In "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams" (Scribner's, 2015), Stephen King wrote that just because a story has been published, it doesn't mean it was in its final state when it went to press. As King posited, this is because any writing can benefit from another revision. So, this anthology brings together my collection of short stories. It is a compendium of my published works that have undergone another revision and some of my newest writing.

Industrial espionage involves the theft or unauthorized access of proprietary information, strategies, or technologies belonging to a company, government agency, or non-profit organization. Understanding industrial espionage is, therefore, crucial so that these entities can protect their intellectual property, trade secrets, and confidential information.Dr Henry Prunckun calls on his experience in the field of security as well as his research into the topic to highlight how such activities can have severe consequences for those targeted, including loss of competitive advantage, damage to reputation, financial losses, and in extreme cases, bankruptcy. He points out that industrial espionage can also have national security implications if it involves the theft of information related to defense or critical infrastructure.This technical monograph will help readers understand the methods and motivations behind industrial espionage and how organizations can take steps to safeguard their sensitive information. Additionally, it can help organizations detect and prevent such activities and work with law enforcement agencies to hold perpetrators accountable.

What is terrorism? How do terrorists operate - what are their means, targets, and motivations? How can governments prevent terrorist attacks from happening? Henry Prunckun and Troy Whitford address these questions in their systematic, comprehensive exploration of terrorism and counterterrorism.

In 1907, then-Major-General Sir David Henderson, wrote this watershed military text on reconnaissance. But, perhaps because the topic of reconnaissance was a bit obscure, it never gained the circulation that Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" enjoyed. Nevertheless, militaries still have reconnaissance units and this activity has been used in every major conflict since Henderson fought in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Although Henderson's text is grounded in a form of warfare that is no longer practiced - horse mounted operations - the principles and practices of the art can be applied in the modern context. Prunckun's analytic annotations of "The Art of Reconnaissance" shows that not only is the art that Henderson espoused over a century ago still relevant, but his scientific way of thinking on the topic has been incorporated into different aspects of present-day intelligence gathering.
