1978, Jonestown. 909 dead-two children survive. Where are they now?In the shadow of one of history's darkest chapters, a chilling secret awaits... Two children, survivors of the Jonestown nightmare, fled through the treacherous jungles in Guyana to escape the madness. Upon their return to America, they were granted new identities, a fresh start, and the hope of a "second life."But almost forty years later, the past resurfaces in an unexpected and ominous way. In the heart of San Francisco, crime reporter Will Finch stumbles upon an abandoned Armani jacket in an inner-city playground. Little does he know that this seemingly innocuous discovery holds a cryptic message, one that threatens to shatter the lives of Will Finch and his partner Eve Noon - and make them the next victims of the Jonestown massacre. Inspired by true events, Second Life will grip you from the very first page and refuse to let go until you reach the final, heart-pounding sentence. D.F. Bailey masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense that catapults you on a mesmerizing journey from an historic catastrophe to a prophecy of mass annihilation. Second Life - where the past awakens, and the future teeters on the precipice of darkness. Author Q & A with D. F. BaileyQ: Your title, Second Life, hints at something more than a dreary 9-to-5 existence. How does it fit into your thriller series?DFB: The title is derived from an ancient quote by Confucius: "We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one." When I first read that sentence, I thought, now here's a different way of looking at things. It really struck me with its insight. When you consider our brief life here on Earth, this sort of awareness can inspire people to take up a cause. For good-or for evil. So I drew my title from it since it suggests a noir murder mystery. Q: You're known for your crime fiction series and psychological thrillers with a twist. How do they relate to the Jonestown disaster?DFB: Until 9-11 the Jonestown massacre marked the largest civilian slaughter in American history. It took place in South America, in a remote jungle in Guyana, but the victims were mostly Americans, followers of Jim Jones's Temple which was once based in San Francisco. Some argue that the event wasn't a massacre-that it was mass suicide-but over a third of the victims were children led to their deaths by their utterly deluded parents. The trite phrase, "They drank the Kool-Aid," is their enduring legacy. It serves to warn us of the malignant power of religious cults. Q: And two of those children escaped?DFB: That's the fictional premise. I wanted to explore what might happen to children who survived the disaster on November 18, 1978. That's where Will Finch comes in. If you've read the first three books in the series you know that Finch is not a superhero. However, he's smart, tough, determined. Bent, but not broken. Q: Other than Will Finch and Eve Noon, do any characters from the previous novels appear in Second Life?DFB: Absolutely. Fiona Page and Wally Gimbel are alive and kicking. And Gabe Finkleman, who was introduced in Lone Hunter, is now a rising force at the San Francisco eXpress. Q: I thought the first three books-Bone Maker, Stone Eater, and Lone Hunter-formed a trilogy. Does Second Life change your mystery and suspense series books into a quartet?DFB: No, the trilogy stands as a complete, three-part unit. Second Life is the first of what I hope will be a continuing thriller series that builds on the characters introduced in the trilogy. If you liked the trilogy, I think you'll enjoy Second Life, too.

US Army Garrison Patch Barracks, near Stuttgart, Germany, 2 a.m., January 11Sentries at the Main Gate of Patch Barracks had turned away the last of the local Fasching revelers an hour or so before, laughingly joking with them that the Barracks were too quiet for their parties. A few soldiers, somewhat worse for wear after joining the locals for the opening night of Germany's "Fifth Season", straggled in around midnight. They were cheerfully waved through the gate by the envious guards, who had pulled duty that night and didn't get to celebrate. Since then, the night had been still, only the night sounds typical of the region breaking the silence. The cell and radio tower behind the thick trees was lit by an eerie glow from the remains of the Fasching bonfire a few miles away. It would be six long hours until sunrise and their relief. The peace of the night lulled them to silence. Behind them, an eerie blue-white blinding flash bloomed. No sooner had it lit the night sky than the first sentry opened his mouth to ask, "What was that?"But the words never left his lips-before he'd even formed them, his lips, along with the rest of him, vanished. Had his mate not been meeting the same fate at the same time, he would have been shocked to see his comrade in arms evaporate into nihility. Every living being, structure, and object within an 800-yard radius of the epicenter disappeared as if he, she, or it had never been there. No one in the circumference of the blast zone survived to describe the beauty of the majestic, but fatal, blue-white flash. A few souls, lucky enough to be farther away, saw glimpses of it through the surrounding trees. No one knew what it was. The next person to arrive at the Main Gate of Patch Barracks found, much to his drunken confusion, nothing. No gate, no trees, no cell tower. No barracks. No buildings. No guards. Only emptiness. Not finding the Main Gate where he was sure it must be, the soldier sat down on the ground. Alcohol and rationality have never been good stablemates. His inebriated brain could not handle the duel, and mercifully, he passed out. He never heard the screams of pain and horror from the injured survivors far enough from the epicentre and fortunate enough to escape obliteration. Later, first responders approached with caution, finding the drunk soldier passed out where the gate should have been and the void beyond, which had always been occupied by buildings. They moved into the base to search for survivors. They found few, most of them critically injured and out of their minds with shock and confusion. Everyone capable of speaking asked the rescuers the question the rescuers had wanted to ask the survivors: What happened?THE NABATEAN SECRET, is a full-length novel, a nail-biting suspense-thriller about an ancient conspiracy set on total world domination, in every sense of the word - political, financial, energy, information technology...

In the year 106 AD, when the Roman legions marched on their capital at Petra, the Nabateans surrendered their empire to the Romans, without a fight, and according to historians ceased to exist.

Carter Devereux, with his knowledge of the City of the Giants and their library in the Egyptian desert is the only obstacle in the way to achieve their goals. Therefore, the order of the Council of the Covenant of Nabatea is clear; "We MUST have that information. All of it. Move in on Carter Devereux... and get it at all costs, up to and including the killing of everyone...."~~~THE ALBORAN CODEX, is the third book in the Carter Devereux series, the sequel to the best-seller Wolves of Freydis.

With a traitor in their midst who seems to stay one step ahead of them, it is a race against time for Carter Devereux and a team of Special Forces operators who must fight evils never before encountered.

It is the second book in J C Ryan's Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series, the sequel to Nothing New Under The Sun.

The more Carter Devereux, a professor of archeology, researches and studies the history of the human species, the more he becomes convinced that Solomon was onto something when he said: "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after." Ecclesiastes 1:9 -11 (Circa 940 BC). Carter's research and exploration into this history takes him to South America, India, and the Middle East, where he makes mind-boggling discoveries which challenge our entire view of human history. And before long, Carter finds himself with not only a large number of critics from across the world, but also a number of ardent followers. Through the ages kings, rulers, power seekers and governments, have been trying secretly, and sometimes not so secretly, to get their hands on artifacts believed to have immense power. Examples include the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant, Bachal Isu - the staff of Moses, carried by David, and the King of Kings, Jesus Christ, the Spear of Destiny, the time machine "the glock" created by the Germans during WWII, and ancient lost cities with hidden fortunes of gold and artifacts with unimaginable powers. There is a no shortage of unscrupulous, power hungry people who will do anything, including kill, to possess these relics- if they exist. Most frightening of them all are the ancient texts that speak of earth's destruction by nuclear weapons thousands of years ago. Do those nuclear weapons still exist? If so where are they? Can Carter Devereux discover them before anyone else can? ~~~ Nothing New Under The Sun is the first book in J C Ryan's Carter Devereux Mystery Thriller series: a full-length novel and a thought-provoking mystery about the discovery of antediluvian human civilizations and the terrifying consequences of digging up the past.
