Book Description
Description—Dogs of War “Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war.” —William Shakespeare, Act 3, Scene 1, Julius Caesar They’re here. In America. Thousands of Islamic terrorists committed to a rabid jihad that ends only when they’ve butchered the last man, woman, and child. Worst of all, they have nukes. The Day of Jihad is at hand. The odds of Western civilization being snuffed out grow stronger each day. Compounding the threat, the Chinese are solidifying their grasp throughout Asia, while behind the scenes they sponsor the Islamic terrorists. Once an ineffective and weakening America crumbles, the Chinese are ready to extend their dominion over the entire planet. The Russian president is strengthening his grip on Europe and in the Middle East. Cyberwarfare is ramping up from Beijing to Moscow to Pyongyang to Tehran. And AGU—the Alliance for Global Unity is orchestrating it all. Only the shadow government known as the Society of Adam Smith, or SAS, may be capable of dealing with this threat. And it desperately needs the skills possessed only by that deadliest of hunter-killer teams, the Sleeping Dogs, including their newest member, an Australian. With his rogue brother, the monstrous Maksym, intent on killing his family, can Brendan Whelan reunite the Dogs in time? Heart pounding, non-stop action pulls the reader around the globe from one crisis spot to the next as Western civilization faces its worst onslaught in history. Description—A Deadlier Breed “Maybe Homo sapiens isn’t the final step in human evolution.” The Chinese believe world domination is their destiny. To cripple the West, they’ve armed Islamic terrorists with tactical nuclear weapons. One already has been used to destroy the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the surrounding town. The terrorists have moved the remaining weapons to a point just across the border in Mexico and plan to smuggle them into major American cities within days. To avoid the widespread panic that public knowledge of the situation would cause, the president of the United States turns to a secretive paramilitary group known as the Sleeping Dogs. Its members share a rare genetic attribute that makes them the world’s deadliest hunter-killer black ops team. They also are highly dysfunctional. Their leader, Brendan Whelan, has a marital crisis on his hands. Their handler, Cliff Levell, is being held incommunicado in jail for contempt of a grand jury. And a traitor within the administration is leaking vital security information to a treacherous entity supporting the terrorists. Compounding the threat, that entity has recruited a group of killers with the same rare genetic attribute as the members of the Sleeping Dogs. Their purpose is to eliminate the Dogs. Time is critical and Whelan and the Sleeping Dogs face their most dangerous challenge yet.

The Great Cat & Dog Massacre
Author: Hilda Kean
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022631846X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The tragedies of World War II are well known. But at least one has been forgotten: in September 1939, four hundred thousand cats and dogs were massacred in Britain. The government, vets, and animal charities all advised against this killing. So why would thousands of British citizens line up to voluntarily euthanize household pets? In The Great Cat and Dog Massacre, Hilda Kean unearths the history, piecing together the compelling story of the life—and death—of Britain’s wartime animal companions. She explains that fear of imminent Nazi bombing and the desire to do something to prepare for war led Britons to sew blackout curtains, dig up flower beds for vegetable patches, send their children away to the countryside—and kill the family pet, in theory sparing them the suffering of a bombing raid. Kean’s narrative is gripping, unfolding through stories of shared experiences of bombing, food restrictions, sheltering, and mutual support. Soon pets became key to the war effort, providing emotional assistance and helping people to survive—a contribution for which the animals gained government recognition. Drawing extensively on new research from animal charities, state archives, diaries, and family stories, Kean does more than tell a virtually forgotten story. She complicates our understanding of World War II as a “good war” fought by a nation of “good” people. Accessibly written and generously illustrated, Kean’s account of this forgotten aspect of British history moves animals to center stage—forcing us to rethink our assumptions about ourselves and the animals with whom we share our homes.
