Book excerpt: Kelleys Island 1810-1861 - The courageous, poignant & often quirky lives of island pioneers - By Leslie Korenko This is the first in a series of history books about Kelleys Island Ohio. The book is a comprehensive, richly detailed, and surprisingly entertaining history of Kelleys Island, a small remote island in Lake Erie. Its history is told by the islanders, in their own words, gently blended with narrative text. You can read correspondence and letters to newspapers, as well as articles found in an incredible handwritten newspaper-The Islander. The island is now a resort, but 175 years ago it was the wilderness. There are stories of the early squatters who occupied this wild, unsettled and remote part of Ohio as well as first-hand accounts of the building of the Johnson's Island prison and a visit to the soldiers of the 38th Ohio stationed at Somerset Tennessee during the early days of the Civil War. Covering the period 1810-1861 over 160 illustrations.

Book excerpt: In 1944 a mysterious German raider from Hitler's pirate fleet disappears in the Caribbean. Years later, a Soviet frigate sinks off Grand Cayman Island.

There, he is drawn into the intrigue surrounding nefarious Jamaican drug lord, Pryce Clarke, and his surreptitious underwater activities in Boatswain's Bay off of DiveTech. At the same time, Moore stumbles across information regarding the missing German raider and uncovers a deadly Soviet Union plan for the United States during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
