Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Competitive sailboat racing team John Sebren, 16, and his 14 year old sister Jessie set out to sail a 41-foot ketch owned by their father's charter company from the Dominican Republic to the Virgin Islands. The teens are smart and highly competitive, and in planning their adventure, they anticipate every eventuality except one -- piracy. A disgruntled former charter company employee learns of their plans and recruits two thugs to assist in kidnapping the kids. Knowing the sailboat cannot outdistance the power boat in pursuit, John and Jessie pull every trick to outsmart them, even sailing directly into a vicious storm in the middle of the night, only to be caught after all. Though unarmed, the teens are not what the pirates expect. In the words on one of them, "These ain't no ordinary kids." This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What's the worse case scenario of global warming: A two hundred feet increase in sea level, killing billions of people and seventy percent of ocean life? The collapse of government and the decline of civilization into warring tribes and clans? The Second Flood is a story of just such possibilities. In 2016, the Antarctic Ice Cap slides into the ocean, caused by a combination of global warming and a shifting of continental tectonic plates. Prior to the catastrophe, two brilliant engineers, Jerry Miller and Hal Jernigan, built Hebron, a high-tech, self-sufficient village on the Tennessee River. When a shrimp boat racing ahead of the rising waters from the Gulf of Mexico reaches Hebron, they see a way to reach Chicago, the country's new capital, with a survival plan for the nation. Members of Congress are overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem, and the government is in chaos. Worse, President Woodrow Wolfe has fallen under the influence of a televangelist who convinces him Armageddon is at hand. In his confusion, Wolfe views the masses streaming into Chicago seeking aid as the enemy. Miller and Jernigan find themselves in an explosive confrontation, with America's future dependent on the outcome. This item is printed on demand.

With his newly acquired wealth secure in the stock market, David vacations at a sailing school in the Virgin Islands owned by Billy Sebren, the bank's wealthy CEO. Liking the lifestyle and learning the training yacht is for sale, David robs another branch of the same bank in order to purchase the boat. Why use my money? he thinks. When the Sebrens figure out who robbed the bank and used the money to buy their boat, Billy and wife Katie fly to the Virgin Islands, intent on finding David and recovering their property and the bank's money. For Billy Sebren, the hunt is now personal. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A collection of short stories makes sense for a writer who grew up in Natchez, Mississippi, the oldest town on the Mississippi River and a setting rife with history and wild stories. Throw in several years living aboard a sailboat participating in island tiki bar tales lubricated by rounds of rum punch, and the idea for Ramblings was born. This collection is eclectic in that the essay subjects range from war to religion and the short stories from the serious to the absurd. As a product of the deep South, where the ultimate compliment is to be referred to as 'a good ole boy', my stories represent the attitudes, the humor and the experiences of one so blessed.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When conservative psychologist Jackson Rhodes and his unlikely friend, flamboyant attorney Nat Arrington, fly to Fort Lauderdale to sail Nat's new sailboat to Pensacola, they anticipate fair winds and following seas--an adventure to regale the cocktail crowd with at the yacht club back home.With radically different personalities, their friendship was forged when they married beautiful women who were lifelong friends. Milly Rhodes tolerates Nat because of her friendship with his wife, Carol. Her dislike for Nat stems from his inherent chauvinism, his condescension toward Carol, and his inability to keep his hands to himself, traits Jackson had failed to observe. A wild night ashore in Key West presents Jackson the side of Nat he had avoided recognizing and an introduction to the hundred mile rule: "What happens a hundred miles from home stays a hundred miles from home."Both wives expect their husbands to hug Florida's west coast, dropping the anchor every night in protected coves--the conservative approach. Jackson, with no prior sailing experience, expects this as well but, after several days of smooth seas and light winds, yields to Nat's argument that a rhumb line course straight across the Gulf of Mexico will not put them in harm's way. At midnight the second day out, an unexpected and severe cold front moves across the Gulf, pushing a powerful squall on its leading edge. Seventy knot gusts and towering seas slam the forty-two foot boat, terrorizing the inexperienced sailors. Struggling to secure a dangling anchor, Nat is flung overboard when a bolt of lightning strikes the mast, leaving Jackson to deal with the raging seas alone.Fear is a dynamic motivator. Faced with extreme conditions, Jackson's physical capabilities are tested, and he confronts psychological issues he has never encountered personally or professionally. In the worst of times, even the best of men stumble. Can one's secrets be forgiven sans confession? This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The third time I stepped over Everett's body to get to the copy machine, it occurred to me that what I was feeling might be stress." With this opening sentence, Tew sends his readers on an adventure with a couple facing burnout that provides a belly laugh a page. Gavin Bryant, award winning copy writer and account executive for a large advertising agency, acts on his dream of moving to an uninhabited tropical island to escape the pressures of corporate life. He takes with him Linda Arrington, head of marketing for his largest client, forbidden fruit as long as they worked together. A tiki hut home, their own beach and a boat to get to the nearest large island for provisions and other necessities are all the two need until family members come visiting, as well as live-aboard cruisers and customers of a nearby sailboat charter company. The book moves rapidly through a series of humorous vignettes involving Gavin's troublesome mother-in-law, her second daughter, pot-smoking Rastafarian carpenters, erotic Haitian dancers and a cosmopolitan assortment of visiting boaters, all of whom create both work and tension for Gavin and Linda. Paradise becomes crowded pretty quickly, and Gavin is left to wonder where he misplaced Eden. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Phil Koontz, a university arts professor, is confronted with the quest of truth and wisdom when an encounter with a deer at night forces his car into a ditch. His wife goes through the windshield and is left in a state of profound unconsciousness. Months later, Phil learns his mother is dealing with his father's early stages of dementia. As a positive gesture, his daughter introduces him to Sophie, a lady Methodist minister who for several years has moderated a series of discussions on great contemporary issues. Missing the lively talks and debate he used to have with his wife, Phil signs up for the seminar, which includes speakers and group discussion on the primary issues of conservative politics: abortion, gay marriage, global economics, plus climate change, war, poverty, fundamental religious beliefs and the decline of culture in modern civilization. The make-up of the group is varied, and the subject matter assures provocative and sometimes heated discussions. The reader, like the workshop participants, is guaranteed a new perspective on issues of interest to him or her. This item is printed on demand.
