Book excerpt: “When I was the Director of Central Intelligence, I relied on Mike and his colleagues to keep me and my family safe around the world.” – George Tenet Former Director Central Intelligence Agency Close personal protection can often mean the difference between life and death. But for too many protectees or practitioners, understanding the world of executive protection (EP) can be an intimidating and unfamiliar prospect. The Protected is an inside view of personal security, intelligence and executive protection written by someone who has lived it for more than 30 years. In this book, former CIA Special Agent and security specialist Michael Trott demonstrates how much EP depends on training, experience, proper intelligence, lessons learned, one’s ability to operate both alone and in a team, and – perhaps most importantly – adopting the proper mindset. Aimed at protectees, practitioners and all those with an interest in EP, The Protected contains valuable insight on: • Determining your personal risk profile (i.e., your why) • How the global risk environment affects your personal security • Establishing a durable and effective protection program • The subtle nuances of providing successful close protection • Important EP methodologies, philosophies, complexities and mindsets • The people who protect others and their unique perspectives

Book excerpt: An inspiring and achingly honest story of a girl with the courage to endure, hope, and even heal in the face of unimaginable tragedy, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen's Just Listen. I have three months left to call Katie my older sister. Then the gap will close and I will pass her. I will get older. But Katie will always be fifteen, eleven months and twenty-one days old. Hannah has survived high school by putting up walls. At first, they were meant to protect her from the relentless bullying that no one would defend her from, not even her popular older sister, Katie. Then Katie died, and, in a cruel twist of fate, Hannah's daily torment abruptly stopped. Now the walls try to shut it all out—the grief, the loneliness, and the harsh truth that Katie's death has somehow improved Hannah's life. Then something happens that Hannah couldn't have predicted—friendship comes knocking in the form of new student Josh Chamberlain. Hannah has never been so desperate for connection. But if this isn't for real, if it's just another joke, Hannah's not sure she can take it. Praise for Protected: "Zorn shows the devastating effects of bullying while affectingly tracing Hannah's spiritual journey, coming to terms with truths she doesn't want to face and learning how to trust. " —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Though the book tackles important issues, it reaches far beyond these flash points into a fully developed exploration of the aftermath of tragedy through strong characterization and genuine emotional appeal."—Kirkus, Starred Review

Book excerpt: Naomi When I got scooped up in a giant net and shoved in a locked room with a bunch of other people, I knew it couldn't be good. Then a bunch of blue aliens started waving guns around and ripping our clothes off and I knew it really couldn't be good. I've never been the sort of person to give up, so I crawled into a ventilation shaft and got out of there as fast as possible. I didn't know how I was going to survive this, no one trained me how to escape from aliens, or how to deal with the end of the world, I was just winging it. Days of hiding with no food or water left me desperate though, so when I found a cell with a tray of food left out, I took a chance. Unfortunately, this cell comes with a big, red alien with scary horns and rage problems. Carn Years of fighting, blood rages and loneliness had left my mind a clouded wasteland. I existed only to battle in the syto arena, shed more turoch blood for their entertainment, with no thought to the future. What future was there to think about? I was trapped, with no hope of escape, and no hope for something better. Then a small female crawled out of a vent in my ceiling. Naomi doesn't treat me like a monster, she doesn't smell of fear or disgust when I loom over her. Trading my rations for her company seems like a small price to pay for the gift of having someone speak to me, sleep near me. It doesn't take long for me to realize I'll do anything for the female who's fallen into my lap. I'll fight for her safety, kill to keep that smile on her face. Noami is everything I've ever wanted, and everything I don't deserve.
