Lucas Davenport and his daughter, Letty, team up to track down a dangerous scientist whose latest project could endanger the entire world, in this latest thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.
Gaia is dying.
That, at least, is what Dr. Lionel Scott believes. A renowned expert in tropical and infectious diseases, Scott has witnessed the devastating impact of illness and turmoil at critical scale. Society as it exists is untenable, and the direct link to Earth’s death spiral; population levels are out of control and people have allowed disarray and disorder to run rampant. While most are concerned about deadly disease, Scott knows that it is truly humanity itself that will destroy Gaia. It’s only by removing the threat that the planet can continue to prosper, and luckily, Scott is just the right man for the job…
When Scott then disappears without a trace, Letty Davenport is tasked with tracking down any and all leads. Scott’s connections to sensitive research into virus and pathogen spread has multiple national and international organizations on high alert, and his shockingly high clearance levels at various institutions, including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, make him the last person they’d like to go missing. As the web around Scott becomes more tangled, Letty calls in her father, Lucas, help her lead a group of specialists to find Scott as soon as possible. But as Letty and Lucas begin to uncover startling and disturbing connections between Scott and Gaia conspiracists, their worst fears are confirmed, and it quickly becomes a race to find him before the virus he created becomes the perfect weapon.
The new Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers novel from Number One
bestselling author. 'We're going to murder people who need to be
murdered.' A group of vigilantes known only as 'The Five' are
targeting the worst of society - rapists, murderers and thieves -
and they use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by
those who they've killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities
and victims via the Dark Web. Soon, they are the most popular
figures on social media . . . but their motives may not be entirely
pure. After a woman is murdered in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers
and Lucas Davenport are sent to investigate. The killings are smart
and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection
to the victims, The Five are virtually untraceable. But if anyone
can stop The Five, it will be Davenport and Flowers. Praise for

The third gripping Virgil Flowers thriller by internationally
bestselling author John Sandford. A LAND WITHOUT LAW. A KILLER
WITHOUT MERCY. While competing in a fishing tournament in a
remote area of northern Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a call from
his old friend Lucas Davenport to investigate a murder at a nearby
resort, where a woman has been shot while kayaking. The resort is
for women only: a place to relax, get fit, commune with nature, and
sometimes get to know each other a little better. As Flowers begins
investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at
the resort, the victim, and some local women: notably a talented
country singer. And the more he digs, the more he discovers a
multitude of motivations for murder: jealousy, greed, anger, and
blackmail. And then Flowers learns that this is not the first death
at this particular resort. Someone else died there a year ago. And
there's about to be a third, definitely related death, any time
now. And as for the fourth . . . well, Virgil better hope he can
catch the killer before that happens. Because it could be his
own. ***Praise for John Sandford*** ‘One of the great

**Don't miss John Sandford's brand-new thriller Ocean Prey - out
now** A LUCAS DAVENPORT THIRLLER BY GLOBAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR JOHN
SANDFORD He knows how killers think. But what if this killer knows
more? It's raining when psychiatrist Andi Manette leaves the
parent-teacher meeting with her two daughters. She's tired and
distracted, so she doesn't notice the red van parked beside her, or
the van door slide open. The last thing she does notice is the hand
reaching out for her and her girls . . . Hours later, deputy chief
Lucas Davenport stands in the car park holding a blood-stained shoe
in his hand. He knows that this case will be difficult, but he's
got no idea that he might have met his match in a nemesis more
intelligent - and more depraved - than any he has tracked before. A
killer who knows more about mind games than even Davenport himself.
Time is running out to find Andi and her daughters. Will this be
the one case that Davenport can't solve? Praise for John Sandford

**Don't miss John Sandford's brand-new thriller Ocean Prey - out
now** Lucas Davenport investigates an anonymous threat to the
children of US politicians in the latest thriller from the
internationally bestselling author John Sandford. The daughter of a
US Senator is monitoring her social media presence when she finds a
picture of herself on a strange blog. And there are other pictures
. . . children of other influential Washington politicians, walking
or standing outside their schools, each identified by name.
Surrounding the photos are vicious political rants from a variety
of radical groups. It's obviously alarming - is there an unstable
extremist tracking the loved ones of powerful politicians with
deadly intent? But when the FBI is called in, there isn't much they
can do. The anonymous photographer can't be pinned down to one
location or IP address and, more importantly, no crime has actually
been committed. Yet. There's only one person who has a hope of
finding the person behind this, one person who can operate outside
the FBI's constraints: Lucas Davenport. And he'll have to act first
before someone gets hurt . . . ***READERS LOVE THE PREY SERIES***

East German culture has not lost any of its fascination for western
scholars, not even after unification. It is cinema in particular
that continues to attract interest. This volume, the first one in
English, traces the development of the main institution, the
state-sponsored Deutsche Film Anstalt (DEFA), that was responsible
for film production in the former GDR from 1946 and ceased to exist
in 1992 Although largely ignored outside the former GDR, the DEFA
produced a number of excellent films and scriptwriters that are
examined here for the first time and presented to a wider
readership. The themes covered by the contributors include the
representation of fascism and anti-fascism in the cinema of the
1940s and 1950s, the conflicts between the state and the
film-makers of the 1960s, and the social-political criticism in the
1970s and early 1980s. Other chapters focus on key issues such as
the representation of women, the concept of "Heimat, " the
reception of the classical heritage, documentary film-making before
and after unification, and the relation of DEFA cinema to other
European film traditions. The comprehensive bibliography and a list
of research sources on East German cinema make this volume an
indispensable tool for students and scholars of the media.
." . . the lucid style of all contributions . . . makes this volume

**THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING THRILLER** Lucas Davenport and
Virgil Flowers join forces on a deadly maritime case like no
other... An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family
when he calls in some suspicious behaviour from a nearby boat. The
slick craft has stopped to pick up a surfaced diver, who was
apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean.
None of it makes sense, and his hunch is proved right when all
three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.
They're federal officers killed on the job, which means the case is
the FBI's turf. And when the FBI's investigation stalls out, they
call in Lucas Davenport. But when the case turns lethal, Davenport
will need to bring in every asset he can claim, including a
detective with a fundamentally criminal mind: Virgil Flowers. In a
case like no other, Flowers and Davenport will need to work
together to catch the killers - before they become targets
themselves. ***WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OCEAN PREY*** 'John

An esteemed teacher and former pastor, James W. Goll is one of the
leading prophetic voices of our time. Now, for the first time, he
offers his wisdom and insight in one accessible manual on the
challenging topic of deliverance. Among the subjects he covers are:
tools and practical help for overcoming the demonic
how to handle the raging battle of temptation
techniques to keep yourself refreshed during the fight
characteristics of demonic entities and their strategies
how to break curses
the healing qualities of blessings
and more
With a companion study guide also available, Goll's action-oriented
approach walks readers step by step through the process of freeing
both themselves and others from problems they cannot overcome. When
believers claim their authority in Christ, hope and healing can be
theirs.
As a pastor and teacher on deliverance, Neal Lozano knows that many
believers struggle with the same sin areas time after time. Yet
victory can be as simple as tapping into the potent power of the
gospel. By focusing on Jesus and his work, rather than on the
intimidating aspects of evil spirits, readers can reset their
mindset about their spiritual struggles.
In "Unbound," Lozano shows readers how to do just this. He also
shows them how to find and close any doors they may have opened to
evil influence--and, consequently, Satan's underhanded strategies.
Balanced and full of hope, "Unbound" is a practical, thorough, and
easy-to-follow guide to deliverance and freedom. It also includes
practical instruction on praying for others to be set free.
Virgil Flowers hunts a killer responsible for a strange string of
murders in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author
John Sandford. On a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, Virgil
Flowers gets a call from Lucas Davenport. A body has been found
near a veterans' memorial in Stillwater with two shots to the head
and a lemon in his mouth-exactly like the body they found two weeks
ago. Working the murders, Flowers becomes convinced that someone is
keeping a list-with many more names on it. And when he discovers
what connects them all, he's almost sorry. Because if it's true,
then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought
it did-and every one of them is booby-trapped.

**Don't miss John Sandford's brand-new thriller Ocean Prey - out
now** His job is to hunt down criminals. But he's about to become
the hunted... Find out why Stephen King calls John Sandford 'one of
the great novelists of all time'! Lucas Davenport has a job with
the U.S. Marshals Service - an unusual one. He gets to pick his own
cases, whatever they are, and follow wherever they lead him. And
where they've led him this time is into real trouble. A house at
the center of a drug-smuggling ring is attacked and briefcases full
of cash are stolen. But whoever took the money left something
behind: five bodies, including that of a six-year-old girl.
Davenport vows to track down the cash and find the killers. But
he's not the only one on the hunt... the drug smugglers want their
money back, and they've sent two assassins, including an infamous
torturer known for her creative use of home-improvement tools,
after Davenport. It'll take every ounce of Davenport's predatory
instinct to track down the killers and money before he becomes the
prey. * * * Readers can't get enough of GOLDEN PREY * * * 'Rattles

I really didn't want to end. In my view it's one of the best in the
