Dangerous Dreams
Author: GK Jurrens
Publisher: UpLife Press
ISBN: 1952165024
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
New York Times best-selling author and top-selling Amazon author, Nick Russell, says, ”Nasty and nice! Good people in bad situations, and bad people in positions of power make ‘Dangerous Dreams’ an engaging romp. GK nails it.” Firing a vindictive serial killer is dangerous business, especially when that killer and the boss are also traitors. Between them, George Janis rides an emotional roller coaster. As a disadvantaged executive of a multinational company, this corporate climber evolves from a strong leader to a potential homicide victim, to a reluctant intelligence operative, to an avenging angel. With the help of his old friend, Sam Braxton, a retired executive of America’s intelligence community, they stumble onto a plot of international intrigue. How will they respond? Who will survive? John W. Stevens, President of the United States, recalls Sam Braxton to military service. The mission? Leverage Colonel Braxton’s unique off-the-books network, including George, to root out domestic and international leaders of a massive shadow organization. Their intent? Decimate American democracy for profit. Under White House direction, a covert military operation aims to neutralize a foreign government's massive attempts to subvert the American political process with the support of nefarious domestic operatives. Will they succeed?

Book Description
Publishers Weekly: “ … a story full of convincing period details, fraught with tension and violence, and featuring a strong cast.” In 1587, 117 English colonists landed on Roanoke Island in the New World. A month later, disintegrating conditions forced the governor back to England for additional supplies and colonists. In 1590, he returned to find the colony vanished—America’s greatest unsolved mystery, the Lost Colony of Roanoke. In year 2000, young Allie O’Shay experiences a series of unsettling, lifelike dreams. She deduces she’s witnessing the desperate saga of the Lost Colony through the heart, mind, and tribulations of a young colonist named Emily Colman. The colony battles dwindling supplies, dissension, conspiracy, sickness, and hostile natives; while suitors seek Emily’s favor, and a warrior from a distant tribe stirs her heart. Disastrous circumstances converge, Emily faces terrifying perils that compel an agonizing, life-or-death decision, and Allie O’Shay discovers a dangerous dark side to her dreams and far more to her bond with the Lost Colony than she could ever have imagined. Kirkus Reviews: “ … This dynamic, genre-bending tale … delivers new discoveries and venerable truths.”

The Cost of These Dreams
Author: Wright Thompson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525505660
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller! From one of America's most beloved sportswriters and the bestselling author of Pappyland, a collection of true stories about the dream of greatness and its cost in the world of sports. "Wright Thompson's stories are so full of rich characters, bad actors, heroes, drama, suffering, courage, conflict, and vivid detail that I sometimes thinks he's working my side of the street - the world of fiction." - John Grisham There is only one Wright Thompson. He is, as they say, famous if you know who he is: his work includes the most read articles in the history of ESPN (and it's not even close) and has been anthologized in the Best American Sports Writing series ten times, and he counts John Grisham and Richard Ford among his ardent admirers (see back of book). But to say his pieces are about sports, while true as far as it goes, is like saying Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove is a book about a cattle drive. Wright Thompson figures people out. He jimmies the lock to the furnaces inside the people he profiles and does an analysis of the fuel that fires their ambition. Whether it be Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods or Pat Riley or Urban Meyer, he strips the away the self-serving myths and fantasies to reveal his characters in full. There are fascinating common denominators: it may not be the case that every single great performer or coach had a complex relationship with his father, but it can sure seem that way. And there is much marvelous local knowledge: about specific sports, and times and places, and people. Ludicrously entertaining and often powerfully moving, The Cost of These Dreams is an ode to the reporter's art, and a celebration of true greatness and the high price that it exacts.
