Terror by Satellite
by Hugh WaltersTrouble aboard the satellite observatory which has been established to circle the Earth every four hours. It is under the despotic control of a brilliant but unbalanced scientist, Commander Hendricks, who refuses to allow his staff any means of communicating with Earth on their own account. But he doesn't know that Tony Hale, who is one of the engineers in the observatory, has smuggled in his homemade transistor radio.Scientists everywhere are baffled when three brown streaks appear on the Earth's surface, destroying all the vegetation in their path. No one can find the explanation until it is realised that the streaks lie in the direction of the satellite's orbit. Hendricks first refuses to reply to any questions and then announces that he intends to be the world dictator; if the governments of the world refuse to agree he will starve them into surrender by destroying all the vegetation on Earth. The situation seems desperate. But Tony has already used his transistor radio to get in touch with a friend on Earth. His homemade set is now the only means of contact between Earth and the observatory, and through it plans can be made to deal with Hendricks - plans in which Chris Godfrey has a leading role to play.

The dead, the dying and the decomposing are all in a day's work for the redheaded Italian from New York. When an arm rolls up on a Santa Monica beach, and the dead body on which the arm was once attached is discovered, John and his partner, Alex Ortiz, enter the world of college sports, athletes, and the illegal drugs that enhance their performance. Rage and revenge come together in a toxic cocktail John is all too familiar with. John knows rage. It came to define him as a young boy, and ultimately as a man. He carries a dark secret, and it is through his narrative, and a compelling back-story, that the true man is discovered. And in the beautiful Dr. Karen Gennaro--a woman with a few secrets of her own--John finds a soft place to land. But he knows all too well what falling in love with a cop can do to a woman. What sustains this hard-boiled detective is the bond he shares with his brave and dedicated partners. When that bond is destroyed in a senseless act of violence, will his past, and a desire for vengeance, destroy him? In Los Angeles, where Venice Beach, Marina del Rey, and the dream of Abbot Kinney's Venice Canals paint a picture of bliss, Testarossa will take you on a deeper, darker journey.
