John Campbell is a middle-aged jazz DJ, while Victoria Stone does likewise, but spins classical instead. Each work for separate radio stations, but both under the same parent media partners. They enjoy one another's on-air programs, but only really interact together annually at company holiday festivities. On one such occasion, they are selected as MC hosts of the corporate Christmas party. They're such a hit as a duo, they're chosen to audition for a radio theater project the company wants to participate in. They land the role, but once they go live with it, strange things begin to happen. Namely, a literal transference of John & Victoria from their present day in the 1980s - to the 1950s setting of the radio theater story - the Korean War! When they leave the recording studio that day, they find themselves IN THE 50s, 30 years YOUNGER, and matching the youthful richness of their on-air VOICES! After a time, they find themselves as witnesses - to the first use of atomic weaponry since 1945 - there, IN Korea!

Canada, a NATO ally known for attention to population safety and cutting edge biowarfare programs, has recently finished their newest P3 lab.

Anthony Stillwater, just returned from SERE and Jungle Warfare training in Panama, has been tasked with escorting members of a NATO ally's Biowarfare team to the newly constructed facility. It's a cakewalk, just escort biowarfare samples from the CDC in Atlanta to the new Canadian biowarfare facility, and then return to Europe. But it's Special Weapons. And nothing is ever easy.

Cold War Era Russian scientists have made the biggest scientific discovery the world could ever know. The answers they learn may not be the ones we need to know. This is just a very short story I for some practice, but ended up loving. I hope you do too!

No one would describe Gina Lawrence as a sweet and blushing girl-next-door. But even Gina, so worldly and street-wise, had to admit God's Island went way beyond anything she could have imagined. It existed at a time long before the dawning of Club Med and the free-loving hippie anything goes movement--a time when global tensions had reached breaking point. Amid terrifying nuclear brinkmanship, Sam Godsteen's Island promised Club Med and more-much more. And like all forbidden fruit, it was bound to end. Gina thought she'd found heaven on earth. Even when things started to fall apart she tried to ignore the signs. She'd drawn about herself a cocoon of indulgence-a personal paradise on a tropical island- where only a select few would share a wild ride of emotion-filled excitement. A deceptive place, devoid of law and social structure, that would quickly and violently transform, leaving only a vast ocean in which to run and hide. Sheer survival quickly replaces her blinkered fool's paradise, culminating in a hellish ordeal of death and deprivation, leaving her little choice. Gina must kill or be killed. God's Island to Devil's Island in the blink of an eye.

Staff Sergeant Stillwater, formerly of Special Weapons, now haunts the edge of the Special Projects, working on dismantling the Special Weapons program. Among such projects is the long standing FEMA mandate. Continuity of the United States government even after a nuclear war. That has led him to the Rocky Mountains, to an old abandoned and forgotten underground facility. Built by FEMA in the 1950's, what scattered data exists suggests its a small facility, one or two levels. A quick job so that Stillwater can return to the arms of his young wife. Except that an old family saying is about to come true. Old dark places Attract old dark things.

Set during the 1940s the start, of the cold war, the story shows the reader how much the following events, affected the characters life. Koyla, a fourteen year old Russian soviet soldier, persits throughout the story, right till the very end.

Paul Foster is a 17 year old boy, a white trash high school dropout without even a GED to his name, an adulteress ex-wife he married at 16, uncaring (at best) parents, who's left behind his hometown for what he felt would be an uncaring world. Once finished with Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training, he finds himself assigned to 2/19th Special Weapons Group and figures that nothing in an uncaring world matters. Exposed to nerve agent. Fighting Soviet soldiers over control of a 15 square mile section of Western Germany. Seeing friends die. The crushing weight of his duties in an uncaring military steadily grinds away at him. However, in the fire and blood of the hell of 2/19th he finds a small spark. A dancing firefly in the middle of misery and terror that has wound around him and held his heart in her tiny hands. Amid the blood and gunfire of a war that nobody knows or cares about, he's found friends and his place in the world. But now he has to return home. To a past he tried to leave behind. When everything goes bad, the tormentors of his past quickly discover the simple fact of 2/19th. Like his fellow soldiers, Paul Foster may look like a man, but he isn't. He's a weapon.

She was a ghost in the machinery of the Cold War. Officially, she was a translator for a British cultural exchange programme. Unofficially, she was an undercover agent of the British Secret Intelligence Service... MI6. Her cover was perfect: earnest, slightly bookish, fluent in German with a charming, hesitant accent. She attended dreary receptions, translated banal speeches on artistic cooperation, and smiled politely at Stasi officers who eyed her with a mixture of suspicion and condescension. They saw a pretty young woman from a soft, decadent West. They did not see the woman who could pick a lock in thirty seconds, who could read a microdot with a pocket lens, empty the magazine of her Walther PPK into the centre ring of a target at fifty yards; and whose memory was a steel trap for faces, names, and whispered conversations.

The Atlas crew has been torn apart. Most have ETS'd or left the military due to injuries incurred in line of duty. Of the original crew, only a handful remain. Trauma and shared pain have begun to drive apart the surviving members of Echo-Five-Actual. The Atlas Crew, mostly wiped out in a deadly explosion the year before, is fragmenting as promotions, replacements, and drop on requests have left the crew with more new faces than old. Those who remain of Echo-Five-Actual have been split into different work crews, promoted, ETS's, left due to injuries, or died. Accidents and a coordinated strike by the KGB have wreaked havoc on III CosCom, VII Corps and V Corps ability to wage war if the Soviet Union decides to invade Western Europe, and this has hit 2/19th hard. With most of the effective and experienced members dead, missing, or in the hospital, 2/19th's chain of command is shattered and people have slipped through the cracks. Including Stillwater, who is trapped, alone, on the mountain. And Cromwell, who is locked in the War Fighter Tunnels with 18 women, 7 of them pregnant, three infants, and two male soldiers undergoing chapters to put them out of the military. Bomber and Nagle are hospitalized, having barely survived the attacks that killed many other members of the unit. Bomber is comatose, the bullet meant to kill him trapping him in memories and dreams of the past. Nagle is in ICU, unable to speak after having been shot through the throat. Now, they don't even have each other. And nobody is coming to the rescue. Author's Note: Thanks to Twitter user @tikibomber for providing me with a Gaelic/English dictionary. http://www.focloir.ie/
