Book Description
With the threat of calling out the United States military to "dominate" US citizens in peaceful protest, Donald Trump has shown America his true autocratic tendencies and desire to rule this nation with an iron fist. For all those concerned with the safeguarding of our democracy you should read this book. “Trump: The Chosen One” explores the seduction of the Christian Right by Donald Trump preying on fears and prejudices to create false narratives and controversies, promoting an agenda of division, obfuscation and misdirection within our nation. This book shreds the moral and ethical reasoning of that large part of the Christian Right’s unwavering support for a president whose actions show disdain for moral standards. We explore the danger of allowing a fanatical religious ideology to weave its way into the fabric of our political system, threatening out democracy. We draw a connection through: the hypocrisy of the religious right. Income and wealth inequality, foreign policy, climate change and the systematic dismantling of political, judicial and governmental institutions. We rely on a foundational American principle to frame the first three years of the Trump administration to reveal how this president’s stance on global warming and steadfast support for fossil fuels places him in lockstep with Vladimir Putin and other tyrannical leaders. This book questions Trump's appeal to people of faith who should be alarmed at the president’ lack of a moral compass; as well as civic-minded republicans who no longer recognize today’s GOP; It is an alarm to all those who are concerned with the preservation of our democracy who are concerned with: our environment, the relationship between faith and politics, Constitutional history, economic and tax policy.

WELCOME TO HELL The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the Conglomerate’s most dangerous criminals are confined for life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid. Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen, inmate Dresdemona “Dred” Devos controls one of Perdition’s six territories, bordered on both sides by would-be kings eager to challenge her claim.

"FRIEND, YOU'RE TALKING TO A GUY WITH A PRICE ON HIS HEAD AND THE POLICE AT HIS BACK..." Compared to the $40 million the cops think he stole, $75,000 may not sound like much. But it's all the money in the world to the struggling Cuban exiles of Miami who rescued Morgan the Raider. So when it's snatched by a man the Cubans trusted, Morgan sets out to get it back. A simple favor but as the bodies pile up -- dead men and beautiful women-- the Raider wonders what kind of Latin hell he's gotten himself into, and just who or what is the mysterious Consummata? Begun by mystery master Mickey Spillane in the late 1960s and completed four decades later by his friend Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition), The Consummata is the long-awaited follow-up to Spillane's bestseller The Delta Factor -- a breathtaking tale of treachery, sensuality, and violence, showcasing two giants of crime fiction at their pulse-pounding, two-fisted best.

Book Description
From the greatest western writers of the 21st century, William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, the first in a brand new series featuring one of the most unique heroes of the lawless West—a mysterious man in black who rides from town to town, delivering the word of God and hard-fought justice…his way. MEET TAYLOR CALLAHAN, TRAVELING PREACHER. In his younger days, Taylor Callahan didn’t know right from wrong—and didn’t much care either. As a Confederate bushwhacker, renegade outlaw, and all-around hellraiser, he gave the devil himself a run for his money. Most folks figured Taylor would end up swinging from a noose or shot dead in poker game. But somewhere along the road to perdition, he decided to change his wicked ways. To atone for his sins. And to fight the good fight—against the evil that men do… So he became a traveling preacher. But Taylor Callahan is no ordinary preacher. He rides the western circuit looking to help lost souls. But his mission of peace takes a violent turn when he enters the godforsaken town of Falstaff, Texas. Better known to locals as “False Hope,” this one-time paradise has become a purgatory for homesteaders—thanks to a greedy rancher, corrupt mayor, and notorious confidence man. Even so, Callahan vows to keep his Colt .45 in his saddle bag. But when these lowlife devils pull out sticks of dynamite, a man has to do what a man has to do—before the whole town is blown to kingdom come…
