Synopsis coming soon.......
Five years after the death of Jacob King, the mysteries surrounding his forty-year disappearance and subsequent murder continue to unfold. The CIA has confiscated the video of Err's message, but when it learns that another recording exists, operatives are dispatched to secure it. The information the agents receive, however, is misleading. They think they're fighting terrorism; they don't know that they're suppressing evidence of alien contact. Grieving Jacob's death, his partner, Scott Mulligan, finds a renewed sense of happiness with the birth of his daughter. But that happiness is short-lived. The forces that killed Jacob and took the video of Err also try to rob Scott of the one true joy in his world when they threaten his daughter's life. As the operatives and those they recruit carry out their missions in the interest of national security, they discover that the motives behind their orders are not as just as they believe. What in Err's message is worth going to such extrordinary lengths to conceal?When Hasheed Viaz the man in charge of the operation finds out the truth behind his mission he is engulfed in a tragedy of conscience. Wanting to show that an American Muslim could be as patriotic as the best American he finds his efforts have led to the most horrific murders imaginable. Do good motives modify in any way the guilt of the crime? Who is ultimately responsible? The people following orders thinking they are fighting terrorism, or the people formulating those orders even if in the long run their efforts might save countless lives. And, if they turn out wrong what happens then? For every action there is a reaction. Consequences always ensure. Scott and the following books Da-vid and Erron examine what can happen and take the reader on a journey. It is unexpected, exciting and perhaps prophetic. You will meet some wonderful characters exposed to these situations. How they cope can be a lesson for all of us.
What happens when you try to fix the past and end up threatening your future? Scott is struggling. Grieving the loss of his brother, carrying the weight of his father's expectations, and getting his ass kicked in the rink, he's in a downward spiral. He needs a solution and fast, but when his steroid use is exposed, he's close to losing his place at Owatonna and more importantly, on the Eagles Hockey team. Thrown out of his house, with nowhere to go and no future in sight, he only has one choice; agree to mandatory counseling, random drug tests, and get his act together. Only then will he have a chance at normal. Meeting Hayne, a senior connected to the world through his art, is a shock to the system. Moving in with him is his only option, but falling for the shy artist leaves Scott in an impossible situation, and one he can't escape. Hayne has always been that quiet, creative kid who sat in the back of class drawing instead of listening to the teacher. A talented artist, the shy and sensitive young man is struggling with the loss of his childhood friend. Seeing his sadness reflected in his usually colorful paintings, he decides to attend grief counseling and meets Scott, a lost soul in desperate need of light and color in his life. Taking in a homeless hockey player certainly was never part of his carefully orchestrated ten-year plan. But now that Scott is in his life, he's discovering the joy of this man's loving smile and tender touch is one of the most beautiful palettes on earth.

Scott Fitzgerald, a romantic and tragic figure who embodied the decades between the two world wars, was a writer who took his material almost entirely from his life. Despite his early success with The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald battled against failure and disappointment. This book, by the acclaimed biographer of Hemingway, is the first to analyze frankly the meaning as well as the events of Fitzgerald's life and to illuminate the recurrent patterns that reveal his inner self. Meyers emphasizes Fitzgerald's alcoholism, Zelda's illnesses and her doctors, Fitzgerald's love affairs both before and after her breakdown, and his wide-ranging friendships, from the polo star Tommy Hitchcock to the Hollywood executive Irving Thalberg. His writer friends included Ring Lardner, John Dos Passos, James Joyce, Edith Wharton, and Dorothy Parker. His friend and lifelong hero, Ernest Hemingway, was a harsh critic of both his behavior and his novels, but Fitzgerald accepted this with remarkable humility. Meyers portrays the volatile connection between these two writers and Fitzgerald's marriage to the schizophrenic Zelda with insight and poignancy. Meyers also discusses Fitzgerald's fascinating relationship with his daughter, Scottie. Exercising a fine critical balance, he details Fitzgerald's weaknesses but ultimately reveals a man capable of fierce loyalty and great moral courage.
Scott Fitzgerald follows the life of one of America's most enduring authors, from his early years in St Paul and at Princeton to New York in the twenties, the French Riviera, Baltimore, and finally Hollywood.
