There are stories of exciting, if unusual, secret service operations, centering on a senior intelligence officer, using the Knights Templar for his cover. The fast moving action reveals how easy it is to lay oneself open to serious problems with the authorities. Much of the content is based on actual occurrences, whilst other parts have been fictionalized. Completely up-to-date, with even a mention of climate change. Tom Paxton, one of the investigators, carries the reputation of being a descendant of Charles Paxton, the Collector of Customs during the Boston Tea Party. Should you doubt the existence of the Knights Templar, you might well change your opinion when you''ve read this book, and if like millions of TV viewers around the world, you watched the service of remembrance service for Diana, Princess of Wales, you will have noticed how the Royals took precedence over the few politicians invited to attend. Throughout history, the Knights Templar have been close to royal families.

Military Intelligence are searching for a suitably qualified secret agent. Captain Sandy Mitchell and his Russian born female partner drop right into the net that takes them to Morocco and then across the Atlantic. The authors have strived to create a short book that fulfills Alfred Hitchcock''s requirements of a storyline that complies with the MacGuffin concept of an exciting plot. A detective thriller with suspense, violence, and very much a page turning novel, that finishes with a surprise ending. The action takes place in Europe, then onto the Caribbean, with a climax in Bermuda, uncovering the need to prevent a possible embarrassment in the highest echelons of the US. At just over 100 pages, written to lead the reader from chapter to chapter, determined to reach the end, which might just confirm their own conclusions regarding the verdicts of the undercover detectives.

Describing the immense Allied response to the Russian closure of the road and rail routes into Berlin in 1948. It''s interesting to reflect that at that time, President Vladimir Putin hadn''t even been born, and one wonders how old he was before he heard of the Berlin airlift, that became the World''s largest humantarian relief effort, and cost the lives of 70 Allied aircraft pilots. But it possibly did stop the start of a shooting war. Well illustrated with photographs taken whilst serving with the 1st Bn The Royal Norfolk Regiment in Dusseldorf and Berlin. The airlift is still better remembered in the US than in the EU, except perhaps by elderly Germans in Berlin.

Much more than just a tale of sailing against mountainous seas, but a book with every aspect of sailing and motor boating, in many parts of the world. It illustrates how times have changed to the extent the stories are never to be repeated. Providing a more permanent record, it tells how in post-war Britain, we developed a system of teaching and testing recreational users of marine craft of every description. This has now been copied in almost every country with recreational waterborne sports, including a UK approved sailing school in the USA. If all that sounds a mighty bit boring, be assured it has ten most unusual stories with excitement, including projects in China and Nigeria. There are tales of law-breaking villains afloat, and you won''t want to put the book down. Looking for a present for a sea-loving friend? Look no further.

This is a detective thriller, packed with action and suspense, for the young, both boys and girls, the young at heart, and those who wish they still were. Care has been taken to ensure the non-nautical reader won''t feel all at sea, so to give these shipmates a hand, the sometimes unusual phraseology is explained. But the author does want you to really feel you are climbing the ratlines, hauling yourself up by your cold hands grasping the greasy rigging, whilst you look up at the mast head swaying across the dark threatening clouds, before climbing onto the yardarm to bundle up the sail. It''s also possible that some might think the idea of Knights Templar being involved is just a bit fanciful. Be assured there are still some afloat today. In this case, four teenage pupils from the Knights Templar School in the west of England (yes, it does exist!) outwit a criminal gang, the police and the customs, but delight the intelligence agencies.
