Inspired by a true story, two teens kidnapped by an African warlord
find salvation through love in a powerful and healing historical
novel from the #1 bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky and
The Last Green Valley. Anthony Opoka and Florence Okori are coming
of age in Uganda in the 1990s. Outstanding students, they believe
in being good humans before they are kidnapped and forced into the
fanatical Lord’s Resistance Army. In a legion of young recruits,
no one gets closer than Anthony to powerful messianic warlord
Joseph Kony and his darkest secrets. To stay sane as he spirals
through chaos, Anthony clings to his childhood lessons about being
a good human. Florence’s upbringing grounds her, too, helping her
keep her dreams alive even as she’s pulled deeper into the
insanity of Kony’s war. At the lowest points of their lives,
certain they’ll never go home, Anthony and Florence meet by
chance, fall in love, and begin to dream of surviving their
captivity. They devote their lives to helping their fellow child
soldiers escape bondage and return to their families and redemption
by following the stars. By turns tender, shocking, moving,
desperate, and ultimately triumphant, Florence and Anthony’s
story is an epic drama of humanity, a life-affirming tale, and an
experience readers will never forget.

Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the
triumphant, epic tale of one young man's incredible courage and
resilience during one of history's darkest hours. Pino Lella wants

him out of combat. But after Pino is injured, he is recruited at
the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf
Hitler's left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third
Reich's most mysterious and powerful commanders. Now, with the
opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command,
Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by
fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and
for the life he dreams they will one day share. Fans of All the
Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken will enjoy this
riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes a new historical novel inspired by one
family's incredible story of daring, survival, and triumph. In late
March 1944, as Stalin's forces push into Ukraine, young Emil and
Adeline Martel must make a terrible decision: Do they wait for the
Soviet bear's intrusion and risk being sent to Siberia? Or do they
reluctantly follow the wolves-murderous Nazi officers who have
pledged to protect "pure-blood" Germans? The Martels are one of
many families of German heritage whose ancestors have farmed in
Ukraine for more than a century. But after already living under
Stalin's horrifying regime, Emil and Adeline decide they must run
in retreat from their land with the wolves they despise to escape
the Soviets and go in search of freedom. Caught between two warring
forces and overcoming horrific trials to pursue their hope of
immigrating to the West, the Martels' story is a brutal, complex,
and ultimately triumphant tale that illuminates the extraordinary
power of love, faith, and one family's incredible will to survive
and see their dreams realized.

Robin Monarch is the CIA's top field asset. He is also an expert thief. Son of an American cat burglar and an Argentinian con artist, orphaned at thirteen, his is a character forged and hardened amid the ruthless slum gangs of Buenos Aires.
During a field operation in Istanbul, Monarch uncovers evidence of corruption stemming back to the very top of the CIA and Congress. This discovery - project Green Fields - is enough to make him rethink his loyalties, and go rogue. An international crisis is
sparked, with Monarch at its centre.
Washington politicians, European criminals and Middle Eastern arms dealers are all hunting him - to force him to share his information, or to ensure his silence. Or, Monarch fears, both.
To survive, Monarch will have to rely on a code he learned as a starving boy, orphaned and abandoned in the slums of South America. This code is the eighteen-rule-strong La Fraternidad des Ladrones, the Brotherhood of Thieves.

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF AMERICAN MEDICINE/Finding a Cure for a
Terminal System From The Introduction: During the recent Supreme
Court battle, great emphasis was placed on access to health care
and insurance -- but health insurance reform is not the same as
healthcare reform. Nothing fundamental has changed, meanwhile,
about costs that will continue to skyrocket. The major businesses,
including the legal industry, will obtain enormous financial gains
from the new laws and regulations. The mandate to some 45 million
middle-class Americans to buy insurance is another corporate
giveaway. The pharmaceutical and insurance interests want to make
more money off a sick population, but the system under them
atrophies, it does not grow. The more the economy and the health of
Americans deteriorate, the more money these businesses manage to
make via the politicians they buy out. But such a system has no
future as the predator ultimately drains the host. The compensatory
measure is to go to Congress to get laws passed that force people
to pay these companies anyway -- like the Medicare Modernization
Act of 2003, or the mandatory insurance law set to go into effect
in 2014. This book offers some dramatic possibilities for a
turnaround in our healthcare system, and not just in health
insurance. The author, a doctor with 45 years of experience in
American medicine, shows us how we can reverse our current, swift
decline. His agenda is both comprehensive and profound.
Private, the world's most renowned investigation firm, has been
commissioned to provide security for the 2012 Olympic games in
London. Its agents are the smartest, fastest, and most
technologically advanced in the world, and 400 of them have been
transferred to London to protect over 10,000 competitors who
represent more than 200 countries.
The opening ceremony is still hours away when Private investigator
and single father of twins, Nigel Steele, is called to the scene of
a ruthless murder. A high-ranking member of the games' organizing
committee and his mistress have been killed. It's clear that it
wasn't a crime of passion, but one of precise calculation and
execution.
Newspaper reporter Karen Pope receives a letter from a person who
calls himself Cronus claiming responsibility for the murders. He
also proclaims that he will restore the Olympics to their ancient
glory and will destroy all who have corrupted the games with lies,
cheating, and greed. Karen immediately hires Private to examine the
letter, and she and Nigel uncover a criminal genius who won't stop
until he's ended the games for good. "America's #1 storyteller"
("Forbes") delivers an exhilarating, action-packed thriller that
brings the splendor and emotion of the Olympics to a wildly
powerful climax.
