When Tulsa Police Officer Craig Roberts saw the television coverage of the Oklahoma City Bombing on the morning of April 19, 1995, little did he realize that within days he would be assigned to the case. Over the following weeks and months Roberts investigated the events leading up to and surrounding the bombing, followed leads that led him into very dangerous places, interviewed witnesses, and gathered numerous case files. His investigation, with the help of others, would take him in a totally different direction than what the official government and mainstream media versions portrayed. Like his previous book, "The Medusa File--Crimes and Coverups of the U.S. Government," Roberts pulls no punches. After more than twenty years he felt that it was time to condense four file boxes full of case files into book form so that the real facts of the case can finally be told. The American people are owed the truth, and so are the 168 victims who lost their lives in this tragic event.

The author investigates such topics as secret dealings with war criminals, government mind control projects, POW/MIA affairs of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, use of unsuspecting citizens as guinea pigs for biological and other experiments, international drug smuggling and money laundering, and domestic and international terrorism.

In 1997, former U.S. Marie sniper Craig Robers, a seasoned veteran of the Vietnam war, stood for the first time at the 6th floor "sniper's nest" window of the Texas School Book Depository. As he looked down into what the U.S. Government maintains was the kill zone used by Lee Harvey Oswald, he immediately knew that the Warran Commission's verdict--that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone from that position, fired three shots in 5.6 seconds from a bolt-action rifle, with the fatal head shot being the last fired--was a lie. Why? Because Roberts, a combat experienced marksman, knew that he could not have duplicated Oswald's supposed feat--even if armed with the much more modern sniper rifle he used with devastating accuracy in Vietnam. At that moment, Roberts, a 20 year veteran police officer, investigator, and recognized authority on sniping, began an investigation that would last six years, take him into the shadow world of clandestine intelligence operations--and beyond--to discover the existence of a sinister organization that resides far above the CIA, KGB, the Mafia, and even government itself. An entity so powerful that, the elimination of a country's leader was little more than business as usual.

In the early morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh drove into downtown Oklahoma City in a rented Ryder truck containing a deadly fertilizer bomb that he and his army buddy Terry Nichols had made the previous day. He parked in a handicapped-parking zone, hopped out of the truck, and walked away into a series of alleys and streets. Shortly after 9:00 A.M., the bomb obliterated one-third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people, including 19 infants and toddlers. McVeigh claimed he'd worked only with Nichols, and at least officially, the government believed him. But McVeigh's was just one version of events. And much of it was wrong. In Oklahoma City, veteran investigative journalists Andrew Gumbel and Roger G. Charles puncture the myth about what happened on that day—one that has persisted in the minds of the American public for nearly two decades. Working with unprecedented access to government documents, a voluminous correspondence with Terry Nichols, and more than 150 interviews with those immediately involved, Gumbel and Charles demonstrate how much was missed beyond the guilt of the two principal defendants: in particular, the dysfunction within the country's law enforcement agencies, which squandered opportunities to penetrate the radical right and prevent the bombing, and the unanswered question of who inspired the plot and who else might have been involved. To this day, the FBI heralds the Oklahoma City investigation as one of its great triumphs. In reality, though, its handling of the bombing foreshadowed many of the problems that made the country vulnerable to attack again on 9/11. Law enforcement agencies could not see past their own rivalries and underestimated the seriousness of the deadly rhetoric coming from the radical far right. In Oklahoma City, Gumbel and Charles give the fullest, most honest account to date of both the plot and the investigation, drawing a vivid portrait of the unfailingly compelling—driven, eccentric, fractious, funny, and wildly paranoid—characters involved.

Niarmit has, for the moment, escaped the curse of the Great Helm and the grasp of the Dark Lord. Accepting at last a destiny which she never sought, her hopes of uniting the Salved people now rest on the uncertain loyalty of Prince Rugan and his army. Dema the Medusa broods in the captured fortress of Listcairn consumed by a rage for glory, to the consternation of friend and enemy alike. Hepdida strives to live up to Niarmit's expectations but finds that old nightmares can still haunt her days and that a palace can hold more peril than a battlefield. And through it all, Maelgrum weaves his malice as the guilty and the innocent are driven to fulfil his millennium long wait for revenge. *** The Medusa's hood was down and her mask was off as she carved, bit and stoned her way towards Rugan's standard. Even her allies gave her and her steed a wide birth as, at the peak of her powers and the crest of her rage, she swept all before her. A silver soldier, braver than the rest, dared to ride near and catch her sword with his. Their blades both wet with blood of different hues, slid down until they were locked hilt to hilt. "Major, no," a voice called. "Leave this abomination to me." Too late, the soldier's eyes met the Medusa's sparkling gaze and with an inward breath he turned to overbalanced stone. His mount buckled beneath the weight and the leaning statue of the rider toppled against Dema's palfrey. As the horse slid and skittered its way free of the falling new formed masonry, Dema slipped from the listing saddle and turned to face the owner of the voice.
