1000 tulosta hakusanalla Sean P. Cunningham
An anarchist wants to quit his secretarial job. A gay man remembers his first heartbreak, a woman. A parti-boi tempts the impossible, stability. Often disturbing, sometimes achingly funny, heartbreaking, but hopeful, "Who is Sean" is a collection of short stories and a must read for those seeking the human experience from the perspective of those voiceless and outside the conventional radar.
From New York Times bestselling author, former Secretary of Defense, and US Senator William S. Cohen, the political, apocalyptic thriller Final Strike dramatizes one of the most terrifying global security nightmares: an asteroid hurtling towards Earth. Sixty million years ago, the K-T Asteroid obliterated the dinosaurs, and now its apocalyptic twin is rocketing toward the US on a similar mission of extermination. Russian President Boris Lebed, the charismatic successor to Vladimir Putin, wants to turn that asteroid into a superweapon to use against the US and is holding Hamilton hostage in Moscow until Hamilton agrees to help. Former Senator and National Security Advisor Sean Falcone leads a dangerous off-the-books operation to bring Hamilton home and derail Lebed's disastrous plan. But will Falcone succeed in time? The asteroid is hurtling toward earth. If it is not deflected, humanity will go the way of dinosaurs, and the entire planet will burn. Only one strategy has a chance of stopping humanity's extinction--only one. There is no Plan B. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
The Selected Essays of Sean O'Faolain

Sean O'Faolain (1900-1991) was Ireland's leading social and political critic in the period following the country's independence from the United Kingdom. Since his death, scholarly opinion has alternately cast him as an arch-revisionist, a liberal nationalist, and a frustrated republican. The Selected Essays of Sean O'Faolain reassesses his reputation by showing that he wrote in the tradition of post-Enlightenment European intellectuals, and that while he was a significant figure in Ireland, his work extends beyond immediate national concerns. This volume includes over fifty unabridged essays by O'Faolain on a wide range of subjects - from canonical writers to architecture, from religious scandals to economics, from nationalism to internationalism, from long-dead historical figures to recent controversies. O'Faolain's fearlessness in taking on the major political, cultural, and religious figures of his day, his masterly use of rhetoric, and his intellectual acuity have contributed to his works being quoted often by scholars working across several disciplines. Many of these essays appear here in print for the first time since they were published in the foremost periodicals of their day. An extensive introduction and helpful annotations contextualise and explain them for a new audience. In his re-readings of history and challenges to dominant historiographical trends, O'Faolain has become a pariah to some and a hero to others. The Selected Essays of Sean O'Faolain bridges some of these competing visions, presenting a more complex figure through his varied corpus of writing.

Someone has discovered a Nazi weapon of incredible power. And their intentions aren't good. In the final days of World War II, a mysterious German U-boat was seen by a United States naval vessel in the Atlantic Ocean, just north of South America. Before the ship could fire upon the sub, it vanished. History tells us that, after the war, the German high command scattered across world hoping to evade punishment for their crimes.What it doesn't tell us is what they took with them. Priceless paintings? Rare sculptures? Vast treasures?Many of these things have been discovered but there is one that remains hidden. It was one of the most well-hidden, secretive experiments the Nazis carried out during the war and now someone is trying to unearth it. If they succeed, it could bring civilization to its knees.
Could you sacrifice the lives of millions to save your daughter?When an archaeologist's daughter is abducted, he must help them find a powerful ancient relic to save her life but at the cost of millions of lives. Or is there another option? Enter Sean Wyatt. Thousands of years ago, Babylonian armies invaded Jerusalem. They ripped through the city, leaving a swath of destruction in their wake and taking almost everything Israel held sacred. Almost. Under the cover of darkness, the high priest dispatched two of his most trusted friends to the far reaches of the empire and beyond to hide three of their most powerful relics. But now the relics are being sought by a modern evil. Sean Wyatt and his band of part-time heroes are thrown into a global conspiracy that could mean the end of civilization as we know it. Race from Tennessee to England, Scotland, Bhutan, and Iran with Sean and his sidekick Tommy Schultz as they unravel ancient clues, fight their way through assassination attempts, and takes on a band of terrorists who are plotting their own kind of world war. Will Sean be able to track down the ancient relics before the terrorists? Will he save the archaeologist's daughter? Or will the killers recover one of the ancient world's most powerful and mysterious combination of artifacts? There's only one way to find out.
