Book Description
Two Iraqi brothers, Adam and Dove, commence a plan of psychological terror against the world to avenge the slaughter of their mother and of Adam's wife and children. Although Adam believes his brother has the same agenda, he is unaware that the death of his family was actually due to his brother's involvement in a terrorist organization. Seven years of planning, their scheme commences with grand biblical flare at a local New York bar. Adam acts as a messenger from God delivering a dire warning: "The world has seven days to repent its sins and have faith in God, or the world will end!" Adam uses incredible magic to convince the crowd it is truly a divine message, then bestows the 177 patrons of the bar with the task of spreading the message as quickly as possible to stop the end. Their plan is timed to commence with reported major seismic activity, some fabricated by Adam's programming skills, and some forecasted by his seismic knowledge. Adam and Dove have financial backing from a major terror organization as well as from a rare, secret biblical artifact. The funds buy off key political and military figures, all in the hope of sparking a world war through escalating global tensions. Two FBI agents, one a rookie named Lobato and his senior partner Arena, are religious terror experts and quickly calculate Adam and Dove are terrorists. However the uncanny similarities between biblical prophecy and what was happening globally, makes them question reality. The separate lives and actions of three bar patrons are followed as they experience self-awareness and personal transformations. As chaos rolls around the globe, and religious wars heat up, lives are lost and cities burn. A reporter, and single mother, Sam, saves Adam from a brutal mob attack. The two grow close as he opens up and confesses to her. Having a change of heart and experiencing love for the first time since loosing his family, he asks Dove to stop the plan. Dove is furious and sees this as betrayal for the family they mourn. They become adversaries and Dove publically paints Adam as the terrorist while he builds a charismatic persona of a reformed terrorist turned peace advocate. What Adam does not know is that the American missile that he thinks hit their house in error, killing his family, was actually targeting Dove, who was a leader in the terrorist underworld. In an effort to stop the madness, Sam creates a global peace plan that will unite the world for five minutes of universal awareness and consciousness. The movement has more momentum and mass than expected. Dove is identified by SIGNIT (An N.S.A. supercomputer) as a major threat to US security and a hit is ordered to eliminate him. The hit, along with the peace movement is hoped to be enough to stop the world from entering a global conflict and end the grand scheme of terror.

The Nolan Variations
Author: Tom Shone
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0525655328
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
An in-depth look at Christopher Nolan, considered to be the most profound, commercially successful director at work today, written with his full cooperation. A rare, revelatory portrait, "as close as you're ever going to get to the Escher drawing that is Christopher Nolan's remarkable brain" (Sam Mendes). In chapters structured by themes and motifs ("Time"; "Chaos"; "Dreams"), Shone offers an unprecedented intimate view of the director. Shone explores Nolan's thoughts on his influences, his vision, his enigmatic childhood past--and his movies, from plots and emotion to identity and perception, including his latest blockbuster, the action-thriller/spy-fi Tenet ("Big, brashly beautiful, grandiosely enjoyable"--Variety). Filled with the director's never-before-seen photographs, storyboards, and scene sketches, here is Nolan on the evolution of his pictures, and the writers, artists, directors, and thinkers who have inspired and informed his films. "Fabulous: intelligent, illuminating, rigorous, and highly readable. The very model of what a filmmaking study should be. Essential reading for anyone who cares about Nolan or about film for that matter."--Neal Gabler, author of An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood and Walt Disney, The Biography

ISBN: 1916877400
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
Breaking the tenets of Special Forces means one thing. Death. Thorrn has his life mapped out – be the best swordsman in the king’s army and become Captain one day. What doesn’t fit in with his plans is some short, unimpressive waif claiming to be his soul companion, the platonic other half of his spirit. But when the king demands that he hand Evyn over, Thorrn is confronted with a choice: protect Evyn and keep her secret from the magical community who would drain her for the power resonating inside her, or turn her over to save his career, family name, and reputation. When a powerful mage moves against the kingdom, Thorrn and Evyn will have to summon all their courage and find allies from unexpected corners – including different worlds and times. For alongside the realms of Oberrot and Earth are the multiverses, and one of them should surely be able to help… A swordsman, an apothecarist, a shy librarian (“I’m beginning to think being underestimated is kind of my superpower”), and a powerful mage. Only they can save the kingdom. A page-turning new adventure awaits, from a fresh voice in fantasy. Contains twinned souls with a twist, enemies to inseparable friends, coming of age, learning to accept yourself and others, some epic swordfights, and a smattering of romance. “The plot is gripping, but it's a solid combination between a solid plot and a downright fabulous character development, as well as an absolutely beautiful narrative, that turns this debut into an addictive, practically unputdownable read.” - The Magic Book Corner “An action-packed adventure...The storyline is ambitious in its scope and really is one for fans of fantasy and science fiction, with multiple tropes all utilised to great effect as Thorrn and Evyn’s path unfolds.” - LoveBooks.co.uk “I found myself laughing and, at times, having tears in my eyes.” - Reedsy Discovery Reviewer “James has created a unique, new twist on soulmates that was refreshing and genius! James’ world building is exceptional as it sucks you right in and is executed perfectly.” - J.A. Culican, USA Today Bestselling Author

Book Description
The Church of the Righteous Truth stretches ever outward across Alytheia. Jealous defenders of the Goddess’s magic, the Church sees all, controls all: trade, military, the ancient arts of Wielding and Cognation—even life and death. Now, as the Church’s Premiero Irmao prepares to seize yet more power, the Goddess’s light fades darker still... But there is hope. Four forgotten outcasts—Al-Dreban, a young and disillusioned priest; Solatta, a healer haunted by her tragic past; Sentenza, an old colonel left for dead; and Braga, last survivor of his platoon—unknowingly hold the fate of Alytheia in their hands. As each stumbles deeper into a web of conspiracy and betrayal, their destinies will entwine, leading them inexorably toward revolution, sacrifice, and—perhaps—redemption.

A young man with forbidden magic finds himself drawn into an ancient war against a dangerous enemy in book one of the Licanius Trilogy, the series that fans are heralding as the next Wheel of Time. As destiny calls, a journey begins. It has been twenty years since the godlike Augurs were overthrown and killed. Now, those who once served them -- the Gifted -- are spared only because they have accepted the rebellion's Four Tenets, vastly limiting their powers. As a Gifted, Davian suffers the consequences of a war lost before he was even born. He and others like him are despised. But when Davian discovers he wields the forbidden power of the Augurs, he and his friends Wirr and Asha set into motion a chain of events that will change everything. To the west, a young man whose fate is intertwined with Davian's wakes up in the forest, covered in blood and with no memory of who he is. . .

The Licanius Trilogy is a series readers will have a hard time putting down -- a relentless coming-of-age epic from the very first page. "Storytelling assurance rare for a debut . . .
