THESE ARE ORIGINAL BOOKS

Meaning that the material on the page is exactly as I wrote it. There has been no input by third parties that could inject ideas and the ideology of commercialism into the material. That also means that there will be errors from time to time, some typographical, some syntax, some spelling or punctuation. I want my writing to reflect my sounds, thoughts and personality in real life as if we were talking over a cup of coffee. I call it colloquial writing. I have no idea what the experts call it, probably junk, but whatever, I think you will enjoy reading it. Colloquial might be the wrong term, but it will do until I come up with something better.

I want to thank you in advance for buying my books, and if you do not like them for any reason, send it back and get your money back. That shows you how confident I am that you will like my stories and my style. 

There are only a few hundred books available.  After that, no more will be printed.

Reaction from a reader: Jack— What are you trying to do, start another Civil War? You might get hung for this one. You don't talk about such things in this part of the country. Besides, you may have planted an idea that will grow. I was fascinated with the book. The dialogue is good and the plot captivating. Thanks, Hal R Atlanta

At first glance, it appears that this novel would be controversial with an underlying agenda. It is not.  It is an interesting collection of ideas made into a lively story.

Doc Rogers and his companions felt that they had topped out the Civil Rights movement and were looking for greener pastures.  After learning of a loophole in the voting rights act, the idea came to Doc to establish a separate nation for minorities using a part of the US territory to be called New Georgia. He decided to launch a voter registration campaign to elect selected people to critical offices for the job. Those elected would have to commit to a plan to give up the eight southeastern states of the United States for their new country. Coincidently, the land area involved nearly equals their own minority percentage of the total population.

The idea caught on in a huge way with their constituency. Of course, the top people of the United States immediately challenged the idea and started action to stop it. They soon discovered that Doc really had a legal right to do as he planned. The affected states reacted by calling the idea radical and prepared to fight to the finish if necessary to preserve the status quo. Certain hostile Caucasian groups within those states planned another Civil War if necessary to stop the movement. One state government was heavily involved in trying to sabotage the plan by eliminating some of the more important people involved.

Unknown to Doc, he was being used by a more sinister group from out of the area. The group's operation was discovered and neutralized, but the damage to Doc's reputation was beyond repair. The scheme faded into oblivion, but not before Doc paid a heavy personal price. If you haven't read an excellent novel lately, try this one. You will be pleased.

A Plan to Kill Click here for an excerpt for "A Plan to Kill" Reaction from a reader: Dear Mr. Boone: You are to be congratulated on a fine story. As a former teacher, I must tell you that it needs a little editing here and there to slick it up a bit, but the story is very clear and moves extremely well. I enjoyed it. Don W------- Mobile, AL Homicide detective Toby Malzoni made a drug-related kill in the first few pages of the book. He and his partner, Jeff Clayton, effectively covered it up as a JJ (their own euphemism) and buried the records. They were surprised to be assigned to an intelligence anti-terrorism unit. They are given several excuses why two homicide detectives were selected over officers with more intelligence experience. It worried them that somebody upstairs had discovered their personal practice of killing narcotics dealers and to keep from embarrassing the department, chose this way to stop it. Toby and Jeff did a JJ only after they had hard evidence that the dealer was selling drugs to children and would probably walk, if brought to trial at all. The detectives selected the letters JJ because they had acted as judge and jury. Fear that they could be indicted made them afraid to protest the new assignment, so they complied quietly. The story continues with a foreign country planning to manufacture explosives from materials readily available on the domestic market in the USA and using them for terrorist activities. The simplicity of the operation made it difficult to identify the people involved. The foreign country cleverly used people they had planted in the US years earlier and who were working in the system as professionals, putting them above suspicion. The terrorists had an elaborate plan to use the explosives in a national attack to disrupt the country. The plan unfolds as the story develops and moves rapidly along. Toby and Jeff engaged the terrorists in several graphic adventures along the way. This book is scary because similar terrorists attacks could easily happen here.  A Plan to Kill  Price: $14.95 345 Pages Paperback   The Rebel Click here for an excerpt from "The Rebel" From a reader: ---I liked the story Not having been in the military, the book got into some areas that I found difficult to relate to, but the story always came back to center stage just in time. It makes you wonder how many ex-servicemen have this same affliction, but have managed to suppress it.The book would make a good movie. I could visualize Sam in my mind as a loner on a mission that even he didn't understand, but the mission was so strong, he couldn't resist. Am I right in that? Good luck, Dr. John T---- Birmingham, AL Sam McBride was a pugnacious young man.  A dance hall fight earned him a warning from a judge that it was jail for him the next time it happened.  That was all it took to send Sam in search of an Army Recruiting Station. He was in the army for only a few days when the standard intelligence test revealed that he was much more intelligent than the average recruit. Thereafter, wherever he was assigned the word preceded him and he was treated special. He was selected for specialized combat training. The training was intense and deadly. Unknown to Sam and his trainers, his intellect was also working against him. He was becoming too proficient in his desire to kill.  He was sent overseas to take the British commando course in Scotland. Following graduation he made several raids with the commandos where he displayed an extremely brutal killer instinct. These raids are graphically described in the book. Sam was quietly discharged from the service, but was not told that he had developed a serious psychological disability as a result of his war experience. His wounds were mental, not physical. After a few weeks of civilian life, he decided that his only talent was to kill people and that was what he would become, a killer for hire. He devised a clever method to avoid capture and advertise his services at the same time. He planned each task with the meticulous precision of a Commando raid and the execution was always flawless. After he was established and had a few jobs behind him, he was approached by a phantom client willing to pay big money for his exclusive services.  He accepted.  He didn't know that the client represented a radical arm of the US government that was prohibited by law from eliminating domestic enemies, so Sam was hired to do the job. Each assignment was an adventure on its own. The story has drama, loyalty, love, hate and a very surprising ending.

Nobody knows how many covert operations like this are going on around the world at this very moment. It is a scary thought. I enjoyed it immensely.Steve B---  Marietta, GA  This is a big story featuring the recovery of a top secret and extremely dangerous weapon that had been stolen from a government laboratory by a compulsive gambler and used to pay a gambling debt. After the theft was discovered, FBI agents Casey Duke and Maggie Norris were assigned to recover the weapon and keep the information of its existence away from the press. The thief was a scientist who had been working on a super-secret government project to reduce a strain of anthrax to a highly concentrated form and bond it with other chemicals in water for use as a purification agent. It became extremely toxic and unstable in the laboratory and was scrubbed as too dangerous for its original mission. The only copies of the concentrate were locked in a safe, awaiting safe destruction when it was stolen. The concentrate had unique properties that allowed it to reproduce itself by attaching itself to other chemicals normally found in regular drinking water. If allowed to escape, it would proliferate itself and contaminate the world's water supply. Finding and recovering the concentrate intact was vital to human survival. Before Casey could get to the thief, the material had been delivered to a mob organization to pay a gambling debt. The thief had assured the mob that it was the ultimate weapon of war and worth millions on the world market. The live-in girl friend of the mob boss was the daughter of a wealthy renegade, American expatriate and narcotics addict living in Switzerland. The girl suggested that her father would be the one to sell the material because of his experience in international trading. The material be sent to him that same day. The renegade American was a member of the super-secret Eagle Society. All of the members were of royal lineage. Their plan was to return a disintegrating world back to the monarchical governmental system. The Eagle Society already had a plan using highly concentrated natural gas as an explosive to disrupt most of the major cities of the world at a future time and thereby bringing down the existing governments by internal wars. Their plan was well underway when the anthrax concentrate was brought to their attention. The original natural gas plans were scrapped immediately and the concentrate was purchased to replace it. They set the wheels in motion to duplicate the anthrax. Casey Duke and his associates followed the anthrax trail all over the world, beginning in the United States, through Europe, Scandinavia and the Balkans. Many suspenseful events took place throughout the story.

She was a tiger and it was interesting to see how it unfolded. I was startled and surprised at the way it ended. This is a very good story, easy to follow. Julia N ----,  Atlanta, GA Mrs. Emmaline O'Connor Weldon, known to her friends as Miss Emma desperately wanted two sons of her own. She was married to a railroad engineer who was unable to give her children. All of her life was geared toward the two fantasy sons that never existed. She went so far as to prepare rooms for them in her home. Her husband humored her, knowing that she had made herself ill in her pursuit of her dreams, but it was not to be. Her husband died a natural death leaving Miss Emma with enough income to last for the rest of her life. Shortly thereafter the stock market crash of 1929 occurred and she lost everything. Left nearly destitute, she had no choice but to seek employment. Trained only as a housewife, she had one option, and that was to find a job as a housekeeper for a wealthy family. She found employment with an attorney who was the father of four young children, two boys and two girls. His wife was bedridden and near the point of death. Told that the wife had cancer, the motherly Miss Emma moved in and took over the household. She quickly became suspicious of the wife's illness. The actions of the attorney-husband made her suspect that the lady was slowly being poisoned. She alerted a detective about her qualms. The story winds through a maze of activity on the part of the characters.  To complicate matters, the attorney's wife eventually died. Her death was followed a few months later by the mysterious death of the two girls. The only family left was the father and the two boys. Convinced that the attorney had murdered some of his family, Miss Emma's attempts to get the father indicted for murder failed. This one ends in a most unusual way.

I have seen them for years in our county and state government. The names may be different, but the actors are the same. Families like the Eubanks are everywhere in Southern politics, probably left over from the Civil War. They act exactly as you described them--- dishonest, egotistical, arrogant, conceited and generally obnoxious, but they have the financial clout and that makes others who don't have it subservient to them. I only wish that many of those I know had come to the same end as your character Jim. A beautiful and surprisingly accurate political story. Jay S-----, Atlanta, GA This is the story of a family dynasty. The story opens with the local country doctor giving a newsman a graphic and delightful explanation of the family and its history in Estonia County.   The first generation portrayed in the book is that of Billy Bob Eubanks and his antics as a land owner and county politician. Billy Bob speaks in the patrician dialect of the old South and dressed and acted accordingly. In the rural South they are revered and respected as wise men. Billy Bob's son, Jim, aspired to be the governor of the state.  He wanted more than to be a small-time county political boss. To further his ambition, he married the most beautiful woman in the county because a beautiful wife would be an asset in state politics. He learned quickly that the powerful political leaders were firmly locked in place and tolerated no outsiders, unless they were invited to join. The Eubanks family fortune, a beautiful wife and a powerful politically active father made him irresistible to the state leaders, and too valuable to keep outside of the select group. He was brought in as Highway Commissioner with a promise of higher office later.  He manipulated the department to make it extremely profitable for the group by planning where roads and highways were to be built, then buying choice properties at rural prices through limited partership entities, hiding the true ownership.  Once the new road was built, the price of the property would escalate dramatically. Jim quickly became a favorite member of the select group. His life did a dramatic turn when he discovered that his wife was having an affair with the Lieutenant Governor. He devised a remarkable scheme to eliminate the Lieutenant Governor using his power as Highway Commissioner.  Jim had the guy murdered and made it look like a bungled burglary. The scheme worked so well that he decided to use it to rid himself of others standing in his way to the governorship or those endangering his schemes. This is a chronicle of one man's climb through the maize of state level politics to a position of power, and the very dramatic conclusion. The Estonia System   Price: $14.95  375 Pages Paperback   Billy Box Click here to view an excerpt from "Billy Box" Response from a reader: Sir, your novel Billy Box proved conclusively that a scam artist can make it anywhere. As a manipulator, he was among the cleverest, and I think you captured that ambience in this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his adventures. It was easy to follow. Yours very truly, John R------  Chatham, MA After leaving home in the Mississippi Delta for the Oklahoma territory to seek his fortune, Billy Box grew up fast. He tried to be honest, but having no money after working hard and long hours made it extremely difficult. Realizing that he would never acquire the necessary capital to break out of poverty by going the way he was, he decided that the only way was to turn to crime. His scheme was to get work in a prairie store, locate the owner's money cache, steal it, then burn the store to cover the crime.  It worked. Occasionally a store would burn with the owner inside. After each fire, Billy would move to another town with his ill gotten money and repeat the process. After several such experiences he accumulated enough money to buy a saloon in Arizona. With a partner he swindled the army by selling them non-existent horses. A government investigation of the horse business, and the real possibility of being hung if captured, was enough to cause him to sell his saloon quickly and flee to the East. He arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, and set up operations as an investor using his saloon money as bait.  A clever prostitute helped him as he slowly worked his way into the Charleston social structure and developed grand schemes to bilk the rich planters out of their money. When the Civil War started, Billy began planning ways to cash in on it. He formed two shipping lines and sold foreign armaments to both sides in the conflict.  Along the way Billy had an affair with a war widow who had inherited a plantation after her soldier-husband was killed in action. They married and Billy became the master of the plantation. His shipping lines were successfully running the Yankee blockades, and the money rolled in. He was really a Southern sympathizer, but worked hard to keep it from showing. One of his adventures was a house of prostitution in Washington set up to spy on the North. He also used it to blackmail high ranking government officials to protect himself from prosecution. All of his schemes worked. He left a trail of bodies in his wake as he made himself rich and socially successful. After a long and successful career, he died in bed. His departing words were, "I have been a real bastard." He surely was that.

I'm sure others will like it also.  Adam P----- Marietta, GA The doctrine of "don't get mad---get even" was alive and well in the minds of two retired Police Captains, Amos Rogue and Felix Kilner. Throughout their careers, they had enforced the law honestly and diligently while watching those with the financial and political clout beat the system and walk away laughing, if not richer. Those with mob connections would never even reach the indictment stage. Amos Rogue kept a photo gallery of these perpetrators pasted on his apartment refrigerator as his personal rogue's gallery to constantly remind him that they had beaten the system. After Amos and Felix retired, all of the frustrations and deep-seated resentment that plagued them for years began to surface. Their careers were strangely unfulfilled because the job wasn't finished. After a while, they decided to do something about it so they sat around making plans on how to correct the situation. They chose to test their theory by actually putting one plan involving one notorious individual to the test. It quickly turned out to be so easy that they decided to drop the test and really do it. Their strong compulsion for retribution took over. Both divorced and with no obligations to anyone, they embarked on a road to correct the injustices themselves. Step by step, they made their way through the rogue's gallery.  The question was, can a series of disappointments in life cause men to turn into assassins? The answer is that it might if two perfectly sane people practiced an honorable profession for many years and suffered numerous indignities and rejections along the way.  Can the frustration eventually ingrain itself in their minds so deep that it will become an obsession? That might sound a bit incredulous, but it did in this case and that's what this story is all about. The story is structured where each chapter covers one event with fishing and hunting marking the end of each adventure. How they did it will rivet you to their story.
