Download or read book The Blue Widows written by Jon Land and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2008-04-29 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's terrifying new world, in which small groups of individuals with unlimited resources can wreak incredible havoc and catastrophe, the task of stopping them becomes all the more urgent and compelling. Jon Land's latest topical thriller finds Ben Kamal and Danielle Barnea facing just such a threat: an obsessed fanatic plotting nothing less than the total destruction of America. Danielle, now the head of Israel's National Police, still relies on her Palestinian-American partner, detective Ben Kamal, currently working for a private security firm in Boston. When a raid on a terrorist hideout in Gaza yields flame-charred pages written in Arabic, she sends the document to Ben for his inspection. Shockingly, his translation reveals that the pages are actually a fatwa, a religious edict, granting permission to bring about a biblical prophecy known as the End of All Things. Layla Aziz Rahani, embattled daughter of a powerful Saudi Arabian billionaire, is the mastermind behind this insidious plot, whose apocalyptic scope and magnitude are almost beyond comprehension. Now Danielle and Ben, working both separately and together, must track Rahani along a deadly trail of shadows and subterfuge that spans three continents-before an ancient prediction becomes a very real and irreversible disaster.

Download or read book An Unnecessary Woman written by Rabih Alameddine and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A happily misanthropic Middle East divorcee finds refuge in books in a “beautiful and absorbing” novel of late-life crisis (The New York Times). Aaliya is a divorced, childless, and reclusively cranky translator in Beirut nurturing doubts about her latest project: a 900-page avant-garde, linguistically serpentine historiography by a late Chilean existentialist. Honestly, at seventy-two, should she be taking on such a project? Not that Aailiya fears dying. Women in her family live long; her mother is still going crazy. But on this lonely day, hour-by-hour, Aaliya’s musings on literature, philosophy, her career, and her aging body, are suddenly invaded by memories of her volatile past. As she tries in vain to ward off these emotional upwellings, Aaliya is faced with an unthinkable disaster that threatens to shatter the little life she has left. In this “meditation on, among other things, aging, politics, literature, loneliness, grief and resilience” (The New York Times), Alameddine conjures “a beguiling narrator . . . who is, like her city, hard to read, hard to take, hard to know and, ultimately, passionately complex” (San Francisco Chronicle). A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award, An Unnecessary Woman is “a fun, and often funny . . . grave, powerful . . . [and] extraordinary” Washington Independent Review of Books) ode to literature and its power to define who we are. “Read it once, read it twice, read other books for a decade or so, and then pick it up and read it anew. This one’s a keeper” (The Independent)

Download or read book The Covert Guardian written by Liane Zane and published by Zephon Books. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prequel to the Elioud Legacy series Every hero starts somewhere. She's going to take the fast track from student to trained covert operative. Six months ago, Olivia Markham testified in the grueling murder trial of her cousin Emily's killer. When her boyfriend Jamie surprises Olivia with a trip to Ibiza, party island of the world, her family and friends urge her to go. After all, Emily had been her best friend, the one she'd planned to room with at Brown University her freshman year. Olivia gets her chance to let loose—only not in the way anyone could foresee. What was supposed to be a vacation dancing and drinking on the beach trying to move on from her cousin's death turns into a nightmare terrorist attack instead. As men with automatic weapons and knives move through screaming, swimsuit-clad, and drunken tourists, Olivia can't flee. She has to do something. Even if it kills her. So she stops and confronts a knife-wielding man who'd just slaughtered a young couple. It was a foolhardy act. But Olivia's presence of mind and surprising fighting skills don't go unnoticed—or in vain. A team from the Special Activities Division, the CIA's ultra-clandestine paramilitary unit, miraculously intervenes. What happens next changes the course of Olivia's life forever. Set six years before the ELIOUD LEGACY series, THE COVERT GUARDIAN narrates Olivia Markham's genesis from idealistic college student to trained intelligence operative. "I took the opportunity to read The Covert Guardian twice. What an intriguing plot - what interesting characters - what wonderful geographical and cultural contexts. Zane is one helluva researcher. I'm a fan!!!!" Ted Fichtl, Col. USA, Retired
