Book Description
When small town reporter Adelaide Larkin is assigned to cover the worst hurricane to strike Virginia’s coastline in history, she discovers more than one storm brewing. Political intrigue follows the aftermath of Hurricane Jewel as an unscrupulous developer finagles the business deal of the millennium. Adelaide gets on the trail of miscreant elected officials pandering to political payoffs rather than rescuing hurricane victims. As she delves deeper she becomes entangled in other dangerous dealings: searching for hidden art treasures stolen by Nazi soldiers in occupied Greece. When she finds the link between the WWII mystery and the hurricane disaster, she must flee for her life. She reaches the Pindos Mountains in Northwestern Greece, territory controlled by a Greek mobster, a man whom Adelaide learns has been orchestrating much of what’s happened to her. Is he demon or angel? As she discovers the answer, she loses her heart in a love story that’s a dangerous but thrilling ride to the truth.

Book Description
The untold and full story of German warships and auxiliary cruisers in the Pacific Ocean during the First World WarCombines the views of the British, German, French and Canadian commanders for the first timeLavishly illustrated with many unpublished images: of interest to the military historian and modeller alike As the world plunged into war in August 1914, two German fleets and several cruisers lay beyond the North Sea, posing a serious threat to British merchant vessels and naval superiority. Beyond the British blockade, there was little chance of reinforcements and resupply of ammunition. Admiral Souchon crossed the Mediterranean with a superior French and British fleet in pursuit. Vice-Admiral von Spee had to decide what to do half a world away from Germany with colonies and friendly shipping rapidly being overtaken by Allied forces. With only the ammunition onboard his vessels, he had to fight his way through British lines to get his men home. Karl von Müller led the Emden on a daring campaign of commerce raiding as did the commander of the Karlsruhe. Other cruisers also carried out warfare, seriously affecting Allied merchant shipping. However, the Royal Navy spent precious resources to remove these threats and Admiral Craddock swept down the coast of North America chasing phantoms only to find what he was looking for was at Coronel and the Falklands Islands.
