He saw too much. Now they won’t stop until he’s gone. Petru Janco was ready to vanish into witness protection. Instead, he’s running for his life after a brutal ambush leaves him the sole survivor—and the only link to bringing down a ruthless Balkan crime lord. From the alleyways of Bucharest to the streets of Vancouver, hired guns are closing in. Petru knows too much. And the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the corruption he's up against isn’t just criminals—it’s the people sworn to protect him. He’s alone, hunted, and trapped in a country he barely knows. With time running out before the trial, Petru must make one impossible choice after another. If he fails, justice dies with him. Relentless, gritty, and packed with tension, The Catalin Crossing is the explosive third installment in Trevor Douglas’s Catalin Series—where bullets fly, lies unravel, and survival is the only rule. _________________________________________ Praise for the Catalin Series: ? ? ? ? ?

When a local businessman is found murdered on the outskirts of the sleepy Wadhurst, former detective Rowan Whitecross doesn’t expect to be drawn into the case. Still recovering from trauma and suffering from patchy amnesia, Whitecross has returned to his childhood home to settle his late aunt’s estate—and escape the ghosts of a career that ended too soon in London. But the past has other plans. Teaming up with local sergeant Jem Robson, Whitecross soon realises the killing is anything but random. As the investigation deepens, he uncovers links to a shadowy local elite, a buried scandal, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his own father’s death—an accident that never sat quite right. With a crucial piece of his memory missing, Whitecross must navigate fraught relationships, buried secrets, and rising tensions between the local force and senior brass, who seem intent on shutting the case down. The truth, it seems, is more dangerous than anyone imagined. As pressure mounts and the town begins to turn in on itself, Whitecross is forced to decide: will he walk away again, or risk everything to uncover what really happened on Stark Street?
Suddenly, here I am with most of my life in the rear-view mirror and not much road left ahead. I am wondering-ok, "What's it all about, Alfie?" This is an attempt to answer that question and to leave something behind that might be of some use. At the age of seventy-eight, Trevor Shaw, a husband, father, and grandfather; an accountant; an auditor; a manager; a teacher; an artist; a photographer; and a student in the martial arts of Wing Chun and Tai Chi, reflects on life. From the personal to the political, from the micro to the macro, he discusses what he's learned throughout his life and what he thinks of where we're headed next. After a long life well lived, he offers wit and wisdom for some grounding in the escalating chaos of today's world, along with what is needed for an individual to cope and for making the world a better place. Delivered in a highly readable, warm, sharply-communicated style with a voice that's pleasant to encounter and a point of view that's always thought provoking, Reflections is often not only helpful on a personal level but includes some highly cogent, well-informed, and incisive reflections on life in general, along with a frank analysis about where we're headed next.

European Defence Cooperation (1984) considers the varied elements of European defence cooperation and the obstacles to further development of a European pillar within NATO. It argues that closer cooperation would alleviate several problems, including differences between the US and Europe; public unease about defence policies; and constraints on defence expenditure. With references to four areas (nuclear weapons and strategy, arms control, conventional forces and out-of-area activities) it discusses the prospects for increased cooperation, and makes proposals for changes in policy and in institutional arrangements.

The concept of travelling in a random manner is not new but what if the five, ten or fifty places to be visited have been chosen by drawing letters of the alphabet from a hat to identify the first letters of each location? And then and only then are the actual place names revealed and their location on the map identified. And to add a necessary degree of discipline each and every place must be visited however uninteresting or remote it may seem to be. No convenient substitutions allowed, no deletions, no 'ifs or buts'. A recipe for disaster surely? At least a waste of precious time and precious funds? Follow Sas and Bro on their 50 day odyssey covering 11,500 km to visit 60 randomly selected locations in New Zealand. And find out what they discovered on their random journey.
