An action-packed and all-too-realistic vision of nations navigating the minefield of international intrigue, Protect and Defend is Vince Flynn’s most explosive political thriller yet. The action begins in the heart of Iran, where billions of dollars are being spent on the development of a nuclear program. No longer willing to wait for the international community to stop its neighboring enemy, Israel launches a creative and daring operation that leaves a radioactive tomb in the middle of Iran’s second largest city. An outraged Iranian government publicly blames both Israel and the United States and demands retribution.
Enter Mitch Rapp, America’s top counterterrorism operative. Rapp convinces President Josh Alexander to sign off on a risky operation that will push Iran to the brink of revolution. But when Iran recruits Hezbollah master terrorist Imad Mukhtar, and a CIA effort goes disastrously wrong, Rapp and Mukhtar are set on a collision course that threatens to engulf the entire region in war. With the clock ticking, Rapp is given twenty-four hours, no questions asked, to do whatever it takes to stop Mukhtar, and avert an unthinkable catastrophe.

¿Por qué tiene tanta importancia la Navidad?
Si uno se pone a pensarlo bien, es increíble que el nacimiento simple y sin pretensiones de un bebé campesino, hace más de dos mil años en el Medio Oriente, pueda causar embotellamientos cada mes de diciembre en sitios como la ciudad de Nueva York, Tokio, y Río de Janeiro.
La noche en que nació Jesucristo en Belén, un pequeño grupo de pastorcillos pobres cuidaban tranquilamente a sus rebaños de ovejas mientras contemplaban las estrellas. Era una noche idéntica al de las otras mil noches, pero lo que estaba a punto de suceder transformaría no sólo sus vidas sino a las de millones de otras personas. El mundo nunca sería igual.
No importa qué religión practicas, necesitas saber cómo los tres propósitos que tiene la Navidad resolverán tus tres necesidades más grandes.

This book, which is Gibran’s masterpiece, has become one of the beloved classics of our time. Published in 1923, it has been translated into more than twenty languages, and the American edition alone has sold more that four million copies.
Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievment.
He said: “I think I’ve never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me… I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer.”
The Chicago post said of The Prophet: “Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one’s ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes… If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man’s philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth.”

The case appears cut and dried, ’til a brilliant stroke of insight leads the detective to a solution of the damning evidence.
"…to refer to David’s Sherlock Holmes productions as simply dramatic readings is a major understatement, as he brings a wonderful range of distinctly unique voices into play as he essays each of the characters, creating a marvelously layered and rich listening experience that showcases Arthur Conan Doyle’s masterful use of language." – Charles Prepolec, bakerstreetdozen.com
"…David Ian Davies’s reading of The Tangled Skein is a full-blooded theatrical performance that does justice to his near-namesake’s gripping narrative. – Roger Johnson, Editor District Messenger Newspaper, The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

This is the story of Mark Twain’s brief career as a Confederate soldier at the beginning of the American Civil War.
Mark Twain’s "private history" is told from the viewpoint of "someone who set out to do something in the war, but didn’t.”
What starts out as a kind of class reunion/camping trip quickly becomes a series of frightful near misses with a determined and deadly foe, and ends in painful, premature death for some and a lifetime of guilty regrets for others.
Mark Twain invites us to witness real war first hand, in a time when men still looked one another in the eye in the final moment of battle.

Centuries after its conception in 1505, scholars have yet to agree on Machiavelli’s intended message in this brief but compelling political work. A mainstay of Political Science classes everywhere, The Prince is a controversial “how to” guide on achieving, retaining and expanding political power.
Considered by many to be the father of modern Politics, Nicolo Machiavelli was a man of his time, presenting such infamous arguments as committing relatively minor acts of cruelty to avert larger ones is a necessary act of leadership.
Does this make Machiavelli a protofascistic teacher of evil, as some believe the following excerpt would imply?
