A hasty message from an old acquaintance will send Captain Anthony Hunter and the crew of the Brass Griffin racing to the High Fens of Belgium. There they face a twisted mastermind and his horrific minions in a murderous confrontation over an ancient statue of fantastic power!

When the crew of the Brass Griffin is hired to search for two children aboard a missing airship, they uncover a murderous plot that spans from London, England to a distant, ancient Roman ruin deep in the Jura mountains of France. Captain Hunter, Moira, Krumer and Tonks must fight against a foul plan that pits them against an evil mercenary captain bent on the children's demise!

The pleas of a desperate young woman draw Captain Anthony Hunter and his crew into a race against time through the streets of Edinburgh. As the body count rises, can they catch the killer before they are next?

On a routine fuel run to replenish their lightning batteries, Captain Anthony Hunter must face part of his past, save an innocent, and right a wrong before the skies turn too deadly to sail!

This portmanteau novel is a compelling yarn of intersecting lives, set in a snowy London and on a Greek beach. Its diverse characters tell their stories, worldly and other-worldly, in the corners of life: in a prison cell, in the pub, in bed...

Reprint of the original, first published in 1843.

Soldier of Courage, Soldier of Compassion is drawn from the letters and diaries of Captain Bennett L. Munger of company C, 44th New York state volunteer infantry. Munger's regiment was known as "Ellsworth's Avengers", in honor of their fallen comrade, Col. Elmer Ellsworth. The regiment was a seasoned fighting unit, and saw action in many important battles during the civil war. Munger's career would eventually place him in the position of prison inspector for the north's most notorious, Confederate prisoner of war camp, "Elmira". Elmira was little better than a death camp, that in some ways was on par with the horror of Andersonville. Munger's letters and diaries give an important firsthand account and insight into a moment in time that otherwise would be lost without this small volume that is dedicated to his unwavering service to his country and his steadfast compassion to ease the sufferings of his fellow man.
