When an explosion rips through the home of Gulf War veteran Clarence Davenport, Secret Service Agent John Wallace and White House aide Molly Pemberton are certain that Davenport, the assassin who killed President Butler, had killed himself. President Silver, the former Education Secretary who became President when Davenport killed all other legal successors to the Presidency, informs the nation that the crime of the century has been solved and that the perpetrator is dead, only to have to admit, days later, that Davenport had escaped. National outrage at Davenport's escape escalates, fueled by Senator Jeb Davies' political ambition and his hatred of Ben Silver. Davenport, the world's most sought after fugitive, with no other place to go, is recruited by Saudi expatriates opposed to the Royal Family and ends up in an Al Qaeda training camp where he devises another plan to kill President Silver and attack the United States. Silver tries to stave off the rising tide of impeachment and at the same time combat the increasing risk of a terrorist attack that will destroy the Presidency and fundamentally change the Unites States unless he can avoid impeachment and intercept the threat.

“Toward the end of the 20th century, the prevailing prayers of Christians around the world made a profound impact on bringing down the Berlin Wall...However, at the start of a new millennium, the world witnessed on television not the ugly face of communism, but that of Islam as two jets crashed into the World Trade Center. Suddenly Christians across America were asking, ‘What is Islam?’ ‘Who are Muslims?’ and ‘Why would they kill innocent people?’ but more importantly, ‘How do we pray for them?’ F. J. Farrokh addresses this challenging question through this book.” --Dr. Tom White, Executive Director, The Voice of the Martyrs Jailbreak! provides a “prayer mat” for Christian intercessors by weaving together unique historical, theological, and cultural threads of insight about Muslims and Islam. Author F.J. Farrokh gives a spiritual perspective on the following: Beyond the stereotypes, what are Muslims really like? Why is it so difficult for Muslims to come to Christ? How is the Spirit of Islam tied to the Spirit of Humanism? What issues are Muslims wrestling with at the heart level—that are opening them to the Gospel? How can your prayers help bring a great move of God to the Muslim world? Jailbreak! encourages intensified prayer for the Muslim world in the months and years leading up to a significant historical milestone. The year 2010 will mark a 1400-year period since the inception of Islam in 610 A.D. Could that be the year the reign of the Spirit of Islam is destined to come to an end?

A revered Apache spiritual and military leader and a recurring figure in pop culture lore, Geronimo was a key figure during the settlement of the American Southwest. He led one of the last major independent Indian uprisings and personified the struggle of Native Americans during westward expansion. Geronimo: A Biography explores the life of this legendary leader, a man who has become an icon of the courageous—and doomed—struggle of the Native Americans. This biography follows Geronimo's life from his traditional Apache upbringing to his final days as a celebrity prisoner of war. It discusses the historical and social forces at work during the period, including Native American traditions and lifeways. It also shows how Geronimo's surrender in 1886 marked the end of the traditional Native American way of life. No longer free to roam the lands of their forefathers, Indians faced a future of captivity and a struggle to maintain their identity and traditions.
