Book excerpt: Agent Gregg Johnson is called upon by the Brotherhood to investigate strange killings. However, Gregg and his fellow agents are soon forced to fight several fronts on the criminal landscape. With the help of two of Greggs nemeses, the infamous drug czar Scorpion has unleashed a highly toxic drug that stretches the limits of the FBI and ADF. Greggs enemies, Fennemen and Heilman, are working with the Scorpion, but their goals differ. While the Scorpion hopes to keep control of his toxic drug, the other two men have been hired to find a manuscript and robe supposedly once belonging to the apostle Paul. Under orders from the Brotherhood, Gregg seeks this same artifact, which supposedly has healing powers. In an effort to thwart his opponents, Gregg leaves on a quest to Europe, where the Scorpion threatens his life more than once. Gregg eventually winds up in Spain, searching the catacombs of a cathedral. However, he soon learns the Scorpion has not only issued a bounty on his head but on his loved ones, as well. He remains steadfast in his mission, putting his faith in God, because the only way to save the people he loves is to find the lost artifact in time.

Book Synopsis Passion killers: The art of passion killing in the age of stress and anxiety by : Phillip Walden Bowen
Download or read book Passion killers: The art of passion killing in the age of stress and anxiety written by Phillip Walden Bowen and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is growing pressure and stress placed on organisations to fight for customers and service/product placement in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. It has, therefore, never been more important to get the best out of the workforce. To achieve this, the role of the leader can be a fundamental factor in organisational success or failure. Leaders need to have the requisite skills to reflect the demands placed upon them in the 21st century. There are the “accidental managers” who just drop into the role of leadership and others who may develop skills and knowledge in readiness for a leadership role. There are also those who may have the innate ability to lead. Within the mix are those who are characterised by traits associated with the “dark triad” or who may use “pathocratic influence” on others to conform, reinforcing values (or lack of values) associated with toxic leadership. They create damage and harm. They become “passion killers”. The result can lead to a “pathocracy”. This book discusses the role emotional intelligence plays in helping people deal with stressful and challenging experiences, suggesting different ways to cope. The author reflects on the values that are integral to the success or failure of an organisation. “Passion” is identified as an added value that can differentiate one organisation from another. If passion is harmed, it can affect motivation, creativity, output, performance, and productivity. Therefore, this book provides the reader with examples of “passion killing” while making suggestions as to factors that can be adopted to engage and encourage passion. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made to support those faced with “passion killers”. This book is aimed at those of all ages and educational backgrounds interested in developing their leadership knowledge and skills. It is also aimed at those interested in learning more about differences in personality, emotional intelligence, stress, coping, values, and the importance of understanding the impact of “passion killers”.

Download or read book Scorpion written by Louise M. Pryke and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No creature has quite the sting in our mythology and folklore as the scorpion. From the dawn of human civilization they have been a dangerous figure in our imaginations—poisonous, precise, and deadly quiet—but as Louise M. Pryke shows in this book, their bad reputation has overshadowed many exceptional qualities. Scurrying across hundreds of millions of years and across every continent except Antarctica, this book gives the scorpion its due as one of nature’s longest lasting survivors. Indeed scorpions are older than dinosaurs. An ancient arthropod, their form—notable for its pair of pincers and an elegant tail that holds a menacing stinger high in the air in a permanent striking position—hasn’t changed since prehistoric times, though today there are some 1700 different species. Throughout our existence scorpions have served as a powerful cultural and religious symbol—sometimes dangerous, sometimes protecting—from the Egyptian goddess Serket to Zodiac astrology to folk medicine. A fascinating tour that takes us from the art of North Africa to the American Civil War to the markets of Beijing, Scorpion is an homage to one of earth’s oldest residents.

Long has plenty he’d rather be doing than investigating an old friend on a brand new murder charge. But just as he’s leaving for a visit to a pretty little Santa Fe senorita, a case comes up that he can’t turn down. It seems his mentor, Jesse Jerome, is under suspicion for the Scorpion Murders—a series of creepy crawly killings over in Agate, Arizona. The killer does the dirty deed by planting some particularly venomous little varmints in the victim’s bed—where they do their lethal work most effectively. Longarm hates the idea of snooping around in his old pal’s business, but he figures he’s lawman enough to either prove Jesse innocent, or put him away if necessary. What the Marshal doesn’t figure on is all the bad blood flowing through Agate’s citizens. There’s poison in that town, all right—and it’s not just from the scorpions….

As Tilsdale weaves his way through the Washington bureaucracy to head off a massive Al-Qaeda attack, his sharply etched character begins to evolve in sinister ways, revealing a dark and ruthless side of his personality. Tilsdale plots and schemes to protect the United States, often from itself. His unorthodox alliance with the two most influential women in Washington—a romantic triangle with treacherous implications—becomes a struggle for control of the nation’s Special Operations and clandestine services, exposing layer upon layer of personal agendas and an insatiable pursuit of power. In a final cataclysm of violence and duplicity, Tilsdale’s character emerges as a flawed hero who will kill without remorse in order to achieve his secretive goals, aided by a beautiful, powerful woman who is irresistibly drawn to his strength.

Book excerpt: “An exceptional, fast-paced thriller featuring a tech-empowered assassin whose pattern and objective you’ve never seen before, chased by a heroine with tenacious grit.”—David Brin, author of The Postman and Existence Quinn Mitchell is a nine-to-five spy—an intelligence analyst for the CIA during the day, and a suburban wife and mother on evenings and weekends. After her young daughter is killed in a tragic accident, sending her life into a tailspin, Quinn hopes to find a new start in her latest assignment: investigating a series of bizarre international assassinations whose victims have been found with numeric codes tattooed, burned, or carved into their flesh. As Quinn follows the killer’s trail across the globe, always one body behind, she begins uncovering disturbing connections between the murders—and herself. Every lead she tracks down in pursuit of the assassin brings Quinn one step closer to the Epoch Index, a mysterious encrypted message discovered in the archives of the Large Hadron Collider. Its origins are unknown and decrypting it is beyond even the CIA. Yet nothing else can possibly link together a slew of unsolvable murders, an enigmatic and sophisticated serial killer who always seems to be three steps ahead, a quirky young physics prodigy whose knowledge extends well beyond her years, and, underlying everything, the inescapable tragedy of Quinn’s own past. Discovering the meaning of the Epoch Index leads Quinn to a shocking twist that shatters everything she thought she knew about the past, the future, and the delicate balance of right and wrong that she must now fight to preserve.
