Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient shipwreck. A two hundred year old mystery. A plague that’s destroying all marine life. A pyramid half a mile below the sea. And a puzzle that must be solved before it destroys the human race. On the 18th of February, 1812, the Emily Rose became shipwrecked on the southern coast of Australia. The survivors are forced to walk nearly a thousand miles through the unexplored land to reach the only settlement, Sydney Cove. Nearly two hundred miles inland, they come across the remains of a monstrous ship, far bigger than anything the British Navy had ever constructed. Through basic communication achieved with the natives, they learned that the ship had been there for a very long time… Maybe a thousand years? Despite the details of the mysterious ship in the journals from the survivors of the Emily Rose, no evidence that the Mahogany Ship ever existed was found – until now. Present day: A mining exploration in Australia takes a core sample 500 feet below the surface of a deserted mountain. The sample returns no evidence of gold deposits, but something much more valuable – a single Spanish Gold coin, dated 1518. Could the origins of this coin finally reveal the existence of the fabled Mahogany Ship? At the same time, Sam Reilly and his team of ocean investigators are exploring the cause of a widespread death of sea life within the Gulf of Mexico. In a race against time to stop the irrevocable destruction of the world’s marine life, the two mysteries may just be entangled, and failure to solve them both will result in the greatest threat to ever face the human race.

Book excerpt: En route to the family's summer holiday camp at Frigate Bay, Robert Cabriata reads a newspaper report that a shipwreck has been found at the front beach: could the wreck possibly be the fabled Mahogany Ship? Although the report turns out to be a red herring, the government puts up a reward of fifty thousand dollars to whoever finds the mysterious ship, and Frigate Bay, afloat with tourists, becomes gripped with treasure-hunting. Robert, swept along by this mystery, gets a spellbinding clue from the elderly Frigate Bay campground caretaker, and determines that he will find the Mahogany Ship and claim the reward. But Robert is only thirteen, and finds himself battling a pirate, the peculiar Crabapple boys, and a town full of treasure-seekers. What's more, he has to grapple with his sudden interest in girls, a body raging with hormones, and a world he's unsure of.

Book excerpt: The Mahogany Ship legend is questioned by the authors: why are the elements of the Foundation story inconsistent and improbable? Why are the recollections of the dozen people who offered their testimony about the supposed wreck so conflicted? Linked with this story, whaling at Griffiths Island at Port Fairy was undertaken by speculators from Launceston in 1836. John Griffiths and Michael Connolly established the whaling station and also commenced farming on the hinterland, but overreach and the 1840s economic collapse brought them both to insolvency. Alexander Campbell, John Cox and Walter Chiene are the other adventurers whose exploits are detailed in this story of the first entrepreneurs at Port Fairy

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • The first full history of Black America’s shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment. No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read this masterful book. "[Washington] has unearthed a shocking amount of information and shaped it into a riveting, carefully documented book." —New York Times From the era of slavery to the present day, starting with the earliest encounters between Black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, Medical Apartheid details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge—a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how Blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of Blacks. Shocking new details about the government’s notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions. The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout that has caused Black Americans to view researchers—and indeed the whole medical establishment—with such deep distrust.
