  • Vicious Circle

    Douglas Clark

    eBook (Endeavour Media, April 25, 2019)
    Masters and Green are called upon once more to save the local police from potential scandal.When old Mrs Carlow dies of, seemingly, a self-administered overdose of her prescribed medicine, digitalis, local officials are most awkwardly placed. The tangle of family intermarrying in the small county town of Croxley is such that Mrs Carlow’s doctor, her solicitor, the coroner and the police chief are all related to her—and of course to each other. And thus the Yard is called in, and our old friends Chief Superintendent Masters and Chief Inspector Green are soon having to tread delicately in an enquiry in which several of their important witnesses and colleagues are possible suspects.Yet it still seems highly likely that the self-willed, arrogant old woman had unintentionally caused her own death. It wouldn’t be the first time that she had planned a faked attempt at suicide, to distress her relatives. But if so, how could she have obtained the overdose, now that her doctor was meticulously rationing her medicine? And if not, how had the overdose been administered? Douglas Clark was born in Lincolnshire, 1919. He wrote over 20 crime novels and under other names, including James Ditton and Peter Hosier.
  • The Resistance

    Douglas Bond

    Paperback (Inkblots Press, Nov. 19, 2018)
    Lt. Eli Evans, B-17 bomber pilot, is shot down over enemy-occupied France in 1944. Surrounded by Resistance fighters, a licensed-to-kill SOE British agent, and Marxist sympathizers, Evans and his navigator must evade a ruthless Nazi manhunt if they are to survive. Resistance sympathizer Aime hates war but is forced to act with courage, risking her life for others. Engaged in ambush and sabotage, the combatants will debate broadcast talks by C. S. Lewis, heard as they listen to the BBC for coded messages from London. Full Review True to form, Douglas Bond delivers yet another historical novel sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of both the young and the old. Readers will thrill at the high-stakes, fast-paced cat and mouse game that ensues among downed Army Air Corps pilot Eli Evans, navigator Charlie Tucker, and the Waffen SS. The timing of events and diversity among the characters kept the tension hovering at or above an 8 on a 0-10 scale. From the moment the B-17 crashes, until the invasion of Normandy; time (and pages) seemed to fly by. I've read a number of books recounting the events leading up to D-Day, but this one provided a unique perspective. The cast of American aircrew, French Resistance, Communist sympathizers, along with the SOE operative, lent to a wide range of viewpoints on politics, religion, and the best plan of action for the team. One of the reasons that navigator Charlie “Chuckles” Tucker was my favorite character is because he could be counted on to break the tension of any given circumstance. Chock-full of historical facts, this novel will make another wonderful addition to our homeschool library. Not only this, but our son has already read War in the Wasteland, where he was introduced to a young atheist, Clive Staples Lewis. When he picks up this novel he will be able to recognize the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the life of C.S. Lewis through his BBC radio transmissions.

    Douglas Adams

    Paperback (Del Rey, June 23, 1997)
    Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability. Among Arthur’s motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and expert contributer to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who’s gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker’s Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!
