Tommy knew the right thing to do was turn them in to the cops. But that wasn't the adventurous thing to do! What happened to the three men who escaped from Alcatraz prison in June 1962? Did they meet the same watery fate as dozens who preceded them into the cold San Francisco Bay? There is credible evidence two of them - brothers John and Clarence Anglin - not only survived but lived for years in South America. Inseparable is a fictional account of how a 13-year-old boy named Tommy helped them to freedom. Tommy O’Conner was an only child whose mother, a widow of the Korean Conflict, had been left to make it on her own. She passed her independent, sometimes lonely spirit, to her son. But Tommy was also, in many ways, no different than other boys his age who dreamed of adventure. Then, one June day in 1962, his daydreams were interrupted by the real thing when he came face to face with John and Clarence Anglin - two of the Alcatraz escapees - and made the decision which would change all their lives.

It is the duty of the Vanguard to protect the world from unseen demonic forces. But what if the organization falls to corruption?

It’s 7 December 1941. Do you know where your foes are? Rear-Admiral Erwin “Tex” Rommel, aviation pioneer, fighter ace, and tactical genius in the use of air power, thinks he has an answer for that one. Washington has handed him plenty of rope to test his ideas regarding carrier tactics. Can he use it to lasso the Japanese threat, or will he just hang himself and the U.S. Navy with it? It’s 7 December 1941. Do you know where your friends are? Commander Anson McDonald has spent his entire career at sea, in destroyers, and has recently earned the command of one. He has never done staff work—but Rommel shanghaies him off the ship he loves, to fill a key staff position. For the first time in years, he is unsure of himself. Can he handle his new job, or will he foul up, bringing his career, his commanding officer, and his fleet to ruin and defeat? It’s 7 December 1941. Do you know where your brains are? Rommel preaches the gospel of readiness, drilling his men to a crack level. But the Navy is green; hardly anyone has ever seen action. Nearly everyone is mired in peacetime habits, suspicious of anything new. Untried inventions permeate the Navy. Few know how to effectively use those science-fictional gadgets, radar and sonar. The latest torpedoes are so secret they’ve never been tested. And no one, not even Erwin Rommel, knows what will happen when carriers clash for the first time on the high seas. It’s 7 December 1941 . . . .
