Malaya, 1954: Chin Peng, Secretary General of the Malayan Communist Party, listens with excitement as the early morning Radio Malaya broadcaster announces the death of a British Lieutenant Colonel and his two Gurkha escorts in a guerrilla ambush by communist terrorists (CTs) on the Jelebu Pass. Jason Rance, an English company commander in a Gurkha battalion during the Malayan Emergency, is the jungle expert tasked with tracking down the CTs. His tradecraft on jungle ops is unsurpassed and he is at home in the never-ending green of trees, vines, creepers and undergrowth as he leads his Gurkhas through the permanent semi-twilight. Meanwhile, Rance’s boyhood friend, Ah Fat, a member of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) and a government mole, seditiously edits a new MCP newspaper, Red Tidings, and passes secrets to a government preparing for self-rule. Can Rance and Ah Fat meet before the Baling Peace Talks and can secret files from USSR and China be handed over in time for the new Malayan government to take appropriate action?

Jason Rance, an officer in a wartime Gurkha battalion, involved in the deaths or capture of four Malaya-born members of the Indian National Army, returns to Malaya in 1948 in a new Gurkha battalion where he is operationally engaged in fighting the Communist guerillas. The parents of the four dead men find out how Rance was involved with their sons' deaths and plan revenge. Meanwhile, a member of the Chinese Communist party visiting the Malayan Communists decides not to return to China and Rance attempts to extract him from across the Thai border in a fashion that nearly sees him court-martialled. Rance must collaborate with the Temiar, an indegenous people living deep in the Malayan jungle, and only the skill of a Gurkha saves him from being killed by four poisoned blowpipe darts.

Malaya, 1951. It is the Malayan Emergency and a British major, commanding a rifle company of Gurkhas, is woken in the small hours by a call from Special Branch with the six-figure grid reference of a large party of communist guerrillas. The line is poor, the army man is hung over and the location is written down incorrectly. But Dame Fortune, that ever fickle lady, also decrees that the Special Branch information is out-of-date, and the communists are some way away so that against millions of odds the two parties meet up and the guerrillas suffer their greatest loss of the Emergency. The story of what would become the tipping point of the Malayan Emergency in favour of the security forces is retold against a background of events in Moscow, Darjeeling, Delhi and Calcutta, where senior communist party members plot to infiltrate Gurkha units and destabilise Malaya. It is up to Captain Rance of the Gurkhas and his Chinese friend, a mole in the politburo, to overturn these plots before communism gains the upper hand in a Malaya aiming for self-rule. Operation Tipping Point is the eighth in a series of books involving Gurkha military units that may be read in any order. The author, JP Cross, a retired Gurkha colonel, old ‘jungle hand’ and counter-insurgency expert, draws on real events he witnessed during his time fighting in the Malayan Emergency.

After the ceasefire in Laos in February 1973, London forbids Colonel Jason Rance, the British Defence Attaché in Laos, from continuing his search for four Lao ‘moles’, who work within the Communist Party and wear a dedicated ring as a talisman. Unsanctioned contingency plans are therefore made by others for Rance to continue his work with the moles, the ‘Four Rings’, in an unattributable Operation Four Rings. But Rance remains ignorant of the plan and does not know he is in imminent danger. The communists now suspect the Four Rings as well as Colonel Rance and they launch their own Operation Four Rings: to kill the four moles and the British Defence Attaché. The tightest of races ensues. Based on historical fact and the author’s personal experience, Operation Four Rings is the fifth in a series of books involving Gurkha military units and includes Operation Black Rose, Operation Janus, Operation Blind Spot and Operation Stealth. The author, a retired Gurkha colonel, draws on real characters and events he witnessed across various theatres of war.

Paul's letter to the Galatians is one of the most beautiful ever written, showing us the good news of the gospel, thereby magnifying God's great love to the human race. The author of this book, Dr. Ellet J. Waggoner, was not only an excellent physician but an evangelist and co-editor of The Signs of the Times. At the 1888 Minneapolis General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, young E. J. Waggoner delivered a series of lectures on the book of Galatians. The message of salvation only by faith in Jesus Christ was Martin Luther's great theme out of which was born the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. The Glad Tidings reemphasizes this wonderful message and portrays the righteousness of Christ.
