Book excerpt: International Booker-nominated satirist GauZ’ returns with a panoramic journey into the colonization of the African interior. Mourning the recent deaths of his parents, a young white man in nineteenth-century France joins a colonial expedition attempting to establish trading routes on the Ivory Coast and finds himself caught between factions who disagree on everything—except their shared loathing of the British. A century later, a young Black boy born in Amsterdam gives his account, complete with youthful malapropisms, of his own voyage to the Ivory Coast, and his upbringing by his father, Comrade Papa, who teaches him to always fight "the yolk of capitalism." In exuberant, ingenious prose, GauZ' superimposes their intertwined stories, looking across centuries and continents to reveal the long arc of African colonization.

Download or read book RUN TO WHERE NOBODY IS WAITING written by Decebal Bugariu and published by Auto Book Bots. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After living in a corrupt, totalitarian regime in which you are denied the very basic individual rights of freedom– to speak without censorship, to worship without intimidation, to read books you want and meet friends without fear of being spied or reported on, to grow professionally without shameful compromises, to get a passport without the humiliation of having to bribe a corrupt official—when all of these become unbearable, fleeing is one of the very few options; no certain destination, no one waiting for you, yet the only way you can save your sanity, dignity, and integrity. This is a personal account of a long journey from total desperation, through life and near-death events, to safety, hope, and freedom, and I hope that, as crude and unhindered this story is, it is also highly entertaining.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE COLOMBIAN CONTRACT (A contract that threatened the credibility of the US Administration) The Colombian Contract is a powerful, post Gulf War thriller with a very emotive and heinous assassination plot. As the US is fighting the Gulf War. It is also involved in a war against the Colombian Drug Syndicates. The Drug Barons are losing ground and are screaming for revenge, and have taken out a contract on an unnamed, leading US political figure. Regos Shamir, alias Boris Stravok, is a top terrorist who learned his killing trade with the KGB before falling foul of his masters and taking his trade into the services of the Colombian Drug Barons. He has been given the Colombian Contract and all the undercover networks and resources of the drug market to back his play. The CIA want him dead and so does the KGB because he is exploiting, and endangering his former KGB contacts. Shamir is psychopathic killer who gets results because of his meticulous planning and patience, and for this contract he boasts a new type of murder weapon. The crux of the novel is the assassination threat and the fallout, dangers, and consequences that it causes and leaves in its wake. Many of those who become involved in this murderous web of intrigue, deception, and treason have common roots in the days when the Cold War threat was at its height, and Shamir was the top hatchet man for the notorious KGBs Department 13 operating in France, North Africa and the USA. At a wedding reception in the town of Railton in North Minnesota, a bomb explodes killing the bride and bridegroom and several guests and injuring many more. This, apparently indiscriminate, heinous killing becomes even more vile when the FBI discover that the explosive used was more powerful than they had come across before, and that the nature of the bombing had been by an implant, capsule bomb that had been innocently carried by the groom in his body. It is later confirmed that the bomb was a trial run by Shamir of his new, fiendish, killing weapon of which he boasted. And that he has another bomb and another, innocent carrier. Instantly, Shamir has raised the steaks and put the combined CIA/FBI Anti Terrorist Unit, into a more frantic ball game, and, Bradley, a tough, hard hitting CIA man who now heads the combined unit has to make some hard decisions. There is an immediate blanket of secrecy put over their operation. Shamir now holds all the aces. Bradley and his team have only their questions and the dangers. Who is innocently carrying the bomb? Who is Shamir`s target? And what is his deadline? Every Government Intelligence Agency is recruited to help find Shamir, and help is also sort from friendly, foreign Intelligence. Agencies. But Bradley knows that even if he gets the answers, he will still have the problem of the implant bomb, which the FBI explosive specialists now believe cannot be removed without the very high risk of detonation. And who would risk undertaking such an operation? And what of the innocent carrier? How will he or she react? And supposing Bradley does get the carriers name, what does he do? Once he makes any move, no matter how secretly, he runs the risk of a leak of information. And to counter Shamirs threat, the Colombian Barons will be the victors and there will be a lot of dead political figures. The stage finally becomes set for a night of summer madness and a game of Russian roulette with the lives of some very important people.

Book excerpt: In an attempt to gain congressional approval for a top-secret weapons system, Washington lobbyist "Bird" McIntyre teams up with sexy, outspoken neocon Angel Templeton to pit the American public against the Chinese. When Bird fails to uncover an authentic reason to slander the nation, he and Angel put the Washington media machine to work, spreading a rumor that the Chinese secret service is working to assassinate the Dalai Lama. Meanwhile in China, mild-mannered President Fa Mengyao and his devoted aide Gang are maneuvering desperately against sinister party hard-liners Minister Lo and General Han. Now Fa and Gang must convince the world that the People's Republic is not out to kill the Dalai Lama, while maintaining Fa's small margin of power in the increasingly militaristic environment of the party. On the home front, Bird must contend with a high-strung wife who entertains Olympic equestrian ambition, and the qualifying competition happens to be taking place in China. As things unravel abroad, Bird and Angel's lie comes dangerously close to reality. And as their relationship rises to a new level, so do mounting tensions between the United States and China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTO THE LION’S DEN North Korea. For Kim Jong-un, the time has come to position his country atop the world’s pecking order. To do so, he has invested his nation’s resources in one rogue scientist. Peter Nampo is a nanotech specialist who has developed a nuclear missile not only capable of reaching the heart of Los Angeles, but also capable of knocking out America’s eyes in the skies—the GPS satellites overseeing the Korean Peninsula. Jong-un has funded Nampo’s secret laboratory somewhere in a valley of the Taebaek Mountains. Marine recon veteran and small town prosecutor William Parker has a history with Peter Nampo—and is the only one who can identify him. Recruited into a joint CIA and Pentagon Dark Ops Taskforce, Parker must infiltrate the Hermit Kingdom, find Nampo, and end the scientist’s threat. But there’s more to this mission than Parker knows, and what he discovers is a danger far greater than being trapped behind enemy lines . . .
