War Conflicts

The Vietnam War, known in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America, was an undeclared conflict spanning Vietnam, Laos (with the Laotian Civil War), and Cambodia from 1955 to 1975. The war was officially fought between Communist North Vietnam and opposing South Vietnam. The former was supported by the Soviet Union, China, and other communist allies; the latter was supported by the United States, South Korea, Philippines, Australia, and other anti-communist allies. The guerrilla warfare tactics used by the Viet Cong is one of the most well-known aspects of the war.

Book One in The Space Empire Trilogy -- What does a Prince of the Space Empire do when his father takes his toy away? Spend the summer in a Camp Meeting on Earth. Just what is a camp meeting? Open air and open water baffle men raised in tunnels and domes but the message of God's claim on their lives is even more disturbing. Alexander promised his family he'd come home alive, but Imperial SSTs targeting the Discovery might change his plans.

Book Three in The Space Empire Trilogy -- Alexander risked everything for Michael, only to see himself barely tolerated in the reconciliation between the Space Empire's king and his son. Forces are at work far beyond Lorelei's Peace Child plans and Randolph and Aidan's struggles for acceptance. The empire that has never welcomed an Earthling into its ranks, much less allowed a marriage with someone who might step up to the throne. The Church's claimed ministry of mediation and peace deserves a closer look.

Book Two of The Space Empire Trilogy -- Aidan, their unintended traveling companion, is losing blood fast. The destruction of two possible escape vehicles and the forced evacuation of the third leaves them little choice. But a golf cart in the dense wilderness isn't the best getaway vehicle. An introduction to Earth's Fourth Empire really wasn't on Michael or Randolph's calendar.

The interplay between economic isolation and arrogance frequently leads nations to escalate conflicts, assuming their economies can thrive independently. Yet, the reality of global interdependence exposes such assumptions as dangerously flawed. To subdue the hubris that fuels trade wars, one must revisit the historical truth: they are rarely, if ever, victorious. From the 1930s Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act that ...

Death is a stalker, preying on the ones I love, and even my superpowers aren't strong enough to stop it. All I wanted was to help the people suffering in Eastern Europe. With the Vampire Queen gone, Daunator was laying claim to the area, taking as many people as he could get. Unfortunately, the Leaders were still on their honeymoon, and no one else on the team wanted to do anything about it. Except for Christian--my nemesis.
