FOR JACK RYAN, THE GREATEST THREAT LURKS BENEATH THE WAVES . . . AGAIN
When a Russian superweapon is let loose under the waves, it's up to
President Jack Ryan to find a countermove in the latest entry in this
#1 New York Times bestselling series.
US intelligence is reporting turmoil in the Russian navy. Their
deadliest submarine, the Belgorod, has unexpectedly launched. Who
authorised the departure? What mission is it on? And, most disturbing
of all, what weapons do the giant doors on the sub's bow hide?
It's been four decades since a similar incident with the Soviet sub,
Red October, ended happily, thanks to a young CIA analyst named Jack
Ryan.
Now, President Jack Ryan finds himself with fleets of ships, squadrons
of jets, and teams of SEALs at his command, but what he doesn't have is
insight into the plans of the Belgorod's commander. It falls to a
younger generation of Ryans to do the dangerous work that will reveal
that information.
But there's always a price to be paid. When the final moments tick
away, will Jack Ryan have to choose between the safety of his country
and the safety of his child?

Former Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson returns to Nashville ready to begin his training with the elite warriors known as the Shepherds. He thinks he knows what to expect when he arrives on the sprawling, state-of-the-art facility but quickly realizes he’ll have to find his place as the rookie leader of a new team. Then he starts having visions of an imminent attack overseas, and with the clock ticking, Jed and his team are dispatched to neutralize the threat. All the while, Jed hears whispers of another threat . . . a name that raises unexplained fear and anger throughout the Shepherds organization.
Once a military man, Nicholas Woland betrayed the Shepherds and all they stood for when he joined their enemies. After years in prison, Woland is eager to get back in action spreading chaos and death. And he has been freed for a purpose: a sinister plot that will result in hundreds of casualties and incite worldwide religious warfare for years to come.
As Woland and the Shepherds race toward a collision, Jed must rely on his gifts, his training, and his untested team to make critical decisions on a global stage—never realizing that a secret servant of the enemy is growing closer and closer to him.

On the eve of his medical retirement, Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson receives a frantic call from his estranged childhood best friend David Yarnell. David’s daughter has been kidnapped off the streets of Nashville in broad daylight. The police have no suspects and no leads. The only clue: the body of a dead priest left behind at the scene. With the clock ticking, David is growing desperate, as is his wife, Rachel . . . Jed’s first love.
Despite his painful history with David and Rachel, Jed agrees to help. But he’s spent his career as a door-kicking Navy SEAL, not an investigator. His presence immediately draws unwanted attention, creates friction with the local police, and triggers a mysterious attempt on his life. Just when he thinks things can’t get worse, it starts to happen again—the voices in his head, the nightmares, the visions. Dark memories and strange abilities, things he believed he’d left behind when he fled Nashville for the Navy at eighteen, begin to resurface.
Jed realizes that to save the missing girl, he must take a leap of faith and embrace the gifts he’s denied for all these years. To foil this dark intercept, he’ll need more than just his years as a SEAL operator, because he has no choice now but to take up arms and join the battle in the unseen spiritual warfare raging all around him. And there is far more at stake than just a missing girl: the world is not the place he thought it was—and he is not alone.
Follow the military heroes of The Shepherds series as they bring the power of light into the dark mystery of Sara Beth’s abduction.

In a world violated by terror, the old lines have blurred. Meet the
next generation of covert ops. John Dempsey's life-as an elite Tier
One Navy SEAL named Jack Kemper-is over. A devastating terrorist
action catapults him from a world of moral certainty and decisive
orders into the shadowy realm of espionage, where ambiguity is the
only rule. His new mission: hunt down those responsible for the
greatest tragedy in the history of the US Special Ops and bring
them to justice. But how does a man torn between duty and revenge
walk the line and preserve his soul? As Dempsey struggles with the
games of spies, the case propels him across the globe in a
desperate effort to prevent a new, horrifying attack on American
soil. Once, John Dempsey followed orders blindly. Now he sees
behind the curtain, and the security of the civilized world rests
on one question: Can a Tier One Navy SEAL adapt and become the
world's most lethal spy?
One of the apparent contradictions which has puzzled observers of
East Asian politics is why, despite the region's considerable
economic integration, economic governance institutions remain
largely underdeveloped. This book stems from the observation that
the study of actual forms of economic governance in Asia has been
impeded by the dominance of a 'regionalism' problematique. Scholars
have focused on the emergence - or not - of regional multilateral
institutions, seeking to evaluate these institutions' capacities to
enforce disciplines on Asian states. However, they have also
neglected prior, and more pertinent, questions regarding the causal
determinants of regional economic governance, which animate the
contributions to this collection: What factors shape the scale and
instruments of economic governance in Asia; and how and why is
economic governance being rescaled between the sub-national,
national and regional levels? In the chapters of this book, the
contributors explore the social and political struggles over the
scale and instruments of economic governance. They identify and
explain the emergence of a wide variety of regional modes of
economic governance, explain the factors shaping the spatial scale
of economic governance in Asia, and discern the patterns of
regional integration to which they give rise. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Australian Journal
of International Affairs.

It's strike-and counterstrike-as John Dempsey takes the fight to
the Russians in a riveting Tier One Thriller by the Wall Street
Journal bestselling authors of American Operator. When shadow
warrior and former Tier One Navy SEAL John Dempsey goes undercover
to meet with a Vory arms dealer, he thinks he's laying the
groundwork to penetrate the Russian criminal underground. Instead,
he walks into a trap orchestrated by Zeta, the secret Russian task
force behind a recent assassination attempt on the US President.
For Dempsey and his team, the only way out is to lay waste to the
Russians, putting a target on Ember's back. With Ember pitted
against Zeta, a dangerous game of strike and counterstrike
ensues-sanctioned in the halls of the Kremlin and the White House
but disavowed to the world. As the line between espionage,
counterterrorism, and spec ops blurs, Ember is ordered to eliminate
their ultimate adversary, which means taking the fight against Zeta
to Russian soil. But like a phoenix risen from the Cold War embers,
Zeta is more capable than anyone imagines, and the Russians
retaliate with an operation that will find Dempsey and task force
Ember battling for survival.

Jack is a young man caught between two terrifying worlds. In one,
he is Marine Sergeant Casey Stillmam, locked in combat in the
streets of Fallujah, Iraq. He is lying next to his dead and dying
friends, bleeding in the street - until he wakes up at home, in bed
with his wife. In this other world, Jack is a high school science
teacher, husband, and devoted father to his little girl. But the
nightmares of war continue to haunt him, and to Jack/Casey they
feel in many ways more real than his life at home with his family.
When news of killed Marines in Fallujah surface, Jack realizes he
knows far more about these men then he should. But, when the dead
Marines begin visiting him while he is awake-he realizes he is in
serious trouble. Faced with the possibility of losing his mind, or
far worse, the nightmares being real, Jack knows he must somehow
find a way to bridge the two realities and fight his way back from
the nightmares to save his wife and little girl.

An evil force is at work at the Hospital where Nathan is recovering
from injuries he received at the hands of his Mom's abusive
ex-boyfriend. Demonic looking men with pale faces and glowing eyes
lurk in the shadows. Someone is harvesting skin and organs from
living donors against their will. In his dreams, Nathan can see
these demons in their true form -- evil creatures who feed on the
fear and hatred they create in their victims. Nathan's only ally is
the Doctor who cares for him. Bound together by their common
legacy, they alone seem to share the ability to see the demons for
what they truly are. Together they must find a way to stop these
creatures before they, and their loved ones, become the next
victims.
This is one damn unique blend of fantasy, horror and military

winning Novel Black and Orange It's a story that reminds me of
old-school King and Koontz, you know, that classic supernatural
thriller style that is character driven - Ash Arceneaux, Lead
Reviewer, Swamp Dweller Dark Fiction Book Reviews There are no
other stories like this out there-this is totally an original idea.
It is both creative and explosive. - WH McDonald Jr., lead

discovers that fate has presented him with an even higher calling.
Ben Morvant is not what you would call ordinary and as a Navy SEAL,
he never expected an ordinary life. But when a routine mission to
protect a local village in a war-torn region of Africa goes
terribly wrong, Ben is presented with truths beyond what his
military training and experience have prepared him to accept. With
his dying breath, a village elder passes to Ben a gift a simple
ring, unremarkable except for its ever changing color and the
feeling of power emanating from within. Soon after accepting the
ring dark visions begin to haunt Ben s dreams. Images of pain and
death, of evil and destruction. But some of the visions are
hauntingly familiar. Soon Ben must return to his childhood home in
Louisiana to face a dark secret from his past, one that may explain
why he has the power to heal with a touch of the hand . . . or kill
with a single thought. After discovering the truth about his family
and himself, he comes to realize that he is a soldier in a greater
battle than he could ever have imagined. And if he cannot find a
way to wield the power concealed within him, the forces that prey
on mankind s anger and fear will destroy not only him, but
everything he holds dear.
Towards Sustainable Well-Being examines existing efforts and
emerging possibilities to improve upon gross domestic product as
the dominant indicator of economic and social performance.
Contributions from leading international and Canadian researchers
in the field of beyond-GDP measurement offer a rich range of
perspectives on alternative ways to measure well-being and
sustainability, along with lessons from around the world on how to
bring those metrics into the policy process. Key topics include the
policy and political impacts of major beyond-GDP measurement
initiatives; the most promising possibilities and policy
applications for beyond-GDP measurement; key barriers to
introducing beyond-GDP metrics; and complementary measures to
ensure new measurements are not merely calculated but taken into
account in policymaking. The book highlights a distinction between
a reformist beyond-GDP vision, which seeks to improve policymaking
and quality of life within existing political and economic
institutions, and a transformative vision aiming for more
fundamental change including a move beyond economic growth.
Illustrating the many advances that have occurred in Canada and
internationally, Towards Sustainable Well-Being proposes next steps
for both the reformist and transformative visions, as well as
possible common ground between them in the pursuit of sustainable
well-being.
A curious young girl who asks her grandmother to tell her a bedtime
story about her Metis ancestors goes on an adventure of a lifetime
back in time. In her dream, she learns about Metis traditions, the
Michif language, accompanies her great-great grandfather on a fur
trade and brings back and very special souvenir from the past.
Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest animals ever to walk the earth,
and they represent a substantial portion of vertebrate biomass and
biodiversity during the Mesozoic Era. The story of sauropod
evolution is told in an extensive fossil record of skeletons and
footprints that span the globe and 150 million years of earth
history. This generously illustrated volume is the first
comprehensive scientific summary of sauropod evolution and
paleobiology. The contributors explore sauropod anatomy, detail its
variations, and question the myth that life at large size led to
evolutionary stagnation and eventual replacement by more "advanced"
herbivorous dinosaurs. Chapters address topics such as the
evolutionary history and diversity of sauropods; methods for
creating three-dimensional reconstructions of their skeletons;
questions of sauropod herbivory, tracks, gigantism, locomotion,
reproduction, growth rates, and more. This book, together with the
recent surge in sauropod discoveries around the world and taxonomic
revisions of fragmentary genera, will shed new light on "nature's
greatest extravagances."
