"The Hunted" by one of my Favorites: Brian Haig

Brian Haig is an interesting fellow. He's the son of Al Haig and a military officer and attorney. He is also a darn good writer. He hasn't written enough books to make me happy, but his works don't disappoint. This book is based on a true story and it has spys, Russian Mafia, Corrupt US Government, nice folks running from the bad guys.. A book with great characters and action. Who would like to read it or receive it as a gift? I'll tell you in this video review!

Best Book I've Read in Decades: The Last Centurion

John Ringo thought he wrote a work of science fiction, but the world caught up very quickly. The story line is as modern as... right now! THIS is a book you should buy a dozen of in
paperback and give away to friends! Quick, before it happens!

In this video review I don't give away the story line, but I do tell you who would be interested in reading "The Last Centurion" or receiving it as a gift.

W.E.B Griffin's "Black Ops" -- Perhaps the last of the Good Griffin Books?

"Black Ops" is no longer the "latest" book by W.E.B. Griffin as I state in this video, but it might have been the last GOOD book by this wonderful author. I really can not recommend later books co-authored with William Butterworth IV (the author's son). Later books lack the great handling of characters and the ability to engage the reader that so many of enjoy in the works published under the W.E.B. Griffin name. Would you like "Black Ops"? I'll tell you in this video review without giving away the plot.

A Great Reader Review of "A Glint In Time"

Bill Parker is a very blunt kind of guy. He pulls no punches. Here is what HE had to say in his Amazon.Com book review.

TIME PARADOX FOR TOM CLANCY,
By
W. Parker "Gunny1911" (ISLAMORADA, FLORIDA USA) - See all my reviews Author Frank Derfler's journey into science fiction manages to combine the paradox of time travel with the fast paced action of a Tom Clancy adventure novel. Melding the 1925 documented theoretical science of Satyedra Bose and Albert Einstein with successful physics experiments from U of Colorado (1995), Derfler brought a 'new dimension' to the science fiction genre of 'alternative histories'. Unlike many predecessors, this work explains the time travel paradox in an understandable manner while weaving the science in a fast paced action thriller reminiscent of Tom Clancy's early works. The science is solid and the adventure non-stop.

I'd Like to Tell You About My Book: A Glint in Time

Here is the premise: It is true that today, in university labs around the world, graduate students in physics are experimenting with freezing light and time. My one assumption beyond present fact in this book is that a technology is discovered allowing a small item to be sent back into time. All other laws of physics apply... the farther back in time the less accurate.. great power is needed.. significant heating is takes place.. So, if you could send a tiny hot object back into time, what COULD you do with it? What WOULD you do with it. And, if you were successful in changing something, how would you know?


A Glint In Time

Asteroids and the Earth

This New York Times ARTICLE talks about the potential for asteroid collisions. This topic was a part of my first novel, "A Glint in Time", and will play a major role in my second upcoming book.

"THE Earth is pockmarked with the evidence of ancient collisions — huge craters blasted into its surface by asteroids or comets. One such object, striking 65 million years ago in the Yucatán in Mexico, is believed by some experts to be linked to the demise of the dinosaurs.

For a decade, NASA has been busy trying to identify what else is headed this way, particularly those potential “civilization killers” of 1 kilometer (.62 miles) or more in diameter that have orbits coming within 30 million miles of the Earth’s — too close for comfort by space standards."
