The Jefferson Allegiance by Bob Mayer has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 16 customer reviews. I received a note from the author saying this book would be free through October 10th.

Category: Military Fiction / Thriller

 

 

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

The 4th of July 1826. As Thomas Jefferson lies dying, he gives his part of his Jefferson Cipher to Edgar Allen Poe, with instructions to take the disks to West Point. In Massachusetts, John Adams entrusts his part of the Cipher to Colonel Thayer, the superintendent of the Military Academy. As Thayer rides away, Adams utters his final words: “Thomas Jefferson survives.”

In the present, Green Beret Paul Ducharme has been recalled from Afghanistan after the ‘accidental’ death of his best friend, the son of one of the Philosophers. While Ducharme is visiting his friend’s gravesite in Arlington, an old man is executed by a member from the Society of Cincinnati know as the Surgeon, who is seeking to gather all the pieces of the cipher. In a nearby restaurant, former CIA and now Curator at Monticello, Evie Tolliver, waits anxiously for her mentor to arrive, but he’s killed by the same assassin at the Zero Milestone. His heart and the Philosopher’s head are displayed as a grisly message on top of the stone, echoing Jefferson’s famous head-heart letter.

Ducharme and Tolliver, the unknowing heirs to become the next generation of caretakers of the Jefferson Allegiance, team up and must battle the Surgeon to assemble the Cipher and find the Jefferson Allegiance, a document that has kept the balance of power in the United States for over two centuries.

The story is a race back through history and the founding of the country.
This is the first book in a new series: The Presidential Thrillers, each novel based on a historical puzzle left behind by a President. The Kennedy Endeavor will be released in summer 2012.

THE FACTS:
The Society of the Cincinnati was founded in May of 1783. A leading member was Alexander Hamilton, and the first President of the Society was George Washington. Thomas Jefferson was not allowed membership. The Society of the Cincinnati is the oldest, continuous military society in North America. It has its current headquarters at the Anderson House in downtown Washington, DC.

In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson, well known for his strong opposition to a standing army, established the United State Military Academy, the oldest Military Academy in North America. In 1819, Thomas Jefferson founded the University of Virginia, the first college in the United States to separate religion from education. It has its current headquarters in Philosophical Hall on Liberty Square in Philadelphia.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Thomas Jefferson 1787.

Christine Daaé, a beautiful child of eleven years, travels by bus from Chicago to Los Angeles with her widowed father, where he hopes to enroll her in The Belen Conservatory of Music as a scholarship student.

Twelve-year-old Raoul Chagny, strolling along the Santa Monica Pier with his governess, is enraptured by this beautiful young girl who sings with the voice of an angel.

An American Holocaust: The Story of Lataine’s Ring by Kerry Barger has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 22 customer reviews.
Category: Nonfiction / History

 

 

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

75 years ago on March 18, 1937 around 3:17 pm, one of the most modern public school buildings in America exploded in a rural Texas community decimating the student population and destroying innocent lives. Considered the worst public school disaster in American history, controversial theories surrounding this tragedy are still debated to this day. The event sparked changes that soon reverberated around the world and continue to affect each of us in our homes, schools, businesses and places of worship.

“An American Holocaust” is a story that begins with the giving of a child’s Christmas gift in 1936. The explosion took place at the London School in New London, Texas in 1937. The story relays more than simple facts. It is a personal account of unprepared loss and shattered dreams, followed by unfathomable grief. It describes the feelings of those who died in their innocence and of those who witnessed horror and lived through the aftermath. An unresolved silence persisted for forty years among the entire community of scarred survivors. For those who spoke out, their stories have been told and re-told for three quarters of a century, but most people have never heard them.

Although the innocent still suffer from the ignorance and indifference of a few, especially those we should be able to trust with the lives and safety of our children, this is also a story of hope. Countless lives have been saved by bold actions that were taken in the wake of this unanticipated sacrifice of so many children who were literally consumed by fire. It was truly an American holocaust.

Those Who Dare by Phil Ward has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 24 customer reviews.

Category: Historical Fiction / Military Fiction

 

 

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

The first in a series of meticulously researched World War II novels about hit-and-run raids against Hitler’s war machine by British forces – under the command of a U.S. soldier – “Those Who Dare” is sure to appeal to avid military fiction fans. By May 1940, panzer divisions had decimated Belgium and reached Calais. Lieutenant John Randal of the U.S. 26th Cavalry Regiment volunteers his expertise to help slow their advance. What unfolds is a blend of military guerrilla tactics, suspense, humour, cultural and social commentary, and war buddy camaraderie – plus a little romance between the American GI and the widowed Lady Jane Seaborn. Along the way readers meet such colourful characters as Captain David Niven in MO-9 and Captain ‘Geronimo Joe’ McKoy with his Travelling Wild West Show and Shooting Emporium. The author – a decorated combat veteran – covers the details of war extensively, from the five points of contact of a parachute landing fall to descriptions of a British raider’s A-5 flinging ferries before the first 12-gauge shell casing hits the floor. As the novel ends, Major Randal’s men, fresh from Operation Tomcat in France, learn they will deploy via sea transport within 48 hours on their next mission. The second book, which is already written, tells that tale.

Cayenne Pepper Cures by Sharon Daniels has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 12 customer reviews.

Category: Advice and How-To

 

 

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:
Hats off to you! You’ve just plunged into a wealth of information that hardly any professional doctors have a clue about. Get ready to relish in the brilliance of the kitchen miracle that surgeons shun and doctors disgrace.

A sea of unknown, unrevealed information awaits you. This book will act as your guide, so that you will soon be able to harness the full power of cayenne – the herb I once took for granted, and the herb that I now owe my health.

Everyone out there seems to be promoting good health. Well, that’s great. Good health is something that needs to be promoted.

You need herbs, not drugs. You need nature, not synthetics. You need to use the proven, natural, side-affect-free healers that the earth is full of, not the clear, cold liquids that scientists processed through a test tube.

If I had the time, I’d drive from house to house, shaking people out of their beds and telling them to wake up to the miracles of cayenne. But I can’t, so I’ve got the next best thing.

This report, which I’ve been compiling for a while, is brimming with the fiery brilliance of cayenne and all that I’ve found out about it.

For example, cayenne has been known to cure 17 big diseases. It has been known to stop a heart attack in a matter of minutes. It can sharpen your vision better than the most powerful contact lenses available. It can expand your arteries like anything, giving the blood room to really flow and travel everywhere, from your arms (giving you strength) to your brain (giving you better brainpower). It can cure arthritis and much, much more.

If your heart can’t pump enough blood to a certain area, take cayenne pepper.

Because if you’re on prescription medications, you could take up to a year (or more!) to heal.
But if you take cayenne, you could cut it down to a month or two.

Did you know that if you take garlic in the right proportions, you can bring your blood pressure back to normal in three months?

Well, if you add cayenne, you could cut that down to three days.

Cayenne can unclog your kidneys and your sinuses, allow you to breathe freely and restore broken, bleeding gums to normal.

Cayenne, in short, is a kitchen miracle.

I owe my health to cayenne. I hope that by reading this report, you soon will too.

Long ago, Kaashifah the Fury, Chosen warrior of the Lord of War, fought a djinni to a stalemate in an ancient duel of souls. Three thousand years later, she and ‘Aqrab, the passionate djinni prince of the Fourth Lands, are still bound together, each waiting for the other to make that final, killing blow. To complicate matters, they are being hunted across the vast Alaskan wilderness by a team of holy soldiers who are specially trained—and highly successful—at capturing the numerous magical beings of the Five Realms. In order to save their friends from the Inquisition, some compromises must be made…and some boons given. But in unraveling the magics that bind them, will these two ancient immortals learn to trust each other, or will their own thawing hearts be their undoing?

ALASKAN FURY is a whirlwind tale of two immortals woven together by a three-thousand-year-old curse who are forced to flee across the Alaskan wilderness in search of dragons to save their friends.

Favorite Family Lectures: Secrets of Life Every Teen Wants to Know by Terry L. Paulson has received a perfect 5 out of 5 stars based on 14 customer reviews. I received a note from the author saying this is the last day for this book to be free.

Category: Advice and How-To

 

 

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

As a young adult, Dr. Paulson was a youth director working with teens. He learned quickly that if you’re not funny and authentic, teenagers will kill you! Luckily, he found a way to leverage his entertaining delivery, inspiring messages and empowering content that has connected with all ages. As a young psychologist, he conducted weekend seminars for UCLA Extension on Dealing with Difficult Children. As co-founder of the Assertion Training Institute, he conducted hundreds of CEU training programs for teachers on implementing Assertive Discipline in the classroom. Then, as a parent, he eventually had to deal with his own teenage son; word has it that both survived, even thrived.

As his son Sean went through his teen years, his father and he co-authored two books, Secrets of Life Every Teen Needs to Know and Can I Have the Keys to the Car? On writing these books, they surveyed teens and parents on the life lessons that were most important. Sean wanted to call the book, Favorite Family Lectures. As Sean used to say, “It’s the perfect book for parents. They don’t know how to give an effective lecture, and they don’t have time to do so. They’re working too hard. With this book of ‘best lectures,’ all they would have to do is hand them the book, send them to their room, and tell them to read #23! They’d save time, and the teen would have something to do while he’s stuck in his room!”

Lost Girls by Bob Mayer has received an average user rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on 14 customer reviews. I received a note from the author this book would be free through August 4th.

Category: Military Fiction

 

 

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

This terrific follow-up to Bodyguard of Lies continues to track the Cellar, a government organization whose task is to police rogue agents in the CIA, FBI and other U.S. bureaus. Maj. Jack Gant is called in from his South Carolina island home to oversee an investigation involving the abduction of Emily Cranston, daughter of Fort Bragg Special Warfare Center commander Col. Samuel Cranston. The motive for the abduction is revenge, and the perpetrators have been highly trained in how to carry it out—by the U.S. government. As related crimes pile up, Mayer delivers top-notch action and adventure, creating a full cast of lethal operatives armed with all the latest weaponry. Excellent writing and well-drawn, appealing characters help make this another taut, crackling read from Mayer. (Aug.)

Considered for option by Smokehouse, George Clooney’s production company.

Who polices the world of covert operations? Enter the Cellar, the most secret spy organization hiding deep within the United States.

Deep in the forests of Kentucky, a girl is held captive.

In Oklahoma, a young preschool teacher is murdered in front of her students.

In the Panhandle of Florida, a college undergrad is kidnapped from a nightclub.

These seemingly unrelated crimes catch the eye of the Cellar, the ultrasecret cell of operatives set up to police all other government agencies. Cellar operatives Gant and Neeley, along with profiler Susan Golden, must track down those responsible. But these are not ordinary criminals. They are a highly trained Special Forces sniper team. Crisscrossing the United States as new Cellar head Hannah Masterson calls the shots from up high, the Cellar operatives soon find themselves being targeted. Whoever is behind this knows the ultra top-secret Cellar’s tactics all to well.

Underneath this web of death, deceit, and revenge lies an even more shocking crime . . . a conspiracy that powerful men will sacrifice their lives — and the lives of their families — to protect.

Phones, light typing…and murder.

Think breaking into show business is hard? Try landing a temp job without office skills. That’s the challenge facing aspiring actress Isobel Spice when she arrives in New York City, fresh out of college and deficient in PowerPoint. After being rejected by seven temp agencies for her lack of experience, Isobel sweet-talks recruiter James Cooke into letting her cover a last-minute vacancy at a bank. New to his own job, and recently sober, James takes a chance on Isobel, despite his suspicion that she’s a trouble-magnet. His misgivings are borne out by lunchtime, when she stumbles across a dead secretary in a bathroom stall. With her fingerprints on the murder weapon, Isobel sets out to prove her innocence by investigating the crime herself. While learning to juggle phone lines and auditions, she discovers an untapped talent for detective work—a qualification few other office temps, let alone actresses, can claim.

Hannah, a housewife, is equally lost after her husband simply disappears. They soon learn that the men in their lives shared a dangerous secret, one some very powerful people would shed blood to protect. Neeley and Hannah’s chance meeting sets a decades-old plan into motion and puts their lives at risk.

They couldn’t come from more different worlds, but as they try to escape the people who seem determined to kill them, Hannah and Neeley discover they have at least one thing in common: they’ve both been living a lie.

Crisscrossing the globe, the women find themselves in a deadly game of survival, one that they must win in order to keep the United States safe not only from vicious acts of terror, but from its own powers that be. And if they ever hope to uncover the truth about the lovers they thought they knew, Neeley and Hannah first must learn the truth about themselves. But when the Cellar is involved, there is no such thing as coincidence, and the truth is always protected by a Bodyguard of Lies.

Here is the book’s description from the Amazon website:

Once upon a time Duncan Sinclair aspired to being an author and wrote a draft of a book called ‘The Olive Branch’ that he had shown to his friend Bill – whose advice and criticisms he had mostly ignored – and sent out to various publishers and publications who were in some cases encouraging but in all cases rejecting.

To be honest, Duncan cannot remember that much of the book except he knows it was written around a belief he held at the time, towards the end of the Cold War, that Britain could be invaded by a combined Russian-Chinese force.

Of course, that never actually happened, but he also remembers it as having had some spectacular scenes of destruction, some stirring love scenes reflecting the vigorous and somewhat over-heated imagination of his youth, some exciting battle scenes as the resistance to the invasion kicked in, and some brutally realistic scenes of interrogation and torture. Yes, there might still be something worth preserving in that book, he thinks to himself.

But can ‘The Olive Branch’ be saved?

What really happens when we die?  Since the beginning of history, that knowledge has remained hidden from us.  This is not an accident.   It is a Conspiracy.  

Molly Reed is beginning to remember many things.  Secret things.  But she is running out of time.  From one lifetime to the next, a relentless enemy pursues her.  He will stop at nothing to keep her secrets from the rest of the world.  He has the scent once more.  The chase is on… again.

Long ago the King’s X was stolen from its makers.  The thief is hunted to this day.  There can be no rest, not even in death, because to carry the King’s X is to know a truth long hidden, forever outlawed, and all but forgotten… No one truly dies.  We all must come back, again and again.

Wendell Book is a young detective working the dark side of Hollywood. When Molly breaks into his apartment looking for his long-dead father, Book knows this runaway girl is different. Somehow, in ways neither of them can yet see, Book and Molly are connected. Now he must protect her from an Enemy he could never have imagined long enough for Molly to remember the rest of her story…  The “King’s X” is hidden somewhere in Los Angeles, right where she left it… long before she was even born.

King’s X is an unexpected Literary Thriller – blending the modern noir suspense of “The Maltese Falcon” with the epic adventure of a real-world “Lord of the Rings.” Recommended for readers who want fiction to be page-turning and smart at the same time. Try King’s X if you enjoy the rich characters and twisty plots of “Game of Thrones,” the fast pace and provocative mix of history and legend in “The DaVinci Code,” or the imaginative paranormal romance of “The Time Travelers Wife.” 
Contains mature themes, some violence, and ideas that some may find controversial.

He’s forced to fight off an amorous co-worker at the PR job he hates, only to have his wife discover his admirer’s panties in his pocket.

Now he’s dead, interrupted on his way to his heavenly reward by Eli, an elderly Rastafarian surfer who claims to be the Supreme Being.

Lawrence Whitaker and his sultry wife, Veronica, leaders of the sexually free-wheeling Church of the New Revelation, headquartered in America’s new Sin City, Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Jon’s quest is paralleled by that of Mako Nikura, reluctant heir to a weapons and aerospace fortune, who hopes to find the secret to his father’s death and its connection to the domestic terrorist organization SHAG.

Would you like to thank a soldier and help a military family? Read on!

The Last Jump is a war story, a mystery, a love tale, and a tribute to the people who won World War II. Fact and fiction intermix seamlessly to unravel a secret passionately guarded by four aging soldiers. The reader is transported back in time to an imperfect America, with all is incredible virtues and vexing shortcomings, struggling with racial and gender issues while fighting for its very survival. It was a time when Americans stood shoulder to shoulder to free the world from tyranny. It celebrates the spirit and courage of ordinary citizens pitted against the militaristic regimes of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. It was a time when the sons of presidents and senators served, fought, suffered and died alongside average Americans and famous celebrities.

J.P. Kilroy, a middle-aged divorced journalist, regrets ignoring his mother’s deathbed request. Even her last letter, which told of the existence of a mysterious family secret, did not motivate him to reconcile with the father who left them 30 years ago. When he receives an invitation from the White House to attend a Medal of Honor awards ceremony for African-Americans, he also discovers his estranged father recently passed away.
Was the secret now lost forever?

Kilroy also discovers that four aging veterans, the only links to the past, not only know the secret but swore an oath never to reveal it. They are the free-spirited Sky Johnson, a rough and tumble paratrooper, Frank West, the studious company commander, Harley Tidrick, Omaha Beach veteran and cousin of his father’s best wartime buddy, and Lincoln Abraham, the only living black honoree at the ceremony.

With the aid of Cynthia Powers, an alluring Army press liaison, Kilroy accepts the challenge to cajole the veterans into revealing the mystery. Their conversations take him back in time to a country in grave danger but a country as united as never before or since. But the old warriors stubbornly resist until the last one passes on and Kilroy’s hopes are dashed. But one reaches from beyond the grave to identify the only other person who has the answer and Kilroy races death to reach her. And a shocking conclusion awaits him, if only he can get there in time!

A portion of the proceeds are donated to assist families of the fallen.
