An epic story of one man’s devotion to the American cause
In October 1776, four years before Benedict Arnold’s treasonous attempt to hand control of the Hudson River to the British, his patch-work fleet on Lake Champlain was all that stood between British forces and a swift end to the American rebellion.
Benedict Arnold’s Navy is the dramatic chronicle of that desperate battle and of the extraordinary events that occurred on the American Revolution’s critical northern front. Written with captivating narrative vitality, this landmark book shows how Benedict Arnold’s fearless leadership against staggering odds in a northern wilderness secured for America the independence that he would later try to betray.

"It is, by far, the best Civil War novel I’ve read; reeking of battle, duty, heroism and tragedy. It’s a triumph of imagination and good, taut writing . . . "--Bernard Cornwell on Glory in the Name, winner of the W. Y. Boyd Literary Award

Not too far from their sleepy, sun-drenched town nestled on the outskirts of the eastern Oregon desert, three friends—Jim, Marc, and Rick—stumbled upon the adventure of a lifetime! One afternoon, while out searching for gold, they discovered an object so out of place it seemed like a mirage: a sleek, golden spaceship, half-buried in the bank of the trail, abandoned and forgotten. The trio, bound by their shared dreams of adventure and wealth, approached the ship with a mix of awe and trepidation. After days of meticulous examination and fueled by a blend of excitement and determination, they managed to open the hatch. With the spaceship now at their control, they learned to utilize the contents of the ship. This is their story as written by Jim, as they encountered ancient civilizations and technology far beyond current human comprehension, showing the world what three young men could achieve when driven by a dream not just to enrich themselves, but to enrich the lives of others.~Winner of the 2025 Golden Wizard Book Award!

In this highly unusual role for a lawyer, the author found himself in 1998 having to learn on his feet at a frightening pace as the newly promoted senior legal advisor to the charismatic General Sir Mike Jackson, the commander who led the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps into strife-torn Kosovo the following year to restore some sort of normality in the aftermath of the NATO bombing campaign. A peace deal was finally signed, only for Russia to intervene at the eleventh hour. The author was asked to provide rules of engagement for NATO to eject a stubborn Russian unit from Pristina by force, amongst fears of starting World War III, one of the few occasions when he thought perhaps civilian legal practice might not have been such a bad idea after all. Ten years later the author was back at HQ ARRC, promoted to Colonel. The culture shock on this occasion was not so much, spending six months in Afghanistan as being professionally embedded in a large American military legal office led by a hyper energetic US officer from the ''deep south''. Unlike the short, sharp Kosovo experience in central Europe, this war in central Asia was the longest in the history of the USA, although for the British it was just the latest in a succession of operations going back two centuries to the ''Great Game''. Trying to apply the law, balancing the need for aggression with compliance with Western notions of human rights, and vain efforts to win over the hearts and minds of a proud but impoverished people historically blighted by conflict proved to be unimaginably fraught. Military Operations From Kosovo to Kabul is one experienced soldier’s fascinating account of these historic events, seen on the ground from the perspective of a legal professional, seldom associated with fighting wars.
