Well, the sun that rises over the quiet streets of London on a bright Sunday morning, shines till his setting, on gay and happy faces, here and there, so early as six o'clock, a young man and woman in their best attire maybe seen along on their way to the house of some acquaintance....

Fatal Tide
Melis Nemid is treading in dangerous waters - and she's about to be dragged under. As a marine researcher, Melis knows all too well the dangers that can lurk under even the calmest surfaces. But not even she can guess how deep the darkness runs. Only one oceanographer ever came close to discovering the deadly mystery that lies beneath the sea - and he's disappeared from the face of the earth.
Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timothy the dog (the Famous Five) are planning to go camping in a moor with the absent minded and insect loving Mr. Luffy, a teacher at Julian and Dick's school. When they arrive, they find that their camping site is close to a farm, and that several old train tracks run under the moors, some of them unused. They soon make friends with a boy named Jock, who lives at the farm with his mother and stepfather, its owners.
First it was acid rain, then the ozone hole. Now, CO2 in the air is supposed to bring on a climate catastrophe. Is global warming really a threat, are the polar ice caps in danger of elting and are coastal areas of habitation under threat of a deluge? Do we therefore need an energy-CO2 tax?
Sailing in the Caribbean, Captain Alan Lewrie, RN, is once again pursuing a chimera. A rich French prize ship he'd left at anchor at Dominica has gone missing, along with six of his sailors. What starts as a straightforward search for it, and them, from Hispaniola to Barbados, far down the Antilles, leads Lewrie to a gruesome discovery on the Dry Tortugas and to a vile cabal of the most pitiless and depraved pirates ever to sail under the "Jolly Roger" . . . and the suspicion that one of his trusted hands just may be the worst of them all!
