The Soviets are forced to pin their hopes for survival on the U.S. But as the KGB and the CIA watch in horror, the rescue of a Ukrainian freedom fighter from the Black Sea unleashes savagery that endangers peace--and plunges leaders from Washington to Moscow into a web of overwhelming intrigue, terror, and suspense.

A military insider and top-level defence strategist presents a chilling picture of warfare in the Information Age: who, what and where the threats are coming from and what we can do to protect ourselves. When George W. Bush learned of the attack on the World Trade Centre, he turned to his aides and said 'you're seeing the face of war in the twenty-first century'. In THE NEW FACE OF WAR, former CIA analyst and senior defence consultant at RAND, Bruce Berkowitz paints a sobering picture of warfare in the information age. From the amorphous 'front lines' of this war, Berkowitz defines and identifies the new enemies. Citing examples from Kosovo, Afghanistan and the war on terrorism, he explains the development of these fighting networks - semi-autonomous cells of fighters armed with potent weapons and linked together by flexible, secure communications systems that can span the entire globe. While dissecting the essential features of this new cyberwar, were combatants use stealth to deploy weapons of mass destruction, Berkowitz argues that we must build crucial links between the government and the private sector, which controls most information systems and the worldwide flow of digital

The War for a New World Order

A New World WarThere is a war underway for the souls of mankind and the future of the world. Two opposing visions of civilization, religion, morality and culture are clashing on battlefields across the globe - perhaps on the streets of a city near you. It is a war that is being waged at every level: military, religious, ideological, cultural, economic and demographic. Security forces, militant cells, religious leaders, scholars, analysts, artists, "lone-wolves" and ordinary citizens are being called upon to take sides and to take up arms to protect their way of life. An age of apocalyptic world war, it seems, is dawning across the world.This war is different than recent major conflicts; its origins goes back centuries, into the most deeply rooted myths and power structures of two great civilizations. It is not being fought over superficial differences of territory, tribe, political ideology or nationality, but over fundamental differences of worldview, religion and philosophy. As we shall show, it is in fact a war between two great world domination projects: the Islamic State and the Illuminati. This book is an attempt to make sense of this great global conflict, and to explain the players, stakes and ideas behind a deadly game that will no doubt define our world for many years to come.A Different PerspectiveMany books have been written about the conflict between Islamism, jihadism, al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. and the "West" or the "modern world". They often have sensationalist styles and read like propaganda for the "War on Terror" or apologetics for the global jihad. But few books have examined both sides of the conflict from a more neutral point of view, and sought to get at the deeper roots of the conflict. What exactly are the ideas, agendas and power structures of the Westernized world that the Islamists object to, and vice versa? Who are the main players driving the war? What are their histories, myths and metaphysical beliefs? What strategies and tactics are they using to achieve victory? This is not a "blame the West first" book of equivocations and apologetics; nor is it an "Islamophobic" screed about the evils of Islamic civilization; nor is it a book of Islamist propaganda. Rather, it is a calm inquiry into the deep power structures and ideologies that animate the militants on both sides, which I hope will give the reader a perspective they haven't encountered before. One thing I do know is this: in every conflict there are propagandists posing as objective analysts, and two sides to every story. I do not claim to be objective, but I do intend to cut through some of the propaganda and provide some insight into why both sides fight in the great conflict of our time: the war between the Islamists and the Illuminati for a New World Order.by The Dark Lords

A Thriller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series, told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical mystery, and pulse-pounding action. It begins in Africa . . . A United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them--plants and animals--has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a cursed site in the jungle -- known to locals as the Kingdom of Bones --and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the world. What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event? Or more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it? Commander Gray Pierce and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have kept the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening development--or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers, the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey. To head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African continent--a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know. Mother Nature--red in tooth and claw--is turning against humankind, propelling the entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.

Refuge charts the deeply moving lifetime relationship between a Iranian and a daughter, seen through the prism of global immigration. Beautifully written, full of insight, charm, and humour, the novel subtly exposes the parts of ourselves that get left behind in the wake of diaspora and ultimately asks: Must home always be a physical place, or can we find it in another person?

A visionary novel about the collision of technology and play, horror and humanity, from a master of the spine-tingling tale. They've infiltrated homes in Hong Kong, shops in Vancouver, the streets of Senegal, town squares of Oaxaca, schools in Tel Aviv, bedrooms in Ohio. They're following you. They're everywhere now. They're us. In Samanta Schweblin's wildly imaginative new novel, Little Eyes, "kentukis" have gone viral across the globe. They're little mechanical stuffed animals that have cameras for eyes, wheels for feet, and are connected to an anonymous global server. Owners of kentukis have the eyes of a stranger in their home and a cute squeaking pet following them; or you can be the kentuki and voyeuristically spend time in someone else's life, controlling the creature with a few keystrokes. Through kentukis, a jaded Croatian hustler stumbles into a massive criminal enterprise and saves a life in Brazil, a lonely old woman in Peru becomes fascinated with a young woman and her louche lover in Germany, and a motherless child in Antigua finds a new virtual family and experiences snow for the first time in Norway. These creatures can reveal the beauty of connection between farflung souls - but they also expose the ugly humanity of our increasingly linked world. Trusting strangers can lead to unexpected love and marvelous adventure, but what happens when the kentukis pave the way for unimaginable terror?

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A passionate call to arms against our era's most pervasive human rights violation--the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voicesWith Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women's potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it's also the best strategy for fighting poverty.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Midwives and The Flight Attendant comes a twisting story of love and deceit: an American man vanishes on a rural road in Vietnam, and his girlfriend, an emergency room doctor trained to ask questions, follows a path that leads her home to the very hospital where they met. Alexis and Austin don't have a typical meet cute--the couple comes together for the first time when Alexis, an emergency room doctor, sutures a bullet wound in Austin's arm. Six months later, they're on a romantic getaway in Vietnam: a bike tour on which Austin can show Alexis his passion for cycling, and he can pay his respects to the place where his father and uncle fought in the war. But then Austin fails to return from a solo ride. Alexis's boyfriend has vanished, the only clue left behind a bright yellow energy gel dropped on the road. As Alexis grapples with this bewildering loss, she starts to uncover a series of strange lies that force her to wonder: Where did Austin go? Why did he really bring her to Vietnam? And how much danger has he left her in? Set amid the adrenaline-fueled world of the emergency room, The Red Lotus is a global thriller about those who dedicate their lives to saving people and those who peddle death to the highest bidder.
