Whatever happened to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction? In this thriller ripped from tomorrow's headlines, a divided America has overcommitted its armed forces to foreign lands-and has a ruthless enemy bent on crushing its soul. Matt Garrett, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative, is recovering from the death of his brother and his own wounds received during combat in the global war on terror. The Vice President sends him to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to meet with special operations forces to discuss missing Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, only to have his air force jet commandeered by an enemy combatant. Held captive by a terrorist mastermind and former Iraqi general with a startling link to his brother, Garrett struggles for survival. His successful escape leads him to the unnerving discovery that the terrorists have kidnapped the world's expert on nanotechnology-and to new questions about his brother's death. The enemy unleashes a series of powerful attacks across the country, cutting at the very fabric of the nation, while Garrett uncovers a conspiracy dating back to the first Gulf War. Has the rogue threat targeting the United States marshaled the capability to deal a devastating blow to the country using weapons of mass destruction?

Genie thought learning how to “do” The Hustle was the worst thing about 1977, right along with strobe lights and disco balls, but she discovers something far worse the day she is bottle banished by an unsanctioned hunter obsessed with her destruction.

Overwhelmed with shame, and keeping secrets from even himself, Reid Romans is the worst master ever. He stinks. He's dirty.

"A textbook summary of how international investment law developed over the past fifty years may go something like this. States signed thousands of largely similar international investment agreements (IIAs) to protect the property of their investors abroad. Most of these IIAs allowed foreign investors to sue host states via investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) for treaty breaches. ISDS was barely used until the late 1990s. When ISDS claims finally surged, states realized that their treaties offered greater investment protection than intended. States reacted by narrowing the commitments offered in newly concluded agreements. This backlash against investment arbitration resulted in a "new generation" of IIAs that rebalanced investment protection and host state regulatory autonomy"--

Saturday afternoon I gathered the necessities for the backyard adventure; sleeping bag, flashlight, firecrackers, and just in case we got attacked by a pack of rabid dogs-a BB gun. In the spirited mind of a boy, Illinois back then was a wilderness. A rugged no man's land of wild beasts and unspeakable dangers. No place for a tenderfoot. Meet Frank Nightlinger, an ordinary, middle-aged man who feels as if the world's best adventures have forever vanished. The gloom begins to lift one night in the company of newfound friends. Between dusk and dawn where light and dark part company, Frank journeys back to the glory of his green years, back to those sun-drenched days of childhood all but forgotten, back to English Lake, Illinois, the way it was-will always be-in Frank's nostalgic imaginings. And back to the night of the Sadie Hawkins dance. Recalling those timeless days of wonder, Frank pieces together a young boy's inviting world of make-believe. It's a small world of backyard adventures, flying hamsters, rotten kids, live nudes, and murder. For more than thirty-five years Frank has hidden the melancholy truth behind the disappearance of English Lake's children. Now he's talking
