Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Even in the murky world of espionage there are rules. Tad Anders has broken them all. Too violent and too unpredictable, he let his feelings affect his ability to do his duty. The spymasters looked at his file, talked discreetly amongst themselves and quietly pensioned him off as too dangerous for regular use. But now the other side is breaking the rules: KGB-organised assassinations, the ruthless hunting down of defectors, kidnappings - in Vienna, Paris, Cologne and now London. A revenge operation is called for. An East Berlin abduction under the noses of the Russians, done by an agent who can be disowned if anything goes wrong... Tad Anders is needed again.

The Judas Factor
Author: Dwight Jones
Publisher: Charisma Media
ISBN: 1629985007
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Our national leaders want to normalize relations with the sworn enemies of Israel. For pastor and author Dwight Jones, this troubling development is a clear signal that America's longstanding friendship with the nation is hanging by a thread. Changes in our American foreign policy led the author to earnestly petition God for clarity and understanding. The words he received were horrifying: "As Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss and sold him to his enemies, so America will betray Israel and sell her to her enemies " What will happen if America plays the Judas card? Will this bring the wrath of God upon our land? Is there still time for a faithful remnant to emerge? Jones has written The Judas Factor as a prophetic word to America. Readers can follow the author as he treks through the events in the Scriptures, from the Last Supper, through the betrayal of Christ. See what lies ahead for the church as we approach midnight in America.

The Messenger
Author: Karl Evanzz
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307805204
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 706
Book Description
Here, eagerly anticipated, is the definitive biography of Elijah Muhammad (né Elija Poole), a sharecropper's son with a fourth- grade education who became one of the most controversial Americans of the twentieth century, the founder and "Prophet" of the Nation of Islam, a movement dedicated to black separatism and self-empowerment. Though Muhammad's main argument--that white people were innately evil ("devils," he called them)--ran counter to the precepts of orthodox Islam, he was the chief influence in the conversion of nearly four million African Americans to Islam, touching in the process the lives of figures ranging from Muhammad Ali and Jesse Jackson to Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. But in his desperate grasp for power, Muhammad also amassed a huge personal fortune at the expense of his followers. He was a party to ritualistic homicides, had illicit affairs galore, and was quick to betray his friends and charges, most notably Malcolm X. In brief, he violated every ideal and principle that he espoused. With the cooperation of some of Elijah Muhammad's children and former apostles and with access to previously unreleased FBI files, Karl Evanzz gives us an unprecedented account of the life of the man whose philosophy continues, long after his death, to shape race relations in America.

Heavy Duty

Publisher: Da Capo Press

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Get a backstage pass and see Judas Priest like you’ve never seen them before in this electrifying memoir by the band’s cofounder and former lead guitarist. Judas Priest formed in the industrial city of Birmingham, England, in 1969. With its distinctive twin-guitar sound, studs-and-leather image, and international sales of over 50 million records, Judas Priest became the archetypal heavy metal band in the 1980s. Iconic tracks like "Breaking the Law," "Living after Midnight," and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" helped the band achieve extraordinary success, but no one from the band has stepped out to tell their or the band's story until now. As the band approaches its golden anniversary, fans will at last be able to delve backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and haunting stories that surround the heavy metal institution. In Heavy Duty, guitarist K.K. Downing discusses the complex personality conflicts, the business screw-ups, the acrimonious relationship with fellow heavy metal band Iron Maiden, as well as how Judas Priest found itself at the epicenter of a storm of parental outrage that targeted heavy metal in the '80s. He also describes his role in cementing the band's trademark black leather and studs image that would not only become synonymous with the entire genre, but would also give singer Rob Halford a viable outlet by which to express his sexuality. Lastly, he recounts the life-changing moment when he looked at his bandmates on stage during a 2009 concert and thought, "This is the last show." Whatever the topic, whoever's involved, K.K. doesn't hold back.
