The Oblong Dots takes you deep inside Global Industries, a huge complex where top-secret military and industrial software is developed. The military software alone are more desirable than drugs, and in the wrong hands, could mean disaster for the United States . . . if not the world.

Mike Welling's job as the new technical security chief is to make sure no unauthorized software leaves company property. . . but there's something he doesn't know . . .
After an auto accident, Mike begins to suspect that the operation performed on him is not exactly what the doctor described, and as his suspicions are confirmed, he is torn between a desire to learn and solve the puzzles himself or turn the task over to his superiors and the authorities.
Unfortunately, he chooses the former.
Deep into the plot, he can't retreat, especially when he is mysteriously urged to continue.
Adding to his problem is the new woman in his life, who seems to have a secret of her own . . .

Someone is killing Abagail Farnsworth's expensive Scottish terriers. The elderly lady is angry and distraught, and hires a struggling private detective, who takes the case quickly when a large sum of money is offered.
Desperate to keep his fledgling detective agency afloat, Alexander Moses reluctantly begins his investigation, considered childlike and comedic by his former police partner.
His first efforts prove both fruitless and futile -- and discouraging, but as the case develops, it becomes clear that something more sinister is involved. His client has a sister with whom she shares a large amount of sibling rivalry. And some of the staff have cloudy backgrounds.
Then, a secret from the past threatens the Farnsworth name and fortune, even murder.
And Alexander Moses is the only one to prevent it.

A newly developed machine that will allow access to every important installation in the world, particularly in the United States, is to be sold to terrorists.

Two former college buddies, Tyler Bridges and Gerald Franks, are accidentally reunited and become involved in stopping the machine's development before it ends up in enemy hands. Their plan is a simple one: steal the device and destroy the plans. . . Easier said than done.
Meanwhile, Tyler has problems. His girlfriend's father hates him, the bank is foreclosing on him, and thieves have stolen a meteorite he recovered, which has dashed his hopes for financial security. Gerald has some problems, too; he is being blackmailed and fears for his life.
But when Tyler finds out that his stolen meteorite is used as fuel for the machine, he vows to destroy it and foil the developer's project in the process. The man who developed the machine, however, has some plans of his own.
