In 1934 Hermann Goering was flying high as the Nazis came to power. Knowing Hitler’s radical plans were a gamble, he smuggled a nest egg of three tons of gold to America, embedded in hydroelectric pipe destined for a project in the Pacific Northwest. When the Third Reich fell in 1945, the Russians seized Goering’s papers and put them in storage, where they remained until a former KGB officer rediscovered them during a routine audit in 2001. In that same year, America’s finest assassin, Jerry Dearborn, was lost when a Cuban MiG jet shot down his jet over the Caribbean. A dead Jerry became a convenient scapegoat for U.S. embarrassment over a botched assassination on the Yucatan Peninsula. What the government’s covert assassination squad—the Foreign Intervention Coordination Office (FICO)—didn’t know was that Jerry was not on that jet. Now in hiding, and encamped near the same hydro project where Goering’s pipes were installed, Jerry is involuntarily drawn into a struggle between forces seeking the lost gold. If FICO learns he still lives, Jerry’s days will be numbered. Stan Morse is a lawyer, author, keynote speaker and motivational presenter for kids, living in Washington State. The inspiration for Goering’s Gold came from his discovery in 1976 of swastikas cast into pipes at a local hydroelectric plant. The novel’s cover was created from an actual photograph of one such pipe. This story, unlike the photo, is pure fiction. Maybe . . .

One in twenty million persons is born with a body whose T-cells and immune systems never fail. These members of the “Order” live for hundreds of years, each possessing a special skill (warrior, mathematics, animal communication, charm, etc.) Until now, no child has ever inherited a parent’s longevity or ability.   A roll of the genetic dice has made Nina, a thirteen-year-old orphan, the ultimate prize in human evolution. As the daughter of a deceased Order member, she too is a member, and thus represents the next level of human evolution.   Competing factions of the Order will now struggle to control her destiny. On one side is Clarissa, the second, long forgotten daughter of Julius Caesar, who hopes to groom Nina as the messenger for revealing the Order to mainstream humanity. Opposing her is the Order’s ruling council, which wants their privileged existence to remain a secret.   As strange things begin to happen, and hints of her future abilities begin to emerge, Nina begins to suspect she is very different.
