Book excerpt: An ex-navy officer performs a daring sea rescue in this international thriller from “one of the best adventure writers today. A master storyteller.” (Clive Cussler, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Dirk Pitt adventure series) When Elizabeth Grayson stumbles upon confidential intel while doing medical research in China, her quiet life turns to terror. Imprisoned in a labor camp on an isolated island, the senator’s daughter struggles with her horrifying new knowledge that China is planning an attack against the United States. Worse, scientific advances in her own work may have helped make China’s powerful new weapon against America possible. Matt Connor’s location on a salvage boat in the Pacific Ocean may have landed him the lucrative job of rescuing a politician’s daughter from prison, but once the ex-navy officer has Elizabeth Grayson on his ship, he’s bound with her in a deadly game of survival. With the Chinese government determined to launch a weapon of mass destruction before their secret offensive is revealed, both Matt and Elizabeth’s lives are on the line—along with the fate of the American people. “. . . a thrilling novel of international intrigue . . . A tense and riveting adventure from cover to cover.” —Midwest Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the state of Christianity in China? Some scholars say that China is invulnerable to religion. In contrast, others say that past efforts of missionaries have failed, writing off those converted as nothing more than “rice Christians” or cynical souls who had frequented the missions for the benefits they provided. Some wonder if the Cultural Revolution extinguished any chances of Christianity in China. Rodney Stark and Xiuhua Wang offer a different perspective, arguing that Christianity is alive, well, and on the rise. Stark approaches the topic from an extensive research background in Christianity and Chinese history, and Wang provides an inside look at Christianity and its place in her home country of China. Both authors cover the history of religion in China, disproving older theories concerning the number of Christians and the kinds of Christians that have emerged in the past 155 years. Stark and Wang claim that when just considering the visible Christians—those not part of underground churches—thousands of Chinese are still converted to Christianity daily, and forty new churches are opening each week. A Star in the East draws on two major national surveys to sketch a close-up of religion in China. A reliable estimate is that by 2007 there were approximately 60 million Christians in China. If the current growth rate were to hold until 2030, there would be more Christians in China—about 295 million—than in any other nation. This trend has significant implications, not just for China but for the greater world order. It is probable that Chinese Christianity will splinter into denominations, likely leading to the same political, social, and economic ramifications seen in the West today. Whether you’re new to studying Christianity in China or whether this has been your area of interest for years, A Star in the East provides a reliable, thought-provoking, and engaging account of the resilience of the Christian faith in China and the implications it has for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red Star and the Crescent provides an in-depth and multi-disciplinary analysis of the evolving relationship between China and the Middle East. Despite its increasing importance, very few studies have examined this dynamic, deepening, and multi-faceted nexus. James Reardon- Anderson has sought to fill this critical gap. The volume examines the "big picture" of international relations, then zooms in on case studies and probes the underlying domestic factors on each side. Reardon- Anderson tackles topics as diverse as China's security strategy in the Middle East, its military relations with the states of the region, its role in the Iran nuclear negotiations, the Uyghur question, and the significance and consequences of the Silk Road strategy. A comprehensive study of the changing forces driving one of the world's most important strategic, economic and cultural relationships
