Book excerpt: Nazi descendants are ready to take over the United States…and the only person who can stop them is half-Japanese secret agent Kiki Claymore! Dispatched by Task Force Ten to investigate the hijacking of a top secret navy drone, Kiki Claymore hoped for a holiday in the sun. Instead she’s been tossed out an airplane, kidnapped by pirates, and chased through the streets of Grenada. Some vacation. The trail leads Kiki, and her colleague Mei, to the streets of Lima, Peru. They enlist the help of Mei’s ex-boyfriend, a secret agent named Mori. Together they follow a lead to Machu Picchu, the abandoned Incan city in the Peruvian Andes. There they find Mengele, the handsome young leader of a fanatical neo-Nazi army. When Mei and Mori end up out of commission, Kiki finds herself alone—to stop a madman’s plan, remaking the world as his “Coronado”— a paradise on Earth for his “master race.” From inside the novel… Kiki sat forward. It was like she was starring in a parody of a bad war movie. “Obviously you're neo-Nazis. What are you, the boys from Brazil?” “Hitler's stepchildren?” said Bossert. Mengele put down his glass. “It's true our ancestors were high ranking individuals in the Nazi German government. But that is our greatest flaw. We are all descended from bureaucrats. The Mossad has made quite the effort to wipe out many of our uncles and grandparents who came over from Germany. Decades ago.” “But neither of us is from Brazil,” said Bossert. “I'm from Argentina.” “And I'm from Paraguay,” said Mengele.

An instant later the man’s face shot up in agony: “AAAAhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa...what are you doing?” Tatyana had latched on to one of his more delicate parts. “You don’t like my technique?” she asked. “Uh-uh.” “We want to know,” said Tatyana, “who you’ve been ferrying.” Meisner squirmed. “What do you mean? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Kiki saw Tatyana’s wrist make another twist. Kiki leaned down. She was face-to-face with the guy. “Look, I don’t like what she’s doing either, but this is going to go on until she gets what she wants. We know who you are, what you do, and we’ve been reading your e-mails for the last six weeks. We’ve got a pretty good picture of your activities, and your friends. We don’t care what you’re doing. We don’t want to have any contact with you, at all. But we’re looking for someone, who you escorted to the airport this morning. We know you don’t know his name. We just want to know where he was going.” Meisner was silent. Kiki leaned in and whispered. “She’s ripped them off before. Never on purpose. But accidents happen, you know. But that was in Minsk.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unforgettable memoir, the Navy SEALs’ most trusted translator—a man who is credited with saving countless American lives and became a legend in the special-ops community—tells his inspiring story for the first time. As the insurgency in Iraq intensified following the American invasion, U.S. Navy SEALs were called upon to root terrorists from their lairs. Unsure of the local neighborhoods and unable to speak the local languages, they came to rely on one man to guide them and watch their backs. He was a "terp"—an interpreter—with a job so dangerous they couldn't even use his real name. They named him Johnny Walker. They soon called him brother. Over the course of eight years, the Iraqi native traveled around the country with nearly every SEAL and special operations unit deployed there. He went on thousands of missions, saved dozens of SEAL and other American lives, and risked his own daily. Helped to the U.S. by the SEALs he protected, Johnny Walker's life is so remarkable that his tale reads like fiction. But every word of it is true. For the first time ever, a "terp" tells what it was like in Iraq during the American invasion and the brutal insurgency that followed. With inside details on SEAL operations and a humane understanding of the tragic price paid by ordinary Iraqis, Code Name: Johnny Walker reveals a side of the war that has never been told before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Every historical fiction novel should strive to be this compelling, well-researched and just flat-out good." — Associated Press For fans of The Nightingale and The Handmaid's Tale, Cradles of the Reich uncovers a topic rarely explored in fiction: the Lebensborn project, a Nazi breeding program to create a so-called master race. Through thorough research and with deep empathy, this chilling historical novel goes inside one of the Lebensborn Society maternity homes that existed in several countries during World War II, where thousands of "racially fit" babies were bred and taken from their mothers to be raised as part of the new Germany. At the Heim Hochland maternity home in Bavaria, three women's lives coverage as they find themselves there under very different circumstances. Gundi is a pregnant university student from Berlin. An Aryan beauty, she's secretly a member of a resistance group. Hilde, only eighteen, is a true believer in the cause and is thrilled to carry a Nazi official's child. And Irma, a 44-year-old nurse, is desperate to build a new life for herself after personal devastation. Despite their opposing beliefs, all three have everything to lose as they begin to realize they are trapped within Hitler's terrifying scheme to build a Nazi-Aryan nation. A cautionary tale for modern times told in stunning detail, Cradles of the Reich uncovers a little-known Nazi atrocity but also carries an uplifting reminder of the power of women to set aside differences and work together in solidarity in the face of oppression. "Skillfully researched and told with great care and insight, here is a World War II story whose lessons should not—must not—be forgotten." — Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Nature of Fragile Things
Download or read book Death on Ocean Boulevard written by Caitlin Rother and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[This] is one of the great crime mysteries of modern times. It took an author of Caitlin Rother’s caliber to bring it into sharp focus. A riveting read.” —Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author “I got a girl, hung herself in the guest house.” The call came on the morning of July 13, 2011, from the historic Spreckels Mansion, a lavish beachfront property in Coronado, California, owned by pharmaceutical tycoon and multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai. When authorities arrived, they found the naked body of Jonah’s girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, gagged, her ankles tied and her wrists bound behind her. Jonah’s brother, Adam, claimed to have found Rebecca hanging by a rope from the second-floor balcony. On a bedroom door in black paint were the cryptic words: SHE SAVED HIM CAN YOU SAVE HER. Was this scrawled message a suicide note or a killer’s taunt? Rebecca’s death came two days after Jonah’s six-year-old son, Max, took a devastating fall while in Rebecca’s care. Authorities deemed Rebecca’s death a suicide resulting from her guilt. But who would stage either a suicide ora murder in such a bizarre, elaborate way? Award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother weaves stunning new details into a personal yet objective examination of the sensational case. She explores its many layers—including the civil suit in which a jury found Adam Shacknai responsible for Rebecca’s death, and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department bombshell decision to reconfirm its original findings. As compelling as it is troubling, this controversial real-life mystery is a classic American tragedy that evokes the same haunting fascination as the JonBenet Ramsey and O.J. Simpson cases. “Rother’s meticulous journalism shines through in this authoritative account of the Rebecca Zahau death incident. If you think you know this case, think again. And read this book.” —Katherine Ramsland, professor of forensic psychology and author of The Psychology of Death Investigations
Download or read book Empire of the Summer Moon written by S. C. Gwynne and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award* *A New York Times Notable Book* *Winner of the Texas Book Award and the Oklahoma Book Award* This New York Times bestseller and stunning historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West “is nothing short of a revelation…will leave dust and blood on your jeans” (The New York Times Book Review). Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second entails one of the most remarkable narratives ever to come out of the Old West: the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. The war with the Comanches lasted four decades, in effect holding up the development of the new American nation. Gwynne’s exhilarating account delivers a sweeping narrative that encompasses Spanish colonialism, the Civil War, the destruction of the buffalo herds, and the arrival of the railroads, and the amazing story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her son Quanah—a historical feast for anyone interested in how the United States came into being. Hailed by critics, S. C. Gwynne’s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told. Empire of the Summer Moon announces him as a major new writer of American history.
