Book excerpt: Spring 1858, Nantucket Island. Just outside of the harbor, a ship is approaching. She is the Elizabeth James, a trading vessel, home to Jeptha Dawes after two years in the South Sea Islands. But the Elizabeth James will not be enjoying the welcoming lights of Nantucket Town this night, because the cargo carried by the Yankee clipper ship is not just silks and spices. It's something that the ship's dying captain has sworn must never be allowed to set foot in the town of his birth. It is a cargo of pure evil.... Summer 1968, Cape Cod. Mick and Bridget ride on a 650 cc BSA motorcycle as it roars them over the Bourne Bridge spanning the Cape Cod Canal. They don't care about everyday life. They're on vacation, heading for a well-deserved rest, far away from city cares and hassles. They've picked out a quiet little town halfway up the Cape Cod peninsula. There, they plan to relax in a quaint white clapboard inn, surrounded by beach plums and primroses, encircled by nothing but sand, sea, and each other. Peace, quiet, and safety. Or so they think. What they don't know is that they're riding smack dab into the middle of trouble.... And something that's been waiting...for 110 years.

Book excerpt: Independent industrial researcher, Thomas Aquinas Malone has only one thing on his mind: To attend the ultra exclusive Beacon Hill auction and take ownership of a sperm whale tooth etched by the iconic 18th century harpooner, Henry Frye. But at the auction, he finds that the tooth is coveted by two other formidable rivals: a beautiful heiress, Suzanne Bartholomew and a mysterious German who wins the tooth robbing Malone of his prize. Undaunted by the loss, Malone leaves for Nantucket Island to locate the seller of the Frye tooth and discover if another exists. Little does he suspect that his search for the tooth will put his life at risk and he on the path of a new quest: to beat the German to a pirates' horde in treasure and stop the madman from resurrecting the Third Reich.

This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-ship Essex is an account by first mate Owen Chase of the Essex, a whale ship from Nantucket, Massachusetts, that was sunk by a sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean near South American in 1820. Of the twenty-man crew, only eight survived the horrific ordeal; some men were stranded on an island, all remaining crew were forced to eat food tainted by seawater and drink their own urine, and finally, when members of the crew started dying, those still alive resorted to cannibalism until they were rescued. Narrative of the Whale-ship Essex inspired Herman Melville to write his enduring classic Moby-Dick in 1851; it also inspired the 2015 movie In the Heart of the Sea, based on the 2000 best-selling book of the same name.
