"Among all my books, this one will always occupy a particularly warm spot in my heart; for listen, reader, and I will let you into a little secret. Riddle Creek is really Ridley, and is a true-enough stream, flowing through one of the most charming regions in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The railroad trestle which plays such an important part in the first chapter forms a picturesque feature of the landscape, in full view of a home where I was wont to spend many a joyous holiday-time and which I had in mind whenever I mentioned the Pellery."

Even the greatest leaders get distracted by the less meaningful details of daily life and lose sight of what is important. At their worst, we see leaders get way off course and rationalize unethical or illegal activity, and at their best, we see leaders distracted by the day-to-day minutia, losing sight of the dynamic vision that drives their success. They need a quick reminder to serve as a "true north" and keep on track. Leading with Courage: Daily Reminders for the Decision Maker is an opportunity to spend a few minutes in the busy day reminding yourself of the personal and professional things that matter and the impact your decisions have on others.

Everyone has a story to tell. It doesn''t matter what nation, town, city or country. Everyone has a story to tell. It doesn''t matter whether you are rich or poor, young or old. No matter the race. Everyone has a story to tell. Stories have been written, told and passed along starting from the beginning of time. Some had truth, many had untruth and others had a little of both. Numerous stories that were told have been looked upon as fairy tales or old folk tales but none-the-less, telling stories was a form of entertainment for many grownups and exciting story times for countless children who dared not to go to bed without hearing one or two of the stories. Jesus, even in the bible days, told stories or parables that had powerful meanings to the by standers. These stories were told to the hearers to help them better understand life and its many wonders. I have come to enjoy a good story or two myself and I''m sure many of you have too.

Vengeance has Consequences.Commander Grant stands at the helm of the most powerful interstellar armada ever assembled; a force measuring in the thousands stands ready to defend earth and her new allies. Unfortunately, their greatest weapon system, an immense capital starship, has been compromised, leaving them on the drift. Unable to execute their mission across the stars without their most powerful asset, the team must scour the galaxy for its trail if they are to have any hope of defeating the brutal alien menace. But no operation survives first contact intact. Questions continue to build as to the true nature of their ally, the mystery surrounding their adversary, and the increasingly intertwined history of all their civilizations. Growing ever more distraught, Commander Grant awaits the day when his force stops running and brings the fire to their enemy, but will his zeal deliver them victory or oblivion?

The first four books of the Mission:SRX saga, together at last and available as a single volume.0. Before Space ReconWhat started as a standard supply run for the crew of the U.S.C. Defiance has become the flash point for Humanity''s First Contact War. A short story and introduction to the MissionSRX universe.1. Confessions of the First WarIn the near future, humanity has overcome the bonds of earth and begun to explore the galaxy. The alien first contact was everything the world''s greatest scholars could have hoped for; the Aquillians were advanced, intelligent and peaceful until ships and colonies turned up missing. Having previously no military capacity, the alien''s ability to reverse engineer humankind''s technologies of war proved to be a great equalizer. The aliens grew increasingly brazen, culminating in a series of devastating attacks on the populations of earth. It quickly became clear that the military leaders had greatly underestimated their numbers, proficiency, and reach throughout the galaxy.Commander Prime Jefferson Grant has nothing left to lose. Left alone without a home or family, he enlists in the United Space Corps to give the only thing he has left: His life. To avenge the lost he must carve a path of destruction beyond compare to secure humanity''s future. From the Earth to the stars, across countless alien battlefields, the war must be fought. To succeed, Grant must take a descent into madness, give up all that he knew, and realize his destiny as a hero or a monster.The enemy is coming. Is the will of one soldier enough to save it?2. Ephemeral SolaceHumanity''s First Intergalactic War is over but only after testing the resolve, patience and skill of a civilization.The Aquillians have been defeated, but their threat has not been eliminated.Commander Prime Jefferson Grant''s life has been spared, but only in exchange for a life of servitude.No sooner had the dust settled and the dead buried before the last of the Aquillians would emerge. Allied with a strange, new enemy and armed to the teeth, these are not the creatures that allowed their race to be destroyed by the humans in years past. They''re attacking Earth and her colonies without method or mercy, leaving the leaders of the United Space Corps scrambling to react. The best hope lies with the soldiers, tradesmen and service members in the field, thrown into the fire to survive or otherwise.Driven by forces he does not understand, Commander Prime Grant must lead his forces through the assault, to a goal even he doesn''t believe. 3. Deep UnknownLeft on the drift after escaping Earth, the crew of a single ship awakes amidst an alien civilization with an engrossed interest in their success and survival. Realizing a purpose greater than any of them can individually understand, the chosen few take up their call to save both races from annihilation. With every strike against the darkness, the questions pile up, the perfect become fallible and the trusted seek betrayal. Placing grievances aside, Commander Grant along with his team must stand united not just for humanity, but for all life in the universe.4. Commander''s WrathCommander Grant stands at the helm of the most powerful interstellar armada ever assembled; a force measuring in the thousands stands ready to defend earth and her new allies.

And behold the children reached into the darkness, and drew those who are pure into our sky. In our stead, they did defend us, wrapped in the armor of our spirit and wielding the swords of our fathers. Their bodies dust, their souls resolute; with the blessing of The One we shall not perish from the Universe. Commander Grant and his crew have escaped from Earth into deep space, dragging behind them a fleet of invading alien ships in a desperate attempt to give humanity''s beleaguered defenses a chance to regroup. With their enemy closing in, they plunge headlong into the abyss and find themselves on the far side of the universe, face to face with an oddly familiar alien ally who is intently interested in their survival. The Lyran race has spent millennia conquering the stars but have finally met a foe which they cannot face. They have not been idle, however, and have made ready for the time when a warrior would emerge from the darkness and lead their civilization to victory. But nothing in war is as simple as it seems.
