Counterstrike: Heaven Sent The Long Book follows Kate from the cornfield in Kansas, where she meets a bloodied Agent Gareth, hints at the scummy office politics of the Denver FBI Office, continues with the perilous journey back to Washington DC, introduces Agent Gareth's both brilliant and eccentric tech team at the FBI's secret Section Six, and concludes with Kate's own bitter and nasty career drama in DC. The Long Book reveals a bit more of the dark, lonely, and troubled personal and romantic histories of Kate and Agent Gareth, as they grow closer, against the vile backdrop of Klaus Vogle's cold blooded terrorism and murder plots. It follows the unlikely pair with a more in depth look at Gareth's tech team at Section Six, a brief introduction to his “father” figure at the CIA, the serene, but adventurous lifestyle of Gareth's Sister, Allie, and husband, is followed up with a scandalous and messy social outing at the Connecticut Estate of Gareth's real father, wild and dangerous adventures in Upstate New York, then wraps up with cold, wet, and bloody disasters in coastal Scotland. The Long Book concludes the bloody Scotland adventure, followed by a legal misunderstanding in New York, and more bad career melodrama back in Washington DC. It continues with a horseback ride in the Appalachian Mountains, and a nighttime showdown at the nation's most famous Lighthouse Park. It follows up with further deep and dark intrigues, leading to a fabulous Episcopal Wedding near San Francisco Harbor, and ultimately reaching the thrilling and exciting climax of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent. This is a brief summary of what you get in Counterstrike: Heaven Sent Long Book Extra: 01-The new author's personal direct aftermath of the illness and death of the original author, Janet Claire Smyth (1950-2014). 02-A rich, detailed, and expanded 50 page chronicle of the memories and events the new author, Travis Logan Salisbury (1980-????) endured in the final summer of 2014, preceding the illness and death of the original author, Janet Claire Smyth (1950-2014). 03-A collection of political essays and letters penned by the new author, Travis Logan Salisbury (1980-????), in the wake of the illness and death of the original author, Janet Claire Smyth (1950-2014), in regards to the sagging and lagging quality of healthcare in America. 04-Several pages of author generated poetry summing up the author's personal experiences with economic loss, personal grief of fallen loved ones, and extended periods of hardship. 05-A rich, detailed, and expanded chronology logging my efforts in the publishing and pitching of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent. 06-A two and a half year summary and highlight reel of my very busy and active, facebook timeline arc, which is comprised of a mix of black and white photographs, captions, and mini-essays pertaining to the subjects at hand. 07-Four sections of black and white photographs, captions, and mini-essays pertaining to the subjects of: bad politically incorrect humor, politics around economics, war, and healthcare, my decidedly tasteless self-parodius, and family history. 08-Photos and texts delving into the theming, imagery, and cover art relevant and related to the production of the first three books of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent. Note: This book is the standard original edition of Counterstrike: Heaven Sent, in it's complete form, including a small, but not insignificant portion of non-fictional author biographical information and other content not directly to do with the story, but to provide a context of “reality” to go with the fiction. If this is not acceptable to you, please consider buying “The Short Book” edition, or the first three books of the Minibook edition, only.

In 1941 the precursor to the OSS and the CIA combined with British SAS to produce an elite fighting force whose mission it was to carry out subversive activities against the fascist regimes of Europe, actions that continue to resonate in the world today. These activities play a very important role in Piercing the Veil. A warrior with the intellectual agility of a Delphic oracle, Lieutenant Commander Grant Chisolm leads his exceptionally highly-trained, well-equipped team of SEALs into the heart of darkness. His highly secretive mission is to rescue hostages taken by the charismatic and cunning leader of a major insurgency in sub-Saharan Africa. He is forced to confront the irrationality of malevolent genius, bureaucratic quackery posing as government, and the link between a man's past indiscretions and present death and destruction. As he becomes more deeply involved in this extremely dangerous mission, he discovers that his own life is a mirror of ancestral ambitions that reveal themselves through an unexpected discovery for which nothing could have fully prepared him. The historical implications of his discoveries are truly breathtaking. His warrior quest is the stuff of legend and the crucible is bequeathed by mythical figures only to those who are worthy. Chisolm learns firsthand that not only the sins, but also the blessings, of his family must be borne to discover the true purpose of his life.

Award-Winning Science Fiction

"Beyer opens his series with a punch, establishing his prospective universe while simultaneously delivering sci-fi action. A chase sequence on Earth and an explosive confrontation on Eridani are exhilarating, but dirty politicking of the future proves most engrossing..."

"Nefarious bigwigs, collusion and galactic jumps against a cosmic backdrop; readers should definitely want to come back for more.

- Kirkus Reviews

"I hadn’t read very far into Casimir Bridge, the debut novel from newcomer Darren Beyer, before I realized I’d just found my newest favorite sci-fi author.”

- Book Pleasures Review

A manned, interstellar survey ship has gone missing. A nuclear terror plot is thwarted just outside Washington, D.C. And it’s an election year.

Mandisa “Mandi” Nkosi is a young reporter who, while on a trip to Johannesburg to connect with her roots, is contacted by an anonymous source with evidence that material seized from a nuclear terror plot will point squarely at one of humanity’s most important companies as the supplier. The source also unveils that the “evidence” against the company - Applied Interstellar Corporation (AIC), a science and technology behemoth with more corporate and political foes than can be counted - is a setup, and part of a plot to destroy AIC and gain control of its technological secrets. The deeper Mandi digs, the more of a target she becomes.

What follows is a heart-pounding, unforgettable ride through the hallowed halls of big government, far-flung star systems, and the revelation of a conspiracy that runs so deep, Mandi’s life ”" and the future of humanity ”" are put at stake.

Brimming with tantalizing futuristic technology, deep space adventure, and thrilling plot twists, Casimir Bridge is a nuanced, thought-provoking, and deeply human space opera that draws the reader in and never lets go.

I’ve left him. It’s over. If you still want what we’ve been talking about, I’m ready.

When university professor Markus Thorsen reads these words from the love of his life, Marisa, he abandons his work and flies to war-torn Peru, where government forces are battling a brutal insurgent organization known as the Shining Path. Once there, Markus hopes to whisk Marisa to safety—far away from her Peruvian husband.

His plans fall apart as soon as he arrives, however, when a Peruvian general shows up at his hotel room with a host of accusations. Markus has to face the truth: Marisa has connections to the Shining Path. But is her involvement by choice or coercion?

Desperate to learn the truth and get her out of the country, Markus sets off on a dangerous journey with Marisa that takes them from Lima to the Andes and on into the eastern jungle. Along the way, they are pursued by counter-insurgency agents, elite soldiers, hostile natives, Marisa’s husband, and even a man with a large jungle cat.

Markus planned on his Peruvian reunion resulting in happily ever after, but now he simply hopes he and Marisa make it out of the country alive.
