high-action thrillers created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik.
Tom Clancy's Op-Centre, the series of international thrillers
centred on the National Crisis Management Centre in Washington, is
now firmly established as a bestselling phenomenon -- a must for
technothriller fans around the world. The previous volume in the
series, Balance of Power, was yet another Sunday Times top-ten
bestseller. Now that remarkable record is set to continue, with a
spectacular new story -- State of Siege. After years of handling
some of the world's most dangerous international crises, Paul Hood
is about to step down from his position as Director of the
Op-Centre -- only for the latest crisis to erupt much too close to
home. A disgruntled group of ex-members of the UN peackeeping force
have banded together and pulled off a series of daring robberies.
Now they have devised a plan to make USD100,000,000. Armed with
nerve gas, they enter the UN building in New York and take ten
ambassadors hostage, threatening to kill one every half-hour. The
international crisis that ensues is beyond anything that Paul Hood
has ever faced before. . .
The latest volume in the acclaimed series of high-tech, high-action

much closer to home. For the US President -- the man with the most
demanding job in the world -- is cracking up under the
pressure.Hood has also received disturbing reports about growing
tension between Iran and the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan
over Caspian Sea oil. Alarmingly, it appears that someone with
their own agenda within the US State Department is plotting to
start a war by sending a secret team of agents to blow up a Caspian
oil rig and laying the blame on the Iranians.With the increasingly
disoriented President sidelined, Hood must act fast. His only hope
is to join forces with his counterpart in Russia's own Op-Centre in
a desperate attempt to avert the crisis in the Caspian -- and to
root out the rogue elements within the US Government who are
threatening to bring down the President.

well-placed Spanish diplomats sense it. Op-Centre's intelligence

The fourth volume in the highly popular new series of high-tech
thrillers created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik. Syrian
terrorists have attacked a dam inside the borders of Turkey,
threatening the water supply of their very homeland. It is not
insanity, but the first step in a deceptively simple plan: force
all-out war in the Middle East. This will draw elite troops out of
the capital of Damascus, leaving the Syrian president unprotected
-- and an easy target for assassination. What the terrorists don't
know is that a new Regional Op-Centre is now on-line in Greece. A
mobile version of the permanent crisis management facility, the ROC
is a cutting-edge surveillance and information mecca. And its team
can see exactly what the Syrian rebels are trying to do. But the
terrorists are more resourceful than anyone thinks. They also have
ways of obtaining classified information. And the Regional
Op-Centre -- the United States' newest toy -- is a prize not to be
passed up. . .
The second volume in the bestselling series of high-tech,
high-action thrillers created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik --

volume in the series, Acts of War. In this second volume, the new
President of Russia is trying to create a new democratic regime.
But there are strong elements within the country that are trying to
stop him: the ruthless Russian Mafia, the right-wing nationalists
and those nefarious forces that will do whatever it takes to return
Russia to the days of the Czar. The Op-Centre team begins a race
against the clock and against the hardliners. Their task is made
even more difficult by the discovery of a Russian counterpart. . .
but this one's controlled by those same repressive hardliners.

of operatives in Washington DC. When a job is too dirty, or too
dangerous, it is the only place the US government can turn. But
nothing can prepare Director Paul Hood and his Op-Centre crisis
management team for what they are about to uncover -- a very real,
very frightening power play that could unleash new players in a new
world order. . .
The eighth volume in the fast-selling series of high-tech,
high-action thrillers centred on Washington's National Crisis
Management Centre. The National Crisis Management Centre in
Washington DC - otherwise known as the Op-Centre - is a beating
heart of defence, intelligence and crisis management technology,
run by a crack team of operatives. When world peace is threatened
by an international crisis that seems beyond the scope of normal
forces, it is the one place the US government can turn. This time,
it's a mission that only Striker - the military arm of Op-Centre -
can handle: the capture of an Islamic cleric who is stirring up a
rebellion against the Indian government. But when the border
between India and Pakistan erupts, the Striker team gets caught in
the crossfire. Now America's most proficient covert team is trapped
in a fully-fledged war. Their fate rests in the hands of a devious
double agent whose own agenda is unknown - a man who could just as
easily sell them out as set them free...
This book is the second book in the "Revolution in Health" series.
The first book, "A Revolution in Health Through Nutritional
Biochemistry," was written by the authors in 2007. They now follow
up that work with this groundbreaking book, "A Revolution in Health
Part 2: How to Take Charge of Your Health." In these books they
describe how they have put into practice more than 100 years of
research and how you can use this information to revolutionize your
life.
"The MetaCT 400 test and MetaCT Program provided me with
improvement in my condition that I was told was not possible. For
about a tenth of the cost of conventional treatments, Dr.
Neustadt's treatments have reduced my IBS symptoms by over 90%." --
Steve, Spokane, Wash.
"Three days after starting the program], I felt like a new
person. Most of the chronic muscle, bone, and joint aches I have
been having for over 10 years went away. I felt stronger, lighter
on my feet, and for the first time I tired out my children while
playing with them outside. The 'restless leg' condition I have been
having at night stopped too. The slight depression I felt was
lifted as well. I now sleep better, deeper, and wake up more
refreshed. I have been to sleep studies and have seen many doctors,
and nothing has helped as immediately."
-- John, Trussville, Ala.
The culmination of more than ten years of research by the authors,
this book describes for the first time ever the scientific basis
and clinical applications of medical biochemistry, a fundamental
paradigm shift in medicine. This paradigm shift is so revolutionary
that it has been called the Neustadt-Pieczenik Paradigm, which is
the fusion and clinical applications of biochemistry,
thermodynamics, physiology, fractal enzymology, nutritional
medicine and laboratory testing to identify and correct the
underlying causes of many diseases that are considered genetic in
nature (eg, Phenylketonuria) and those that are not considered
genetic (eg, mature onset asthma, depression, fatigue). In this new
medicine, doctors must reject the failed, purely symptomatic
treatments they learned in medical school and focus on learning and
treating the underlying biochemical causes of disease. From the
first documented clinical observations of biochemical individuality
in the early 1900s to the development of sophisticated biochemical
tests, the authors provide a detailed and stunning analysis of a
new medical model to help millions and cure our ailing healthcare
system. They uniquely contrast the conventional medical approach
with the functional biochemical approach through extensive case
studies on depression, arthritis, migraine headaches, seizures,
rashes and more. This book is a must-read for physicians, medical
students, nutritionists, and anyone looking to take charge of their
health.
Biochemical testing is a revolutionary concept in medicine that has
saved many lives and improved the health of countless others.
Symptoms and diseases have underlying biochemical causes, and
advanced testing technologies can now detect the exact steps within
pathways causing diseases, including depression, fatigue,
adult-onset asthma, seizure disorders, multiple sclerosis,
osteoporosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, irritable bowel
syndrome, memory loss, and more. Biochemical abnormalities may then
be corrected using targeted nutrient therapies. Nutritional
Biochemistry is a revolutionary approach that is redefining
medicine and providing clinicians the ability treat the underlying
causes of disease instead of just ameliorating symptoms with drugs.
"The principles set out in this book are at the same time both
ancient and revolutionary. Ancient because they have been known and
followed for thousands of years, but revolutionary in our time
because they run counter to the approach to health with which all
of us have grown up. The principles are simple: 1) most medical
approaches treat symptoms not causes; 2) most pharmaceuticals and
medicines are intended to destroy something, not add something; 3)
with our modern lives and diet, most people are lacking one or more
things essential to the proper functioning of the body and need to
add them, both to eliminate existing problems and to maintain
optimum health. These principles are always a supplement, sometimes
an alternative, to conventional medicine. "I cite my own successful
experience that they work when conventional treatments have not
done so.""
-John W. Hanes, Jr.
