The future of all mankind and the planet he inhabits seems to be on a collision course for disaster. Nuclear proliferation and hostility between nations foster consistent rumors of impending doom among prognosticators, politicians, and preachers. What will the world be like a generation from now? Will there be peace on earth? Will there be more tension and more predictions of gloom and doom? Some have even suggested there will only be the eerie silence of a post-apocalyptic world. Can we know what the future holds?In a much-debated book of the Bible there seem to be some answers to the questions about earth's final days. The Book of Revelation, for Christians and non-Christians alike, has been more thoroughly scrutinized than any other New Testament writing. However, a close inspection of this book reveals insight into the future that can found in no other writing. This is no attempt to predict the future. It is an attempt to describe future events, whenever they occur, in more detail than is possible without a close inspection of Revelation chapters 4 through 16. In "Stormclouds on the Horizon: A Comprehensive View of Earth's Last Days", special attention is given to a future period commonly referred to as the Tribulation. The ancient prophet John the Beloved is privileged to see these future days revealed before his eyes. Unlike other books on this subject, Stormclouds reveals two viewpoints on this seven-year period given to John in this one prophetic vision.

Jack Baker is a self-employed painter and decorator in his late twenties who also does occasional small plumbing jobs. Abandoned by his mother at birth, Jack was brought up by foster parents. When working in a large country house, he comes across a sports trophy engraved with a name that re-ignites a deep-held desire to try to find his birth family, something he failed to achieve in an earlier attempt. Using a different approach this time, he makes contact with a half-brother. Unknown to Jack, his relative has a shady past involving convictions for minor crimes, which inadvertently draw in Jack. The connection with his half sibling leads to a complicated series of events involving a corrupt Member of Parliament and his equally corrupt nephew. The police use Jack to further their investigations into the MP and his nephew. It turns out that both men’s crimes are far more serious than originally thought. Russian spies are only part of his troubles as Jack becomes involved in a complicated series of events that threaten his life.

This is reflected in the continuing slow wage growth of about 2 percent and a dip in the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Leading Economic Indicator in October and November. [...] The hike in fourth-quarter growth may reflect a temporary boost to business confidence from the agreement in principle on an updated free trade agreement with the US and Mexico and the election of pro-business governments in Ontario in June and in Quebec in October. [...] Apart from the side-show of legalizing cannabis, the important economic developments in the fourth quarter centred around the sharp drop in the price of Alberta's oil and renewed turbulence in global financial markets. [...] This had the desired impact of removing the prospect of a continuing glut of oil, and the discount for Alberta's oil fell immediately. [...] Another was that the type of work lends itself to people temporarily coming in for several weeks of work, especially in the remote work- camps in the oil sands in Northern Alberta.

Storm clouds are gathering, silently and slowly, too far away to worry about. Or so it seems. But ignoring what is brewing will have dire consequences for the people caught up in the maelstrom. Shirley Burton is too busy cheating on her husband, having a laugh and looking for fun to alleviate the boredom of her childless marriage. Kathleen Mitchell is too wrapped up in running around after her beautiful family to worry about her health. Anne Simpson has two things on her mind: her forthcoming marriage to Paul Betham, who seems to want to control her, and her career, which she does not want to give up. Can Shirley really expect to deceive her husband and get away with it? Can Kathleen hold it all together, and is Anne able to have the best of everything? Storm Clouds Gathering is a story of human emotion, passion and heart-rending grief. Set against the backdrop of the mid-sixties, these three families will be tested to the limit as betrayal, loss and love threaten to change their lives forever.

The Omega War ended, not with a bang, but with a whimper. The Peacemaker-enforced ceasefire brought an end to the hostilities, but not a resolution, and now it's up to the Four Horsemen to forge a lasting peace. Alexis Cromwell, despite her pregnancy, heads off to Capital with Nigel Shirazi to obtain justice from the enigmatic Mercenary Guild Council, but when they arrive, they're quickly embroiled in galactic politics, and find out the situation is far, far worse than they could possibly have imagined. On Earth, Jim Cartwright has been given the task of 'fixing' the world government, which was complicit in General Peepo and the Merc Guild's invasion. He has some good ideas, but so do Peepo's agents who have stayed behind to foment rebellion. Sansar Enkh has her formidable intelligence service to watch his back?but will it be enough?Additionally, a new force is emerging on Earth, and it is raising far more questions than it is answering. What is the enigmatic Section 51, and what are their ultimate goals? As the Horsemen work for peace, the clouds of war are on the horizon. A greater war is looming as the other guilds, sensing weakness in the Mercenary Guild, begin their fight for supremacy. Who will be left when the storm clouds clear?
