The Ryzhkov Vendetta

About The Ryzhkov Vendetta:

Alexander Leonidovich Ryzhkov, a Russian oligarch and former general in the Russian Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU), runs a covert operation in the Middle East on behalf of his best friend, the prime minister of Russia. Ryzhkov supplies Saudi terrorists with four Russian-made nuclear suitcase bombs and a list of two US cities to target. A CIA operation thwarts the planned attack and kills many Russian operatives, including his brother Sergei Ryzhkov. The oligarch is out for revenge.
Ryzhkov approaches a former CIA station chief and offers him money in exchange for the CIA operatives’ names. Armed with this intelligence, he launched his vendetta, targeting the former CIA operatives Mark Ericksen, now CEO of EyeD4 Systems, his fiancé Kate McDonald, a banking consultant, and Lars Wahlberg, COO of EyeD4 Systems.
Can Ericksen and his former operatives avoid the assassins’ poisoning efforts and turn around the deadly game of hunter and prey?

Walking Away From Religion by Bradford Chase

About Walking Away From Religion by Bradford Chase:

This is a verbal picture of a journey for one man from his roots in the Southern Baptist world of Christianity and never feeling comfortable to waking up after many years of personal struggle to the understanding of being a Spiritual Being, and no longer conformed to the dogma that organized religion promotes. It offers a candid look at the importance of an open mind and taking personal responsibility for who we are. It provides emotional advice anyone can use to improve who they are. It does not disparage anyone or any religion, instead, it helps bring clarity to why we each believe what we do. It encourages the reader to come to their own conclusions in a clear and positive manner.

ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth

About ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth:

Rosco McGlashan is a legend of Australian motorsport and drag racing. He is also the current Australian land speed record holder. His early years were tough. He spent time in state-run homes and remand centres, eventually leaving home and school at 12. He then drives up north in Western Australia to find work, increasing his age from 12 to 16, to fund his racing career.

He fought everyone and everything and, at 17, ended up in prison and even solitary confinement. Once released, his salvation comes through his love of speed and raw horsepower. He focuses his fighting spirit and energy on racing and going very fast.

His V8 drag bike and jet dragsters take him from Perth and WA all over Australia, New Zealand and the USA. He meets some incredible people, leading to some amazing adventures and tales that will leave you speechless.

Later, his motorsport career and quest for speed took him to other countries. He gets kidnapped by the Russian Mafia when trying to buy two MIG jet fighter engines and fights his way out. He crashes a car at nearly 600 mph. He also clinically dies on an operating table when another car he was racing went off a mountain road in driving rain. He was revived and went on to break many motor racing and land speed records.

He meets mass murderers and world leaders, then casually chats with the Dalai Lama. Eventually, Rosco turned his attention to breaking the Australian and world land speed records, a goal he set himself at age 12. In 1994 he beat Donald Campbell’s Australian land speed record.

You won’t be able to put “ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth” down. This book is an incredibly inspiring, moving and motivational true story of guts, grit, and determination. Quitting is not in this man’s vocabulary.

The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time

About The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time:

“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.

The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.

The American Unity Plan by Alan Nager

About The American Unity Plan by Alan Nager:

Can unity be achieved in America or are we too divided as a nation? Can American principles such as fairness, equality under the law, and reasonable accommodation be applied to many of America’s greatest needs?

America is looking for real solutions that are bold and can be supported by even the most ardent Conservatives and Progressives. Without a long-term plan to address the social safety net (retirement, healthcare, and education), immigration, climate defenses, taxation, inflation, and the federal budget, we will continue to devolve into separate Americas.

The current proposals by both political parties are incrementally making these problems worse putting future generations at risk. Rather, The American Unity Plan is a fully integrated, bold solution that can be supported by the American people. It is a uniquely American roadmap for long-term success incorporating ideas from across the political spectrum.

Get the Cheese: The Demotivational Road to Health, Wealth, and Real Happiness by Damian Andrews

” rel=”nofollow”>

About Get the Cheese: The Demotivational Road to Health, Wealth, and Real Happiness by Damian Andrews:

Everyone wishes to be happier, healthier, and wealthier. But, if everyone wants it so badly, why do so many people struggle to achieve it?

It takes more than knowledge to succeed. Action is not enough for long-term success.

The iPod’s success was not a fluke. Steve Jobs’ success is replicable. Dropbox founder Drew Houston, Pinnacle Group founder Nina Vaca, and others followed the formula. The success principles are seen in the Great Pyramids and the Apollo missions.

Get the Cheese author Damian Andrews takes you on an entertaining and witty out-of-the-box journey. From stories of cave dwellers to today’s great business leaders. You’ll learn that the secrets to health, wealth, and happiness already exist within you, and learn how to let them out.

As Shakespeare said, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

Book Excerpts
What really inspired the iPod?
“Giving up, Steven sighed and looked across the room. The latest ‘Gift from Bill’ mocked him from the coffee table. Someone thought it was funny to set it up in his office. It was an ugly industrial-looking box with an even uglier-looking screen box on top. Steven whispered, “Oh, you know, there are 114,000 known viruses for that thing. Time to think different for the cure.”
In a flash, the music player hurtled across the room in a graceful arch. It smashed into the screen. First imploding, and then shards of glass sprawling across the coffee table. As the last of the glass came to rest, a small wisp of smoke exited the top of the broken screen. With grace, it circled and then dissipated, leaving an ozone/phosphor aroma in the air. It was a picture-perfect moment. “If only my phone had a camera to immortalise the moment,” Steven thought.”

Apple’s iPod Success
“Often, the first movers are mistaken for trailblazers in the grand annals of innovation. This misconception is far from the truth. Most figures lauded as pioneers were not the first. Their difference was that they made the innovation work.
Ford, Gates, Lucus, and Jobs created viable financial and cultural touch points. They did this using already-established concepts. Add to the list Coca-Cola, Sony Playstation, McDonald’s Happy Meal, Amazon Kindle, Tesla Model 3, Google Search, and many more. Despite their late entry, they all became more than a product. They transformed into icons of the world in which we live.
In the same manner, the iPod wasn’t the first MP3 player. Yet its success and effect on the music industry are undeniable.
There is so much more than being first. The skill is in the flair, finesse, and foresight to perfect the concept. To make it both appealing and a commercial success. There are many examples of products that were not the first but became successful.”
