Book excerpt: The most dangerous elements of today's world-international terrorism, geopolitics, diplomatic intrigue, secret nuclear weapons, and a global oil crisis-are stirred into a brew that threatens global peace and security. A shadowy terrorist mastermind conceives a plot to reshape and dominate the Middle East. His weapons are subtle deception and shocking violence. As his plan unfolds, he launches ruthless terror strikes against hapless civilians with surgical precision, exploits cancerous diplomatic tensions between Europe and America, and manipulates a gullible global media. Who can find him-let alone stop him-before it is too late? Israeli intelligence agent Moshe Bechman and Major Maria Menendez of the United States Marine Corp are drawn together as they unveil the plot, pursuing leads from Afghanistan and Riyadh to Paris and Washington DC. But they are distracted from the crisis by internal demons and emotional entanglements. Will they be able to prevent the world from plunging into economic and diplomatic chaos?

Book excerpt: When P.I. Lena Jones's Pima Indian partner Jimmy Sisiwan is arrested in the remote northern Arizona town of Walapai Flats, Lena rushes to his aid. She finds a town up in arms over a new uranium mine located only ten miles from the magnificent Grand Canyon. Jimmy's sister-in-law, founder of Victims of Uranium Mining, has been murdered, and the opposing side is taking hits too. Then Ike Donohue, the mine's public relations flack, is found shot to death, casting suspicion on Jimmy and his entire family. Lena finds not only a community decimated by dangerous mining practices, but a connection to actor John Wayne and the mysterious deaths tied to the 1953 filming of The Conqueror. Now it's up to Lena to uncover the decades-old tragedy no one in Walapai Flats wants to discuss.

Book excerpt: Sand, Wind, and War records the work, travels and adventures of one of the last of the great British explorers, a man who served in both world wars and carved out a special niche in science through his studies of desert sands. Ralph Alger Bagnold was born in 1896 into a military family and educated as an engineer. Posted to Egypt in 1926, he was one of a group of officers who adapted Model T Fords to desert travel and in 1932 made the first east-west crossing—6,000 miles—of the Libyan desert. Bagnold established such a name for himself that in World War II he was again posted to Egypt where he founded and trained the Long Range Desert Group that was to confound the German and Italian armies. Bagnold’s fascination with the desert included curiosity over the formation of dunes, and beginning in 1935 he conducted wind tunnel experiments with sand that led to the book The Physics of Blown Sand and Desert Dunes. Eventually, he was to see his findings called on by NASA to interpret data on the sands of Mars. He devoted subsequent research to particle flow in fluids, and also served as a consultant to Middle Eastern governments concerned with the interference of sand flow in oil drilling. Sand, Wind, and War is the life story of a man who not only helped shape events in one part of the world but also contributed to our understanding of it. It is a significant benchmark not only in the history of science, but also in the annals of adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this refreshing collection, one of our best writers on desert places, Gary Paul Nabhan, challenges traditional notions of the desert. Beautiful, reflective, and at times humorous, Nabhan’s extended essay also called “The Nature of Desert Nature” reveals the complexity of what a desert is and can be. He passionately writes about what it is like to visit a desert and what living in a desert looks like when viewed through a new frame, turning age-old notions of the desert on their heads. Nabhan invites a prism of voices—friends, colleagues, and advisors from his more than four decades of study of deserts—to bring their own perspectives. Scientists, artists, desert contemplatives, poets, and writers bring the desert into view and investigate why these places compel us to walk through their sands and beneath their cacti and acacia. We observe the spines and spears, stings and songs of the desert anew. Unexpected. Surprising. Enchanting. Like the desert itself, each essay offers renewed vocabulary and thoughtful perceptions. The desert inspires wonder. Attending to history, culture, science, and spirit, The Nature of Desert Nature celebrates the bounty and the significance of desert places. Contributors Thomas M.

Book excerpt: Increasingly deadly and destructive attacks on the United States and her allies have grown in intensity and frequency in the past twenty-five years, ignored by successive administrations on both sides of the American political spectrum. But President JoAnne Rush has decided enough is enough, initiating action where it’s needed to stop a persistent threat and relying on Marine Corps Captain Katy Morgan to take the fight directly to the enemy. From her assignment as an intelligence officer supporting SEAL Team 3 in San Diego to the shores of Tripoli, Katy is unaware of the forces trying to stop her from accomplishing the mission, of hostages bought and sold by terrorists and dictators, and of the geopolitics in the Middle East. She is drawn into a world of deception and betrayal, where only her values as a Marine officer keep her focused on the objective: to stop a state sponsor of global terrorism. Who’s following her, and what do they want? Why was Katy selected for this mission, and what will she find when she gets there?
