The Earhart EnigmaBy Dave HornerForeword by Ronald T. Reuther

What really happened to Amelia Earhart?

“Anyone who becomes involved in serious research about the mystery [of Earhart’s disappearance] soon becomes aware of the mass of conflicting data published about Earhart and Noonan’s last flight. . . . To uncover hidden and little-known Earhart information requires people such as Dave Horner, who has the rare, bird-dog ability to smell and sense where to look and persevere until he finds what he is seeking. His knowledge of archival research gained from his excellent work on the Spanish treasure galleons has proved to be of great benefit in developing unique and previously unciphered data about what really happened to Amelia.” —From the foreword by Ronald T. Reuther

After years of painstaking research and the careful compilation of information from numerous interviews, Pacific Islander folklore, and US and Japanese military documents, there may finally be an answer to this intriguing question! Offering candid assessments of prevailing theories about Earhart’s fate, author Dave Horner marshals evidence proving that Earhart was neither lost at sea nor wrecked on Nikumaroro. Blending drama, mystery, and shocking revelations with the steady balance of an objective investigator, Horner’s findings provide a definitive answer to this fascinating riddle.

DAVE HORNER is a respected Navy veteran and former Small Business Person of the Year for the state of Florida. A graduate of the University of Virginia and Rutgers University, Horner pursued a career in banking, becoming the youngest bank president in Virginia at the age of 30. While living in Virginia, he pioneered sport diving and charter trips to sunken ships in the mid-Atlantic. He is a member of the Explorers Club, the author of several books on diving and sunken treasure,

and has successfully located and salvaged a treasure ship.

RONALD T. REUTHER, USAF Lieutenant Colonel, ret., provided the foreword for this book just before his death in 2007. Reuther flew military missions in some of the most dangerous arenas of the past decades. His passion for flight led him to found and head the Western Aerospace Museum, now known as the Oakland Aviation Museum, and moderate the Amelia Earhart Society.

New ReleasesOutlaws with BadgesBy Laurence J. Yadon and Robert Barr Smith

The most notorious lawmen of the Old West.

In the Old West, lawmen could not always be depended on to keep the peace—in many cases, the lawmen themselves were corrupt. Ranging from disgusting men such as Dirty Dave Rudabaugh to respected US Marshals such as Wyatt Earp, these fascinating lawmen ruled the Old West. Famous shootouts such as the Daltons’ last stand and the gunfight at the OK Corral along with murders, feuds, and robberies come to life in this compilation as these men fight to the death for power and revenge.

LAURENCE J. YADON is an attorney, mediator, and arbitrator. He gives presentations on law and crime history.

ROBERT BARR SMITH is a professor at the University of Oklahoma. The author of four other Western books, he contributed to Yadon’s three books on outlaws and gunfighters and edited Ten Deadly Texans.

A yell that rings with Civil War lore.

This definitive work details the origin and nature of the Rebel Yell, which has been largely lost to time. Author Terryl W. Elliott sets out to recapture the yell and bring it back to life at full volume. The text suggests a substantial theory of the origins of the yell in Scotch-Irish history, analyzes historical descriptions of the yell, and examines the few recorded versions in their historical context. Also included are historic stories and poems featuring the yell and a list of references.

TERRYL W. ELLIOTT is a writer, historian, and poet whose work has appeared in various regional publications. He belongs to numerous Civil War, history, and writing organizations. Elliott lives in Independence, Missouri, with his wife and their dog.

The Girl on the Stairs: The Search for a Missing Witness to the JFK AssassinationBy Barry ErnestForeword by David S. Lifton

A silent witness is heard at last.

It required 35 years of painstakingly diligent searching to uncover Victoria Adams, a key witness to the JFK assassination, and her story. Adams was on the staircase of the Texas School Book Depository at the precise moment that Lee Harvey Oswald, according to the Warren Commission, was making his escape—yet she saw no one. Badgered by the Commission and fearing for her life, Adams vanished into obscurity. At long last, her story has been brought to light and forces us to reconsider one of the most controversial assassinations of the 20th century.

BARRY ERNEST served as an investigative reporter for the Syracuse (NY) Herald-Journal. He has actively researched the Kennedy assassination since 1967 and personally interviewed Victoria Adams.

The Ultimate Ponzi: The Scott Rothstein StoryBy Chuck Malkus

The story of Scott Rothstein’s $1.4 billion Ponzi scheme.

Through exacting research, Chuck Malkus has uncovered the truth behind the ultimate Ponzi scheme that duped hundreds. Malkus follows Rothstein from his humble beginnings in the Bronx through his meteoric rise to one of the most powerful men in the country. The full story has not been told until now.

CHUCK MALKUS is a public relations executive, crisis communications expert, and president of Malkus Communications Group. Malkus has helped raise millions of dollars for natural disaster relief.

Voices of Pearl HarborBy Sherry GarlandPaintings by Layne Johnson

December 7, 1941—the day a sleeping giant awoke.

Japan’s surprise attack devastated the American Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and forced the Americans into WWII. These moving accounts of the lives affected by the assault capture the scope of the day’s emotions and repercussions. Beginning with a native islander

in 1940, voices set the scene on the island of Oahu and continue with a pilot’s mother in the nation of Nippon. Through compelling narratives and haunting imagery, readers follow along on that fateful day as a Japanese aviator wears the belt his mother stitched for luck, an American soldier tries to arm himself during the attack, a ship’s cook takes charge of a powerful gun to defend his country, and a small boy watches the USS Arizona go down in flames. Years later, a young girl and her grandfather seek healing at the USS Arizona Memorial. The heart-wrenching events play out against powerful illustrations that bring the people—and the story—to life.

SHERRY GARLAND has written over thirty books that have won more than forty awards, including an ALA Notable, a RITA Award, a Reading Rainbow book selection, and a Parents’ Choice Award.
