    Since Test cricket began in 1877, there have been over three thousand players representing their countries in Test matches. World XIs tackles the daunting task of choosing the best of the best and coming up with the greatest team from each era (broadly decades) of Test cricket history and exploring these players in more detail. While the statistics for each decade are closely examined, some of the selection decisions are lineball and some greats of the game have missed selection in their respective XI. Who is the better fast bowler in the 1950s - England's Brian Statham or Australia's Ray Lindwall? Do you go for Abdul Qadir from Pakistan as a spinner, or does India's Kapil Dev's all-round ability secure him a 1980s spot? Is Rahul Dravid good enough to make the 2000s side?A second XI has been included for each era to show which legendary players missed selection and to help in the debate as to whether World XIs has got it right. With legends of the game such as W.G Grace in the 1800s; through to Don Bradman in the 1930s; the West Indies' three Ws in the 1950s; Imran Khan in the 1980s; and more recent greats such as Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, there are a wide variety of players represented through the ages. And to cap things off, there are a number of greatest-ever teams for you to mull over. World XIs is sure to cause some robust debate amongst cricket lovers the world over.

    Why you may ask, is the name of this novel "e;The Dark Side of the Moon"e;? The back side of the Moon is not dark, it receives as much sunlight as the front side does. The term "e;dark"e; is often used in Science to denote our lack of knowledge, such as in Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Because the moon's front side always faces earth until recently no human has been able to see the Moon's backside. That is until 1979 when the Soviet space probe Luna 3 took the first grainy photographs and in 1968 the Apollo 8 astronauts viewed the backside firsthand. Astronomers were shocked, for the backside looked nothing like the front side does, it was if the moon had been slapped together by two totally different processes. My novel takes place in the 6th decade of the 21st Century when NASA has funded Project Farside, an observatory to be built on the Moon's backside. Placed in the crater Daedalus, the Lemaitre Synoptic Telescope (LST) is slated for "e;first light"e; in August of 2067, but this event is delayed by several problems, including a mysterious sabotage of the LST. The story follows the career of Dr. Seth Byrne, the first director of the Farside Observatory, and how Seth and his team resolve the delays and achieve "e;first light"e;. The project goes on to explore the Universe with new Project Farside instruments and explore the backside. Their discoveries remove some of the dark surrounding our knowledge of the backside of the moon.

    Otis and Charlie were both in their 70's when they first saw the map - the map to the vault buried below the Old Nevada ghost town know as Heaven's Gate. Legend had it that Howard Hughes had buried 50, new and pristine, 1981 Deloreans in the massive vault. The two widowers were looking for an adventure and a chance to get away from the everyday routine of living in a retirement community. This was their chance to prove a legend and solve a 50 year old mystery. Dealing with the Indian curse and avoiding the ghosts and spirits that inhabited the old town seemed to be a minor worry - at least for now.

    The sighting of Great Whites in the Gulf of Mexico was more than a rare event, it was an extraordinary event. Now, almost overnight, the vicious attacks started. The deadly encounters occurring from Biloxi all the way down to Tampa. The great whites seemed to be on an unexplainable killing rampage. A 47 foot U.S. Coast Guard Motor Life Boat and five brave crewmen were assigned the task of finding the cause of the attacks and why the creatures were suddenly appearing in alarming numbers along the beaches of the Gulf Coast. What these five men discovered was much more sinister than a marauding band of great white sharks - they found something lurking deep in the Gulf that had been lying dormant for half a century - A mindless killer void of thought or compassion - It lie on the sandy bottom and waited to be awakened.
