“This work of historical fiction opens with a tale of gripping terror then chronicles the story of the lives of the
protagonists and their families which become intertwined during the last half of the twentieth century, moving back and forth
between America and Japan. Secret Players is about international intrigue and behind-the-scenes power run amok. But it is
also a metaphor for the hate existent in the modern world of terror. The finale is between the two men and their wives who
intervene and shakes the reader in light of 9/11.”
According to the book description of
The Advisor (Cô-vân), “Fighting for freedom, Commander Blake Lawrence, an oceangoing
destroyer officer, adapts to a foreign culture and treacherous riverine guerrilla warfare in the Rung Sat Special Zone (RSSZ)
to fight the Vietcong and his own admiral to protect the most strategic river in the Vietnam War. Set during the last days
of the war, Blake and his Marine and sailor advisors turn over their equipment and fly back to America believing they have
left their counterparts in the South strong enough to defend themselves. In 1975, back at sea in command of a destroyer, Blake
witnesses "Black April," the loss of South Vietnam's freedom.” According to the book description of Madam President and the Admiral,
“Madam President and the Admiral is a powerful, unforgettable political military thriller about a woman president who
sends her lover to war against China. "Let me play this back," President Cass said as she scanned
her advisors. “Russia and China are poised to fight over a border dispute and an oil pipeline. If war breaks out, they
will need to replace that oil. They expand by taking the Spratly Islands, then take control of the mid-East oil trade route
and risk a world war? China fights Russia and takes us and Taiwan on at the same time? None of it makes sense." She took
a deep breath. "I have followed China and this is out of character. This could be about oil or property, or both, but
my take is it’s about something else. Something we’ve never faced before. As commander-in-chief, I will decide.”
According to the book description of
International Business: A Manager's Guide to Strategy in the Age of Globalism, “This book is designed
to explain to managers the international business system. The book covers all aspects of modern international business including
the USSR's entry into the free world market, the expansion of economic integration such as EC-92 and NAFTA. This title
shows how nation/state boundaries are overlaid by a global business system resulting in an international trade linkage to
economic development. Subject matter is treated in terms of how businesses can and do interact with governments which use
laws to manipulate business for their nation's economic advantage.”
