A reenactment battle marches into Bayport in this Hardy Boys adventure—a fresh approach to a classic series.Bayport goes back in time when a Revolutionary War-era battleship is discovered, along with a treasure trove of historic artifacts. To celebrate, the town stages a reenactment of the historic Battle of Bayport, complete with antique artillery, canons, and tricorn hats. Even Frank and Joe Hardy are decked out in full Colonial costume, fighting over freedom and taxes on opposite sides of the battle line. But things get a little too real when a stray shot leaves Bayport’s biggest benefactor, Don Sterling, without a pulse. Wait a minute—weren’t those muskets supposed to be unloaded? And even though the Hardy Boys have technically retired from solving mysteries, they can’t help but get involved, especially when a favorite teacher turns out to be a prime suspect. Is someone trying to frame Mr. Lazin? And who would want Don Sterling dead? Murder by reenactment is one the Hardys haven’t seen before, but don’t think they’re not up for the challenge!

Andy Lorenzo has no family, few friends, and poor social skills and drinks and gambles far too much. But in a time when demons are becoming increasingly more brazen and powerful, he has one skill that makes demons cower in fear from him - he is the greatest exorcist the world has ever known. In Battle of the Soul, a supernatural thriller that is a combination of Constantine and The Exorcist, since graduating high school, Andy has left a long trail of demons in his wake while priests are dying while performing traditional rites of exorcism. Andy is the church and society's ultimate weapon in combating this growing epidemic. He needs no Bibles, prayers, or rituals. Andy is capable of going inside the person's soul, where he engages in hand-to-hand combat using his superhuman abilities that reside only when he is in a person's soul. When eight-year-old Kate becomes possessed, Andy finds an elaborate trap waiting for him. He will do whatever it takes to win the most important fight of his life - the battle for Kate's soul. "Ready for a lighthearted Battle of the Soul? Andy Lorenzo's got the requisite exorcism skills, but he's no single-minded zealot nor cynical bleak arts practitioner. He gets the biz done with a deft touch and a wink and a nod to family values. It's not John Constantine here but try Cary Grant in Monkey Business. Battle of the Soul is a fine, fun supernatural read!" (Mort Castle, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Strangers)
