One of only two survivors of the famous Cockleshell Hero raid, Bill Sparks' war and postwar career has never before been told in full. In this gripping book, he describes not only his part in Operation FRANKTON, the daring Gironde raid, and his escape back to Britain, but how he fought with the Greek Sacred Squadron thereafter. Operating in small groups they raided and liberated islands in the Aegean Sea. After the war, bored with life as a bus driver, he joined the Malayan Police and saw action aplenty during the Emergency. Always something of a military maverick, Bill's memoir is truly action-packed. The book benefits from the inclusion of the official German investigation report into the Cockleshell Raid.

Praise for Gravity Drive: “I started reading Gravity Drive - Key to the Cosmos after dinner, figuring I'd get a couple chapters into it just to see how it started...and couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing straight through. Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. I loved the aliens.” Jerry Oltion - Nebula Award winning author of over 15 novels and 150 published stories, including numerous Authorized Star Trek novels. Since the invention of rockets, their propulsion systems have gone essentially unchanged. We still depend on blasting some type of propellant out the rear to shoot the rocket forward (Newton’s Third Law - check it out). There’s two main problems with this method: propellant is always in limited supply, and therefore you can’t really go very fast. This is why we use gravitational assist from planets and the Sun, to get us places. It still takes years, and that’s just inside our solar system. What if we could go to our Moon in hours or Mars in a couple days, and even turn around mid-flight if we forgot our toothbrush? This is the story behind the development of the Gravity Drive propulsion system. WAIT Spoiler Alert (Author’s note: I’ve always hated spoilers. Can’t believe I have to write one). Howard, the hero of our story (well, he’s not really a hero so much as an engineer) has a close encounter of the,.... well,..... close kind. He realizes he’s far more interested in how the ship moves than who might be inside. Through a series of unusual life experiences, he dedicates himself to duplicating the alien craft’s drive system, which he believes centers around the ability to create a gravity well for propulsion, which is really consistent with the bulk of UFO (UAP) sightings. Our story takes us back to 1947 Roswell (yeah that place), where we learn what really happened that night, and the surprising reason the government wants to keep it quiet. We go forward in time and meet a pair of trouble making engineers with unfortunate last names, who are in charge of protecting and uncovering the secrets from the crashed alien craft. And then they meet our hero, Howard, who brings the knowledge that finally helps our engineers discover how the alien craft works. Actually, how it worked, cause not so much now. Together, our now three heroes convince NASA to build the first Gravity Drive space ship, and off they fly on an adventure that takes them to meet friendly aliens and a bio-engineered, snarky AI computer. We explore our solar system and discover short cuts through space and time that give us the key to exploring the Cosmos (hence the title of the book, in case you missed that). Our three heroes come back after a long journey through space and time to bring hope to the life on Earth. In other words, as it turns out, advanced civilizations in our galaxy really hate having violent species invading their peaceful space. So we’re given an ultimatum, along with some really nice gifts, that humans need to get their shit together, stop making war, and clean up their planet or else! That pretty much says it. But hey, there’s lots of fun along with way, and one really smart dog that you’re going to love. Whenever possible the book emphasizes science over fiction. So, you can read this to your kids and they might actually learn something. The book was written for everyone from rocket scientists and engineers, to young people who dream of someday being one of those two. It’s also written for Vegans (the vegetarian type, not the ones from Vega), peaceful environmental activists, and dog lovers. If you’re looking for a book that doesn’t rely on violence to keep you turning pages, and proves that science and exploration can be fun while also being educational, then you’ve found your next great book. Did I mention there’s also lots of beer and pizza (basic nutrients for your everyday engineer)? If you enjoy this book, please keep in mind it’s the first in the Gravity Drive trilogy. Don’t miss the sequels: Gravity Drive 2 - Jason’s Ark, and of course the third book, which is why they call these trilogies: Gravity Drive 3 - The Scattering. Thank you. And if you buy this book it just proves you have really great taste in authors.

I read the whole thing straight through. Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters. I loved the aliens.” Jerry Oltion - Nebula Award winning author of over 15 novels and 150 published stories, including numerous Authorized Star Trek novels. (Note: This is a work of fiction) - Since the invention of rockets, their propulsion systems have gone essentially unchanged. We still depend on blasting some type of propellant out the rear to shoot the rocket forward (Newton’s Third Law - check it out). There’s two main problems with this method: propellant is always in limited supply, and therefore you can’t really go very fast. This is why we use gravitational assist from planets and the Sun, to get us places. It still takes years, and that’s just inside our solar system. What if we could go to our Moon in hours or Mars in a couple days, and even turn around mid-flight if we forgot our toothbrush? This is the story behind the development of the Gravity Drive propulsion system, WAIT Spoiler Alert - and the profound effect it has not just on space exploration but on all of humanity, it’s benefits for Earth’s ecology, and most importantly, it’s role in humanities future in the greater galactic community. The story follows an engineer who has a close encounter and decides he’s far more interested in how the UFO flies, than who might be inside. After designing the first gravity drive propulsion system, he receives confirmation of his design when he meets up with two engineers who have been studying the crashed Alien craft from 1947 Roswell. And yes, you’ll finally hear the true story of that night in 1947 Roswell and why the US government has kept it covered up. The three engineers become fast friends and together with NASA they build the first fully functional gravity drive space craft, and fly off to many adventures among the cosmos with a slightly wacky alien AI (the friendly kind) and meet some very interesting aliens. OK - we’re getting into some real spoiler territory here so you’ve been warned, again: After bringing additional advanced technology back to humanity, courtesy of some friendly aliens, our four heroes start humanity down a path of cleaning up the mess we’ve made of our Earth and it’s inhabitants. So it’s time for a very long nap, and we wake up just in time for the second book. It’s thousands of years later and humans have really worked their butts off to make the Earth a paradise once again, when along comes the Universe to snatch it all away. The only hope for saving life on Earth rests with their new best friend, and previously mentioned artificial intelligence - Jason. Hence the title of the second book. With the Ark fully loaded we head into the third book, where we quickly discover that the Universe doesn’t play fair, and is determined to destroy all life on Earth once and for all. It’s time for humanity to get serious about deep space exploration and find us some new homes out there in the cosmos. The only problem is there just aren’t a lot of no vacancy signs. You’ll love the way the trilogy wraps up, and the important messages not so discreetly hidden in the story. After all, they’re important and I don’t want you to miss them in case you fall asleep a lot while reading. I hope you enjoy these three books as much as I enjoyed writing them, and Thank You for your choice in literature. It shows you have Great Taste.

The revolution launched by the unincorporated man comes to an explosive conclusion in this thought-provoking science fiction saga finale. Sandra O’Toole is the president of the Outer Alliance, which stretches from the asteroid belt to the Oort Cloud beyond Pluto. Resurrected following the death of Justin Cord, the unincorporated man, O’Toole has become a powerful political figure and a Machiavellian leader determined to win the civil war against the inner planets at almost any cost. But the war has been going badly, in part because of the great General Trang, a fit opponent for the brilliant J. D. Black. Choices have to be made to abandon some of the moral principles upon which the revolution was founded. It is a time of great heroism and great betrayal, madness, sacrifice, and shocking military conflict. Nothing is predictable, even the behavior of artificial intelligences. There may be only one way out, but it is not surrender.
