Echoes of Silence
When Biedima arrives at the Clark mansion in Lagos, she’s met not with warmth, but with silence. Her father, David, never told his family she existed. Her stepmother, Bunmi, sees in her a past she’s tried to forget. And her brother, Tonye, has already decided she doesn’t belong.
In a house where image means survival and silence is tradition, Biedima searches for connection in the cracks.
David, torn between pride and guilt, hides behind the quiet rules men are taught to follow. Bunmi, grieving and bound by expectation, is asked to forgive what no one will say aloud. And Biedima, caught between their silences, must find her own voice.
Told through three intertwined perspectives, Echoes of Silence is a story of love withheld, truth unspoken, and the quiet courage it takes to be heard.

The Prophecy for Eternal Human Survival
Humanity has always faced, and continues to face, one of the most complex and troubling problems, its own future. Ever since humans recognised themselves as part of the universe, science, philosophy and religion have invariably addressed the fate of the human race, its origins, evolution, and continued survival.
This book attempts to examine this problem in the context of both the modern scientific worldview and historical processes reflected in palaeontological and astronomical data. The central idea is to understand what humanity must do to ensure the continuation of life as planetary and cosmic processes enter a new phase.
Not all conclusions can be considered universally accepted; some are hypothetical or provocative. However, this is precisely the scientific and ideological value of this work. It encourages the reader to consider the scale of what is happening. “Prophecy” in this context should not be understood in a religious sense. Rather, it is a reflection on probable future scenarios, based on the observation of natural patterns and an attempt to understand the possible limits of human capabilities.
This book is addressed to any reader considering the fate of civilisation. It calls not for fear, but for awareness: for the need for knowledge, responsibility and harmony with nature as the only path to humanity’s survival and further development in a changing universe.

Charlie's Girl
This is a compelling story of love, luxury, abuse, abandonment, betrayal, murder, and survival, where victims become heroes by breaking the cycle to help other victims.
The characters intertwine between the settings of an overwrought family in England and the frivolous, sensuous world of yachting in South Florida, USA.
Claudia Jacobson-Hume is a stunning nineteen-year-old at the end of her final year of school, having achieved all the goals she set for herself. She is thrilled through her success to be able to pay back something to her adoptive parents, and today is a new day in her life, a new beginning, with her past years of abuse behind her. But her sense of pride is shattered when her parents do not arrive for the presentations on the last day.
Later, distraction arrives in the handsome form of Charlie, an American who had come to England in search of his birth mother. He is immediately attracted to Claudia, not just for her green eyes and Titian hair, but also for a familiar, recognizable sadness. Taken by her strength and independence, he is determined to help her overcome her and accept who she is.
A page-turning, fascinating rollercoaster; a truly special story worth reading once more.

Dagga and the King of Lollybrod
King Alphonso, the ruler of Lollybrod, was never a happy man. When his daughter Clovella was born, he declared that she should have a normal upbringing and arranged for her to be fostered by one of his herdsmen, Clem Bagley, and his wife Gladys. They were to raise the child as one of their own until she was seventeen years old, when she would be offered the choice of either staying with the Bagleys or returning to the castle to take up her royal duties.
She lived the life of a farmer’s daughter and met and fell in love with local lad Dagga Flintock.
When she became seventeen and her true parentage was revealed, it took her a while to come to terms with such startling information, but eventually she decided that she had no choice but to return to the castle to live as the island’s princess.
Hearing of her decision, Dagga decided that he had to leave the country and launched his yacht, intending to sail to Australia, only to be forced back by an intense storm. He hurried ashore to see if Clovella was safe, and as far as we know they lived happily ever after.

The First RAF ‘Top Guns’ at Red Flag
It was the middle of the 1970s when number 208 Squadron RAF reformed with Buccaneer aircraft based at RAF Honington in Suffolk. As a frontline squadron, 208 Sqn was given a variety of tasks, flying in Germany, Scandinavia and elsewhere, to be ready to carry out ground attack missions and also to be ready to strike the enemy with nuclear weapons if required.
Red Flag was the name given to the biggest air-war exercise developed by the United States Air Force to enable fighter and fast-jet aircrews to survive and flourish in combat operations. Sqn Ldr Stuart Ager takes us through his times flying the Buccaneer on 208, 237 OCU, XV and 16 Sqns and his participation in no less than 6 Red Flag wargames.
In 1977, 208 Sqn was chosen to be the first to represent the RAF on this exercise, and Stuart Ager, with his navigator David Wilby, led the first flight of 4 aircraft to land at Nellis Air Base (near Las Vegas). Over the next two weeks, the USAF found the Buccaneers and their aircrew to be formidable opponents. When not flying, he describes some of the delights of the Las Vegas nightlife.
Stuart Ager covers Buccaneer operations during the ‘Cold War’, including his task to introduce laser precision-guided weapons (PGMs) to joint flying operations with the RAF Germany Jaguar force and his subsequent time in the Ministry of Defence as the desk officer responsible for writing the requirements for the next generation of PGMs.
He describes the personal life of RAF aircrew and their families, their feelings and their difficulties in coping with frequent and sometimes long periods of separation when operating away from the home base.
