Indulgence is Cap Parlier's 20th published book-his 16th novel-and takes on the controversial issue of psychotropic substance consumption.The characters of this imaginative novel live in an unspecified state in some future time where a more enlightened, progressive and respectful community has evolved. They show us aspects of major reforms in our handling of controlled substance consumption. After 50 years of failure of the so-called war on drugs, a notional Substance Consumption Improvement Program (SCIP) Act implements an array of changes including the strict regulation of specified controlled substances, the retail sales of those substances to adult citizens, and the establishment of what are called indulgence camps. Under the SCIP Act, specific substances are strictly regulated from production to retail sale to ensure each drug is consistently high quality, has a standard safe dosage, and has precise labeling along with appropriate consumer information. The state established indulgence camps to remove addicts from the general public domain and allow them to indulge their dependence on controlled substances from alcohol to THC to their heart's content without resorting to criminal conduct. The characters live various aspects of the new approach to dealing with drug consumption while respecting every citizen's fundamental right to privacy and freedom of choice.Indulgence may not be the solution, but it is certainly bountiful food for thought. There has to be a better way.

Hunter is the eighth book of Cap Parlier’s epic To So Few series of historical novels.  In the wake of the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, the American volunteer fighter pilots serving in the Royal Air Force in England seek transfer to the U.S. Army Air Forces and are told to be patient; transfer will come in time.  Losses and defeats continue to mount for the Allies—Singapore, Hong Kong, Tobruk, Malaya, the Philippines and Wake Island fell to the Axis—although winter and the Soviets stopped the German advance on Moscow.  Brian ‘Hunter’ Drummond and his No.71 Eagle Squadron brethren press their contributions to the United Kingdom and freedom itself.  The squadron is involved in some of the most significant aerial combat engagements of 1942 like the Channel Dash and Bruneval Raid, as they take offensive air operations to the Germans in Occupied France.  Charlotte and Brian raise their young son, and use Brian’s inheritance to expand their property holdings in Hampshire.  Finally, No.71 Squadron is officially transferred and becomes the 334th Fighter Squadron of the newly arrived U.S. Eighth Air Force.  As the squadron transitions, Brian is ordered home to join other celebrities in support of the First War Bonds Drive.  He had no assurance he would be ordered back.  Brian reluctantly leaves Charlotte and son in England with an uncertain future of wartime.

Cap Parlier's novel Apocalypse Endeavor presents the story of one family's struggle for survival in the high Rocky Mountains during deep winter. The Parks family arrived in Breckenridge, Colorado, for their annual, pre-Christmas, ski holiday only to be thrust immediately into a desperate survival situation when everything electrical or electronic fails in an instant. Think about it . . . contemporary life without electricity or electrical items, tools, equipment, or service. Carl Parks uses the skills he learned during his Marine Corps service and leads his family through the difficult days of gathering resources to provide for and protect his family through the depths of the long winter until the spring thaw arrives. The family must deal with bad elements among them who will kill to gain what they acquired. Nearby families in the same circumstances seek out and ban together with the Parks family for mutual protection and survival. When springtime finally arrives, the group of 23, along with the Parks' newborn granddaughter, hikes out of their confines over a high mountain pass to lower elevations and warmer weather. They finally learn what caused the crisis. You never realize how dependent contemporary life is, based on electricity until it vanishes in an instant. Cap Parlier weaves an intriguing story that engages the reader and makes us think . . . what if . . .

Frustration is the sixth book of Cap Parlier’s epic To So Few series of historical novels.  The mind-numbing fatigue the fighter pilots endured during the Battle of Britain transitioned to the night terror of The Blitz – the German bombing of British cities.  Jonathan remains in and takes on a leadership role in No.609 Squadron.  Brian recovers from his wounds and reluctantly transfers to the newly formed, first, all-American volunteer squadron – No.71 Squadron.  Winter weather diminished the invasion threat, and then mounting intelligence information in the spring indicated the Germans were turning their attention and moving their military resources to the east for Operation BARBAROSSA – the invasion of the Soviet Union.  Two more all-American volunteer fighter squadrons – Nos. 121 and 133 Squadrons – join No.71 Squadron in Fighter Command.  The human story of freedom’s defenders and those who love them continues to unfold amid historic events.  Prime Minister Churchill leads the British and Commonwealth countries, who stand alone against German aggression and domination.  President Roosevelt carefully navigates a very thin line to support the British in stopping the Germans and preparing the United States for what he increasingly sees as the inevitable war.  The signs of impending war with Imperial Japan continue to mount.  The reader will not be disappointed with the wild ride that plays out in this story.
