Emergent Strategy
Author: adrienne maree brown
Publisher: AK Press
ISBN: 1849352615
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically. A resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction: a wild feminist and afro-futurist ride! adrienne maree brown, co-editor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, is a social justice facilitator, healer, and doula living in Detroit.

Pages : 408
Book Description
Sergeant James Douglas and his partner are investigating the murder of a security guard at the Laverty Farm Equiptment Company that occurred during an apparent robbery. As the investigation unfolds it is apparent the motive for this death is more than robbery. Soon the detectives have reason to believe that other murders may be related to the same killer and this might be only the beginning. The investigation takes them to Cincinnati, Ohio where another murder of an honorable man occurs soon after they arrive. The murderer, now classified as a serial killer, is on a rampage. He has a knack for tracking and terrorizing his victims before he moves in for the kill. He is able to conceal himself and at first appears to be a crazed psychopath, but this monster has the cunning and strength of a wild animal. It is up to Sergeant Douglas to find out what has set this beast loose and how to bring him to justice.

ISBN: 1664157662
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
A splendid rendition of the classic good versus evil adventure in which reality reveals that the good guys don’t always win. Chief Warrant Officer Zack Stone, a DIA and Special Ops Command asset, has been sent by the Central Intelligence Agency to Berlin, Germany, to assassinate the German minister of defense. The German Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) forces one of the flight attendants working the Washington, DC, to Berlin flight to drug Zack, rendering him ineffective at defending himself upon arrival. Zack and the U.S. Army attaché to Berlin are taken captive by agents of the Kommando Spezialkräfte and brought to Gen. Erik Kruger’s country home outside Berlin. Convinced by the general that he is being set up, Zack and the colonel teamed up to investigate and bring to an end the kill order against him. Along the way, Zack and Colonel Good are under constant attack, not only by the CIA but also by a group calling themselves the New Order of Nazis, led by Dieter Bayer, a close associate of the German chancellor. This group are hell-bent on taking over the government of Germany with Chancellor Deidre Dallenbach as their leader or eliminating her during the process. They hire a professional assassin from Argentina, grandson of a real Nazi during Hitler’s days, to kill Zack after he interfered and prevented an assassination of the chancellor. Schizophrenic psychopath Charles Mason, former CIA infiltration team member with Colonel Good and Zack’s father, Bart Stone, is dead set on taking out both Zack and the colonel. The two were instrumental in breaking up a lucrative scam by the chief of CIA’s Special Activities Division, the Berlin chief of station, and Mason, bilking the U.S. government out of millions of dollars. After former SOC asset Vince Carmichael leads a hit squad that assassinates Colonel Good and his wife, Maddy, in Berlin, a final showdown between former SEAL team members, led by Carmichael, and Zack’s adopted family takes place in southeast Colorado near Colonel Good’s Three Oaks Ranch.

Waterproof Justice

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
In its heyday, Basin Street was the Park Avenue of prostitution. In 1947, Minnie Tucker runs the last great sporting house in the French Quarter. Ruby Smith comes to New Orleans with a new husband and high hopes, only to find her marriage is a sham. She needs a job and a place to live and Minnie needs an honest bookkeeper, so she hires Ruby who easily manages both sets of Minnie’s books. Ruby is just settling into her new life when she sees Anthony Scapesi, son of Don Scapesi, head of the local Mafia, kill a man. As the only witness, Ruby knows she must leave town. She ends up in Waterproof, a backwater on the Mississippi where she thinks she can hide. True to her Choctaw heritage, Ruby is a woman of few words. However, she is drawn into small town life. Bitsy Verner, a self-appointed matchmaker wastes no time in introducing her to Sheriff Nate Houston, a widower. Nate has recently returned from WWII with a piece of shrapnel in his knee. He just wants peace and quiet to heal his mind and body. However, keeping peace in Waterproof isn’t easy. First there is Bud Garvey, the town troublemaker. Then there’s Luther. He is a permanent fixture in the sixth grade and no one expects him to amount to much. But when Nate hires him, we learn Luther has an uncommon ability to see straight to the heart of a problem. On the home front, Nate’s daughter, Carrie, is coping with becoming a teenager. And finally there’s Miss Laura, his mother-in-law who—like Bitsy—is vitally interested in Nate’s love life. Nate is attracted to Ruby but prefers to do things on his own terms. When Bud Garvey’s pickup is stolen, he insists that Nate arrest Arlan Walker although it’s clear the boy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Arlan refuses to identify his brother as the driver and the case ends up in court. In a fit of anger, Judge Swetman commandeers the trial and sentences Arlan to 15 years in Angola, the bloodiest maximum-security prison in America. A brutal killing at the prison prompts Arlan to escape during a hurricane. He is presumed dead and when Luther and Carrie find him, they persuade Nate to help the boy. In the meantime, Anthony Scapesi follows Ruby to Waterproof and attempts to silence her. Ruby returns to Minnie’s. In an effort to find her, Tony captures Luther and beats him severely. Tony demands an answer and finally Luther gives him one. However, rather than giving Tony what he wants, it turns out to be his undoing. With Arlan safe and Tony gone, Nate goes to New Orleans to meet Ruby at Minnie’s and arrives on the night Louis Armstrong comes back to Basin Street where he delivered coal to houses in The District when he was a boy. It is a night no one will ever forget.

Are you ready for “a non-stop, nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride!” and the book called “the best of the three in the series”? In the dead of night, in a well-hidden cabin in Georgia, assassins wake Sin from a dead sleep. No one should have been able to find them. But with the door crashing open, it’s too late to think about what went wrong. Sin is just fast enough to get away. Lee isn’t. Unable to find him, Sin will have to do something she’s never done before: ask for help. She turns to the two most likely to be able to help, Nick Stelian and former FBI Agent Owen Dunham. While Owen’s hands are tied, Annika Dunham’s aren’t. She speaks the language and can get Sin inside the Kurev organization. While Nick and Owen form an uneasy alliance, Sin and Annika attempt to gain access using everything they can to free Lee. Right and wrong have long since been obliterated. And one of Lee’s kidnappers looks far too familiar: someone Sin is convinced should be long dead. The ties between families and enemies have become intricately tangled. To save Lee, Sin will have to bend and break bonds she didn’t even know existed. She’ll have to do it all while protecting a new secret . . . Justice is the third and final book in the Vendetta Trifecta by USA Today bestselling author A.J. Scudiere. While it can be read as a standalone, if you haven’t read the other two, you’ll want to be sure you get the whole trifecta!
