County Lines - the new breed of exploitation plaguing the streets of a town near you. If you've heard any news report on the upsurge in knife crime recently, you'll have heard the words 'county lines'. From the street slang that was once known as 'going country' - it sees powerful drugs gangs supplying outside of the capital through an underworld 'emerging markets enterprise', using children as young as 12 and vulnerable men and women to do their dirty work.Teens whose bereaved relatives assume they led ordinary lives, who tell us they were 'good kids', suddenly end up stabbed to death with no seeming motive. At night, on a usually quiet suburban street, a massive knife fight erupts and two kids end up on life support. Their parents tell the news they weren't in a gang ... What is really going on? Jason Farrell, Home Editor at Sky News, is the man with the inside story. In this fearless, hard-hitting account, Farell shares in terrifying detail the story of the county lines phenomenon through the words of gang members and their victims themselves as well as the police and the country's leading experts.Through exclusive interviews and meticulous research, Farrell paints a vivid picture of how this murky world operates he reveals the devastating effects County Lines is having upon the UK... and beyond... and, most terrifying of all, why this new, sinister crime wave means nobody is safe.

After recovering from a world disaster, the remaining two billion people on Earth returned to normal living, including the construction of several interstellar spacecraft. The intent was to begin colonizing acceptable worlds for the purpose of protecting the human race from extinction and for obtaining new assets to replace the rapidly depleting natural resources. Two ships were launched approximately two years apart. Both used appropriated alien technology in their engines to increase effective and apparent speed. The planned voyages would take many years to reach their goals even with the new engine types being used. The first ship, the New Dawn, suddenly went missing almost three years after they launched. All communication and telemetry with the New Dawn were suddenly, and without warning, cut off.Two years later, in January, 2046, a weak signal arrived from the New Dawn. The message was short and to the point. They were all alive and well, gave a warning to avoid Alpha Centauri, essentially for the same reasons recently discovered by the scientists on Earth. They were on course for a new, but unknown objective on the vector of their signal. Further attempts at contact were unsuccessful.Within months, the Inceptus launched on the same course as the signal was received, with the hopes that contact, as well as another sutiable planet, could be found.Sudden involvement with space junk was the cause of the New Dawn's silence and course change. As a result, alien contact was made and friendly cooperation was then established. Unfortunately, there were other aliens yet to be found that were intending to destroy all forms of space-faring life and they were coming in the New Dawn's direction The Inceptus catches up with and lands where the New Dawn had finally set down.The adventure of the Battle for Nakai begins...

'Captivating… The stuff of thrillers' - the Financial Times An explosive new vision of geopolitics from two trail-blazing political scientistsDeep beneath our feet, vast and sprawling, lies one of the most sophisticated empires the world has ever known. At first glance, it might not look like much - it is made up of fibre optic cables and obscure payment systems. But according to prominent political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, the United States has turned the most vital pathways of the world economy into tools of domination over foreign businesses and countries, whether they are rivals or allies, allowing it to maintain global supremacy.Drawing on original reporting and ground-breaking research, Farrell and Newman explain how this underground empire has allowed the United States to eavesdrop on other countries and isolate its enemies. Now, efforts by countries such as China and Russia to untether themselves from this coercive US-led system are turning the global economy into a battle zone. Today's headlines about trade wars, sanctions, and controls on technology exports are merely tremors hinting at far greater seismic shifts beneath the surface, as we sleepwalk into a dangerous new struggle for empire.Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how power is wielded today, Underground Empire weaves together tales of economic conflict, shadowy surveillance and covert infrastructure projects to explain how the world order has been brought to the brink of chaos - and how we might find a way back from the edge.

Japanese overseas investment in real estate has been little analysed, until now, despite its economic scale and political impact. This unique book explores the political economy of Japanese foreign direct investment in real estate in the United States, Australia and other countries from the mid-1980s onwards.In the period between 1985 and 1994, there was a remarkable rise and decline in Japanese real estate investment abroad. The author explains that this experience was important because real estate investment became a focal point of international tension between Japan and other countries.What this book achieves is an understanding of the speed of the advance and the retreat of Japanese real estate FDI. The author also explains its principal causes as well as its impact on host economies and communities. It will be an important new reference source for political economists and international business scholars as well as for scholars of Japanese studies.
