Download or read book Seven Full Days written by Ferris Shelton and published by Off the Common Books. This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living the American dream, Jason believes he is playing by the rules. Blessed with Callie, a loving wife, and a successful career; life is good. However, an ambitious nature has turned to obsession rarely decorated with other aspects of a fulfilling life. Over the years, a desire has become a behemoth – ethically based and ruthlessly applied. But this week, something is different. Unsettling dreams have morphed into traumatic experiences real and restless enough to feel in the marrow of his bones. Jason’s nights have become a life-threatening thrill-ride that remains an enduring psychological burden by day. What has brought this on? The empath and the expert call the dreams a paranormal phenomenon—internally triggered by tension between mind and spirit – and warn they cannot go on indefinitely. There are only Seven Full Days to find answers and now some of them have passed. As time grows short, Jason must find clues while it’s daytime because when the night comes… Seven Full Days is not directed at assigning blame. The author is careful to portray the El Mina dream experiences as realistically as his imagination, aided by that very strange feeling he encountered while visiting El Mina would allow – and to do so as benignly as possible. This is not ‘who did this’ but rather ‘what happened. A debut novel tells the story of a rising Atlanta businessman visited by disturbing dreams of the slavery era. …Shelton writes in a descriptive prose that captures his characters’ emotional states in vivid detail: the waking Jason…(is) forced to mete out increasingly demeaning admonishments to his black co-workers on behalf of his white managers. At night, however, Jason watches from inside the head of his ancient black host—without the ability to comment or control the man’s actions—as the figure is captured, placed in chains, and marched to a dungeon…While the premise of the book might sound heavy-handed, the author shapes it with a surprising amount of grace and nuance. —Kirkus Review

You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.

Book excerpt: THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE RIVETING NEW THRILLER SERIES BY FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER "David Rivers is back with a vengeance in the Shadow Strike series, and the stakes have never been higher-or more personal." -Steven Konkoly, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Ryan Decker Series When a terrorist attack leaves more questions than answers, David Rivers and his team are sent to uncover the mastermind. After the largest terrorist attack in US history is narrowly foiled, the sole enemy survivor has only one name to provide his interrogators: Ghulam Samedi. But Samedi is a fugitive in the rugged mountains of China's Xinjiang Province, where opium smugglers, a violent separatist movement, and secret police make every mile of ground fraught with danger. As part of the CIA's newly-minted targeted killing program, Rivers and his team of Agency contractors are tasked with assassinating Samedi. Once they are inside China, there will be no backup, no air support, no escape-only a handful of local assets with dubious motivations. Rivers' team of former mercenaries was assembled for these kinds of covert operations: they are unilateral, unattributable, and if things go wrong, utterly expendable. As they embark on their most challenging mission yet, they will stop at nothing to hunt down Samedi...the last target standing between them and a sinister conspiracy with global implications.
