Ghost Soldiers is the second novel in the epic new 'Mercenaries' series that chronicles the violent struggles of the sprawling Centauri Alliance.
The newly formed Interstellar Assault Brigade has been tested in secret, but their first official combat action will send a shockwave through the Alliance. A group of mercenaries and criminals have occupied part of Old Spascia City , the scene of some of the heaviest fighting in the Biomech War. They have heavily fortified the entire area, and beaten off numerous attempts by local forces to defeat them. With public attention focused on this impregnable fortress, the IAB arrives and assaults the position in broad daylight. Advanced dropships swoop in to release squads of robotic warriors known as 'Grunts'. As they engage the defenders, smaller numbers of large 'Maverick' bipedal combat suits blast fortifications apart with high-power plasma weaponry. It is a stunning debut that puts the brigade on the lips of every citizen.
On the opposite side of Alliance space is a deadly new threat, a massive spacecraft that is heading directly for the colonies of T'Karan. A heavily armed destroyer is diverted to intercept, and apparently lost with all hands in a matter of minutes. There is only one unit capable of performing a rescue operation in the limited time remaining. With just hours to spare, Spartan assembles the newly christened IAB for their deadliest mission yet. A journey across the stars to face this ancient vessel that dwarfs even a fully assembled warfleet. Waiting deep inside this vast derelict lies an alien intelligence, one that can be traced back to a civilisation long forgotten. What starts as a rescue operation quickly turns into a bloodbath, where every members of the unit is hunted by this new terrible enemy, that seeks no less than their utter annihilation.
Ghost Soldiers is a futuristic military sci-fi adventure that continues to expand the vast universe of the Star Crusades series that includes Star Crusades: Uprising and Star Crusades: Nexus. Essential and unmissable reading for enthusiasts of the Military sci-fi genre.

A bighearted book of wisdom, wit, and insight, celebrating the love and joy of being a grandmother, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and #1 New York Times bestselling author
It's a little challenging to suss out why exactly it can be so magical. . . . All I know is: The hand. The little hand that takes yours, small and soft as feathers. I'm happy our grandson does not yet have sophisticated language or a working knowledge of personal finance, because if he took my hand and said, "Nana, can you sign your 401(k) over to me," I can imagine myself thinking, well, I don't really need a retirement fund, do I? And besides, look at those eyelashes. Or the greeting. Sometimes Arthur sees me and yells "Nana!" in the way some people might say "ice cream!" and others say "shoe sale!" No one else has sounded that happy to see me in many many years.
Before blogs even existed, Anna Quindlen became a go-to writer on the joys and challenges of family,...

<section class="overview"> Lucas Davenport tracks a prolific serial killer in the newest nail-biter by #1 New York Times-bestselling author John Sandford.
Clayton Deese looks like a small-time criminal, muscle for hire when his loan shark boss needs to teach someone a lesson. Now, seven months after a job that went south and landed him in jail, Deese has skipped out on bail, and the U.S. Marshals come looking for him. They don't much care about a low-level guy-it's his boss they want-but Deese might be their best chance to bring down the whole operation.
Then, they step onto a dirt trail behind Deese's rural Louisiana cabin and find a jungle full of graves.
Now Lucas Davenport is on the trail of a serial killer who has been operating for years without notice. His quarry is ruthless, and-as Davenport will come to find-full of surprises . . .

As dusk approaches, a former surgeon goes about closing up his dilapidated clinic in rural India. His day, like all his days, has been long and hard. His medical supplies arrive late if at all, the electrics in the clinic threaten to burn out at any minute, and his overseer, a corrupt government official, blackmails and extorts him. It is thankless work, but the surgeon has long given up any hope of reward in this life.
That night, as the surgeon completes his paperwork, he is visited by a family - a teacher, his heavily pregnant wife and their young son. Victims of a senseless attack, they reveal to the surgeon wounds that they could not possibly have survived.
And so the surgeon finds himself faced with a preposterous task: to mend the wounds of the dead family before sunrise so that they may return to life. But this is not the only challenge laid before the surgeon, and as the night unfolds he realises his future is tied more closely to that of the dead family...

New York Times bestselling author and committed constitutionalconservative Senator Mike Lee reveals the little-known stories behind theFounder's takedown of a tyrannical king and the forgotten document thatcreated America.
There is perhaps no more powerful sentence in human history, written inPhiladelphia in the oppressively hot summer of 1776: "We hold these truths tobe self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed bytheir Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Despite the earth-shattering power of Jefferson's simple sentence and thedocument in which it is found, many Americans today don't understand orappreciate the Declaration's gravity. As a result, we have lost touch withmuch of what makes our country so special: the distinctly American belief inthe dignity of every human soul.
Our nation was born in an act of rebellion against an all-powerful government.In Our Lost Declaration , Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-knownstories of the offenses committed by the British crown against its ownsubjects. From London's attempts to shut down colonial legislatures to haulingJohn Hancock before a court without a jury, the abuses of a strong centralgovernment were felt far and wide. They spurred our Founders to risk theirlives in defense of their rights, and their efforts established a vision ofpolitical freedom that would change the course of history.
Lee shares new insights into the personalities who shaped that vision, suchas:
* Thomas Paine, a populist radical who nearly died making his voyagefrom Great Britain to the colonies before writing his revolutionary pamphlet,Common Sense.
Edmund Randolph, who defied his Loyalist family and served in theVirginia convention that voted for independence
** Thomas Jefferson, who persevered through a debilitating healthcrisis to pen the document that would officially begin the Americanexperiment.
Senator Lee makes vividly clear how many abuses of federal power today arerooted in neglect of the Declaration, including federal overreach thatcorrupts state legislatures, the judicial system, and even internationaltrade. By rediscovering the Declaration, we can remind our leaders inWashington D.C. that they serve us--not the other way around.

Detective Inspector Joanna Piercy investigates the disappearance of a young husband - and discovers all is not as it seems.
Jadon Glover is good-looking, professional, reliable and a perfect husband, according to his wife. So when he fails to return home one miserable March night, she rings the security officer, certain that something has happened to him. DI Joanna Piercy and DS Mike Korpanski are sceptical: there is no such thing as a perfect marriage. So what is the truth about Jadon?
As the investigation proceeds, it soon becomes apparent that Jadon Glover has been keeping dark secrets from his wife. And as the security officer pursue their house-to-house enquiries through the claustrophobic, jumbled streets of cramped Victorian terraces, they unearth other secrets from behind the net curtains. But, whatever else has been going on among the inhabitants' quiet, desperate lives, it's clear that at least one of them knows what really happened to Jadon.

Driven, courageous and unwaveringly loyal to her captain and crew, Nel Vaughn should have all the makings of a hero. Trained to fight, lead, and sail the ocean that is space, she should have been the best. But she doesn't want to be a hero and will run to the farthest reaches to avoid the responsibility. When her captain orders her to rescue a marooned survivor from a wrecked ship, Nel's first impulse is to get him off the Tantamount as quickly as possible.Wanting nothing to do with playing the hero, Nel can only struggle as others, both well meaning and devious, seek to draw her into an expanding conflict between the Alliance and a rebelling planet. Nel's past will come back to haunt her when she confronts a captain who once asked Nel to kill for her as Nel sails under a new captain who she might die for.
