Book Basset

Who is Jon Ryan? He’s a fighter pilot and astronaut tasked with saving humankind from the imminent destruction of Earth. With the planet Jupiter knocked off its orbit, humankind has less than a century to find a new home. Jon becomes the first volunteer for Project Ark, a desperate mission to search the galaxy for a suitable location for human resettlement. But first, he must have his consciousness transferred into an experimental android host. Our fate and his life depend on a new machine built under a lowest-price-technically-acceptable government contract. Sheesh, what could go wrong?

Jon’s only companion on his epic voyage will be his ship’s AI, Al. Unfortunately Al turns out to be more like a cantankerous spouse than a helpful computer program. Along the way, Jon encounters alien civilizations and must learn the dark art of diplomacy to convince them to help Jon in his quest. But mostly, he has to run for his life. Fortunately, Jon has three things in his favor: he’s incredibly lucky, fearless, and so cocky you just want to shake his hand.

As Jon pushes the limits of human technology and his own psychological strength, he must overcome one final challenge: saving our species. Can he succeed, or will he become the sole survivor, lost in space forever? And is the galaxy ready for Jon? Not one chance! Poor aliens. You almost have to feel sorry for them.

Savvy stylist Amanda Wright loves Marietta, her hair salon, and her clients, and no client is more dear to her heart than eighty-year-old Bette Justice-even if her years have made her a little fragile.

Tyler Justice has a one-track mind-he wants to take care of his beloved grandmother. He can’t understand her resistance to move to Texas and is sure that the young friend she keeps mentioning-Amanda-is taking advantage of his grandmother’s generosity. He reaches Marietta determined to put the salon owner in her place and bring his grandmother home… until smart, kind Amanda starts to tug at his heart in ways he never expected.

But just as Tyler and Amanda start to form a real connection, will a long-buried family secret destroy their chance at love?

Jim Bolden and Lew Weinman, members of a covert intelligence group, have been entrusted with the deadliest missions: the kind that governments disavow and history never remembers. Their task is not just to fight enemies but to challenge the mythologies and systems that keep violence alive. As they battle remnants of the Nazi regime across continents, they must also confront a deeper struggle — the one for humanity’s soul. Blending gripping action with philosophical depth, The Last Rival explores the timeless themes of sacrifice, forgiveness, and the power of belief. Set against the stark realities of post-war chaos, the novel traces a journey from revenge to redemption, challenging readers to question what it means to fight for a future where humanity might finally forgive itself. As Jim Bolden faces impossible odds in Argentina and Lew Weinman deceives the Nazis in a high-stakes game of espionage, the true enemy reveals itself — a force more dangerous than any nation. Together, they must choose between the path of destruction or the fragile promise of peace.

Discover the remarkable history of the Battle of Jutland… Free BONUS Inside!

The Battle of Jutland, fought near Denmark’s Jutland peninsula in 1916, was unique in the First World War as the only major battle to be fought at sea. The British Royal Navy was then known as the master of the seas and had been for decades due to its mighty number of ships and devastating arsenal of weaponry. The British were confident about their abilities at sea and had total faith in their Grand Fleet. However, this confidence had turned into complacency.

In the years before the First World War began, the Germans had tried to increase their production to match the British. Their navy got close and became the only one in the world that could challenge the Royal Navy on the seas. In the lead-up to the Battle of Jutland, the Germans were learning how to engage the British ships from clashes at Heligoland Bight and Dogger Bank. In this book, you will read about these battles, the personalities of the men involved, the planning, and the skirmishes that finally led to the confusion and devastating loss of life at the Battle of Jutland.
