Nevertheless, when his closest friend fortuitously points the way to Israel, reluctantly he goes. In the caldron of intrigue, politics, and terrorism that is the modern Middle East, Zach uncovers a plot -- one that potentially threatens the lives of perhaps millions. His problem? There are two sides to every coin, and at least two sides in every war. But in this kind of conflict, information is a commodity, and misinformation, a weapon. Zach might be the unexpected emissary, the man with an answer, but sadly, neither side trusts him. Worse still, both sides will do anything in their power to stop him. Far from home, in a strange and at times incomprehensible land, Zach has no resources other than his own ingenuity... and a desire to be on the side of truth. That might be too tall an order in an encounter where both combatants are dead certain that there is only one truth: theirs. Mistaken Enemy, the first of the Zach Miller Stories, is a heart-racing account of hate, revenge and destiny, ultimately testing the boundaries of human love and will.

But, as Marianne knows only too well, bad things happen to good people, and the sudden and tragic death of a colleague at Unit A not only brings back sad memories but threatens the delicate home/work balance that she has worked so hard to achieve. After six difficult months of struggling to keep on top of things, Marianne feels a mixture of relief and irritation when a new and handsome, but outwardly cold and arrogant employee arrives at Unit A with rave reviews from the boss. Josu will take a lot of responsibility from Marianne's shoulders, which should make her life easier, but it's hard to be grateful when everything he says and does seems to rub her up the wrong way.

But shortly after Josu's arrival, there's a problem: a million euros is missing from the company accounts and he needs Marianne's help to find it. Or is he actually accusing her of theft? If Josu continues to alienate Marianne with his grumpy and aloof personality they will find it impossible to work together.

When the car sailed over the embankment carrying the four members of the pulpit committee, Mildred Budge called out, "Jesus saves." The others heard it, but they were also experiencing their own quick flashes of insight. Liz, a serial widow, felt unsatisfied with her life. She wanted more. Sailing toward her death, she still did. Sam, who had turned the steering wheel that had sent them over the embankment, was looking forward to the crash. He wanted to feel it -- the hard slam of collision. His hands held the wheel tightly, bracing for it. Jake smiled. He resisted holding Mildred's hand, because black men still didn't touch white women in the where he lived. And he took note of the wonder of the experience that was like flying. 'So, this is what it's like -- to fly. To live.' And then the car touched down hard and slammed into a tree. And when they could speak, their conversation was different than it had been moments before. Life was different. What they really wanted was not what they thought. But in order to pursue it, they had to get out of the ravine where they had landed. And they had to work together to get home. This is a story about "Jesus saves" and how that message gets lived out in people who know the gospel and believe it. If you love a Christian story about real people, you'll enjoy this second book in the Mildred Budge series. Daphne Simpkins writes about church life in the South through her Mildred Budge books.

Bad Guys: Personal Accounts of Military Service in the South African Defence Force 1969 to 1990 (Sentinel SADF Monographs) by Barry Fowler (43 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

Bad Guys Personal Accounts of Military Service in the South African Defence Force 1969 to 1990 Most people today, when presented with the more recently accepted picture of the Apartheid regime that ruled in South Africa until the mid-1990s, can be excused for believing that all personnel who served in the Armed Forces of the South African Defence Force during that time were "Bad Guys", who personally suppressed the black population. With new and representative governments in power in both Namibia and South Africa today, not much evidence is likely to be produced to counter such an opinion. In this, and other books, we hope to present a human face of those involved in the SADF, most of whom were not remotely evil, and were just trying to make the best they could of a difficult and uncomfortable situation, without considering themselves to have been holding up the Apartheid regime. The 18 personal accounts in this book are by men who served part of their service in South-West Africa, during the border war. These are the thoughts, feelings and experiences of the men who were there.

Never heard of medication for alcoholism? You're not alone. Eighty-eight thousand Americans will die this year from alcoholism. Most will do so without ever knowing of the FDA-approved medications that might have saved their lives. 'A Prescription for Alcoholics - Medications for Alcoholism' by author Linda Burlison, is the first book ever published about FDA-approved medications The book takes a first sober look at anti-alcoholism drugs, the research behind them, and why nobody seems to know about them. Most people (including physicians and alcoholics) are unaware of the FDA-approved medications to fight alcoholism, despite the fact that the US government calls them the 'standard of care for the treatment of alcoholism.'

The 550-page book is an extensive look at drugs like naltrexone, acamprosate, baclofen, topiramate, gabapentin, nalmefene and others. Dr. Nora Volkow, the Director of the US National Institute on Drugs, and Dr. George Koob, Director of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse are spearheading a new understanding of alcoholism as a complex brain disease, and the medication that can treat it. Drs. Volkow and Koob are just two of thousands of researchers whose clinical research into medication for alcoholism forms the body of evidence the book cites.

The book provides answers to important questions about safety, liver toxicity, side effects, dosage and more. Most importantly it provides easy-to-read information which can be brought to a doctor's office to help a patient and their physician make ...

Only Dewer -- ageless High Lord of the city -- knows the truth behind the creatures' wanton destruction, and he hasn't trusted anyone with his secrets for over one hundred years. Gwin, a moon-blessed Asrai with the ability to freeze flesh, arrives in Armoria determined to raise an army against the man who slaughtered her family. When she discovers that city guard, Vanth, harbours magick of her own, she knows she would make a powerful ally, but Vanth would rather see Gwin hang than turn traitor. Vanth the Vile is many things: a skilled swordswoman, a debauched tavern crawler, and a Salt Sword fiercely loyal to the High Lord who saved her from a life on the streets. The one thing she never wanted to be was moon-blessed. In a city where those caught using magick without permission are left to rot in Dewer's Pit, embracing her burgeoning powers would be a dangerous gamble. The twin moons of Joria are turning. For a century, the night has shone silver in Mamai's cold light, but when Aikana comes to the fore, the world will dazzle beneath her violet glow. The Changing of the Moons heralds a time of unrest and upheaval, and Vanth has a devastating decision to make. The Obsidian Druid is book one of The Age of Aikana -- a dark epic fantasy set in a rich world of cut-throat cities, satyr warriors, rum-soaked taverns, scheming witches, and creeping forests besieged by the horrors that crawl in the shadows.

THURSDAY'S ORCHID by Robert Mitchell (46 Reviews)    Price verified 58 minutes ago

Another thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones (The Lucinda Legacy). The killer was out there in the darkness, his movement along the deck hidden by the rigging as it cracked and trembled in the wind. When the waves had begun crashing into the stern of the ship early that morning, the salt spray blasting over the bulwarks, the hull grinding and tearing itself upon the coral reef, I had cursed myself and my stupidity. I should have known that smuggling fifty tonnes of marijuana from Australia to Singapore could not be done easily, that others would hear of it, that others would try to take the cargo from me. But had Mee Ling been the one to betray me? Had the night we'd spent together meant nothing? Or was the small teak box she'd left for me, a box containing one single delicate orchid resting on a fold of rich red silk, meant as warning that Cheh Wah Tek was not to be trusted?

Her brother, Jack, is taken north to join the British Liberation Army. This is theaction-packed thriller aboutunchecked hatred flooding a nation. Revolution is coming. Will The Fifth be ready? Reviews "although it begins as a dystopian thriller, soon develops strong sci-fi elements that aren't to be missed by science fiction fans. Dealing with a host of delicate subjects (with a trigger warning that also includes a message of hope at the start of the book which I appreciated) I feel that the author navigates this story well. It is very well-written and I was immersed in the character development of both Jenny and Jack, following on with Jenny's missions and hoping for improvements for Jack. This story is action packed, with twists that I could never have predicted and I would recommend for readers in the older YA market. I was eager to find out exactly what was happening and wanted to read the book in one sitting." - LoveReading / LoveReading4kids Ambassador (Indie Books We Love) "Sykes truly excels at unexpected turns regarding both the plot and cast.

SADF Border Base Layouts (Sentinel SADF Monographs) by Barry Fowler (4 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

This is a work in progress. I'm publishing at this time hoping that this draft will be found by people interested and willing to contribute to improving this book, and making it more comprehensive. The original remit was to identify each SADF base on the South West African - Angolan border, state its location, and provide a sketch map of the base layout, and maybe a photo or two to illustrate the layout of the base. Then `mission creep' became involved. Bases were developed over the years, some moved, and some were closed. There are thousands of photos of the border bases on the Internet, and it is not feasible to include many of them in such a book - even where copyright and permission can be established. Links and references are provided to related material elsewhere. Some border bases are described in detail, with there being little information about others. I publish what I have been given, and have been able to collect. There is much more out there that needs to be collected and preserved, before memories fade.

Quigley Tree: A Novel by Linda A Lavid (36 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

Quigley Tree drops out of college. At age 23, she's been a complete failure. If she doesn't do something soon, her life will careen into a deep, dark, irrevocable void. Tick Tock. That soon is now. From the publisher: Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite by Lorraine Cobcroft: Quigley Tree, the protagonist of Linda A. Lavid's novel of the same name, is a young woman with an odd name. A college dropout from a dysfunctional home, and recently escaped from a relationship with a narcissist, Quigley needs to find a new place to live, quickly. A unique idea sets her on a path to find accommodation in a motel in exchange for providing marketing help, but she eventually must admit she has no idea what she is doing. She is a complete mess and has no faith in her ability to do anything useful with her life. Yet a kindly couple takes her on, and, with their help, and the help of an elderly lady she befriends, she begins to reshape her life and overcome her self-destructive attitude. Quirky is the best adjective to describe this work by Linda A. Lavid. Quigley Tree is as quirky as the protagonist's name. Q (as Quigley calls herself) grew on me and won me over. I empathized with her deep feelings of insecurity and her struggle to come to terms with a fractured family and a chaotic childhood. As the story progressed, there were poignant moments, and Lavid presented some interesting perspectives on life. There were also touches of whimsy in this tale of resilience and determination. In classic literary fiction style, Lavid focuses her novel on the character and theme rather than the plot. Quigley Tree, the story, ambles along at a leisurely pace, tracking Q's growth and gradual acceptance of herself and adjustment of her attitude toward her defective mother. Pearls of wisdom are scattered in conversations with her elderly friend, her employers, and the man who eventually wins her affection. The ending tempted me to shed a few tears, touched by Quigley's care for her toddler ...

If I thought my life was bad before I woke up in the alien prison, it's just about to get a whole load worse, because I've been rescued by an alien warrior who is much better at stripping flesh from bone than being a hero.

Not only am I not going to let alien abduction beat me, I'm going to find the other humans I heard in my part of the prison and free them. Nothing's going to stand in my way. Not even the big green scaled alien warrior with a domination streak, dirty talk and burning desire to make me his mate. If he doesn't get out of my way, I won't be responsible for what happens next. The problem is, I think it's going to be him stealing my heart. The Fated Mates of the Sarkarnii series continues with DRAXX, a warrior with a huge heart who doesn't believe he deserves love and a human who has had her heart crushed one too many times.

I've been on the run ever since, but someone's chasing me. I don't know who they are or what they want. The only thing I'm sure of is that I need to keep moving or more people will die. They're going to find me again. They always do. The human authorities are useless. The supernatural cops, even worse. My only hope is the Iron Incubi MC, the biggest, baddest, meanest supes around. I'm sick of running and I'm desperate enough to make a deal even if it costs me everything I have left. Oh, and I'm neurodivergent. Autism means my brain works differently. I can keep it together in the day-to-day and mask my hundreds of quirks when I'm around others for short times, but now the five human-hating Incubi who I went to for help have me prisoner at their 'clubhouse', i.e., mansion in the middle of nowhere. So, what happens when five hot as sin s?x demons lock up a human girl who sucks at all the bedroom stuff, doesn't cope well with change, and definitely can't mask her ASD 24/7? I'm Jane Mercy and I have no f**king clue, but I don't think it's going to go well for those gorgeous-enough-to-be-underwear-model SOBs... especially when my stalkers come for me... Demons and Debts is the first book in the Desire Aforethought Series of paranormal romance. If you like hot monsters, alphahole bikers, flawed men, strong heroines, and your multiple POV stories with some mystery, drama, and spice tap now!

Using Profitable Investing Sites: Barron’s, MarketWatch, Finviz and Seeking Alpha by Tony Pow (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This book includes Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. However, we depend on the everyday news on Intangible Analysis and Qualitative Analysis that are available for the web sites described in this book. This book identifies some good sites with the following characteristics: • Concentrate on investing and stocks. • Tell us what stocks or sectors to trade. • In-depth analysis of stocks and sectors. • Providing reliable statistics. • Avoiding frightening headlines as in many YouTube videos and investing news. • Available (free or low-cost). Barron's fits all the above categories except the cost. MarketWatch is bundled in a promotion with Barron's; it is a little basic to me and has many features that can be found in other similar sites such as Seeking Alpha and Yahoo!Finance. I am keeping watch lists of the recommended stocks and I will update their performances. Most of the watch lists have a reduced number of stocks after my evaluation (described in the Book 3 treating Book as "super section"). I am using Barron's digitized version in this book. The printed book should be available in most libraries. Use Spotify to find the free version of Barron's. I also subscribe to Fortune magazine and it is usually in my car. Bloomberg is another website with a lot of beneficial information, and as many other sites they are free for a limited number of articles. WSJ is a required subscription for many business students, and it describes the market better than most other web sites. There are many interesting YouTube videos. Many listen to these videos during their commute. Finviz.com and Yahoo!Finance have been described throughout this book. Many YouTube videos are included in this book. You can bring up YouTube and enter the topic you want to search for. YouTube videos are more fun to watch. Investopedia has a lot of good articles. Do not forget the articles from your broker such as Fidelity. I have not written this book for any of the ...
