Jack Kalman was very good at what he did. Counter-terrorism was a
dirty business and he understood he had to play dirty to win.
He liked what he did when politics didn't get in the way. Agents
couldn't always play by the rules and Jack usually didn't.
This time the Bureau was dead wrong. He knew it. The truth was
better than the phony P.R. and Jack was going to prove it even if
it ended his career.

Code to Zero is a fast-paced thriller about the satellite space race in the Cold War, from number one bestselling author Ken Follett.
A Man with No Memory
A man wakes up to find himself lying on the ground in a railway station, his mind stripped bare of all recollection. He has no idea how he got there; he does not even know his own name. Convinced he is a drunken down and out, it isn’t until a newspaper report about a satellite launch catches his eye, that he suspects all is not what it seems . . .
A Race for the Future
The year is 1958, and America is about to launch its first satellite in a desperate attempt to match the Soviet Sputnik and regain the lead in the space race. As Luke Lucas gradually unravels the mystery of his amnesia, he realizes that his fate is bound up with that of the rocket that stands ready on launch pad 26B at Cape Canaveral.
A World on the Brink
As he relearns the story of his life, he uncovers long-kept secrets about his wife, his best friend and the woman he once loved more than life itself. But even more terrifying is the dark secret they tried to make him forget, a secret that threatens America’s survival.
In the post WWII era of the Cold War America and the free world
battled to contain Communism within the boundaries of the USSR and
communist China. The CIA waged one front of this war.
The world's most ruthlessly efficient assassin, Jason Bourne, has
carved a bloody swathe through all his opponents but now he's
facing the one force he can't defeat - his own past - in the latest
thrilling entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling
series. Three years ago, Jason Bourne embarked on a mission in
Estonia with his partner and lover, a fiery UK-based Treadstone
agent codenamed Nova. Their job was to rescue a Russian scientist
and activist, the leader of an anti-Putin protest movement, who'd
recently been smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the midst of an FSB
manhunt. They failed. Now, three years later, everything has
changed for Bourne. Nova is gone, killed in a mass shooting in Las
Vegas. Bourne is a lone operative working in the shadows for
Treadstone. He's ready for a new mission when his handler bring him
shocking news. The Estonian mission was a set up. Their target had
not been killed. She is still in hiding in Russia and the Russian
State Intelligence Agency is desperately seeking her. Bourne must
find her first, but his race to correct the errors of the past will
lead him to one inevitable conclusion: Some secrets should stay
buried.
'The authority of moral law is universal and obligates all.
Morality and law are the fundamental condition for social order.
States and nations are built upon law, without which they perish.
-John Paul II While each presidential assassination was a tragedy,
the last was most egregious involving conspiracy among politicians,
military, corporate CEOs and organized crime. Sixty-six percent of
Americans did not believe the official government report that one
man acted alone in the assassination. Substantial credible evidence
points to a cover up by both elected and appointed officials. Coup
D'etat explores the premise of Mafia involvement and answers the
question, what if he lived. What if he exposed them? In all of
history there has never been a nation quite like the United States.
America's founders had a specific purpose in mind when they crafted
the words that would guide the government of the new republic. They
created a form of government that has become the envy of the world.
In the United States, the people elect their leaders, who govern
within constitutional guidelines. peacefully through recall or at
the next election. In congressional districts all over the United
States, a handful of people continue to elect politicians who
probably would not make it to office if more Americans voted. In
the election of 2000, the country was nearly torn apart when the
election came down to a 561-vote difference. Having risked their
lives and fortune standing up against repressive England, America's
forefathers would probably not be pleased to see what their dream
has become. 'Morality and law are the fundamental conditions for
social order. Have we become so polarized that murdering a leader
we disagree with is acceptable?
Ivan Kolev claws an opening under a barbed wire fence in a driving
rain and escapes from Communist Bulgaria to Greece, and into a
Greek Army ambush.
Kolev's freedom is short-lived. After weeks of interrogation,
the CIA recruits him to return to Bulgaria clandestinely on an
espionage mission.
He trains physically for months in the rugged mountains of
northern Greece shepherded by a tough Greek, a former guerilla
fighter. Then, when proficient in the use of a pistol, map, compass
and camera, he is dispatched by the CIA to Bulgaria.
Enter the world of Cold War espionage as Kolev voluntarily
surrenders to the Bulgarian Intelligence Service and agrees to
become a double agent, a decision that exposes him to violence and
the risk of death, and one that changes his life forever.
"The Mission" also portrays the rarely told story of the reality
of life in the CIA's clandestine service; the dangers its
operations officers face and the impact on their personal
lives.
