Book Description
A HACKER ON THE RUN, CAUGHT BETWEEN AN OBSESSIVE MADMAN AND A LOVER WHO THINKS SHE’S DEAD. Hunted from both sides of the law, Jessa is a hacker in hiding in this intense, action-packed romance that ignites on the first page and never lets up. Once the secrets come out, not everyone will end up on the same side they started on. CODE NAME: PHOENIX I lost Jessa ten years ago, when her family was killed by a sadistic psycho. Her body was never found, and I vowed vengeance. Imagine my shock when my security team shows up to capture that same monster’s hacking team—and she comes to the door. It pales in comparison to the rage that consumes me when she chooses to run. I thought I lost her then. Now, I’ll never let her go. TARGET: JESSA I lost Jack when my family was murdered and I was forced into hiding. I searched for him for years only to be told he moved on and was living the perfect life with a new family while I fought to stay alive. Then he shows up, telling me everything I thought I knew about him was a lie, but this changes nothing. I’m still being hunted by someone I once trusted, and if I don’t recover the code I need, I’ll never be free. There’s only one problem: it’s hidden in the one place I can’t hack into, my own mind, and time is running out. *Contains language, violence, and the recollection of torture/ sexual assault (contained to one section of a chapter, not between main characters - full warning noted prior to prologue and in support of the plot). Code Name: Phoenix is the first book in a brand new, interconnected standalone series titled Cypher Black Ops Security (ex military / various law enforcement, now secret ops team members). Each book in the series is a standalone and can be read on its own. Some characters may appear in other stories in the series.

Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The Nebula Award–winning author “continues to dazzle us with brilliance in combining science, romance and adventure.” —Romantic Times MIT professor Megan O’Flannery is one of the world’s leading research scientists on artificial intelligence for androids. Most of her work consists of working with computer simulations, so when the company MindSim gives Megan an opportunity to work with an android, she jumps at the chance. Hidden and secret, an underground compound in the Nevada desert offers Megan a spectacular lab where she can live and work, mostly alone except for robotic assistants—and the android. Although it appears physically indistinguishable from a human man, Megan realizes she has a lot of work ahead if he is ever to think and act like a human, let alone the superspy that MindSim wants him to be. She loosens the controls on his behavior, allowing the android—who soon chooses the name Ander—the freedom of more independent thought. However, when Raj Sundaram, the reclusive genius of robotics, arrives at the compound to work with the android, Ander’s behavior takes a strange turn, causing Megan to distrust Raj. As Ander’s development spins out of control, he throws the project into chaos, going rogue even as he becomes stronger—and more dangerously human. “This novel is clearly science fiction first with a dynamic climax that will stun the unsuspecting audience who will fail to break The Phoenix Code before Ms. Asaro reveals the ending of this keeper.” —Painted Rock Reviews “Cinematic energy and the ease and confidence of a seasoned bestseller.” —SFReviews.net

A “thrilling” romantic suspense from a New York Times bestseller featuring a Navy SEAL sworn to protect a beautiful dog trainer and her canine charges (Publishers Weekly). Navy SEAL Wolfe Houston is on a mission of national security: protect one stubborn—but gorgeous—civilian in charge of training valuable government assets. But tracking down four genetically enhanced service dogs and guarding their furry backs 24/7 is going to take all of Wolfe’s tactical skills. The dogs’ unsuspecting trainer, Kit O’Halloran, doesn’t know that deadly mercenaries are determined to kidnap her charges. With hostiles to evade and bullets to dodge, there’s no time to waste—so why is Kit pressed against an adobe wall by moonlight, reveling in the hot magic of Wolfe’s slow, skillful hands? Wolfe is fascinated by Kit’s devotion to her puppies, especially Baby, the incorrigible runt of the litter. But two other trainers have died under strange circumstances—and a foreign government has just posted a staggering bounty for Kit’s capture. Before Wolfe can explore their white-hot attraction, the two are on the run, forced to decide which of their secret contacts is friend—and which is deadliest foe. Only Baby can lead them through the storm to safe haven in each other’s arms. Good dog! “Readers will enjoy the fast-paced, adventurous plot, and the wonderful dogs. The secret unit of men biologically enhanced for paranormal powers within the navy will appeal to fans of Christine Feehan’s Mind series.” —Booklist

Five years after this sleeper hit took on the world of IT and flipped it on it's head, the 5th Anniversary Edition of The Phoenix Project continues to guide IT in the DevOps revolution. In this newly updated and expanded edition of the bestselling The Phoenix Project, co-author Gene Kim includes a new afterword and a deeper delve into the Three Ways as described in The DevOps Handbook. Bill, an IT manager at Parts Unlimited, has been tasked with taking on a project critical to the future of the business, code named Phoenix Project. But the project is massively over budget and behind schedule. The CEO demands Bill must fix the mess in ninety days or else Bill's entire department will be outsourced. With the help of a prospective board member and his mysterious philosophy of The Three Ways, Bill starts to see that IT work has more in common with a manufacturing plant work than he ever imagined.

Pages : 382
Book Description
Don't accept the compromise between fast and beautiful: you can have it all. Phoenix creator Chris McCord, Elixir creator Jose Valim, and award-winning author Bruce Tate walk you through building an application that's fast and reliable. At every step, you'll learn from the Phoenix creators not just what to do, but why. Packed with insider insights, this definitive guide will be your constant companion in your journey from Phoenix novice to expert, as you build the next generation of web applications. Phoenix is the long-awaited web framework based on Elixir, the highly concurrent language that combines a beautiful syntax with rich metaprogramming. The authors, who developed the earliest production Phoenix applications, will show you how to create code that's easier to write, test, understand, and maintain. The best way to learn Phoenix is to code, and you'll get to attack some interesting problems. Start working with controllers, views, and templates within the first few pages. Build an in-memory repository, and then back it with an Ecto database layer. Learn to use change sets and constraints that keep readers informed and your database integrity intact. Craft your own interactive application based on the channels API for the real-time, high-performance applications that this ecosystem made famous. Write your own authentication components called plugs, and even learn to use the OTP layer for monitored, reliable services. Organize your code with umbrella projects so you can keep your applications modular and easy to maintain. This is a book by developers and for developers, and we know how to help you ramp up quickly. Any book can tell you what to do. When you've finished this one, you'll also know why to do it. What You Need: To work through this book, you will need a computer capable of running Erlang 17 or better, Elixir 1.1, or better, Phoenix 1.0 or better, and Ecto 1.0 or better. A rudimentary knowledge of Elixir is also highly recommended.

Category : History

Pages : 158
Book Description
This WWII history chronicles the remarkable engineering achievement that kept vital supplies flowing to Allied forces after D-Day. In the planning stages of the Normandy invasion, Allied strategists correctly anticipated that the Germans would deny, either by destruction or dogged defense, the vital Channel ports in the aftermath of D-Day. If the invading armies could not be kept resupplied, Operation Overlord would fail. The only solution was to design, build, transport and install two massive artificial harbors. Code Name Mulberry tells the story of this highly ambitious scheme from the initial planning stage to its successful execution on the field of battle. Told in clear, accessible prose, the historical narrative is amply supported with photographs, diagrams and tables, which vividly demonstrate the scale of this great venture.
