"Fire. The light by which we tell our stories and mythic tales. It kept the night at bay for hundreds of thousands of years. It guided humanity's migrations across the globe, and became mankind's first weapon of mass destruction. What if fire developed a mind of its own? Captain Duane Longhurst, a fire captain haunted by memories of a failed rescue, encounters a new phenomenon of living fire creatures called Thermotrophs. Captain Longhurst and a new firefighter with a hidden past struggle to extinguish the rapidly evolving and ever smarter Thermotrophs to save lives or risk the city being burnt down."

Tampered Tales, John Steiner -- "The act of storytelling is a form of sorcery. The teller casts a spell upon their audience in summoning up tales that never happened, yet impact the reader as if they had lived the adventure." -- John Steiner brings you his Tampered Tales of ... Unbelieveable situations that reveal the humanity of extraterrestrials, the alienness of ordinary human beings, foibles and flaws ranging from shocking to hilarious, as brought to the surface by experiences and choices that cast doubt on once firm beliefs and challenge our thinking.

In the decades following the second world war, the United States created new agencies and departments to address a wide range of issues including intelligence, emergency response to disaster and disease as well as covert warfare both abroad and domestically. These converge on discovery of a new threat not only to the U.S. but to the fundamental nature of human society and physiology. Quincy Barns, a former U.S. Army Ranger and CIA paramilitary operative, learns that not only are vampires real but there is a professional combat force trained and equipped to face the threat they pose. Once recruited into Squad Five Quincy faces enemies and inner dilemmas like nothing the hardened veteran can imagine.

Steiner utilises Kleinian theory to analyse those patients who have organised object relationships and defences into complex, rigid internal struc- tures. Using clinical examples he examines these psychotic organisations and suggests a therapy.
