SOMETIMES MYSTERIES ARE NEVER SOLVED. SOMETIMES THERE ARE NO
ANSWERS.
DR. LAURA PAVLOV, an American forensic archaeologist, is about to
unravel a mystery that promises to shed light on one of the
twentieth century's greatest enigmas. Digging on the outskirts of
the present-day Russian city of Ekaterin-burg, where the Romanov
royal family was executed in July 1918, Pavlov discovers a body
perfectly preserved in the permafrost of a disused mine shaft.
The remains offer dramatic new clues to the disappearance of the
Romanovs, and in particular their famous daughter, Princess
Anastasia, whose murder has always been in question. Pavlov's
discovery sets her on an unlikely journey to Ireland, where a
carefully hidden account of a years-old covert mis-sion is about to
change the accepted course of world history and hurl her back into
the past--into a maelstrom of deceit, secrets, and lies.
Drawn from historical fact, "The Romanov Conspiracy" is a
page-turning story of love and friendship tested by war, and a
desperate battle between revenge and redemption, set against one of
the most bloody and brutal revolu-tions in world history.
"Meade and Ronan pull back the curtain on the airline industry and
shine a bright light on the dark corners. Everyone who flies or
cares about someone who flies should read this eye-opening account
of the current state of commercial air travel. What you don't see
can hurt you." Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, retired airline
pilot, consultant, speaker, CBS News Aviation and Safety Expert,
and author of Making a Difference: Stories of Vision and Courage
from America's Leaders and Highest Duty: My Search for What Really
Matters. As with the Air France Flight 447 tragedy, much of the
time air crashes are a confluence of events-a cascade of bad luck,
bad decisions, inappropriate airline company policy, the failure of
aviation regulators, and sometimes insufficient training, or
various combinations of all five. Seconds to Disaster will
demonstrate that part of that bad luck is often aided by the
airline industry's own endless and aggressive pursuit of
bottom-line profit which contributes to a creeping erosion of
safety standards and puts both passenger and crew lives at serious
risk. These revelations are made in the hope that any resulting
debate will contribute to making air travel a safer experience for
both crew and passengers alike. Seconds to Disaster will not only
pose and answer questions as to why accidents happen, but also
offer solutions as to how they can be further prevented. And it
will explore a highly contentious issue: what parts do both the
airline industry and the worldwide watchdog authorities responsible
for governing that industry contribute in playing dice with
passenger lives, through negligence and collusion.
A secret that must never be revealed. . . .
An evil never meant to be repeated. . . .
Seventy years ago, the greatest crime against humanity was
committed.
Today it's only a heartbeat away from happening again.
In Paraguay, an elderly businessman kills himself. In Berlin, a
neo-Nazi is gunned down in the street.
Trying to connect the murders, intelligence agent Joe Volkmann,
aided by a beautiful young German journalist, travels to Paraguay
and discovers a clue--the charred remains of an old black-and-white
photograph in a remote jungle house. A photograph that holds the
first key to an extraordinary secret--and a plot to create the
Fourth Reich.
Volkmann soon uncovers that a string of bizarre killings around the
world are all linked by a single purpose. And he also discovers
that the journalist he trusted, Erica Kranz, is somehow linked to
the plan.
Haunted by the ghosts of the past, and desperate to unearth an
extraordinary secret, Volkmann and Kranz are plunged into a
dangerous world of terrorism, fanaticism, and deception as they
stare true evil in the face.
SOME SECRETS ARE NEVER MEANT TO BE REVEALED. FOR BEHIND THIS
MYSTERY LIES A REVELATION THAT WILL MAKE YOU QUESTION EVERYTHING
YOU BELIEVE IN.
In the desert near Jerusalem, an archaeologist is murdered after he
uncovers stunning evidence in a Dead Sea Scroll about the life and
teachings of Jesus Christ. The two-thousand-year-old parchment
containing enigmatic references to not one but two messiahs is
stolen before it can be fully translated.
In Rome, a charismatic American priest with long-hidden secrets is
elected pope, setting off widespread panic among some of the
faithful who question whether he is the Antichrist or the world's
new savior. As the conspiracy over the scroll explodes into a
political and religious standoff, two people find themselves on the
run, trying to stay one step ahead of unknown assassins in their
search for truth.
Archaeologist Jack Cane and Israeli police inspector Lela Raul must
solve the mystery of the Second Messiah and uncover the real secret
behind the message of Jesus before they are permanently silenced
and the scroll and its contents are forever lost to humanity.
Compared to the likes of John le Carre and Tom Clancy, Glenn Meade
offers a tantalizing blend of fact and fiction that takes you on a
thrilling ride from the first page to the last.
Al igual que en las tragedias del vuelo del Air France 447 o el
Spanair 5022, la mayoria de las veces los accidentes aereos son una
confluencia de eventos -una cascada de mala suerte, malas
decisiones, politicas inapropiadas de las companias aereas, el
fracaso de los reguladores y, algunas veces, falta de
entrenamiento, o una combinacion de todos ellos. Segundos para el
Desastre demuestra que la parte de mala suerte es a menudo ayudada
por la inagotable y agresiva busqueda de beneficio a toda costa de
las aerolineas, que contribuye a la decrepita erosion de los
estandares de seguridad y pone en serio riesgo tanto la vida de los
pasajeros como de las tripulaciones. Estas revelaciones se hacen
con la esperanza de que el debate resultante contribuya a hacer del
transporte aereo una experiencia segura para todos. Segundos para
el Desastre no solo genera y contesta preguntas como por que
ocurren los accidentes, sino que ofrece soluciones a como pueden
ser prevenidos. Y ademas se explora el contencioso asunto de que
partes de la industria aerea y de los reguladores a nivel mundial,
responsables de supervisar a la industria, contribuyen a jugar a
los dados con la vida de los pasajeros, a traves de la negligencia
y la connivencia.
