Tall tales or not (and they claim they're not), these two Vietnam veterans, one a medic and the other a chopper pilot, hit it off immediately when they run across each other on the web. Darrell is promoting his first novel, Medics Wild and lists it under Military humor. Will finds it there and asks what it is about. And from there on they begin relating stories of childhood mishaps, Vietnam humor and craziness, then their postwar follies, such as a city boy trying to become a farmer and a helicopter pilot creating simulation while professing to avoid work, these two guys do their absolute best to top each other's stories. They swear every single word written about the war, their pets, their wives and their aversion to honest labor is absolutely true but you'll have to judge that for yourself, if you can stop laughing long enough.

After the war, the three Williard Brothers are looking for any way to earn money that doesn't involve the dreaded routine of 9 to 5 drudgery. They failed in a hair-raising expedition to the Congo where they hoped to record the activities of the last living dinosaur. In fact, they almost got eaten by the dinosaur. Now they're on the trail of Bigfoot, or possibly an extraterrestrial alien. They have no idea which, but they have come into possession of a weird specimen. It is an over-large furred hand with claws that doesn't match any earthly creature. James Williard is the oldest brother and his sometimes girlfriend since the war, Terry Very, has left him again, causing them both to realize they should have stayed together. Terry follows the brothers to Alaska where Bigfoot is supposed to live--in the very wildest, unexplored area of the Brooks Mountain Range of Alaska. There they come together with Terry, and also the FBI, NSA, the New York Mafia and a Russian Spetsnaz team, all thinking it is an extraterrestrial they're after that may hold the key to the stars if they can capture it, alive or dead.

Eighteen year old Twins Jan and Jani discover the existence of alternate Earths in a most unusual way. The first exploring party from another alternity immediately recognize that twins Jan and Jani Jenkins have a powerful but unrealized talent for creating apertures into alternate worlds, but at the same time the twins suddenly realize they can spot an aperture and the person who formed it at a considerable distance, a talent they didn't even know they had. The explorers from the Pankan Empire on another Earth have never seen the like of the twins, especially after they learn to create apertures to other worlds. The Panks are determined to not only subdue our Earth but to capture or kill the twins before they can develop their great ability to a point where they could help America and her allies resist the invasion. Within days, following one narrow escape after another, the Twins keep learning more and more about their abilities.

This wild chase tops the dinosaur and Bigfoot (or an alien, most likely) for craziness and extremely dangerous clues to the Godfather's billions--and to a treasure supposedly worth far more than that. The Williard brothers are showing their age but not ready to slow down yet, even if it kills them--and it very well might because they are headed into their most dangerous, wildest adventure.

Nothing is as it seems when the Strake brothers begin investigating some peculiar little golden objects no larger than grains of rice Gary Strake found halfway up the Mogollom Rim. Solving one problem only leads to numerous others, until the brothers and the scientists they're working with wonder if they'll even live long enough to solve a mystery that threatens to put the galaxy in thrall to monstrous aliens--again!

What if everything you've ever believed about life after death is wrong?What if you discovered that many aspects of human behavior, attitudes and beliefs are the result of minds from deceased persons influencing and/or helping the living?What if you found that autism, homosexuality, schizophrenia and other conditions are caused by minds from the deceased attached to them?When Daniel Nelson's cancer-ravaged body finally gives up he finds that dying was easy compared to what comes after. He learns that while there still doesn't appear to be absolute proof of heaven or hell, there is indeed life after death-but apparently only for some.Dan doesn't know what to think of his situation. Do all minds live on after death and find a living host or is he unique? He doesn't know but suspects others have survived in the same fashion he did. He discovers he can contact Jeannie if he tries hard enough but he doesn't think a fourteen year old girl could handle an event like that, even one as intelligent and thoughtful as Jeannie.

Tonto, a cross-eyed, ADHD affected little Weenie Dog with only one testicle is suddenly called upon to save the world from an alien invasion! Can he do the job? Well, perhaps, if a compulsively cursing alcoholic super-genius and his co-ed groupies combine forces with an cigar-chomping Italian from the pentagon and his air headed secretary. And of course they have to have help from Tonto's owners, who think politicians aren't much smarter than lizards.Get ready for a wild and crazy ride with Tonto and his friends, the most amazing characters Darrell Bain has created in his eclectic writing career.This is a science fiction novel so insane it only begins to make sense when it's discovered that the aliens had a part in Tonto's conception to begin with!

After the war, the three Williard brothers are bored with civilian life--until Jason Williard proposes an expedition to Lake Tele in the deepest, darkest part of the Congo. There, a purported dinosaur still lives, called Mokele Mbembe by the natives. The brothers hope to make a fortune by recording the dinosaur's activities and selling it to the highest bidder. That's if they manage to live through a wilder adventure than any war, considering that if they don't get eaten by the dinosaur, any one of other looming catastrophes don't kill them first.

The zany, politically incorrect Williard Brothers are back and this time they're shooting for Mars, trying to spend the billions of dollars inherited from the old Mafia Godfather. But there's a financially and politically powerful organization that's been seriously hampering manned spaceflight by generations, backed by shadowy beings who may not have originated on Earth at all. So far they've kept manned space flight from progressing very far or very fast, but they've never encountered the Williard Brothers, either. Along with their straight shooting girl friends, The Williards intend to go to Mars, and they don't care who they have to kill to make it!
