Independence Day
Summary
Same date; six different years, the Time Patrol must save our timeline from the Shadow by preserving our past. On the fourth of July, 362 BC, is the Battle of Mantinea in Greece, in which Sparta is defeated by Thebes in a Pyrrhic victory, leading to a third party uniting Greece: Philip II, father of a man who would change history: Alexander The Great. But what if Sparta wins the battle? The fourth of July, 1776, is one of the most important dates in American history, but there is also the fourth of July exactly 50 years later, in 1826, when two of the architects of that document and the country, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, die within hours of each other. What secrets do they hold close on their deathbeds? And who else might know about them? At Gettysburg, the Confederacy reaches its high water mark with Picketts charge on the third of July, 1863. But on the fourth, both armies stare at each other on a rainy day, waiting for the other to make a move. What if the Union attacks? In the same war, on the same day, in a victory that is over-shadowed by Gettysburg in terms of publicity, but of more value strategically, Grant takes Vicksburg on the fourth of July, 1863. But what if he fails? All of these events, and others on the same day, are being attacked by the Shadow. It is up to the Time Patrol to send an agent back to six different years on the fourth of July and make sure our timeline remains intact. If they fail, our present will snap out of existence!

Valentines Day
Summary
"The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart." (President Franklin D. Roosevelt) Six Time Patrol agents are sent to the same day, February 14, in six different years to keep our history and our time line from being destroyed. Chicago, 1929 - gunmen massacre seven people in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre. 1945 - President Roosevelt, heading home from the Yalta Conference, stops on the Great Bitter Lake to meet King Idn Saud of Saudi Arabia to discuss a relatively new topic: Arab oil. 1779 - Captain Cook, famed explorer of the Pacific, meets his fate in Hawaii. 278 - Saint Valentine is beheaded near the Milvian Bridge. 1945 - the Dresden Firebombing. Kurt Vonnegut is in a slaughterhouse as the first bombers appear overheard. 1946 - the ENIAC computer, programmed by six women, is unveiled to the public. The press thinks the women are simply models. The mission, as always for the Time Patrol, seems straightforward: keep history intact, no matter the cost. But this time things go very differently than in previous missions, and one of the team members must make the ultimate sacrifice.

Book 3 in the Nightstalkers series. Ever since the first Rift opened in Area 51 in 1947, exposing the world to deadly beings of pure energy, only the Nightstalkers have stood between humanity and complete annihilation.

Section Eight (Shadow Warriors)
Summary
Section 8: The men and women called upon by The Organization to do the impossible. They are the soldiers with nothing to lose, making up a top-secret unit tasked with what others call suicide missions. Long before the United States existed, The Organization pulled strings...Dating back to the destruction of the Knights Templar, possibly even further in history. Captain Jim Vaughn is an officer in disgrace. Commanding a Special Forces mission to rescue hostages in the Philippines, Vaughn's team is destroyed, and when the smoke clears, he becomes the scapegoat. Forced into the shadows by the scandal, Vaughn is offered a chance to redeem himself when he is approached by an enigmatic government agent working for The Organization. Vaughn is shocked to meet his new teammates, a group outside of the regular chain of command. These are soldiers who have used up all their second chances - the men and women who have crossed the line one too many times. Drug users. Felons. The terminally ill. And now, these are the soldiers that Vaughn must trust with his life. Even with a traitor in their ranks. But is the traitor actually the patriot? This group of misfits has been assembled for two reasons - they are skilled and they are expendable. They are needed to attempt the missions that the government can't acknowledge, the country can't condone. The team cannot fail. But the deeper Vaughn gets into the group, the more he realizes that The Organization may be concealing more than the just rap sheets of its most unusual operators. A team of such unique properties is the perfect tool to use against America's enemies...and possibly America itself.

Atlantis: Devil's Sea
Summary
By New York Times best-selling author Bob Mayer, writing as Robert Doherty (author of the best-selling Area 51 series) What if the Shadow that destroyed Atlantis 10,000 years ago, comes back to threaten our present world? A war beyond time. An enemy beyond space. A thriller beyond your wildest dreams.... Three areas on the Earth's surface defy explanation: the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil's Sea of Japan, and a small region of Cambodia. Inside these realms, planes have disappeared, ships have vanished, and, in Cambodia, an entire civilization has been lost, leaving behind Angkor Wat. In 1628 BC, a volcano erupts, one that would become legend as the eruption that destroyed Minoan Civilization. But a small group of priestesses stand fast against the dark Shadow that precipitated the destruction. In AD 79, the oracle of Delphi must join forces with the most fearsome gladiator from the arena of Pompeii to fight the Shadow that destroys Vesuvius. And the XV Legion is sent on a quest that causes it to disappear from the Roman Empire and into the fog of history. In 1937, Amelia Earhart is on the most dangerous leg of her 'round-the-world flight, near the Devil's Sea. A dark Shadow rises in front of her and swallows her and her plane, never to be seen again. Until the present, when Eric Dane leads his team against the Shadow threatening our present world and unites with her. In 1986, the Shadow appears inside of Chernobyl, sucking power from the reactors and causing disaster. And in the present, a Ring of Fire around the planet ignites, threatening the entire world. Former Green Beret Eric Dane and the mysterious Sin Fen, a woman with powers he can't quite understand, must track the mystical crystal skulls that have baffled scientists, to use them as a weapon against the Shadow, and unite with the gladiator and oracle to make a last stand for mankind.

Country
Summary
This is audiobook III in the Duty, Honor, Country Trilogy. They swore oaths, both personal and professional. They were fighting for country, for a way of life and for family. Classmates carried more than rifles and sabers into battle. They had friendships, memories, children and wives. They had innocence lost, promises broken and glory found. Duty, Honor, Country is history told both epic and personal so we can understand what happened, but more importantly feel the heart-wrenching clash of duty, honor, country and loyalty. And realize that sometimes, the people who changed history weren't recorded by it. In the vein of HBO's Rome miniseries, two fictional characters, Rumble and Cord are standing at many of the major crossroads of our history. We start with Mark Twain in Confederate grey, waiting for a Colonel of the Illinois militia, U.S. Grant in Florida, Missouri. From West Point, to Washington DC, through First Bull Run, the Monitor battling the Merrimac, to Grant's initial successes at Forts Henry and Donelson. We end on the precipice of failure as Grant's army is routed on the first day of the battle of Shiloh and sit in the rain, under an oak treat, contemplating retreat.

Area 51: Interstellar
Summary
Many millennia ago, humans, including us, were seeded on 15 worlds by an alien race, the Airlia. We believe we evolved, but the reality is we were bred as cannon fodder for the Airlia’s interstellar war against the Swarm, a viral race whose only mission appears to be the obliteration of sentient life wherever encountered. On some worlds humans realized the truth about their origins, uncovered their hidden alien overlords, and rebelled. On one world they succeeded, but in the process destroyed their planet. They sent teams to the other worlds to foment uprisings. Our Earth is one. Earth15 is also one of those worlds. One of those teams, Bren and her mate Markus, have been leading the revolution on Earth15 off and on for thousands of years, slowly eroding the power of the Airlia who rule as gods. But today she encounters Arcturus, a man who claims the impossible: he was on the planet before the Airlia. If this blasphemy is true, what other truths need to be uncovered about the history and origin of mankind and our place among the stars? Who are we?

The victim is the grandson of the most powerful woman in Charleston, South Carolina, who has sworn vengeance.

Barely into their investigation they become caught up in a land development deal for Daufuskie Island worth hundreds of millions.

And in the shadows hovers The Cellar, the agency that polices the world of covert operations. One by one, the competitors of the land deal are being killed and the threat to Chase's son grows. And nothing, not the present, not the past, and no one, are as they appear to be. Who will be left standing?

The Kennedy Endeavor
Summary
Book 2 in the ntionally best-selling Presidential Series by West Point graduate, former Green Beret and New York Times best-selling Author Bob Mayer. What is the Sword of Damocles that President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev developed in secret during the dark days of the Cuban Missile Crisis? For 13 days in October 1963 the world came the closest to nuclear armageddon. On 22 November 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated. On the 25th of November, as Kennedy’s body lay in state at the Rotunda in Washington, Anastas Mikyoan, Khrushchev’s top adviser, presented the Premier’s condolences to Jacqueline Kennedy. She took Mikoyan’s hand in both hers and told him: "I am sure that Chairman Khrushchev and my husband could have been successful in the search for peace, and they were really striving for that. Now the Chairman must continue the agreed upon endeavor and bring it to completion." On 12 October 1964, a Washington socialite named Mary Meyer was shot in the back of the head and through the heart at point-blank range. She had been married to a high-ranking CIA agent.

Where are the other three? Paul Ducharme and Evie Tolliver unveil a fail-safe type scenario brokered by President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev and race against time before the archaic Sword of Damocles initiates World War III.
