First published in 1971 as Ground Zero Man, this novel was revies by the author and published in 1985 as The Peace Machine. It is 1988, and an obscure scientist, Lucas Hutchman, has made a momentous discovery.

In a future on the brink of nuclear suicide (Damascus has just been wiped out by a terrorist nuclear bomb), the temptation is irresistible to use his invention as a gun held against the heads of the world’s leaders.

They will be forced to dismantle their weapons, and the world will breathe again. Very quickly,...

Description
A father is heartbroken after losing his young daughter, whom he thinks of as a beautiful pearl he can never get back. One day, while grieving in a garden, he falls asleep and dreams of a strange, perfect world where he meets her again—only now she appears as a glowing, peaceful young woman in heaven. She tries to comfort him, explaining that she’s safe and happy with God, and that her place there isn’t something she earned but rather was given through divine love. The father desperately wants to be with her again, but he struggles to fully understand and accept what she’s saying. When he tries to cross a river to reach her, he suddenly awakes.
The Pearl was written in the late 14th century by the unnamed Gawain Poet, the same...

Shortly after ex-spy Lang Reilly's sister dies in an explosion in her Paris home, a reproduction of a painting by the 17th-century artist Poussin, which his sister bought the day before she died and which includes an odd Latin inscription, disappears from Lang's home. With police and killers on his trail, Lang embarks on a journey to Italy to uncover the painting's secrets as well as its connection to his sister, enlisting the help of a former co-worker, the German killing-machine Gurt Fuchs. Somewhat dry excerpts from a medieval account of the Knights of the Temple punctuate the action, hinting that the mystery is more complex than Lang can imagine. The international setting and fast-paced action grip, and fortunately, Loomis's convincing protagonist possesses the intelligence and...

In suburban Georgetown a killer’s Reeboks whisper on the front floor of a posh home… In a seedy D.C. porno house a patron is swiftly garroted to death… The next day America learns that two of its Supreme Court justices have been assassinated. And in New Orleans, a young law student prepares a legal brief… To Darby Shaw it was no more than a legal shot in the dark, a brilliant guess. To the Washington establishment it was political dynamite. Suddenly Darby is witness to a murder—a murder intended for her. Going underground, she finds there is only one person she can trust—an ambitious reporter after a newsbreak hotter than Watergate—to help her piece together the deadly puzzle. Somewhere between the bayous of Louisiana and the White House’s inner...
