AN AMAZON TOP 10 TECHNOTHRILLER BOOK ONE IN THE JOHN PURKISS SERIES ***** "Superb spy thriller... The prose is so vivid you can almost feel the action as it takes place... " - Jeremy Duns, author of The Dark Chronicles ***** "A high octane, fast-paced spy thriller... superb and captivating story... a great, heart pounding read!" James Masters, Goodreads reviewer *****"[J]oins Lee Child, David Baldacci and John D. MacDonald on my list of great spinners of thrillers." Edward F. Corbin, Amazon reviewer The police have Internal Affairs departments. British Intelligence has John Purkiss, the Ratcatcher. Purkiss's job is straightforward. Track down agents of the intelligence services who are taking kickbacks, committing crimes, or otherwise abusing their positions. And bring them to justice. Straightforward doesn't mean easy... After a renegade British former spymaster, Fallon, is sighted in the Baltic city of Tallinn on the eve of a historic summit meeting between the Russian and Estonian presidents, Purkiss is despatched to investigate, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear Europe, and the world, apart. But Purkiss has personal reasons for going after Fallon. Four years ago, Fallon was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Purkiss's fiancée, a murder Purkiss himself witnessed. Now, in an atmosphere of treachery and sudden violence, as the countdown begins to a potentially catastrophic conflict between Russia and the West, Purkiss must keep his desire for revenge under control for the sake of the world's - and his own - survival. Described in Amazon reviews as a "cracker of a spy thriller" with "superbly choreographed action scenes" that "leave you feeling almost dizzy", RATCATCHER is both an adrenaline-fuelled action adventure novel and a hardboiled mystery story which exposes the world of the spy, in which few motives and actions are purely black or white.

The York Deviation (The Tory Fantasy Novels Book 3) by Sean Gabb (3 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Not many novels have Margaret Thatcher as a hero. Here is one of them. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tory-Boy Satanists, insane anti-American scientists, an army of hungry Lizards-from-beyond-the-Void. An asteroid impact. Yes, it's the University of York in 1981 - though not as anyone now alive remembers it! Edward Parker is a right-wing hypochondriac with a weight problem. Falling asleep one night as an ageing and ever-so-slightly failed barrister, he wakes in his youthful body, back in those moderately golden days of yore. It's a dream. It's surely a dream. In great things and in little, everything seems at first exactly as it had been. Only it isn't. As the dream unfolds, and shows no appearance of ending, deviation after deviation from the remembered past accumulate, and settle into the appearance of a coherent narrative. But where is this taking young Edward Parker? What is his old "friend" Michael Clarvin up to? Where have all his real friends gone? Who is "The Undertaker"? What horror lurks beneath the Temple of Isis being uncovered near the Main Library? Why is Professor Fairburn so desperate to lay hands on its power? What does he eat? And can Margaret Thatcher become all-powerful? If you were there, take this as the ultimate Walk Down Memory Lane. If you weren't, probably be grateful...

The Spiritual Discipline of Meditation: A Daily Devotion in the Scriptures by Scott Doherty (19 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Today, when we hear the word meditation we immediately associate the term with a New Age practice. Sadly, the spiritual discipline of meditating on the Scriptures has become uncommon among Christians while in contrast the blending of eastern mysticism with mainstream Christian thought has risen to prominence. True, biblical meditation on the Scriptures has been replaced with a self-centered and mystic spirituality. Overall this spiritual practice has faded with the Puritans. Disciplined meditation, understood in a biblical and meaningful way, brings blessing, joy, and spiritual growth. Many Christians read the Bible each day but don't meditate on it. A lack of meditation often results in lack of profit gained from devotions. Many times during devotions, without meditation, the Christian finishes in the same condition in which he started. This book was written with two purposes in mind. First, to teach people how to meditate on the Scriptures in a meaningful way, after the pattern of the Puritans. Second, a daily devotional format is purposefully used so readers will begin to discipline themselves in meditating on one passage of Scripture each day. Rather than just write about the Puritan form of meditation, this book provides practice through meaningful daily devotions. By the end of the book, after meditating for an entire year, the reader will be trained in one of the most important spiritual disciplines. The purpose of this book is to recover the lost spiritual discipline of meditation.

Dear Reader, "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." - Confucius Trust me: Mastering English too is easy. The reason you fear it is because you do not know the alternate and the best ways to master this language (fast). You might be a lawyer, a car mechanic, a hair stylist, blogger, internet marketer or a realty agent. Or you may be a housewife, a student, or a fresh graduate who has just entered an MNC, if you do not have good command over English-your life is doomed. Read the statistic below: Approximately 90% of Indians cannot speak this language. And this one deficiency robs them of opportunities and success. Want to know the worst part of the deal? Teachers and learners are still using the old, out dated, inefective methods. Is it not similar to driving a bullock cart in the times of supersonic cars? Is it not like taking the stairs when you have an escalator to reach the top floor? I have ample evidence (which I will provide throught out this book) to prove that grammar, vocabulary, reading long boring textbooks, solving mind numbing exercises is not the only way to learn English. So if you belong to the old school of learners, I urge you to leave reading this book right now, for what I am discussing in this book is not for those traditional learners. This book is meant for those who want to adopt the newer, better, and faster methods to learn things. Below are 7 compelling reasons why you should buy this book: 1.

Wohl fühlt er sich nicht in der Stadt des selbstsüchtigen Herrscherpaares, aber sein brisanter Auftrag macht seine ständige Anwesenheit unumgänglich. Seine überraschende Begegnung mit Sadeh, Rahoteps leiblicher Mutter, bringt lange gehegte und verdrängte Befürchtungen zum Vorschein, die sich auf völlig unvorhersehbare Weise zu bewahrheiten drohen. Als kurz nach Pharao Echnatons glanzvollem Empfang der Delegationen aus aller Welt eine schreckliche Seuche ausbricht, sucht Senmut verzweifelt nach geeigneten Maßnahmen, um die Ausbreitung der unheilbaren Krankheit zumindest einzudämmen. Damit stößt er jedoch nicht überall auf uneingeschränktes Verständnis, und als schließlich sogar das Königshaus von einem Unheil nach dem anderen befallen wird, richtet sich so mancher anklagende Finger auf ihn. Davon abgesehen ist es für Senmut nur eine Frage der Zeit, wann ihm die schöne Nofretete auf die Spur kommt. Als er sich zu allem Überfluss dann auch noch Pharaos Zorn zuzieht, indem er sich -unter Missachtung dessen ausdrücklichen Verbots- der Opfer grausamer Folter annimmt, gibt es für Senmut nur noch einen Ausweg.

***NEW EDITION FEATURES BRAND NEW OPENING CHAPTER AND COVER ART*** Simon Remnant's not your average hero. Oh no. As far as heroes go, he's way below average. Absent father, absent-minded lover, unskilled and untrustworthy. None of them do his uselessness justice. So there are no expectations other than failure when he joins the mid-21st Century's equivalent of The Gold Rush - a race to get-rich-quick through plundering the dazzling fortunes offered by an asteroid brimming with diamond deposits. Remnant provides the brawn in a dubiously talented and totally incompatible crew of three aboard a ship that's not expected to make it higher than the treetops. Can he overcome his underdog status? And can he beat the mighty NASA to the asteroid belt and return home with a life-changing cut of the loot? Lymon's debut novel is an outlandish adventure that mashes the thriller and sci-fi genres into a pulp of highly entertaining, uniquely-told far, far, fetched fiction that'll leave you believing that even way below average heroes deserve to have their story told. PRAISE FOR THE DIAMOND RUSH: "A well crafted tale of the underdog." "OK, here's the thing that's amazing about this book. There are several instances of what? That's not possible. But the book is so good, you don't care." "Kudos, and good job."

This is the story of CuChulainn, son of the sun God Lugh Lamfada, as told through the eyes of his charioteer, Laeg MacRiangabair. This piece of Irish history and myth is roughly two millennia old, and has seen many interpretations. Much like Alexander the Great, I have long believed CuChulainn's story to be edited to suit modern Christian sensibilities, but I have written it as I (and many) believe it to be true: that our warrior hero is gay. Love, battles, magick, tragedy, kings, queens, Gods, and legends. A Pagan story written by a Pagan.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. He seemed like a nice guy... rich, charming, and sexy. My decisions and illusions seemed perfectly logical to me. So I couldn't understand why people were arguing with me, demanding that I "run from that bastard and get my shit together!" Unmanageable is a crazy tour through two years of anxiety and drunken denial of reality. With marriage #3, problems came like machine-gun fire; I could either dodge or stay drunk on vodka. I chose the vodka. These years were short by the calendar but long on bizarre. From the wedding in a Chinese restaurant to a stint in jail, Unmanageable recreates the most unmanageable time of my life. Underneath, I knew what I saw - a drunk on the way to rock bottom. For the first time, I questioned my sanity. On the white sands of a Bahamas beach, I pleaded to a Higher Power I didn't believe in. I knew the game was over, but I wasn't finished yet. The Powerless series is a memoir told as a story; a story so twisted that it took seven books to reveal it all. This is the fourth stop in the crazy train ride of my life - a zany story about getting drunk, getting sober, and the quest for grace.

The second recounts the later years of Shah Jahan's reign, the building of the Taj Mahal and the bloody pursuit of the fabulous peacock throne by his sons. In this complex and fascinating book, Murari has written much more than a historical romance. He has skilfully recreated the period against which the story is set: the sensual opulence of the palace and the grinding poverty of seventeenth-century India, the vicissitudes of Shah Jahan's reign and the often bitter conflict between men of different faiths. Praise for Timeri N. Murari: 'Only a masterly historical novelist like Timeri Murari could skate so teasingly near the lip of a volcano. The structure of this novel is as fascinating as the building it describes' -- Bill Aitken, Sunday Observer 'A book of powerful simplicity... ' -- Gloucestershire Echo 'One can read into the symbolic undertones, and find this a complex and disturbing novel' -- Asia Magazine Timeri N. Murari has written novels, as well as screenplays and stage plays. His film, The Square Circle, made Time magazine's top ten best films. He adapted it for the stage and directed it at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre.

Christianity: A Successful Failure: Finding Faith in an Age of Fear and Falsehood by Tim Spiess (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This book may shock and offend you! It will test your intellect and provide a gut-retching read giving insights you have never before considered. You will need to be secure in your beliefs to make it through, but if you can make it, and you care about what is true, it will be like a journey from a dark, cold tunnel to warm, beautiful light. Make no mistake, you will have to use your mind and reason and demonstrate some intellectual courage to get the payoff. Do you believe that the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth can show you how to enter into eternal life? If you have never diligently studied his teachings, why would you believe you will enter into Eternal Life? This author has been listening to the real, historical Jesus of Nazareth as he describes himself by his own words in the four gospel books for many years. You will be shocked at how different the life-view Jesus provides is in comparison to what Christianity offers. Yes, science offers many solutions to our problems, but science has limitations. Science does not solve our most pressing problems like how to reduce conflict or how best to implement justice and mercy. Nor can science solve our biggest issue - what happens to us when we die? If you are really interested in the world view of Jesus of Nazareth and the truth about eternal life, this book is for you. The payoff could be a life free from fear, self-pride, and selfishness.

Bloody Ground: Black Rifles in Korea by John Holway (24 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

Korea is "the forgotten war." But to those who fought in it, it was the "unforgettable war." If the names of all those killed were put on a wall, it would be larger than the Vietnam Wall. And Korea lasted only three years, Vietnam about ten. The agony of the winter of 1950-51 is an epic to compare with Valley Forge and the Bulge. Korea was also our last segregated war. This is the story of the black 24th Infantry Regiment, told in the words of the men themselves. Like all black troops since the Civil War, they were reviled by whites and their own commander for "bugging out" - running before the enemy. The charge can still be read in the Army's own official histories. Yet the 24th left more blood on the field than their white comrades - if they did bug out, they must have been running the wrong way. It's a good thing we weren't with Custer," one black GI muttered - "they'd have blamed the whole thing on us." The 24th won the first battle of the war, won its division's first Medal of Honor, and guarded the shortest and most vulnerable road to Pusan. If the port had fallen, the war would have been lost, leaving a red dagger pointed at Japan. It did not fall. That winter, after the Chinese attacked, the entire American army bugged out in perhaps the worst military disaster in American history. "That," said another black veteran, "was when I learned that whites could run as fast as blacks." This is the story of those unsung heroes, who helped turn the Communist tide for the first time. The men bring that forgotten war and their own unsung bravery to life in their own sometimes funny, often heart-breaking, and always exciting words.

I Lost The Game: or Don't Think About Ironic Process Theory or My Name Is Not Trousers or At Least One Of These Titles Is A Joke by Chris Chapman (1 Review)    Price verified 15 hours ago

"I lost the Game." "Ha!" "What's this Game you all keep talking about?" "Someone please explain it to her. I'm tired of the whole thing." "It was your idea." "It wasn't my idea, my cousin told me about it at my uncle's wedding. I don't know where it came from originally." "Okay, but it's your fault that everybody's now playing the Game." "I didn't think it would catch on so quickly. I wish I hadn't mentioned it, it's getting irritating now." "Maybe you should start a Game Club, like your Apathy Club." "If I set up a Game Club in order to gather people together to not think about The Game it would definitely fail, it's like telling people not to think about an elephant." "An elephant?"

"Too late, you can't, I lost it a few moments ago. Twenty minutes hasn't passed yet." "But he wasn't here at the time. He can still lose The Game if he's not aware that you just lost it, can't he?"

"If you think about the Game it means you've lost the Game. The whole point is to not think about the Game?" "That's it?" "Yes." "And what about the elephant?" "There is no elephant. It's got nothing to do with elephants. Forget about the elephant." "So, all you have to do is not think about it? That's all it is? That's The Game?" "Yes." "What are you guys talking about?" "I'll give you one guess." "Is it something I've just lost?" "Sorry." "Is there any way to win The Game?" "White-Bear?" "Hmm... " "Well... ?" "I'm thinking." "Could it be we've stumped the great White-Bear?" "White-Bear? ...
