The trap is baited: enemies at every corner, evidence of treason and a dark secret going back forty years... Teardrop is ready for Aubrey. A Russian defector is picked up by the Americans, and the information he yields is explosive: a secret file, codenamed 'Teardrop', contains overwhelming evidence that British Intelligence Director-General Kenneth Aubrey, has been a deep-cover Soviet agent since 1946. Aubrey is arrested in Vienna on charges of treason, his guilt compounded by allegations that he murdered a high-ranking British civil servant forty years earlier. But Aubrey's top field agent Patrick Hyde suspects foul play.

The Imagineers of War

Autor: Sharon Weinberger

Número de Páginas: 502

The definitive history of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon agency that has quietly shaped war and technology for nearly sixty years. Founded in 1958 in response to the launch of Sputnik, the agency’s original mission was to create “the unimagined weapons of the future.” Over the decades, DARPA has been responsible for countless inventions and technologies that extend well beyond military technology. Sharon Weinberger gives us a riveting account of DARPA’s successes and failures, its remarkable innovations, and its wild-eyed schemes. We see how the threat of nuclear Armageddon sparked investment in computer networking, leading to the Internet, as well as to a proposal to power a missile-destroying particle beam by draining the Great Lakes. We learn how DARPA was responsible during the Vietnam War for both Agent Orange and the development of the world’s first armed drones, and how after 9/11 the agency sparked a national controversy over surveillance with its data-mining research. And we see how DARPA’s success with self-driving cars was followed by disappointing contributions to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Weinberger has interviewed more...

Setting: CHICAGO. Cleaning toilets may seem like a boring and thankless job but not for Elandro Tirogallo, Maitre d’ of the Men’s Room at Chicago’s Five Star Hotel—the Hotel Risque. Elandro is the consummate Men’s Room Attendant. Part of his ever-increasing duties is keeping Victoria, the local drag queen out of “men’s business.” Soon two corpulent nuns—two who have never missed a meal—Srs. Disciplinata and Serenity, from Our Lady of Incarceration Catholic Church, arrive to “assess” the Tirogallo children, Barney and Pietro. Their meeting unfortunately leads to an unplanned visit to the neighborhood porno theater. Unexpectedly, their local bishop and “that Nazi lackey”of his, are out strolling near the theater and view with disdain the two sister’s dalliance. The sister’s mission, if they choose to accept it, is to duck the bishop, thus enhancing their chances of receiving the coveted “Teachers of the Year” award. And Elandro’s life takes a new and exciting turn as he is mistaken for the “World’s Greatest Surgeon,” (WGS) (who is really the notorious womanizer, Dr. Orenby Hatch). When the Soviet Premier, Petrov (their inept leader),...

Sonja's Run

Número de Páginas: 368

"Hoyt has a fresh, invigorating style that grabs the reader immediately."—The New York Times At the 1852 Christmas party hosted by Tsar Nicholas I, the plucky half-Chinese, half-Russian poet Sonja Sankova decks Peter "Colonel Cut" Koslov, who is infamous for his necklace of ears taken from serfs and Jews. In London that same night, American Jack Sandt, the Matthew Brady of Asia, conspires with Karl Marx to con the tsar into letting Sandt take daguerreotype images inside Russia. So begins this immaculately researched, wildest of romantic wild rides, an odyssey of two lovers fleeing for their lives through the vast reaches of the Russian empire. The period detail is splendid: a supper with Ivan Turgenev; a visit with the craftsmen who designed and cut gems for the Romanov tsars; a ball in a frontier town in the Urals; a glimpse of life inside the yurts of nomadic herdsmen. With Koslov and his special unit, the Wolfpack, in hot pursuit, Sonja and Jack flee Saint Petersburg, cross European Russia, and go over the Urals, there risking their lives on a turbulent mountain river. Sonja and Jack take turns telling their story, as they fall in love and marry in a Siberian chapel. In a...

" During the last days on Earth, the Bible speaks of perilous times to come. However, what might it be like for Christians before the Rapture occurs? What might they face before those last seven years? Matthew 24 speaks of "wars and rumors of wars," "…famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places." Verse 37 says, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Could we be seeing signs of the end today? This reality in today's world draws us closer to Jesus Christ's return. Although inspired by this reality, this book is a work of fiction. Joel Cohen gets a head start on his newscasting career when a mysterious city appears over their small town in Indiana. He will do anything to protect his girlfriend and family. However, when an ancient enemy attacks using forces beyond his control, their lives are all in peril. Desolation sends them back to their homeland in Israel, the heart of prophetic events affecting the world. Will Joel's family uncover the roots of the war being waged against them and get saved before the days of delusion take hold? Inspired by a pointed passage in 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12: 8 And then shall that Wicked be...

Denial? For RayAnne that seems to be the stage for launching the second season of Fishing!—in New Zealand.

Louder Than Bombs

Autor: Ed Vulliamy

Número de Páginas: 497

Part memoir, part reportage, Louder Than Bombs is a story of music from the front lines. Ed Vulliamy, a decorated war correspondent and journalist, offers a testimony of his lifelong passion for music. Vulliamy’s reporting has taken him around the world to cover the Bosnian war, the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of Communism, the Iraq wars of 1991 and 2003 onward, narco violence in Mexico, and more, places where he confronted stories of violence, suffering, and injustice. Through it all, Vulliamy has turned to music not only as a reprieve but also as a means to understand and express the complicated emotions that follow. Describing the artists, songs, and concerts that most influenced him, Vulliamy brings together the two largest threads of his life—music and war. Louder Than Bombs covers some of the most important musical milestones of the past fifty years, from Jimi Hendrix playing “Machine Gun” at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 to the Bataclan in Paris under siege in 2015. Vulliamy was present for many of these historic moments, and with him as our guide, we see them afresh, along the way meeting musicians like B. B. King, Graham Nash, Patti Smith, Daniel...

Nazarbayev – Our Friend the Dictator

Autor: Viktor Khrapunov

Número de Páginas: 179

"Like David, I am battling against a Goliath that has almost immeasurable means and powerful allies. I don't think I can win, I just want to be heard. No dictatorship lasts forever, and if my contribution can sooner or later bring about its downfall, then I will have achieved what I set out to do." The man waging this unequal war is Viktor Khrapunov. He used to be mayor of Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, and the country's Energy Minister before he was forced into exile. From Switzerland, where he now lives with his family, he brings charges against the rule of Nursultan Nazarbayev, which will soon reach its twenty-fifth year. Nazarbayev, initially welcomed as a young, dynamic president, has become a reckless and unpredictable dictator over the years. From the abusive privatization of the country's mineral resources and thriving corruption to personal intrigues and the stone-cold elimination of political opponents—Khrapunov's account of the criminal wheeling and dealing of this self-styled 'ruler of the nation' tells it how it is. Based on Khrapunov's insider knowledge from the hallways of global power, his story is also a revelation of Western apathy towards a brutal...
