    About this ebook

    There exist in the world a number of people who have decided they can no longer wait for humanity to implode. They know if they wait for a great political or spiritual leader to rise up, it will simply be too late.
    With the corruption buried within the government, and the threats emanating from political and civil groups against any supposedly decent people, normal and peaceful life in the twenty-first century could likely soon be coming to an end—unless someone begins to take drastic measures. However, among the so-called peace loving people of the world, most don’t accept, or even believe in, the terror soon to be coming.
    There are, however, some people who want to either fight the evil or to expose it, to warn people of the coming chaos. These men and women have learned, or are willing to learn, of the evils facing mankind and the many ways the world system is promoting the terror, and how to help innocent people get out of the path of the rampaging forces. They have become willing to stand in the face of any and all opposition to let people know the truth.
    These people are everywhere, and they are nowhere. The average person never sees them, never pauses to think about them. Average people are so busy trying to cope with their own lives that they have no knowledge of these hidden people.
    These people have been called to be Watchmen.

    Jim Magwood

    I was born too many years ago in Vancouver, Canada, and was dragged south across the border by my parents when I was too young to protest. I've lived in California the rest of my life.I entered the military right after high school, then attended college and began a career in business. My military work and years in various business management positions had me traveling to many parts of the world and I remember well the beauty (as well as the poverty and unrest) of so many places.I am happily married to Gayle.I retired early and moved from the city to our quiet country place in Twin Oaks, California. The loudest noises now are the few barking dogs, some howling coyotes, the wandering cattle and a million raucous birds. The rabbits, quail, coyotes and mountain lions have come to recognize that Shiloh (the ranch) is a sanctuary for them, so they hang around every day looking for handouts.I just hang around the ranch trying to be a hermit (at least that's what a lot of people think.) I do still manage to get shaved once in a while and can look half-way presentable when someone comes up the driveway (if given enough warning.)My work now appears to be writing. SANCTION took about ten years to finish, as it was written in bits and pieces. However, right after it was finished and sent to the publisher, what was left of the old mind began churning and there may be another few novels coming out in the future. Don't hold your breath, but... THE LESSER EVIL, COP, NIGHTMARE, JACOB, ONLY THE WATCHMEN WEEP and THEREFORE I AM are now out in the reading world waiting for you. More coming? We'll see...I'd love to hear from you, especially if you've bought a dozen or so of the books and passed them out to all your friends and neighbors. Give me a write some day, ask questions and swap stories. After all, I don't have anything else to do. You can catch me at JimMagwood@aol.com. (And I do answer my mail.)
