Book Synopsis He'd Rather Be Dead by : George Bellairs
Download or read book He'd Rather Be Dead written by George Bellairs and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mayor of a seaside town is murdered, and a London police detective must sort through motives both political and personal . . . Thanks to its mayor, Sir Gideon Ware, the quiet harbor town of Westcombe has turned into a crowded and rather garish seaside destination where visitors can come to escape the stress of wartime. When Ware collapses at a lavish luncheon, felled by strychnine, Inspector Littlejohn must travel from London to solve the seemingly inexplicable murder. Ware was surrounded by local bigwigs at his table—but that’s just the beginning of the suspect list, as Littlejohn untangles the rivalries, resentments, and corrupt dealings that permeate this picturesque but troubled community . . . Praise for the Inspector Littlejohn mysteries “Assured prose, well-drawn characters, and the atmosphere of 1940s wartime England . . . well worth the reader’s time.” —Publishers Weekly “Everything is quite comparable in tone to a really good Simenon.” —The New York Times “Dryly ceremonious wit [that] shines from the very first page.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: The sorceress of psychological suspense, Ninie Hammon, is back with a new stand-alone novel in the world of her deeply unsettling Nowhere, USA series. Desperate to get her life back on track, Brianna Haggarty has come home to Nower County to do one thing: make amends by building her grandmother a chicken coop to replace the one she burned down as a pot-smoking teenager. But when she arrives, her grandmother is gone. There’s absolutely nothing in her house — no furniture, not so much as a gum wrapper. The rest of the county’s residents have vanished, too. Dawson McCade is running for his life, hunted by assassins who would do anything to keep him from testifying. If he can just make it to the safe house in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky … But when he gets there, nobody’s home. They’ve vanished, along with everyone else. Cade forms an alliance with Brianna. He’ll help build her chicken house, she’ll keep him safe. And they'll both try to figure out what malevolent force could possibly snatch a whole county of people off the face of the earth. Then the killers show up. Can they survive attacks by trained assassins and find the vanished loved ones they've lost? ★★★★★ "I found this book captivating. I fell in love with the two main characters – Brianna Haggarty and Dawson McCade. They form a strange alliance as they both face demons from the past. I want to know more about these two young people and hope that Hammon brings them back in a sequel to this story. I hope it’s not just wishful thinking." -- Bonsterblack ★★★★★ "I’m really glad I found this author. Since reading Road to Nowhere I’ve picked up the rest of the series and The Last Safe Place, also great! This story was part Twilight Zone, part Stephen King (but less ghoulish). I can just hear Rod Serling narrating. A real page turner." -- Sherie ★★★★★ "Ninie has done it again!!! I fell in love with the characters Cade and Brianna from the first chapter. It just gets better and better as you read page after page as well as heart pounding things happening. It was so hard to put down. I absolutely hated the story to end. This is a book you don’t want to miss!! Write on Ninie can’t wait for your next book. Don’t make us wait to long." -- Cora A Myers ★★★★★ "I love Ninie Hammons characters. They become like friends and family. She has such a way with dialogue. I find myself laughing out loud." -- Lollipop Fans of Justified, Under The Dome, and LOST will love settling down to spend some time in Nowhere USA.

Now an arson investigator, she finds her strength and wits constantly tested, although sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. But she can’t always blame the men. After all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn’t the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she’s close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go.

Book Synopsis Foreign Policy and Security Strategy by : Martin Wight
Download or read book Foreign Policy and Security Strategy written by Martin Wight and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Policy and Security Strategy collects works by the late Professor Martin Wight (1913-1972), an historian and scholar of international relations. Wight conducted research on many topics, including British colonial history, European studies, international institutions, and the history of states-systems. He is nonetheless best known for his lectures about the political philosophy of international relations at the London School of Economics (1949-1961) and the University of Sussex (1961-1972). He is widely regarded as an intellectual ancestor and pathbreaker of the "English School" of international relations, even though this term only gained currency nine years after his death. The "English School" is usually construed as signifying an approach to the study of international relations more rooted in historical and humanistic learning than in the social sciences. Despite Wight's reputation as a scholar focused on historical and philosophical matters, he articulated noteworthy policy prescriptions in six domains: (a) the balance of power; (b) international order, notably regarding neutrality and nationalism; (c) nuclear weapons and international politics; (d) interests, honour, and prestige in statecraft; (e) disarmament and public opinion; and (f) the United Nations. These writings have been neglected, partly because his perfectionism led him to refrain from publishing many of them. However, as this new collection of his works (many previously unpublished) shows, he took distinctive positions on practical policy questions. He asked "Does Peace Take Care of Itself?" - as implied by Kantian principles - and concluded that it does not, and that purposeful action will therefore be necessary.
Book Synopsis Battling Angels by : Matthew Stafford

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What if?” Satan’s project to enslave humanity was born when that one little question was asked. If successful, bloodthirsty demons numbering in the millions will escape hell by possessing the bodies of humans, while those not possessed are doomed into slavery and forced to commit vile acts of depravity. Lilith, Satan’s emissary on earth, uses her beauty and insidious power to mesmerize and stimulate forbidden desires in men and women to ensure the success of Satan’s plan. God’s angels must tackle devastating odds as their newest angel, a twenty-year-old from North Carolina, trained by his heavenly mentor and lover, must survive many efforts to destroy him. Only then will his destiny be realized—that of becoming the most powerful Archangel ever—and working with his earthly companions to save humanity from Satan’s plan of domination. Will humanity’s lust for forbidden desires and the formidable powers of the horrific demons beat God’s own powerful and courageous Battling Angels?

A millennium in the future Elisia’s newest and youngest perfect finds an anomaly: a fifteenth century monk describes a most improbable holy relic which sounds suspiciously like a bra and pair of pants. Katya, her unusually aggressive guard, an even less appealing alien and sundry other handicaps set out to rescue Lauren. Time’s a funny thing. It doesn’t just pass. Sometimes it turns back and bites you on the bum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
