Peter Pike and the Silver Shepherd, #5 in the Peter Pike historical thriller series, by Neal W. Fandek
Who let the dogs out?
Private eye Peter Pike’s in bad shape.
He’s broken up with his fiancée Greta, is homeless and diagnosed with PTSD in the mid-Missouri town of Smithtown, home to the University of Missouri. The VA refers him to the Center for Humane Animal and Canine-Human Assimilation, Cha-Cha for short, which assigns him a silver German shepherd.
But who is this dog, really? Bubba is gentle but has strange reflexes around certain symbols. Who are the supersmart wild dogs terrorizing Smithton? What is the director of Cha-Cha hiding and why is she so knowledgeable about Nazis?
To find out, Pike must dive into the murky history of war dogs, space dogs and the Pet Holocaust to find out who let the dogs out and how long he has before they take over Smithton — and the world.
Available in paperback or on Kindle.

The display is housed in the part of the Winter Palace overlooking the main courtyard that once contained the childhood rooms of Emperor Nicholas Is sons Konstantin, Nikolai and Mikhail. The Gazprom public joint-stock company acted as general sponsor for the creation of the new display.
The opening of the first phase of the display is timed to coincide with some notable anniversaries 300 years since the proclamation of the Russian Empire and also 300 years since the signing of the Treaty of Nystadt that brought the Northern War to an end and formally returned lands lost in previous Russo-Swedish wars. At the same time, the display will be the start of a large-scale project devoted to the 350th anniversary of the birth of Peter the Great, which will take place in May 2022.
The display contains many paintings, sculptures and works of applied art, scientific devices and instruments that came from the palace collections of Peter the Great, his niece Empress Anna Ioannovna and his daughter, Empress Elizabeth. The exhibits placed in the halls of the first phase are devoted to the personality of Peter himself, the history, culture and art of Russia at the time of the sweeping reforms that he introduced.
Hall 156 (the Rotunda) tells about Russias victories in the Northern War (170021) that ended 300 years ago with the signing of the Treaty of Nystadt. In the centre of the hall is a model of the Triumphal Column glorifying the success of the Russian forces. On display alongside are the painting of The Battle of Poltava that Peter the Great commissioned from Louis Caravaque and a bronze bust of the first Russian emperor created by the sculptor Bartolomeo Carlo Rastrelli. Hall 157 contains paintings by Russian artists of Peters day and foreigners who worked in Russia. They are mainly portraits of members of the Emperors family and prominent statesmen. One showcase holds a unique wax bust that recorded Peter Is appearance with documentary precision. The exhibits in Hall 158 come from the memorial collections of the Study of Peter the Great and Gallery of Peter I. Here visitors can see items made by Peter himself, the Tsars costumes, walking sticks, seal and other personal belongings of the Emperor.
On 28 December the opening ceremony will be available for viewing online, while on 29 December the curator Natalia Bakhareva, a senior researcher in the Department of the History of Russian Culture, will conduct the first online guided tour.

Peter Haring Judds memoir biopic puts you in the shoes of the author as he starts his journey after landing in Bornu Province, Nigeria between 1959-60. Where he spent nine months as a history teacher at a secondary school in Maiduguri, provincial capital of Bornu Province (Borno at present) and the Fune States, somewhere in northeastern Nigeria, where he was also assigned as election supervisor, which was a crucial part of the continents history.
The notes in his ledger/diary were the turning point of events that ignited during that time: terrorism, violence, lawlessness and wanton acts of destruction occurring until to this day.
This book pays tribute to those people whom he mingled and made friends with and established a close relationship and a bond that he will never forget for the rest of his life during his nine-month stay. Read the book to revisit the events as they happened in vivid detail in this compelling novel that made the headlines.
The situation in Maiduguri can be heartbreaking, as the author would hope for peace and suffering would end one day.
