day, when life was more trusting, the social and political climates were more interconnected, and personal relationships truly mattered.

Jerry's Story

SCHRADER, ROBERT W.

239 souls are on board MH370, a red-eye flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 
238 expect to arrive safely. 
1 soul knows that no one will. 
In MH370 Airliner Down!, authors Zicard and Holling skillfully use the known facts surrounding the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH370, the greatest modern day airline mystery in aviation history, and create an epic espionage thriller with four countries involved. The fiction story places American secret weaponry in the aircraft's cargo bin. Jack Walker (CIA) and commercial pilot Addison Stark (Aussie agent & love interest) are teamed together to retrieve the weapon system. After a relentless chase through Southeast Asia, intelligence operatives, crewmembers, and passengers come together onboard, trying to control the final destination of the flight. MH370 vanishes into the night. No Mayday or pilot cries for help. No radar pings or satellite pictures. Will a suicidal crewmember have his way, or that a terrorist will hijack world attention for his cause, or that a manipulating operative executes a hostile takeover for his own gain? 
Weeks later, with passenger victims' families left behind to grieve, hardcore investigative reporter Noah Jacobs, discovers and exposes the truth of the Boeing 777 mystery disappearance, with its massive government embarrassments and subsequent international coverups. 
A true airline disaster, MH370's ill-fated events are uniquely dramatized-- managed plausibly with nail-biting suspense-- giving kudos to the insider authenticity and skill of the authors. This page-turning aviation novel gives new meaning to "inspired by true events" and will thrill both aviation aficionados and avid mystery-thriller readers alike.
