On a strange and hostile planet, a survey team finds they are not alone A team of NASA astronauts embark on a 1-year long survey expedition to a newly discovered planet. Their mission is to explore and document the planet's weather, environment and useful resources, if any. But before long weird disturbances make them realize that they may not be alone. The planet has extreme weather and temperature conditions that make just basic tasks and even survival difficult. New species of plants and other life forms are strange and in some cases deadly to the unprepared. Like the original settlers on the American frontier they must be resourceful and self-reliant. One year is a long time for a small group faced with unknown dangers and challenges...will they complete their mission goals or will they suffer the fate of many pioneers in an unforgiving new land.

When a deadly threat threatens to ignite a war on the streets of Mumbai, an alcoholic, washed-up former superhero must reluctantly join forces with a mysterious individual from his past to fight the ticking clock and save the city. The catch? This individual just happens to be the greatest super-villain Mumbai has ever known. Codename Alpha is a self-aware superhero epic with all the whistle-worthy 80s Bollywood trappings we know and love. It is Deadpool meets Om Shanti Om – the self-aware, irreverent, foul-mouthed lovechild of the Russo Brothers and Manmohan Desai.

Code Name One Alpha looks at human trafficking in much detail and the link with counter-terrorism. I knew about human trafficking, from the news and have read articles, however, I did not understand the true scope of the problem. As Angelique explains in Chapter 7, there are currently 40 to 43 million slaves in the world. That is close to double Australia's population, half of that of Britain and France and about 90% of South Africa's. Serious figures that I found difficult to comprehend. If you were to look at everyone walking around in a city like New York and imagine them in shackles... and yet you still wouldn't get the true picture. I had the unhappy task to describe what is done to victims once they are grabbed, snatched, abducted. There comes a time when a man must stop looking the other way and stand up and be counted. Once you read this book you have no more justifications in ignoring what is happening right now, everywhere. If you don't want that burden, don't read Code Name One Alpha. The main theme is important as well, I describe how a NATO / US-based Special Forces Team will be hunted down in this theatre and destroyed when cornered and note I say "when" and not "if" cornered. The enemy Special Forces Team stands no chance as far as I am concerned and why I say so is defined in the book. I will also explain how the South African Army's armour battlegroups operate independently with their own infantry and supply columns. As a cover, to explain the role of the armour in hunting Special Forces, we take a hard look at how CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) is done here with armour formations, Special Forces, spies, multi-role air superiority fighters and whatever else is needed. We then take a very interesting look at the history of the CSAR, especially in the Vietnam War. It is not a job for Special Forces as such but can be done by Special Forces if needed, but only when all other options have failed. We deal with some tough realities in GMJ Books and the subjects can be difficult. However, we strive to make this information digestible, and sometimes, some information should not be kept secret. My intention is for a better world. Always.Description: Spymaster extraordinaire, Angelique Dawson and her team are in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, conducting a training CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) mission to liberate a shot down pilot on the run. They are working with the Army's armour battalions and Special Forces. However, she is at the same time manipulating affairs to include an exercise to find a simulated NATO Special Forces Team that may be operating in South Africa in the future. She wishes to test the most likely response to such a threat. To do so she is calling in fast-moving armour, attack helicopters, mechanised infantry, paratroopers, Special Forces and her own people to chase the team down. Yet, this is not all, she is also planning a secret raid on a maternity clinic in a nearby city which is being used as a human trafficking centre. She has reports that it is also trading in human organs. As far as is known, she has no official permission for the raid, the traffickers are being protected by the highest levels of corruption. That will not stop Angelique Dawson. Her bodyguard and later husband, Geoffrey Foxtrot and his friend, legendary Special Forces officer, Geelslang Peter Ndebele have their hands full to protect Angelique and work out the logistics, plan the raid and then execute it, all under the tactical command of Angelique's female team leader, One Alpha.If you wish to read about Covert and Special Forces Operations in sub-Saharan Africa, the GMJ Books are the place to start. You will learn about covert operations, Special Forces techniques and military history not known outside the select few. Code Name One Alpha is the 34th book of the popular GMJ Series.

** A USA Today Bestselling Novel ** Years ago, we were in love. She was an up-and-coming superstar and I was the security professional hired to keep her safe. We fell hard and fast, no matter how much we tried to resist one another. But not everyone around us was happy about our relationship, and a string of lies and deceit destroyed what we once had. I moved on from her and didn’t look back. Now I’ve taken the helm of a nationally renowned protective services company, and I’m looking to rebrand my career. The newly crowned Jameson Force Security is moving from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the mountainous steel town of Pittsburgh, and the last thing I have time for is to deal with my past. More than a decade has passed since our split, but even a bruised and battered heart remembers its first love. So when Joslyn Meyers comes to me for help, I reluctantly agree to keep her safe from a terrifying stalker who keeps threatening her life. As the danger continues to intensify, it becomes clear that I’ll stop at nothing to protect the woman who turned her back on me all those years ago. Because one thing is certain—no matter how hard I try to convince myself otherwise, Joslyn still has my heart.

During the Cold War, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty broadcast uncensored news and commentary to people living in communist nations. As critical elements of the CIA's early covert activities against communist regimes in Eastern Europe, the Munich-based stations drew a large audience despite efforts to jam the broadcasts and ban citizens from listening to them. This history of the stations in the Cold War era reveals the perils their staff faced from the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania and other communist states. It recounts in detail the murder of writer Georgi Markov, the 1981 bombing of the stations by "Carlos the Jackal," infiltration by KGB agent Oleg Tumanov and other events. Appendices include security reports, letters between Carlos the Jackal and German terrorist Johannes Weinrich and other documents, many of which have never been published.
