A Story in the The Amulets of Power Universe
Bill and Suenee are stationed at two different locations before joining some of their old friends to go to Luang Phrabang to aid the Amulets in their secret fight against the North Vietnamese. This is Part 2 of the prequel to the Amulets of Power.

One of the triumphs of civilization is the ability for people in larger and larger groups to come together for the common good. Of course, people being people, some need convincing more than others and over the course of time forms of compulsion have been used when all else fails. When all parties can kill each other, compulsion has to come in more workable ways, where one can skip some of the usual baggage. Less common means, such as extortion, might find a place, no matter how unpalatable.

A story in the Lucky Jim Universe
Okay, okay. So many readers have suggested that I write a futuristic space-age Lucky Jim that I started several different versions and managed to complete two. This one seems to be the best fit for the Lucky Jim series, although it's a bit different. Space opera set far in the future. While previous Lucky Jims are mentioned, and a general knowledge off the LJ series is helpful, its not necessary to enjoy this story.
