Spaceport Atlantis is the Sixth book in the Birth of the Gods Series. Starship Orion Four travels almost 50 years to reach Mars, the planet of origin of the Mayan people now living on Hyksos in Constellation Draco. After reaching the intended destination, starship Commander Armant Zeus sees little value in any archeological or anthropological research of this uninhabitable planet. He wants to colonize Earth, instead. One of his pilots, Captain Pallas Athena, warns him that, if he doesn't allow this to happen, there might be a mutiny on the starship. Most people aboard support the mission to discover why their ancestors left Mars thousands of years ago. When two crew members die during this mission, Commander Zeus is accused of murder. That event begins an erosion of the command structure aboard the starship. Captain Athena investigates and clears the commander, but eventually he is arrested for murdering his wife. Months later, they are contacting humanoids on planet Earth. However, a volcanic eruption at their base on a Caribbean island destroys their shuttle. Now, they can't colonize this planet. In the end, with Captain Pallas Athena as their new commander, the starship officers see no other option than to journey back to Constellation Draco.

EMMANUEL IS THE SEVENTH BOOK IN THE BIRTH OF THE GODS SERIES. Starship Commander Seth Okanata has a spotless record with the Mayan Space Administration. However this hush-hush journey to Earth in the Orion Belt of the galaxy turns out to be the worst of his career. They do find rich deposits of copper on planet Earth, which they plan to mine in the near future. They also save the life of a religious prophet from Nazareth in Israel. On the negative side, they are boarded by a pirate and even though they neutralize him, they are tailed by the pirate starship until they reach Jupiter. Worse than that, there's a murder onboard. Rocket Mechanic Masal Djoser dies during an EVA under very suspicious circumstances. Security Chief Alto Bucolus has three suspects, Masal Djoser's wife, Elaina, Hector Copan, the man who was with Masal during the EVA, and none other than the commander himself, Seth Okanata. What makes this worse is that the most likely suspect is Masal's wife, Elaina Djoser, and, unfortunately, Seth is falling in love with her. In the end, Security Chief Alto Bucolus saves the day by doing what is morally right.

Ramses feels compelled to take the "square scroll" Agenor found in a cave outside Nubia to Tanis, a scholar in Thebes. Inside that city, Prince Avaris is crowned king. His father, Serapis, was found murdered the night before. Kamose, his younger brother, runs off with Avaris's concubine, to Kadesh. Avaris declares war. In no time, the Nubians prove their superiority. They plan to catapult the walls of Kadesh and invade the city. Now desperate, King Ajax sends Kamose to his brother with an offer to buy the concubine. Avaris answers by dragging Kamose around the city walls tied behind his horse. King Ajax has only one option left. He asks King Shipharah to intervene. Weeks later, Avaris is murdered in his sleep. This ends the war. But Tanis, the man who assassinated Avaris, is found out and he's stabbed outside the walls of Thebes. As a result, Ramses and Agenor are left to finish his research. In the end, Agenor reveals the long-hidden secrets on the "square scroll." This action shakes the very foundations of Hyksos society in every city on that planet.

Orion Four is the fifth book in the Birth of the Gods series. Major Asheru Mastaba feels lucky to be chosen as one of the astronauts to pilot this giant starship across the Milky Way Galaxy. What makes this even better is that she will be working under the finest officer she's ever known, Commander Noah Saqqara. Noah, himself, is sure he's the one MSA astronaut perfectly suited to command this mission, yet he has doubts about going. His wife, Menes, was recently diagnosed with cancer, so she can't leave. However, Menes surprises him with the ultimate self-sacrifice, which releases Noah from the need to drop out of this mission. The journey begins with flybys of the largest planets in their own solar system, CM Draconis. These flybys will accelerate them to sub-light speed. However, they are extremely dangerous because the starship might be torn apart by the powerful gravitational fields of these monster planets. Commander Noah Saqqara knows the dangers. However, this 46.7 light year journey is very important. It will confirm the Mayan people's migration 3000 years ago from the planet Mars in the Orion Belt of the galaxy to their current home planet, Hyksos, in Constellation Draco.

The Baron of Wall Street

The Baron of Wall Street

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS INC
2026
sidottu
The first biography of one of the most influential and innovative figures in the history of American finance who revolutionized Wall Street and whose story reads like a real-life Great Gatsby J.P. Morgan. John D. Rockefeller. Charles E. Mitchell. These are some of the most prominent icons of wealth and influence during the Roaring Twenties. Yet the one figure who has strangely escaped notice all these years is an enigmatic banker by the name of Clarence Dillon. In the dazzling 1920s, as he rose in wealth and influence, Dillon became one of the original behind-the-scenes players in Hollywood, and his contact list included everyone from Thomas Edison to Charlie Chaplin and Joseph P. Kennedy to FDR. Like many great figures in history, Dillon’s personality was complex and contradictory: he could be utterly ruthless and cold-blooded, yet he was also sophisticated and elegant. This immensely influential man left a lasting mark on the history of finance in America. Yet, strangely, he eluded the close attention of biographers and historians—until now. A revolutionary in finance, Clarence Dillon single-handedly: Created modern bankruptcy law Pioneered leveraged buyouts Invented junk bonds Engineered some of the biggest mergers and acquisitions ever seen This first-ever inside look at Dillon and his life will fill a void in how we view the wild excesses of the Roaring Twenties, and how we understand the increasingly complex nexus between Wall Street and political power in our own time. The Baron of Wall Street is a vivid, novelistic account of Wall Street’s most formative years and its transformation through one dynamic and influential player in the financial world, highlighting his significant role in shaping US foreign policy today.

The Silver Star is awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States not justifying a higher award. It may be awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S Armed Forces, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism involving one of the following actions: In action against an enemy of the United States: While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party The Silver Star differs from the Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross or Air Force Cross, in that it requires a lesser degree of gallantry and need not be earned while in a position of great responsibility. Soldiers who received a citation for gallantry in action during World War I were eligible to apply to have the citation converted to the Silver Star Medal. The authors have compiled this stirring collection of profiles in courage to honour the Sailors and Marines awarded the Silver Star by the U.S. Navy while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It documents the extraordinary, award-winning actions of young American men in the war against global terrorism. A companion volume to The Navy Cross (Naval Institute Press, 2007), this book also includes selected profiles of Silver Star recipients from previous wars whose stories stand out as the best among an elite group. It is the first book to recognize and preserve for future generations the selfless dedication shown by Silver Star medalists in their fight for freedom.

Men and women who serve in the armed forces are subject to a different legal code than those they protect. Throughout American history, some have--through action or failure to act or by circumstances--found themselves facing prosecution by the United States military. One measure of a nation's sense of justice is how it treats those who surrender some of their rights to defend the rights of fellow citizens. Beginning with the first court-martial (predating the nation itself) and continuing to the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the War on Terror, this book examines the proceedings of 15 courts-martial that raised such important legal questions as: When does advocacy become treason? Who bears ultimate responsibility when troops act illegally? What are the limits in protesting injustice? The defendants include such familiar names as Paul Revere and William Calley. The authors examine such overlooked cases as the Somers Mutiny, the trial of the San Patricios and the Port Chicago Mutiny. These trials demonstrate that guaranteeing military justice--especially in the midst of armed conflict--is both a challenge and a necessity in a free society.
