The plot revolves around Destiny Morgan and Nolan Chapman who meet and fall in love not knowing that they had met 15 years earlier. That night, Nolan''s wife was killed at the hand of one of the now world''s largest drug lords Santiago. Destiny, only 12 then, was held hostage by him the same night. Destiny was placed in the Witness Protection Program because she is the only person in America that can identify Santiago who now lives in Peru. Nolan is a professional baseball player who has worked undercover to assist the DEA in capturing 2 of the 3 drug pushers from that night. To get Santiago to America, a fake marriage was staged between Sonya, a superstar model and Nolan. Sonya befriends Santiago''s wife Monet, who is a clothes fanatic. Thru Drug Enforcement Agency undercover agents Santigo is gotten word of an alleged affair between Monet and Nolan. This infuriates Santiago enough to try to sneak into America. But Destiny, the DEA, and Nolan are waiting at the Port of New Orleans for him. A gun battle occurs and Santiago is shot. He falls off the ship into the Mississippi River. And the third man is out, it seems!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, would remain on the throne for the foreseeable future: This was the firm conclusion of a top-secret CIA analysis issued in October 1978. One hundred days later the shah--despite his massive military, fearsome security police, and superpower support was overthrown by a popular and largely peaceful revolution. But the CIA was not alone in its myopia, as Charles Kurzman reveals in this penetrating work; Iranians themselves, except for a tiny minority, considered a revolution inconceivable until it actually occurred. Revisiting the circumstances surrounding the fall of the shah, Kurzman offers rare insight into the nature and evolution of the Iranian revolution and into the ultimate unpredictability of protest movements in general. As one Iranian recalls, The future was up in the air. Through interviews and eyewitness accounts, declassified security documents and underground pamphlets, Kurzman documents the overwhelming sense of confusion that gripped pre-revolutionary Iran, and that characterizes major protest movements. His book provides a striking picture of the chaotic conditions under which Iranians acted, participating in protest only when they expected others to do so too, the process approaching critical mass in unforeseen and unforeseeable ways. Only when large numbers of Iranians began to think the unthinkable, in the words of the U.S. ambassador, did revolutionary expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy. A corrective to 20-20 hindsight, this book reveals shortcomings of analyses that make the Iranian revolution or any major protest movement seem inevitable in retrospect.

Book excerpt: This book covers the history of 'Big Ben', the great clock and bells at Westminster, from the origins of Westminster as the seat of government right up to the celebrations of the Great Clock's 150th anniversary in 2009. The book begins by taking the reader through a typical visit to the Clock Tower, and then begins the history of the palace of Westminster, covering the fire of 1834, the building of the New Houses of Parliament and development of the clock and the bells, going into detail on their design and installation. The book covers the famous cracking of the current bell Big Ben in 1859, with sketches of all the characters involved, the two world wars, and the disaster of 1976. The book ends with a detailed technical description of the clock mechanism. The book is richly illustrated, and will appeal not only to clockmakers and horologists, but to bell enthusiasts, and those with an interest in our rich Victorian heritage.

Book excerpt: The moment he opened his eyes, he became the cannon fodder in the book? Who said that she wouldn't beat him to death when she crossed worlds to eat, drink, and flirt with men! There was a male and female host eyeing him covetously, while there were also a few dregs that grinded their blades. She was done for! Opening a clinic, seizing the Hou Mansion, and torturing dregs. On the way, he would also help that group of super villains who were crippled and disfigured... At first, this villain was really difficult to deal with. A certain woman: "Prince, I feel that we can cooperate." A certain Savage King said, "Scram." A certain woman licked her face, "Prince, I think we should communicate a little more." A certain Savage King frowned, "Scram, there's no need." But then ... A certain woman angrily said, "You big liar!" What they said about losing power and disfigurement were all lies! The Savage King's eyes were full of affection for him. "Little Sing, This King was wrong."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of a young adventurer from Famagusta – Cyprus, who, after the capture of the city by the Ottoman Empire in 1571, began wandering the noble courtyards of Europe. With a borrowed name, gumption, courage, foresight, and a ring with a red tourmaline stone, he sweeps through the big European cities of the sixteenth century, disrupting the courtyards of the nobility, sharing hopes and promises claiming that he knows the way to reach the ‘soul of gold.’ That is to say, how to convert mercury into gold. With information drawn from various Venetian and German sources, the novel closely follows the path of the Cypriot charlatan alchemist, in tandem with other nobles, some being fiction. The heroes in the novel intersect with these nobles outlining the picture of post medieval Europe at a time.
