Books in Parabaloni series

Simeon Lee has spent his life keeping America free from terror. Which makes the discovery of a band of hooded murderers sparking fear from coast to coast a very unpalatable shock. Someone is trying to change America from the ground up, and whoever they are has no qualms about murdering the weak in their way. But as he takes hold of faith and leaps out into the fight again, Simeon begins to suspect God might have an ulterior motive in driving him back to work. Happiness, the elusive sweetness in life the old spy has long given up hope of finding, could be waiting for him in the smile of an unexpected young man.

Underneath the French A15 Interstate, where it towers over the river Seine, sits a warehouse. It is particularly uninteresting, just a gray rectangle, like an overgrown cinderblock. But to a team of American spies it is extremely interesting; it’s the building Simeon Lee picked to unmask a terrorist of an unusual sort. Simeon’s best friend is in trouble, framed for terrorist activity by someone calling themselves ‘Solitaire,’ and that’s not something the Parabaloni are willing to overlook. At that singularly ugly warehouse the four spies must bring together Gigan’s family of Parisian smugglers, all the law-enforcement they can pack into three rooms, a crowd of Islamic terrorist, one crooked inventor, and this unexplained Solitaire. But once there, will Simeon manage to draw a confession out, or will Solitaire end the night by his favorite method of igniting TNT, and blow them all straight to minuscule pieces?

A single week in the life of Peter Aziz finds him sold out by his team, captured by Islamic terrorists, shot at by camel herders in the Empty Quarter, nearly drowned in a Yemen river, almost blown to bits while rescuing a king, and shot out of the sky while wearing a pteranodon-styled flight suit. This world can be a surprising place. But when new friendships begin to form, for Peter Aziz life's surprises begin to switch to the good kind instead of the nightmares it’s been for the past year.

A call comes in after a long weekend, and sends Simeon and Vincent hurtling toward Ireland to stop thousands of men, women and children from being blown to bits. The lies are so thick even the Parabaloni struggle to find the perpetrators before the situation erupts. But just when Vincent and Simeon think they are on the right track they find themselves in a room full of high explosives, and feel the barrel of an AK47 in their backs… One thing is certain: what these friends believe shapes how they will act in the situation. But will the action be enough to keep this from being the final chapter in their adventures?

Algernon Fitzkkin (codename Donald Duck) used to be at the top of the infamous game of lies and spies. New interests have claimed him now, and he is not pleased to be pulled out of his not-so-quiet retirement by a mysterious Eastern beauty that’s shoved into his arms. But a few minutes talk show Algy that she needs him desperately. And a gallant gentleman never turns his back on a lady in distress - no matter how old he might be, or how impossibly in the dark her story leaves him. Flying blind while trying to lead rarely works. But sometimes a man can stumble through the darkness to find…what? All Algy can do is throw himself on the One who makes the blind to see. Even so, something tells him he isn’t going to be feeling just ducky when this is over.

A peaceful holiday season never lasts when your job description is expert trouble-shooting spy. But at least Antarctica poses a pretty landscape for an approaching Christmas, and anywhere can be home if you have a heated house-plane, friends near, and Christ’s joy in your heart. Until your heated plane is shot down in frigid water, and you find yourself stranded in an ice cave with one of your team members half dead and the group of killers who shot you down only a mile’s easy march from you. But on the bright side, the short distance from well-supplied enemies is nice for raiding purposes. And there’s nothing better on a cold night than a game of riddles, and this situation poses a doozy; what’s the link between slaughtered penguins, famous pieces of art, a drilling site, arid outer space, a 1st century band of Christian brethren, and a group of mismatched American spies?
