The British Army's SAS--the Special Air Service--is recognized as one of the world's premier special operations units. During the Gulf War, deep behind Iraqi lines, an SAS team was compromised. A fierce firefight ensued, and the eight men were forced to run for their lives. Only one, Chris Ryan, escaped capture--by walking nearly 180 miles through the desert for a week. The One That Got Away is his breathtaking story of extraordinary courage under fire, of narrow escapes, of highly trained soldiers struggling against the most adverse of conditions, and, above all, of one man's courageous refusal to lie down and die.

In this finale, Iyana finds herself abandoned and pregnant after she is kidnapped and raped by her ex-boyfriend, Elijah. Instead of being the loving and compassionate boyfriend, Keyz walks out on her only to come back fighting to get the one that got away. That would be easy if he didn’t have other battles to fight like the one against Chico and Myriah about their son, Ishmael. It’s no longer man against man. It’s crew against crew until they all realize that family trumps all when lives are at stake. Rickey, Iyana’s loud and sassy best friend, sadly learns that Tone is not the man he thought he was. After almost a year of being his bedroom action, Tone walks out leaving Rickey to pick up the pieces alone, or does he? Sky and Shyne are the couple from hell while they fight the good fight in the name of love. Little did they know that their battle is bigger than love when new enemies rear their ugly heads. Will Sky and Shyne stick it out and fight together, or will their egos and careers get in the way? Myriah and Chico are now together and things couldn’t be worse. If it wasn’t about the paternity of Ishmael, it was about his rowdy ex, Meka, who couldn’t seem to let go. Will their testament of love stand against the wiles of a jaded ex, or will they allow each other one more person to stand in their way of happiness? Find out who wins and who loses when it comes to matters of the heart. There are never any easy battles but once you win, the beauty is getting the prize you fought and would kill for.

The Knights of the Golden Circle along with the Order of American Knights are finally exposed, unexpectedly in the state of Nebraska. A huge cache was hidden by the secret organizations to fund the next rebellion and part of it was brought to the frontier. This is the first book in the series that will describe Knights of the Golden Circle operations in Nebraska and the members of the organizations involved, including the outlaw Jesse Woodson James. The Lincoln assassination is re-examined with recently discovered evidence pointing to the conspirators that were most likely responsible for the assassination. The book will also shed new light on evidence in Finis Bates's claim that John Wilkes Booth escaped to freedom and lived out his life as John St. Helen whom Bates met in Granbury Texas. The secret organizations of the K.G.C. and the O.A.K. are also linked to the Freemasons with the symbolism and membership of all three organizations overlapping among several members. The K.G.C. ranks reached all the way to the President of the United States. New evidence now links the secret organizations directly to the white house during more than one presidency. The true lives of presidents, prominent politicians, Judges, lawyers, bankers, businessmen and their link to the outlaw Jesse Woodson James will now be told.
