In the tradition of John le Carre, the bestselling,
impossible-to-put-down, espionage thriller that is "a primer in
twenty-first century spying" ("The New York Times Book Review"),
written with the insider detail that only a veteran CIA operative
could know--and shortlisted for an Edgar Award.
State intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in
the cast-iron bureaucracy of post-Soviet intelligence. Drafted
against her will to become a "Sparrow," a trained seductress in the
service, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a
first-tour CIA officer who handles the CIA's most sensitive
penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young intelligence
officers, trained in their respective spy schools, collide in a
charged atmosphere of tradecraft, deception, and, inevitably, a
forbidden spiral of carnal attraction that threatens their careers
and the security of America's most valuable mole in Moscow. Seeking
revenge against her soulless masters, Dominika begins a fateful
double life, recruited by the CIA to ferret out a high-level
traitor in Washington; hunt down a Russian illegal buried deep in
the US military and, against all odds, to return to Moscow as the
new-generation penetration of Putin's intelligence service.
Dominika and Nathaniel's impossible love affair and twisted spy
game come to a deadly conclusion in the shocking climax of this
electrifying, up-to-the minute spy thriller.
Taking place in today's Russia, still ruled with an iron fist by
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, "Red Sparrow" displays author Jason
Matthews's insider knowledge of espionage, counter-espionage,
surveillance tradecraft, recruiting spies, interrogation, and
intelligence gathering. As "The Washington Post" hails, this is a
"sublime and sophisticated debut...a first-rate novel as noteworthy
for its superior style as for its gripping depiction of a secretive
world."

A teenage boy on trial can see and heal the human light fields,
becoming a miracle healer while the world argues over his case.
Sequel to The Little Universe. A soul transfer has Jim awaken in
the hospital in another person's body. He has no memory of his past
life or awareness of the crime committed before the near-fatal
accident, a felony done by the body's previous occupant. Already a
person of global interest due to the case and his miraculous
recovery from brain-death, Jim still has a more stunning surprise.
The crash has damaged his pineal gland, the very center of his
brain, resulting in overproduction of the neurochemical
Dimethyltriptamine (DMT). Also called "the spirit molecule" for the
profound hallucinations DMT causes, Jim's elevated levels enable
him to see the lights within living things, including the auras and
chakras of people. In time, Jim learns to manipulate these lights
and correct imperfect flow to the way of natural design. The effect
is spontaneous healing. His nurse, Vicki, discovers the gift. Her
experiments confirm Jim can heal other patients, even those who
haven't been cured by the world's best doctors. As people become
aware of his healings, a rumor surfaces in the hospital and around
the globe: that Jim is a messiah. All the while he's on trial for a
crime he didn't commit. Does he deserve a life sentence, or is he a
miracle healer the world desperately needs? One thing's for sure:
everyone has an opinion. Nurses want to sleep with him,
endorsements come from every angle, skeptics come to debunk him,
patients need his healing touch, and still others want to train him
to become the leader he was destined to be. "Jim's Life" is a story
of spirituality, the courts of justice and the power of love.
Subjects include: reincarnation, healing by touch, energy healing,
metaphysical, inspirational, psychic, past lives, meditation,
spirituality, spiritual journey, new thought, new age, new adult.

What if you could create a universe: a miniature self-enclosed
universe? Imagine having probing cameras that could focus to any
star or planet looking for life. And once you found life, what if
you could accelerate time and watch it evolve? What might you find?
These are not the questions Jon Gruber ponders as he pedals to his
next carpentry job. Over thirty and unmarried, he doesn't even own
a car. But a new assignment challenges him to rethink his place in
the world. Is he a loser? Or is he about to become a partner in an
experiment of phenomenal discovery? Webster Adams, astronomer,
inventor, and Jon's latest client, performs such an experiment. To
Webster's amazement, he finds planets and cultures beyond his
wildest dreams. His little universe turns into a discovery
machine--an overnight goldmine. He and his crew observe societies
so far past them on levels of technology and spirituality, that the
world will be forever changed. Webster's lovely daughter, Whitney,
also overwhelms Jon. She opens his eyes to the deeper meanings
within the experiment by finding the most advanced beings within
the project--the spirit guides from Theta 7. The Little Universe is
a mind expanding concept. For Webster Adams, one question
immediately comes to light. "If I can create a universe," he
wonders, "then who created ours?" Can it be proven that some form
of God exists? Or is life random and free-flowing without purpose?
Along with Jon, you, the reader, will be presented a new
perspective on life and your role in the great mystery of the
universe.
What if you could create a universe - a miniature, self-enclosed
universe? Imagine having probing cameras that could focus to any

Primordial soup. Strange beings. Alien societies. Profound wisdom.
These are not the questions Jon Gruber ponders as he pedals to his
next carpentry job. Over thirty and unmarried, he doesn't even own
a car. But a new assignment challenges him to rethink his place in
the world. Is he a loser? Or is he about to become a partner in an

Whitney, also overwhelms Jon. She opens his eyes to the deeper
meanings within the experiment - to the divine nature and
connectedness of all life, by finding the most advanced beings
within the project - the spirit guides from Theta 7. The Big Bang
is a God-game at multiple levels. For Webster Adams, one question
immediately comes to light. "If I can create a universe," he
wonders, "then who created ours?" The debate between evolution and
creation is the subtle undertone throughout Webster's story. Can it
be proven that God exists? Or is life random and free-flowing
without design or purpose? Along with Jon, you, the reader, will be
presented a newperspective on life and your role in the great
mystery of the universe.
