But he is now a man with many questions-and little time.All questions lead to Prisha Baari, a psychopathic CIA Deputy Director and Frank's former boss, who will do anything to ensure the success of her sinister special project to control the minds of the American people - including terminating Frank Luce again. This time for good.Frank must expose Baari and her dark secrets to determine the shadowy truth behind why his government turned on him, and dispatch eye-for-an-eye justice against those responsible for his destruction. But when Frank discovers Baari's treachery goes well beyond him, he is forced to once again place his trust in others to succeed.At stake is the soul of the nation. And the soul of Frank Luce.Note The Frank Luce Series is best read in order, starting with book 1 (Talion Justice) followed by book 2 (Raw Justice).

Fifty percent of Americans can name four characters from The Simpsons," but only two out of five can name all three branches of the federal government. No more than one in seven can find Iraq on a map. Just how stupid are we? Pretty stupid. In Just How Stupid Are We? , best-selling author Rick Shenkman takes aim at our great national piety: the wisdom of the American people. American democracy is as direct as it's ever been,but voters are misusing, abusing, and abdicating their political power. At once a powerful indictment of voter apathy and political indifference, Just How Stupid Are We? also provides concrete proposals for reforming our institutions,the government, the media, civic organizations, political parties,to make them work better for the American people. But first, Shenkman argues, we must reform ourselves.

For most of his life, veterinarian Rick Quinn ignored a deep longing to meaningfully protect the endangered animals that fascinated him. Then one day, he read two magazine clippings about the great apes and knew it was time to set aside excuses and find the means to help. Armed with his camera and an insatiable curiosity, Dr. Quinn set off for the front lines of great ape conservation.Just Like Us is a gorgeous tribute to our not-too-distant relatives as well as the courageous people who are risking their lives to protect them. In this remarkable memoir, we follow Dr. Quinn’s seven-year journey across seven African countries and Indonesia, where he photographed each great ape species in its natural habitat. Using inspiring stories juxtaposed with stunning photographs, he illuminates the threats to great ape survival as well as the complexity of saving them. The result delivers an empathetic sense that these magnificent beings really are—strikingly so—just like us. The author will donate all proceeds of your book purchase to Docs4GreatApes.

This book has been in the works since Justin Trudeau's majority government started to renege on election promises to the citizens of Canada. Wasteful uncontrolled spending soon followed. This book is a collection of articles documented from July 18/16 to April May 26/19 using respectable news sources. I'm hoping that this will become an eye opener as to how corrupt the Liberal government has been, as well as a reminder as to how quickly Canadians forget. Election reform, Phoenix Pay system, SNC Lavalin scandal, Ohmar Khadr pay-out, illegal immigration, truth and reconciliation, Trans Mountain pipeline purchase and the Admiral Mark Norman case are examples of misuse and lack of government accountability. The average Canadian today is only interested in what directly affects them short term and pays little attention to tomorrow. This book only exposes a minute portion of actual government spending practices.As a born in Canada, middle class Canadian Citizen I am tired of paying more than my share of taxes.
