Synopsis

In "The Life of the Outlaw (Boxed Set)", George W. Ogden masterfully navigates the complex tapestry of outlaw culture in the American West. This comprehensive collection artfully interweaves historical narrative, vivid character studies, and evocative prose, transporting readers into an era defined by lawlessness and adventure. Ogden's meticulous research is evident throughout the text, as he draws on primary sources and folklore, providing not only a factual recounting but also an immersive experience of the sociopolitical dynamics at play within the outlaw communities. George W. Ogden, a noted historian and author specializing in American frontier history, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal passion to his work. His extensive background'Äîrooted in both archival research and a fascination with the myths surrounding the Wild West'Äîhas profoundly influenced his approach to capturing the essence of these legendary figures. Ogden's ability to humanize outlaws, portraying them as multifaceted characters rather than mere criminals, is a testament to his depth of understanding and appreciation for this unique aspect of American heritage. This boxed set is highly recommended for both scholars and casual readers seeking a deeper insight into the lives of American outlaws. Ogden's engaging style and rich narrative detail offer an exceptional exploration of a fascinating yet often romanticized segment of history, making it an essential addition to any library dedicated to understanding the complexity of the American experience.

    Shadows of Villisca 
    Historical Mystery Novel Inspired by Real Events 
    In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, history never truly sleeps. 
    Over a century after the infamous 1912 axe murders shocked the nation, investigative researcher Alex Hartman and forensic scholar Dr. Samuel Graves arrive in Villisca chasing rumors of something older and darker than anyone had ever imagined. 
    When a modern family is found murdered in a chilling copy of the past, their investigation spirals into a tangled web of cryptic journals, forbidden sermons, and a long-forgotten traveling carnival that once passed through town... but did it ever leave? 
    As Alex and Graves peel back layers of buried truth, they uncover evidence of a blood covenant that links past and present, and a ritual still very much alive. Haunted by warnings left in fragile letters and ancient sermons, they must race to expose the sinister force at the heart of Villisca before they become the next chapter in its bloody legend. 
    History has teeth. And in Villisca, it's ready to bite again.

    June 1945. Hitler has triumphed, Britain is under German occupation and America cowers under the threat of nuclear attack. 
     
     
     
    In the dead of night, a figure flits through the ruins of Dryburgh Abbey, searching for a hidden document he knows could change the course of history. The journal he discovers, by a young soldier, David Erskine, records an extraordinary story. 
     
     
     
    When the Allies drive the Germans out of France and victory seems imminent, Erskine is in Antwerp, where he witnesses a world-changing reversal of fortune. From a high vantage point, he watches a huge mushroom cloud rise over London: an atomic bomb has been detonated by the Germans in a last desperate roll of the dice. 
     
     
     
    Captor becomes captive and Erskine is held as a POW in his own land. As the brutal grip of the occupying forces tightens, he is determined to join the resistance. A daring escape leads him and his fiancée Katie on a breathless chase to the university town of St. Andrews, where the Germans have established a secret research laboratory. When it becomes clear what its purpose is, David, Katie, and their small, trusted band must adopt a desperate and audacious plan to thwart Nazi domination . . .

    Not everything they told you is true… 
    …because it was my job to ensure you never knew the whole truth. If the American people understood what really happened, the U.S. government feared life would have irrevocably changed for the worse. 
    In Space Chase, the premier installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind a mysterious Lockheed U-2 "Dragon Lady" crash in the mountains of Nevada and the extreme efforts the U.S. government went through to hide what happened. Space Chase—also known as Event 21 Zeta—is the first in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever. 
    Never heard of Palmdale? The author isn't surprised, and believes you never will outside of these short stories. The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.
