Book Description
About The Book “Eko Aham Dwitiyo Nasti, Na Bhuto, Na Bhavishyati.” “I am the only one, there is no other like me, neither in the past, nor will there be another in the future.” A personal sounding email in the midst of so much unsolicited junk, announcing “Your friend passed away” captures the author’s attention and takes him to a flashback mode. A long-lost friend with whom he had spent hours in deep, animated conversations, his views on varied topics ranging from the Universe, Origin and evolution of life to the Gods up there in the sky, and many others flashed past the mind. And then, the next day a parcel containing the dear departed friend’s writings, arrives with a note from his son that Mr. Shrestha had wished all this to be sent to his friend - the author, for his keepsake, and as a reminder of the good times spent together engrossed in such stimulating conversations. About The Author Hargovind Pant, after completing his Masters in Life Sciences, chose to be an educator and had a fulfilling career spanning forty-eight years as teacher and Principal of schools in India and Kenya. Having spent his almost entire life with “young Homo – sapiens” ( as he prefers to call his students ), he has immense faith in the capabilities of youth. He is firm in the belief that in the next two hundred years (only eight generations from today) humanity will have achieved much more than the cumulative achievements of almost half a million years Homo -Sapiens have been in existence. But all this with a caveat, if only we and our future generations would prove ourselves worthy of the gift of Prometheus. An avid reader, and too young to retire, Hargovind Pant gives motivational talks to students in schools and colleges. He lives in the beautiful hill station of Nainital (India) with his wife of fifty years.

Book Description
Mitch Rapp, the CIA’s top operative, searches for a high-level mole with the power to rewrite the world order in this riveting thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn, written by Kyle Mills. Mitch Rapp has worked for several presidents over his career, but Anthony Cook is unlike any he’s encountered before. Cunning and autocratic, he feels no loyalty to America’s institutions and is distrustful of the influence Rapp and CIA director Irene Kennedy have in Washington. When Kennedy discovers evidence of a mole scouring the Agency’s database for sensitive information on Nicholas Ward, the world’s first trillionaire, she assigns Rapp the task of protecting him. In doing so, he finds himself walking an impossible tightrope: Keep the man alive, but also use him as bait to uncover a traitor who has seemingly unlimited access to government secrets. As the attacks on Ward become increasingly dire, Rapp and Kennedy are dragged into a world where the lines between governments, multinational corporations, and the hyper-wealthy fade. An environment in which liberty, nationality, and loyalty are meaningless. Only the pursuit of power remains. With “sizzling storytelling at its level best” (The Providence Journal), Kyle Mills has created another suspenseful thriller that not only echoes the America of today, but also offers a glimpse into its possible future.
