The Daedalus Files is published. (SWIC is SEALS Winged Insertion Command.) The book contains the four Daedalus novellas: Daedalus, Daedalus LEO, Daedalus Squad, and Daedalus Combat. The four stories are about the development and deployment of a hard-shell wingsuit called the Gryphon. The wingsuit is first tested from 80,000 meters, then from Low Earth Orbit by one individual, then by six together, and then it is deployed in a combat venue.

      Using a new Gryphon-7 hardshell wingsuit, Tiger Baily, irreverent member of the Navy SEALS Winged Insertion Command, makes a harrowing first experimental base jump from the edge of Space, the Fred Noonan Skyport 80,000 meters above Jarvis Island in the Equatorial Pacific. Tiger's target, which he must reach to survive, is Kiritimati Island, a tiny isolated atoll 379 km northeast of Jarvis over ever-threatening and oh-so-deep ocean waters.

     The new armor-plated Gryphon-10 is ready to launch, and Derek "Tiger" Baily will test-fly it from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for the first time, more than double the Gryphon-7's best drop. Orbital re-entry in nothing more than a wingsuit carries extreme risks, yet Tiger and his team must rely on the numbers - and their own practical know-how - as they plan for the worst and hope for the best. Ride along with Tiger as he's catapulted into space by Slingshot, then dropped from a record-obliterating 160 klicks. Strap in for a story that flies like the Gryphon-10.

     Derek "Tiger" Baily and his SEALs Winged Insertion Command (SWIC) drop from low Earth orbit to test the enhanced Gryphon-10 MK 4 hard shell wingsuit for combat applications. Every contingency has been planned. 

     The six-man squad believes it is fully prepared for hurtling around the world and staging critical reentry. But challenged to innovate life-or-death solutions with only seconds to spare, Baily's team might not survive intact. 

     Fly with Tiger and the SWIC on a mission that surely will test the limits of their training in Robert G. This is Williscroft's third installment following Daedalus and Daedalus LEO.

     A U.S. senator—likely next president—has been seized by pirates and held for $100 million ransom. Derek “Tiger” Baily and his SEAL Winged Insertion Command (SWIC) get the call: a rescue operation with soldiers zooming in from the sky, the 6-man squad’s first real combat operation. Hurtling around the world in the new Gryphon-10 MK 4 hardshell wingsuit, Tiger and his team must literally improvise on the fly when everything goes wrong and they have everything to lose. Go into battle with Tiger and the SWIC on a mission of life or death in Robert G. Williscroft’s fourth and final installment following Daedalus, Daedalus LEO, and Daedalus Squad.

      Braxton Thorpe has discovered a threat to the entire Solar System, but he has a problem: he's dead.  

     Frozen at death, he awakens to find himself uploaded into an electronic matrix. Exploring beyond the matrix and the larger GlobalNet, he discovers the Oort, a distributed electronic entity older than humanity, with an unnerving secret: aliens wiped out nearly all life on Earth once, and are coming back to do it again.  The mathematical entity that is Thorpe has to find a way to convince humans of the threat, and in time to do something about it. But how, and what?  

     If you've read Niven's A World Out of Time or Taylor's We Are Legion, the opening of Icicle will only seem familiar. Buckle up for a wild ride; you ain't seen nothing.

 Winning the Cold War is in the balance.

     A super-secret, off-the-books spy organization; a security-clearance starting at top secret and going up from there; an attack by giant squid during a 1,000-foot dive while breathing an exotic gas; a cat's whisker escape from death during a three-day decompression - and that's just the first two chapters of Operation Ivy Bells before the action really gets underway.

     Blending personal experience and real-world events in a fictional wrapping, Operation Ivy Bells offers a never-before-seen glimpse of these heroic men fearlessly facing death to gather the intel that tipped the scales to win the Cold War.

      A super-secret, off-the-books submarine operation during the Cold War. In a fast-paced, personal narrative, J.R. “Mac” MacDowell details a breathtaking series of events during a super-secret acoustic array laying operation under the Arctic ice pack at the height of the Cold War. Riding the nuclear submarine USS Teuthis, Mac and his saturation diving team surreptitiously enter the frozen Arctic waters to place two Top Secret SOSUS arrays on the seafloor under the ice pack. They face a giant Camaneroceras (thought to be long extinct), polar bears, Greenland sharks, Orcas, and other hungry marine critters. They are dogged by a high-performance new Soviet nuclear submarine that is determined to prevent Teuthis from laying the arrays. ​     Mac and his team find themselves in an under-ice, hand-to-hand battle with Soviet divers that results in the surreptitious capture of one of the Soviet subs inside U.S. territorial waters.     This is the second book in the continuing Mac McDowell Mission Series.

     While Mac McDowell is with his sweetheart, Kate, in Kodiak, Alaska, they are attacked by a Soviet sleeper cell and nearly killed because of Mac’s involvement in the take-over of the stranded Soviet Alfa sub off Pt. Barrow, Alaska. Mac and his team return to the stricken Alfa on the nuclear sub USS Teuthis. Using the DSRV Mystic, they board and assume control of the Soviet sub. For the next 31 days, they drive the nearly automated sub through the Arctic ice pack, harassed by Soviet subs whose mission is to retake or sink the Alfa. With a non-functional reactor, they are forced to recharge the Alfa’s batteries daily while submerged under the ice pack, using divers from Teuthis. They confront determined Soviet sub skippers, Soviet Spetsnaz divers, hostile marine life—Orcas, Polar Bears, Greenland Sharks, and a harsh Arctic winter under the ice pack.
    Their survival depends on overcoming all these obstacles, and making it out alive is not guaranteed.  

     A scientist takes on the distortions and outright lies foisted on the public! Robert G. Williscroft firmly establishes that the sky is not falling. By using scientific research and solid reasoning, he explains some of the most disturbing problems facing our nation including global warming, the safety of nuclear power, the politics of education, and the oxymoron of government efficiency. With a clear message, he discerns what is true from what is merely Chicken Little gibberish.
