In November, 1944, the Japanese began launching 9,300 unmanned bomb-carrying balloons (Fugo) that were carried east over the Pacific Ocean by the jet stream. The bombs were intended to drop over America and explode, causing forest fires, general panic and deaths. However, without a reliable guidance system, most of the balloons did not reach North America. The US Government suppressed information about the project, and fortunately most of the bombs fell into the ocean or exploded harmlessly. Only six deaths occurred. Japan stopped the launches in 1945. Now, almost 70 years later, a group of terrorists using modern computer technology and the latest GPS guidance systems will try and succeed where the Japanese failed. It will be up to an unlikely group, including the President, the National Security Advisor, the Secretaries of Defense for both the United States and Russia, and the sister of the terrorist mastermind, herself a recent recruit for the CIA, to find a way to stop one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on US soil.

Warning: Many of this book's contents previously offended certain people when they were first published on the op-ed and commentary pages of various newspapers, and may still pose a threat to cherished credos and deeply entrenched beliefs. Those who come into contact with them may thus risk having their assumptions assaulted, opinions upended, and prejudices pummeled. Many readers, however, may be both entertained and enlightened by the challenge to conventional wisdom and platitude-plagued attitudes that this collection of essays offers. Who knew, for example, that the FDA is championed by the very industries it regulates, that a certain "Mr. Quaker" once was going around delivering a militaristic message to high-school assemblies, or that committing small, random acts of benevolence could land you in jail? But just keep in mind that these dissertations are still every bit as dangerous to various dogmas and delusions as they were when they first appeared in print - and are fully capable of offending again.

When a dusty whirlwind wraps around a pretty girl on the plains of northwest Texas, short-haul trucker Brady Drake is amused by its entertainment potential. But when she disappears into the rapidly intensifying twister his sense of amusement turns to terror. Hunted by supernatural beings and persecuted by law enforcement, Brady fights for survival while uncovering secrets within his own family. One fateful stop at a desolate convenience store sends Brady Drake careening down the highway on a thrill-ride that will frighten him to the brink of insanity. Engage yourself in a journal written by a desperate man facing powerful events he has no way of understanding. Accompany him as he encounters proof that life is an eternal journey, and that one does not escape the evil deeds left behind. Heed one man's warning that immediate events are compounded upon the past and that vengeful spirits lurk in the shadows of our souls. Sometimes these shadows manifest into the physical world and when they do... untold havoc can be unleashed and demons released upon the unsuspecting.

Some people never "grow out of faerie tales." For some, they're a part of everyday life and there's no escaping the magic and mystery that lurk around every corner.

There's no telling what surprises and horrors lie around every nook and cranny of this book. The tales within are designed to amuse and delight, inspire and entertain, and remind us that magic is only ever a pixie's wing away.
