In this book, we get to follow his extensive coverage of the Arab Spring, of Gaza, the West Bank and the “frozen” wars in Ukraine and the Crimea; natural disasters in Haiti, riots in the Congo, political unrest in Lebanon and suffering in Afghanistan; new light is shed on the seemingly intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In the autumn of 2016 he was reminded of the risks photographers and journalists are exposed to, when he was shot by a sniper outside of Mosul.

Former Navy pilot, Jack Riley, an Afghanistan war vet, drove to Georgia for a belated graveside ceremony for his wingman, Gabe, KIA three years before. He felt lucky to get the last motel room in the tiny Georgia town.

Finding love and a ready-made family was not on his radar. Violent and unexpected PTSD reactions complicate an already difficult new relationship for both.

Set in the chaotic times following 9/11, five young adults face a daunting mission to open contact between Earth and Star people. Can Ariel, a girl of both Star and human DNA, and Josh, son of the Air Force Chief of Staff, use their natural and learned skills as Star Kids to succeed in spite of attacks from entrenched power brokers? Ariel is challenged to become the Star People's Ambassador to Earth. Raised on a Starship and shocked when at age 17 she first discovers her human mother, Ariel struggles with what it means to be a hybrid human. Human emotions, belonging to a family, falling in love, her first kiss, and learning English, are all part of navigating in a culture unimagined on the Mothership. Guided by Star people, Ariel is joined by four other young adults: Josh, whose mission includes designing and prototyping a practical hydrogen engine to change the nature of energy use on earth; Jessica's brash, plucky spirit helps her survive a rocket attack; Robert's unfailing sense of humor augments his keen mind and computer skills; Sarah, a sensitive, is adept at remote viewing and psychic perception. Telepathic from infancy, Ariel must confront her fears for her own safety and that of her friends before she can use her unique talents to survive kidnapping and attacks by corrupt officials of the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and finally by an aging former member of the Nazi Youth who now holds great power in the petroleum and financial industries in the US. Pilots will enjoy following Ariel, Josh, and Jessica as they learn to first fly airplanes, then the saucer. In her final step into the Ambassador role, Ariel meets with the new president-elect of the United States at Camp David.
