A series of Diplomatic hoaxes is about to bring the world to its knees and close to nuclear war. Riots across the world of every sort seem to be materialising out of nowhere. Daayan, a subversive faction of occultists and zealots based in a remote region of India, thought to be inexistent, might be the responsible. Susan Dax is asked by a friend to make some inconspicuous enquiries, to find out if this sect does exist and if it might be the culprit. In New Delhi Susan Dax not only finds the city hot and suffocating, she found the city hazardous for her health and dangerously uncooperative. She has to deal with a group of fanatic killers, a heroine deal, a snake pit, a crazed billionaire, a traitor and a new awesomely devastating weapon. She navigates her way through ambitious killers and a self-obsessed combat fighter, but if she wants to survive, she must follow her instincts and play her own game and watch out for the mark of the Cobra.
An assassin at the top of his vocation. A killer unknown to any of the specialized intelligence services in the world. A mastermind behind a clandestine spy network known as the Conclave. A training session ends up being a real game of death. A military prototype gadget goes missing and being offered up in a silent auction by the Conclave. An old colleague summons Susan Dax to Paris with the intention of shedding light on Conclaves deadly game. A trans-European train voyage occupied with intelligence operatives from various known and anonymous intelligence agencies play a fatal game of cat and mouse. A slew of bullets, explosions, and karate chops almost puts an end to Susan Daxs investigation. A deathly subterfuge ensues and turns into a nightmare as our valiant female protagonist tries to discover the identity behind Conclaves mastermind.
Susan Dax is coerced by the American Intelligence into not only aiding an unethical shady friend, who has been captured and imprisoned, but also to look into the theft of an undisclosed weapon. The developing plot takes her from the easy confines of Washington, DC, to Yemen, across the Middle East and the Mediterranean—ending with her being double-crossed, captured, and at the mercy of an extremist intent on poisoning and delving a crippling blow to the American public. The caper’s involving Stevenson Mukoro’s masterly creation of Susan Dax is a sexy English compliment to Lara Croft and Fleming’s James Bond. She and Mr. Seymour Krakauer have lost none of their influence and constant-moving action flurry. The ambiance of raw espionage and no-holds barred fight scenes come floating back like biting cordite smoke. The Susan Dax series of novels now number eight titles.
Dr. Jonas Allen has been with the Center for Disease Control almost sixteen years. For most of his career, he’s been “in the trenches.” In 1997, he was in Zaire, investigating a monkey pox outbreak. He assisted investigators at the World Health Organization during the Uganda Ebola outbreak of 2000. He has studied West Nile, SARS, and H1N1, and he was even on-site after the Haitian earthquake of 2010. Jonas has been a firsthand witness to countless medical emergencies, any one of which could have spelled disaster for humanity. Each time, mankind dodged the fatal bullet—until now. Nothing could have prepared Jonas and his team for the nightmare that is about to unfold. People start exhibiting symptoms of violent psychosis. They cannot escape madness, and neither can the people around them. Deep within the infected minds of these victims, two organisms struggle to survive, and Jonas must race against time to identify the culprits and stop a rage pandemic. Atlanta is under siege. The CDC has become a refuge and possibly humanity’s last hope for survival. However, the solution to the pandemic may be more terrifying than the disease itself.

This book considers the provisional nature of cities in relation to the Anthropocene – the proposed geological epoch of human-induced changes to the Earth system. It charts an environmental history of curfews, admonitions and alarms about dwelling on Earth. ‘Provisional cities’ are explored as exemplary sites for thinking about living in this unsettled time. Each chapter focuses on cities, settlements or proxy urbanisations, including past disaster zones, remote outposts in the present and future urban fossils. The book explores the dynamic, changing and contradictory relationship between architecture and the global environmental crisis and looks at how to re-position architectural and urban practice in relation to wider intellectual, environmental, political and cultural shifts. The book argues that these rounder and richer accounts can better equip humanity to think through questions of vulnerability, responsibility and opportunity that are presented by immense processes of planetary change. These are cautionary tales for the Anthropocene. Central to this project is the proposition that living with uncertainty requires that architecture is reframed as a provisional practice. This book would be beneficial to students and academics working in architecture, geography, planning and environmental humanities as well as professionals working to shape the future of cities.

How might the world as we know it end? In this illustrated guide, How Stuff Works author Marshall Brain explores myriad doomsday scenarios and the science behind them. What if the unimaginable happens? A nuclear bomb detonates over a major city, for example, or a deadly virus infects millions around the world. There are other disasters we don’t even have to imagine because they’ve already occurred, like violent hurricanes or cataclysmic tsunamis that have caused horrific loss of life and damage. In The Doomsday Book, Marshall Brain explains how everything finally ends—the decimation of nations and cities, of civilization, of humanity, of all life on Earth. Brain takes a deep dive into a wide range of doomsday narratives, including manmade events such as an electromagnetic pulse attack, a deadly pandemic, and nuclear warfare; devastating natural phenomena, such as an eruption from a super-volcano, the collapse of the Gulf Stream, or lethal solar flares; and science-fiction scenarios where robots take over or aliens invade. Each compelling chapter provides a detailed description of the situation, the science behind it, and ways to prevent or prepare for its occurrence. With fun graphics and eye-catching photographs at every turn, The Doomsday Book will be the last book you’ll ever have to read about the last days on Earth. Scenarios include: - Asteroid Strike: a massive asteroid could obliterate life—just as it might have killed the dinosaurs. - Gray Goo: self-replicating nanobots engulf the planet. - Grid Attack: an attack on our power grid shuts down the internet, affecting airports, banks, computers, food delivery, medical devices, and the entire economic system. - Gulf Stream collapse: the shutdown of this important ocean current causes temperatures to plummet. - Ocean acidification: if the oceans’ pH levels shift due to a rise in carbon dioxide, all marine life could die.
A War is Coming! As America lies bleeding, Native American Chief Hiamovi seeks to unite his people into a single nation capable of reclaiming the US from the white man. His growing army is on a collision course with cult leader Samuel Colt, who intends to put the country back in the iron grip of the once mighty Neo-Clergy. The two men are set for a showdown at Little Bighorn, once site of Custer's legendary last stand, now a twisted, nuclear landscape. The fate of the battle may just be decided by Anna Bontraeger, rescued from a brothel by rogue scientist Matthew Greaves and taken on a perilous road trip across a devastated continent. Greaves and his small band have to get Anna to Little Bighorn before Colt or Hiamovi, so she can unlock the secrets which will save what remains of humanity and bring about a new dawn over Doomsday!
A DNA experiment threatens to decay the minds of mankind unless the genius who began this experiment can find a cure before he becomes the next victim.
The 21st century will most likely see even more revolutionary changes than the 20th, due to advances in science, technology and medicine. Particular areas where extraordinary and perhaps disruptive advances can be expected include biotechnology, nanotechnology, and machine intelligence. We may also expect various ways to enhance human cognitive and other abilities using, e.g., pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering or machine-brain interfaces - perhaps to the extent of changing human nature beyond what we currently think of as human. The potential benefits of all these technologies are enormous, but so are the risks, including the possibility of human extinction.
A trio of pulse-pounding thrillers from the USA Today–bestselling author and “one of the best all-out action writers in the business” (Los Angeles Review of Books). “Nobody writes action like Jon Land,” and in these three edge-of-your-seat international thrillers, the stakes have never been higher (John Lescroart). No wonder James Rollins says: “Jon Land proves yet again that suspense has a new king.” The Valhalla Testament: After his sister—an American undercover operative masquerading as a journalist in Nicaragua—is murdered and he is imprisoned, NFL running back Jamie Skylar must escape to the United States to warn the government of an impending terrorist attack. Vortex: Vietnam special-forces veteran Joshua Bane must wage a one-man war to stop a government conspiracy from completing a superweapon that could alter the very fabric of reality. Project Vortex would make the atom bomb look like a bow and arrow—and push the world into a devastating global conflict. The Doomsday Spiral: An Israeli special-forces operative whose true identity is buried under so many layers of deception that not even the Mossad knows who he really is, Alabaster may be all that stands between a terrorist plot targeting the US and total oblivion.
