From the number one bestselling author, Peter James, comes an explosive standalone thriller for fans of Dan Brown that will grip you and won't let go until the very last page. Investigative reporter Ross Hunter nearly didn’t answer the phone call that would change his life – and possibly the world – for ever. ‘I know this is going to sound strange, but I’ve recently been given absolute proof of God’s existence – and I’ve been advised there is a writer, a respected journalist called Ross Hunter, who could help me to get taken seriously.’ What would it take to prove the existence of God? And what would be the consequences? This question and its answer lie at the heart of Absolute Proof. The false faith of a billionaire evangelist, the life’s work of a famous atheist, and the credibility of each of the world’s major religions are all under threat. If Ross Hunter can survive long enough to present the evidence . . .
Download or read book Darkness at Dawn written by David Satter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2003-04-10 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Russia that Satter depicts in this brave, engaging book cannot be ignored . . . Required reading for anyone interested in the post-Soviet state” (Newsweek). Anticipating a new dawn of freedom after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russians could hardly have foreseen the reality of their future a decade later: A country impoverished and controlled at every level by organized crime. This riveting book views the 1990s reform period through the experiences of individual citizens, revealing the changes that have swept Russia and their effect on Russia’s age-old ways of thinking. “With a reporter’s eye for vivid detail and a novelist’s ability to capture emotion, he conveys the drama of Russia’s rocky road for the average victimized Russian . . . This is only half the story of what is happening in Russia these days, but it is the shattering half, and Satter renders it all the more poignant by making it so human.” —Foreign Affairs “[Satter] tells engrossing tales of brazen chicanery, official greed and unbearable suffering . . . Satter manages to bring the events to life with excruciating accounts of real Russians whose lives were shattered.” —The Baltimore Sun “Satter must be commended for saying what a great many people only dare to think.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Humane and articulate.” —The Spectator “Vivid, impeccably researched and truly frightening . . . Western policy-makers would do well to study these pages.” —National Post

Book excerpt: Nearly everybody got sick. They won't let us leave.' 'Everyone is sick? Who won't let you go?' Lucy pressed to Lewis's side, grasping his arm closely with both hands. 'The people in the yellow suits who came to help us; they put us in tents. All of Dafne's turkeys died, and then everybody got real sick.' 'God help us.' The Beginning of Sorrows, ER Webb's third novel in a series of six, finds the world on the brink of a global viral pandemic that threatens the lives of millions and the economic ruin of nations. The pandemic, introduced manually by a Russian bio-terrorist into two turkey farms in Israel in an attempt to eradicate the tiny nation, rapidly escapes the boundaries of Israel and spreads over the globe. World centers for disease control are caught flatfooted, with no hope of stemming the viral tide. While scientists race to contain the virus, a select team known as the Pallium Project make an astounding scientific discovery-a serendipitous breakthrough that relies upon the properties of nega-mass activity-which could prove to be the means to halt the spreading pestilence, and an opportunity to ease the rising tensions between the USA and Russia. The Beginning of Sorrows is another start-to-finish read from ER Webb as global events unfold with gripping tension. Is The Beginning of Sorrows the beginning of the end?

Beginning with Universal-International's 1955 pairing of Revenge of the Creature and Cult of the Cobra, 147 officially sanctioned horror and sci-fi double-bills were released over a 20-year period. This book presents these double features year-by-year, and includes production details, historical notes, and critical commentary for each film.

Working alone with the help of his friends daughter, who is an editor at the local newspaper, he must carry out this dangerous undertaking in the time frame allotted to him by his superiores. The task at hand, although a dangerous undertaking, was straight forward---seek retribution on his friends adversaries, but to get out alive would be a challenge. However, he was not prepared to fall in love with his best daughter. An unexpected relationship develops between him and the seductive young woman who would aid him throughout his mission, but this unintended, passionate love affair could jeopardize his entire mission and place both their lives in imminent danger. His goal is to seek justice, and bring down Nicklaus Vinchinzi and the people in his unscrupulous organization and others responsible for the orchestrated attack on his longtime friend and colleague. These were very dangerous times in the United States and failure was not an option. This story is about one brave man and woman who fought the lonely fight against mans oppressors, like the charlatans who hide behind cloistered walls, and the righteous do-gooders whose only ambition is to force their narrow, opinionated beliefs on others. It was a dangerous mission in a hostile land with no promise of the dawn. Working alone, he would attempt to take down the organization responsible for his friends misfortune and eliminate the man at the top whose sole function was to enforce the new regimes strict laws and to eliminate any dissidents who opposed the ruling autocracy.
