    The ground crews who waited underneath these formidable aircraft, ready to launch them on their one-way mission now have stories to tell. The same ground crews who maintained the aircraft, keeping them ever ready to perform their lethal mission. We learn of a hush-hush visit to a British V-Bomber base by a sitting U.S. President or about an unwilling stowaway facing the prospect of a potentially fatal flight in a Vulcan, while another perfectly willing stowaway ends up hundreds of miles from his home. Russian KGB espionage and subversion are also revealed. The author and some of his colleagues from that long ago era tell their stories that range from the frigid iciness of Goose Bay in northern Canada to the sun-drenched island of Malta, but mostly take place on our own British V-bomber bases. Learn about some of the behind-the-scenes activities that it took to service and maintain a Vulcan bomber and some facts versus fiction concerning the Vulcan’s brief role in the James Bond film, Thunderball. Share the low point and heart-wrenching grief when an entire aircrew is lost in a tragic accident, contrasted with the high jinks during an overseas detachment. All this and much, much more. This book is a must read for V-Bomber veterans or anyone with an interest in the magnificent Avro Vulcan.

    Millions of pages read. Get your badge today! *INCLUDES BOOKS 1-5* Nearly 900 pages of action-packed adventure. Blood Crossed (Book 1) Meet Piper Shaw. She's one of the Netherworld Paranormal Police Department's toughest. She's also an immortal, and she's got one hell of a chip on her shoulder. Meet Reaper Payne. He's an actual reaper. Yes, one of those guys who ferries the dead. Unfortunately, he broke a rule of his order, and it was a doozy. His punishment is to dwell alongside the living for one hundred years. They're both Retrievers in the PPD. Essentially, they hunt in the Overworld to bring back supernaturals who have overstayed their welcome. Piper is clear about one thing: She does not want a partner. They just became partners. Bane's Edge (Book 2) Officers Piper Shaw and Reaper Payne are at it again. This time in San Fransisco. Lucien Bane wants blood. After turning from a mild-mannered wolf into a near-uber who is bent on dominating the city, he's now taken up shop in Alcatraz. And he's not alone. He's convinced a number of wolves to follow him by claiming he's descended from a god. When push comes to shove, will Piper finally admit she needs the one thing she hates to ask for? Namely...backup. Deathly Temperance (Book 3) Temperance is the queen of the fae. After tasting true power at the hands of an evil mage, she's bent on ruling the Netherworld. She wants it all...and she wants it now. Piper & Payne have to break the rules and sneak into Faeland if they're to stop all of this. Getting caught is not an option, and failure means the end of the Netherworld as they know it. It's a shame there's a psychopathic torturer who has other plans for them... Major Feeding (Book 4) Keller wants to take over the Netherworld PPD. After decades of waiting, he's finally weakened the precinct enough to take his shot. Now is the time to strike. Piper & Payne have to find a way to get into that building, save Agnes, and destroy Keller's plans. Easier said than done. If they fail, Keller will finish what Temperance started...taking over the Netherworld. Netherworld Rift (Book 5) After Keller decimated the Netherworld PPD, Piper and her crew take it upon themselves to bring the fight to him. But is there a traitor in their midst? Only time will tell... They head topside to New York City and the fun begins. Battling drones in Central Park kicks off a string of events that pits all of Keller's goons against the squad. They're completely overwhelmed until the entirety of the NY PPD gets involved...but even that may not be enough to take down the evil mage and his powerful entourage. They'll need to give everything they've got if they're to even have a chance of dethroning the bastard. The bottom line is that if Keller survives this time, the world falls. Fortunately, Piper & Payne have a heroic turtle on their side... If you like Jim Butcher, Domino Finn, Michael Anderle, M. D. Massey, Rick Gualtieri, Orlando A. Sanchez, K.F. Breene, Shayne Silvers, Ilona Andrews, Brad Magnarella, Patricia Briggs, or Kim Harrison...you'll have a blast with this box set from the Netherworld Paranormal Police Department.
