Chinese extremists want to destroy America—and now they've got the means to do it. When a rogue Chinese general threatens to unleash a biological Armageddon across the U.S., there's only one man who can stop him: the Spartan. Tier One's toughest soldier has just seven days to prevent China's toughest special forces soldiers from detonating their plague canisters across the United States, poisoning millions and sending the world teetering towards war. By the Spartan's side is Teresa Vasquez—a former Juarez policewoman whose family was murdered by the cartels. Vasquez is now the owner of the world's first invisibility suit, after joining forces with the formidable Colonel Garin, Homeland Security's top troubleshooter and the Spartan's mentor. Besides the terrorists, standing in the Spartan's way is the mafia, the Mexican cartels, the triads, U.S. special forces ... and one vengeful U.S. General who never forgot the recruit who refused to salute his superior. The race is on for the Spartan to stop the canister conspiracy and save the world before the bombs go off on the 4th of July ... or before his enemies can kill him.

What would you say if I told you that President Kennedy’s death was completely made up to look like an assassination; that he was dying of an incurable disease called Addison’s disease, had accepted his fate, and was determined to go out on his shield rather than have the world see him wither away to nothing? He was shot; that we know for sure. But by whom and why? What if I told you it was done by a close-knit group of his best friends at his own request? Would you consider the possibility or think it's nuts? Taken directly from the pages of a recently discovered, personal diary that’s been kept hidden for almost 60 years, Fallen Angel takes us on an international journey of discovery revealing the true, untold emotional and spiritual journey of a man the world was never allowed to know, or forget. The idealized image of Kennedy, who seemed to be the picture of robust health, is how most remember him. Behind the scenes, however, nothing was further from the truth. He was a very sick man. In fact, he was dying. So, who stood to gain the most from his death? The mafia? The CIA? The Illuminati? No. It was Kennedy himself. Everyone knows how the story ends, but no one really knows how it began or more importantly, why. Until now. For the man who was so taken with magic as a child, this would be his greatest trick.

A fascinating look at the Russian war effort during World War Two by and American war correspondent on the spot in Moscow. “It has been said that World War II will be the most completely recorded conflict in history. Hundreds of newspapermen are now with the armed forces on every front. Through the medium of press, radio, and newsreel, they are giving a full picture of what is happening on the battlefields. (Many war correspondents have given their lives in that service.) But, more than that, they are telling us of the nature of the war, its causes and implications, and it is because of this universal education that I think there is more hope than heretofore of avoiding future international human slaughter. Nothing will contribute more to understanding among nations, which is, of course, essential for peace. With this in mind, I would urge every American to read Jim Brown’s Russia Fights. Russia Fights is not an ordinary war book. It is a fascinating and vivid picture of the Soviet Union by a veteran foreign correspondent. [...] [It] should do much to promote Soviet-American understanding. Jim Brown gives us a good picture of wartime Moscow, and, with an eye for relevant details, he also portrays the daily life and feeling of the people.”

As the equinox approaches, Sheng, Elettra, Harvey, and Mistral know they must come together one last time.
