The Vampire Underground wraps up a four-book set that I originally began in 1997. My son, James, asked me to write a book for him since I had written one for his sister. I said it could happen and began working on Journey to Mars. Much has passed under the bridge since this series began and I'm satisfied to finally have it completed...maybe. I am thinking there might be a fifth book in the series. Maybe to set the Denebians straight. We'll see. In The Vampire Underground the conflict between Jason Martin and Marsella comes to a head and is finally resolved. Marsella wreaks havoc upon the Earth and Jason and company must go to great lengths to stop her.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) aims to improve mission effectiveness and efficiency. In support of this effort, the Office of the Secretary of Defense asked the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), a federally funded research and development center operated by the RAND Corporation, to construct a baseline of the DoD's government acquisition and procurement functions, including a functional decomposition and estimate of the cost of executing the government portion of the DoD's acquisition enterprise. NDRI researchers estimated these costs at between $29 billion and $38 billion in fiscal year 2017 dollars. To gain perspective on these costs, NDRI researchers identified commercial benchmarks for the amount of program management levels. As a percentage of DoD contracting obligations, NDRI researchers estimated the DoD's program management portion of these costs at about 1.5 percent in the last few years, which is below industry benchmarks of 2-15 percent.
