Book excerpt: It is the final months of the 2016 campaign for the United States presidency. There is no question that the world is on edge. Mitch is a British Special Air Service leader who is cautiously going about his life and business. He has good reason. After all, his daughter, Bella, has already been a victim of a kidnapping. But when he and several former SAS soldiers are summoned from around the world to attend an operative’s funeral, everything changes once again. It is not long before Mitch and his colleagues determine foul play in the death of their friend. Unfortunately, he is not the first SAS operative to die under bizarre circumstances. As Mitch leads the charge to investigate the mysterious death, their quest for the truth takes them from San Francisco to London, from Lithuania to Moscow and to Tangiers in Morocco where they must survive many challenges. But do they have what it takes to thwart the dark forces that lurk in the shadows and under a veil of Maskirovka? In this international political thriller, a group of British Special Forces soldiers become intertwined in a complex mystery involving a drug cartel, the CIA, the IRA, and the Russian mob while investigating a former colleague’s mysterious death.

Book excerpt: The unbelievable true story of an American Cold War scheme to detonate nuclear bombs in space is revealed in this military history exposé. The summer of 1958 was a nerve-racking time. The Soviet Union’s launch of Sputnik drew America into a game of nuclear one-upmanship. Tensions escalated between the two superpowers over their respective nuclear weapons reserves, both sides desperate for a solution to the imminent threat of massive destruction. In America, an outlandish yet ingenious idea was raised by the eccentric physicist Nicholas Christofilos: launching atomic bombs into outer space to fry incoming Soviet ICBMs with an artificial radiation belt. Known as Project Argus, this secret plan was the riskiest scientific experiment in history. In Burning the Sky, Mark Wolverton draws on recently declassified sources to tell this incredible, unknown story. Burning the Sky chronicles Christofilos’s unconventional idea from its inception to execution—when the so-called mad scientist persuaded the military to use the entire Earth’s atmosphere as a laboratory. A meticulously researched tale that reads like a sci-fi thriller, Burning the Sky will intrigue any lover of scientific or military history.

Book excerpt: The ARGUS shots were conducted to test the Christofilos theory, which argued that high-altitude nuclear detonations would create a radiation belt in the upper regions of the Earth's atmosphere. It was postulated that these belts of radiation (primarily high-energy electrons) might cause degradation of radio and radar transmissions, damage or destruction of the arming mechanisms of ICBM warheads, and endangerment of crews in orbiting space vehicles that might enter the belt.

Book excerpt: It has been several years since the author, Willy Mitchell, was in East Africa and visited a bar in Malindi, Kenya. He overheard the rumblings of a coup-in-the-making without any idea that one day in the future, a similar plan would be hatched. Now, years later, Mitch’s daughter, Bella, has followed in her father’s footsteps where he served in the British Special Air Service, and joined the CIA, where she has transformed into a rising star. Russian villain Dimitri Dankov has already sought revenge after a failed assassination attempt. Bella and the team of Mitch, Mac, Bob, and Sam, with Colonel Collins and Lord Beecham, discover that the leading Mexican drug cartels have partnered with Russian dark forces to take over Equatorial Guinea in an attempt to win influence in Africa and transform the cartel’s dirty money into good. Bella and Mitch lead the charge against the dark forces hidden under the veil of Maskirovka. But what can they do to change this course of events? In this tale of intrigue, money laundering at the highest level, and corruption, a rising CIA star, her father, and their team find themselves drawn into a complex plot involving greedy oil executives, drug cartels, and the Russian underworld from taking over an oil-rich African nation.

"Defense's Nuclear Agency, 1947-1997" traces the development of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP), and its descendant government organizations, from its original founding in 1947 to 1997. After the disestablishment of the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) in 1947, AFSWP was formed to provide military training in nuclear weapons' operations. Over the years, its sequential descendant organizations have been the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) from 1959 to 1971, the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) from 1971 to 1996, and the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) from 1996 to 1998. In 1998, DSWA, the On-Site Inspection Agency, the Defense Technology Security Administration, and selected elements of the Office of Secretary of Defense were combined to form the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child I was fascinated by the Apollo Moon missions. As I got older the fascination never waned, until, approximately 15 years ago, I happened to watch a documentary on one of the Apollo missions. In that they discussed the method used for circumnavigating the Moon during the missions. As a trained pilot I remember questioning that method of navigation and from there I started to doubt the validity of the Apollo Moon missions itself, which led to subsequent years of research. This book is culmination of that research and the reasons why I believe that the Apollo Moon missions were faked. Included in Part 1 of this series I discuss the following key factors:  The Saturn V rocket and the fraudulent claims on the powerful F-1 engines, without which the Apollo landings could not have taken place.  The non-existent capabilities of the Apollo guidance computer and the fact that this computer was a fake.  The conflicting and contradictory information regarding the radiation intensity between the Earth and Moon which would have prevented any manned lunar landing.  The inadequate shielding for both the Command Module and Lunar Module which would have ended any manned mission outside of Low Earth Orbit in a matter of minutes if not seconds.  And the incomplete, missing and/or destroyed documents along with the thousands of missing reels of telemetry tapes containing data that has been 'lost' forever

This book was released on 1989-02-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 18-year program of atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons (1945-1962), some of the 225,000 participants were exposed to radiation. Many of these participants have been experiencing sicknesses that may be test-related. Currently, test participants who had served in military units have pending over 6,000 claims for compensation at the Department of Veterans Affairs. This study presents improved methods for calculating the radiation doses to which these individuals were exposed, and are intended to be useful in the adjudication of their claims.
