Kidnapped by ninja and led to their village deep in the mountains, Jack has no means of escape. The only question is who will kill him first—the ninja or samurai?

The Making of MeredithOn the surface, John Meredith appears to have it all. He’s blessed with good looks and a successful police career, and he’s never short of female attention.

Can he allow anyone close or will they see the joins and the damaged person that he really is?The Making of Meredith explores not only what made the man but also how his past could destroy his future.Although not a detective novel, this is a prequel to the Meredith & Hodge series, and a must read for all Meredith & Hodge fans.

Excerpt from The Making of the EarthThe origin of the earth deals with events of primeval antiquity and with conditions very different from those of the present time. Hence it is not surprising that we find the problem attended by many uncertainties, for we only know the earth after it has waxed old and we only look upon the earth's cold outer surface. Of one fact we can, however, be sure; the earth was originally part of a much larger and less compact mass, from which came all the other members of the Solar System.The earth is not unique in structure or material. Many of the heavenly bodies that we see in the sky at night are similar to the earth; for the spectroscope shows that some of them are composed of similar materials; some also of the fragments of shooting stars that fall upon the earth consist of the same minerals as the rocks of the earth's crust.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
