Dr Daniel Gibbs is one of 50 million people worldwide with an Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. Unlike most patients with Alzheimer’s, however, Dr Gibbs worked as a neurologist for twenty-five years, caring for patients with the very disease now affecting him. Also unusual is that Dr Gibbs had begun to suspect he had Alzheimer’s several years before any official diagnosis could be made. Forewarned by genetic testing showing he carried alleles that increased the risk of developing the disease, he noticed symptoms of mild cognitive impairment long before any tests would have alerted him. In this highly personal account, Dr Gibbs documents the effect his diagnosis has had on his life and explains his advocacy for improving early recognition of Alzheimer’s. Weaving clinical knowledge from decades caring for dementia patients with his personal experience of the disease, this is an optimistic tale of one man’s journey with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
The battle for truth was only the beginning.
Captain James Henry has finally gained what he long desired – redemption. Yet not even his restored military honors and reputation can wipe away the bitter taste in his mouth after fifteen years weighed down by guilt and shame. Whereas others now recognize him as a legitimate hero, all Jim sees when he looks at the man in the mirror is a coward. If he’d stood up for what was right in the first conflict, countless lives would’ve never been lost.
But not even the truth will bring back the dead – or restore a shattered trust.
Before deep-seated betrayal sends Jim to the bottom of another whiskey bottle, the past again rears its ugly head when the Shadow Wolf’s first mate is kidnapped by an unholy enemy alliance. To rescue her from their clutches, Jim swallows his injured pride and accepts assistance from an unlikely source.
One that still reeks with the stench of duplicity.
The fate of Jim’s first mate is sealed when treachery abounds from every galactic quadrant, and her very life is wrenched from her control for a more sinister intent. When captain and crew rush in to extract their comrade, they’ll face down an enemy they never saw coming – and suffer a soul-crushing loss.
Can Jim overcome it all, and save his crew one more time?
It takes more than truth to serve justice.
Captain James Henry is left stinging after the latest firefight. However, lost cargo and payments mean little as a disturbing message reaches into neutral space – his uncle is dying. Uncle Charlie was the one who saved his life after Jim’s disgraceful dismissal from the Coalition Defense Force. He owes the man an enormous debt for giving him renewed purpose.
But only the dead can pay the Ferryman.
Regardless of the risks, Jim and the crew of the Shadow Wolf return to New Virginia to offer final farewells. But the lies that forced him from his homeland continue to taunt, and the schemers buried in the CDF are convinced he’s returned to throw a wrench into their carefully laid plans. Plans positioned long ago like pieces on a chess board.
Ready to be played.
Jim’s resurgence triggers deception from every sector. His old CDF crew from the Laffey, who’ve never forgotten their CO’s sacrifice, are rounded up and imprisoned, while Jim is dragged from his uncle’s bedside. But deceit goes too far when the heart of the Shadow Wolf is threatened.
Now it’s a race to rescue the wrongfully accused and expose the long-hidden truth in a galactic game where there is no second place.
And the heart of the Terran Coalition lies in the balance.
What once was his downfall becomes their saving grace.
Hard-fought skirmishes leave Captain James Henry and the Shadow Wolf limping into Lusitania’s port. Payday awaits once the undercover operative is safely delivered planetside to brief authorities on the League of Sol’s activities within neutral territory. But Jim learned long ago never to take anything at face value.
Especially with allies and enemies.
The Lusitanian Parliament bombing left unknown survivors, requiring martial law until new elections restore the fractured government. Chaos is the order of the day, proving the League is more than making inroads in this sector of the galactic arm.
Their advance is imminent.
The only way to stop the League from invading is for the Shadow Wolf to make a break for Trinidad Station and muster an army of pirates and privateers. But convincing them to fight for something other than profit is a battle Jim isn’t sure he’ll win, especially when converting enemies to allies requires trust against a highly trained military machine.
Now Captain Henry must marshal his former CDF experience to build a new coalition and outwit an enemy in a way they’ll never expect.
He’ll change the rules of engagement – and take the fight to the League.
If you love Babylon 5, The Expanse, and Destroyermen, you must listen to “Breach of Faith,” a space opera sci-fi series that will take you to the heart of duty, sacrifice, and the unseen scars of those who serve.
Everything is on the table when survival's at stake.
Captain James Henry is caught between a rock and a hard place – again. Merchant ships operating in neutral space near the Terran Coalition and the League of Sol are disappearing without a trace. The latest report has something the others didn’t.
A survivor.
When news reaches the planet Lusitania during a cargo offload, Captain Henry and the Shadow Wolf’s crew are hired to extract the surviving operative before she’s silenced and the information she has is lost.
But too many opposing forces are at work within the faction-torn republic – and they all want a piece of the prize.
With directives from multiple government contacts, Captain Henry concedes to protect his ragtag crew. Years ago, he surrendered to dishonor and dismissal from the Coalition Defense Force in order to protect his fellow officers. This time he knows how to play the game.
To save his band of brothers and sisters, Jim must walk a fine line between the operative’s survival and the threats against his crew from the League of Sol.
Before the time to negotiate runs out.
