This book is not a mystery novel. I did not write it in that form, with clues, false leads, red herrings, and a revelatory climax with a twist ending. In form, this book is more of a research procedural. It is not about an unidentified perpetrator who meets a just fate.

The title says it all. The subtitle leaves nothing to the imagination. As the cover text clearly denotes, this book is a history of outright lies, deceptive practices, and gross administrative abuses that have been perpetrated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration throughout its existence. Most of the book focuses on the National Marine Sanctuaries Program, but fraudulent activities in other NOAA agencies are covered as we...

THE ULTIMATE SCHEME TO ERADICATE CHRISTIANITY "We have a big problem. The Islamic Revolutionary Forces have developed a time machine." This is what the director of the CIA told the President of the United States. The IRF was initiating a nefarious plan to use its "temporal displacement apparatus" to go back to the time of the Crucifixion of Christ and nip Christianity in the bud. To ensure the success of their goal, the IRF was taking a ho...

Trails that are more or less traveled. In view of the fact that the borough of Jim Thorpe was named after an Olympic champion, it is fitting that the area is renowned for such physical outdoor activities as hiking, biking, and jogging in the surrounding hinterland (plus snowshoeing and cross-country skiing during the winter months). Hundreds of miles of trails provide access to remote forested mountaintops, yet the casual visitor may be unawar...

Doug Martin is sent back to Mars to obtain information about a startling discovery that the colonists have made: an underground city which is all that remains of an advanced civilization that vanished millions of years ago. As if that discovery were not astonishing enough, he finds that the colonists are harboring a secret which they are reluctant to divulge: a secret whose implications are more profound than the preservation of ancient Martia...

Paddling down the Lehigh River is not only a thrilling whitewater adventure, it is also a scenic tour through backwoods territory on a watercourse whose tree-lined banks have hardly changed since the time of Columbus. Visible signs of civi...

Lonely Conflict is Gary Gentile's gutsy, hard-bitten drama of America clashing with itself. It is not a stereotypic war novel. Although it focuses on Vietnam, it is first and foremost a work of literature, with strong emphasis placed on character development. The story centers on a group of teenagers who are each affected by the war in different ways. The narrative follows Anthony Giovanni: a college student who is drafted between semesters. W...
