Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bloody story of the rise of paramilitaries in Colombia, told through three characters -- a fearless activist, a dogged journalist, and a relentless investigator -- whose lives intersected in the midst of unspeakable terror. Colombia's drug-fueled cycle of terror, corruption, and tragedy did not end with Pablo Escobar's death in 1993. Just when Colombians were ready to move past the murderous legacy of the country's cartels, a new, bloody chapter unfolded. In the late 1990s, right-wing paramilitary groups with close ties to the cocaine business carried out a violent expansion campaign, massacring, raping, and torturing thousands. There Are No Dead Here is the harrowing story of three ordinary Colombians who risked everything to reveal the collusion between the new mafia and much of the country's military and political establishment: JesúríValle, a human rights activist who was murdered for exposing a dark secret; IváVeláuez, a quiet prosecutor who took up Valle's cause and became an unlikely hero; and Ricardo Calderóa dogged journalist who is still being targeted for his revelations. Their groundbreaking investigations landed a third of the country's Congress in prison and fed new demands for justice and peace that Colombia's leaders could not ignore. Taking readers from the sweltering Medellístreets where criminal investigators were hunted by assassins, through the countryside where paramilitaries wiped out entire towns, and into the corridors of the presidential palace in BogotáThere Are No Dead Here is an unforgettable portrait of the valiant men and women who dared to stand up to the tide of greed, rage, and bloodlust that threatened to engulf their country.

For thousands of years the Darhel, a warrior species conditioned to be incapable of killing, manipulated and controlled the human race.

Book excerpt: Sara was a beautiful daughter and sister, although, in the mirror, other entities snarled back at her. Sisters Sara and Kamryn are as opposite as Dry Ice and Steaming Lava, like each of us, were products of our family tree, DNA. Genetically predisposed or motivated by our inherited traits, we can be traced back to our ancestors, our bloodlines cannot be altered, and we are what we were. Sara’s ‘Life Story’ is agonizing and rewarding. I feel compelled to follow protocols as you read on prescription bottles, umh, disclaimers with side effects… Warnings. If you’re not a secure individual, don’t read or listen to Sara’s story. Run fast away if you are offended by sexual innuendos with graphic descriptions. If you dislike reading slang, abhor cusswords, are adverse to reading about various forms of violence, or can’t understand that all of us are not politically correct. Please walk away with your sanity. Sara has her own agenda, deemed a Psycho-Sociopath, a Chameleon who can blend in with society and even be your next-door neighbor. Sara’s story can’t be stereotyped or categorized; it’s not genre based, nope… like humans, her story is diverse, nurtured with humor and horror, and could be called a crime drama of fiction. A psychological thriller, Mystery, or perhaps a Romance laden lovers twist. Sara is not unlike us; she has multiple personalities and can mold and pretend to be the person you think she is. Her story hasn’t been finalized. This book brings the reader current. Her sister Kamryn’s book

Download or read book Fear No Men written by Lonely Wolf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child born in a Communist country. A car accident. Unfaithful husbands and fathers. Unfortunate friends, relatives and strangers. Corrupt role models. City life or Transylvanian villages steeped in centuries of blood and traditions. Gypsy fortunes and misfortunes; sharing fruit with the Communist President. With stigma attached to her like a Jewish star or a cow brand, a little girl encounters termination over and over and the scars map the way to the beginning of the road ahead. The perseverance to wage battle against the odds with rudimentary weapons fashioned from experience in the school of Hard-Knocks would drive anyone else into the faraway fields of madness and mayhem. Her splayed footprints follow the paw prints of her model and mentor, the wolf; always faithful, always courageous, always committed and always working for the good of the pack. Her tragic yet childish innocence attracts predators along the way and she learns how to heal the pain within, by becoming even more passionate and compassionate of human nature, never losing faith in her power to change destiny. Follow this child as she grows up under the Communist umbrella. At times her trips are violent, sometimes funny, sometimes deadly, but during many stumbles, falls and scrapes, she will take you into the twisted world of adults, to show you the light in her spirit and her unshakable power of believing in oneself. Due to the graphic nature and details in her world, adults will feel uncomfortable and younger audiences should not attempt to enter. The language used is that of the narrator as a child who becomes a teen and then a young-adult, throughout the chapters of her life. Whoever considered or labeled this child crazy, is either dead, old, or otherwise committed to the solitude of eternal damnation and any similarities to real people in life is purely coincidental.
