Book Description
Between the French Indochina war of the fifties and the fall of Phnom Penn and Saigon in 1975, 134 photographers from different nations were killed. Horst Faas, two-times Pullitzer Prize winner and Chief Photographer for The Associated Press in Saigon at the height of the war, and Tim Page, another veteran who had been badly wounded, have gathered many thousands of photos from the Western agencies and from archives in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. These have now been assembled to form both a monument to the dead and a record of the most terrifying war photography ever taken. Never again will the media have the kind of access to the war zone that was offered to the photographers in Vietnam. In many cases the photographers tried to get as close as possible, then paid the price.

Book Description
After a remarkable and impressive career in the army Jack Spencer was given a dishonourable discharge, taking the blame for his colonel's blunder. He discovers that there is no place for him in civilian life and, in despair, he begins to look for jobs he considers beneath him. Finally he takes a job as chauffeur and odd job man to a young Brigadier Ashford, who he later discovers is an arms dealer. He makes the most of the job and is soon training troops in South America, as well as selling weapons for a revolution. Jack is convinced it is all quite legal and is sent to Africa, only to find himself mixed up in a violent and bloody uprising involving Ashford himself. Narrowly escaping a firing squad he returns to South America to sort out what was left after the rapid but successful revolution. He is appointed Head of Security for the new President but soon discovers that both the old exiled president and a mining tycoon have designs to seize the running of the country. Jack's task is to prevent them.

Book Description
From the underground lair of the Paranormal Princess comes this action-packed, fast-paced roller coaster ride of love, lust, and betrayal in a series readers are calling “not just another vampire book; this isn’t your normal paranormal.” "They're killing us off one by one - a full blown extermination. And they call us the monsters." Hopeless, pointless. Those were the words on the lips of everyone still left standing in our small, supernatural community. The vampire Stealth had barely escaped with his immortal life after the Shield of Humanity attacked his home, a home which now lay in ruins on the outskirts of Shadow Cove. The lycan clans were being picked off one-by-one by the hate-filled faction, the few remaining remnants scattered to the winds. Entire species and families had been eradicated – a full blown extermination carried out for no other reason than they were feared by the humans. Their lives were being cut short, but those in peril would no longer stand idly by and watch as their families were destroyed. They would unit, fight until the bitter end, all declaring in one voice – they are no different than the humans, and they have the right to exist – to live. This is a tale which drags the darkness into the light, lays bare the shadows lurking inside the hearts of mankind, a tale which can only end one way – with bloodshed. Battle lines have been drawn, but the war has just begun. In a distinctive mashup between the worlds of Twilight, Anita Blake, and the Vampire Chronicles, the Before the Sun Rises series is a fast-paced, action-packed urban science fantasy which transports fans of the paranormal into a world fraught with conflict. Find out why readers are saying "this isn't your normal paranormal" ...
