Day of the Long Knives by Paul Clark Pdf

How do you bring down a President who will stop at nothing to stay in power? Ruslan Shanidza sets out on his most ambitious and most dangerous quest, a campaign to depose the strongman who rules his post-communist homeland. He quickly assembles a fractious coalition of rivals and former enemies. But they must confront some very dangerous people: men with blood on their hands who know they can never allow their grip on power to slip. Ruslan soon discovers that he has placed himself and his family in the firing line in an increasingly desperate fight to the finish. It is a case of destroy or be destroyed, and both sides know it. Praise for the previous Ruslan Shanidza novels The Price of Dreams ‘…will keep you turning the pages…Prepare to be sucked in with gripping characters and political intrigue until the very end.’ OnlineBookClub.org Official Review ‘Highly enjoyable, gripping page turner, solid story and characters, political intrigue; what’s not to like?’ E.P. Goodreads reviewer ‘I simply could not put down this fast-paced thriller - from well-developed characters to an intrigue-filled plot…’ E. Kobo reviewer ‘Gripping, atmospheric and convincing.’ T.C. Amazon UK reviewer A Long Night of Chaos ‘Few novels start as savagely and alarmingly as this…The place is the northern Caucasus; the time the murderous period of chaos left by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the contest of small, fanatical nationalities to establish their own independent states…not only a guide to the recent past but – unhappily – to the bloodshed and intrigue of the likely future.’ Neal Ascherson, author of Black Sea and The Polish August ‘The characters come alive and it quickly draws you in.’ BJ Amazon.Com Reviewer ‘…melds themes of conflict, loss, and love in this politically charged thriller that arrests the reader’s attention from the first page…solid characters…the book was an exhilarating read’ OnlineBookClub.org Official Review ‘Political intrigue, peril and recognisable characters, only a step away from true figures from fairly recent east European history, makes the book that much more enjoyable.’ PWB Amazon UK Reviewer

Long-Knives by Tak Paris Pdf

Author Tak Paris (Chris Kasparis) chronicles the next chapter of his extra-ordinary life in search for self-realisation and a deeper understanding of the ancient origins of Romano-Celtic Britain. This book is a sequel to The Burning Ground, his first autobiographical novel, detailing his probationary spiritual path, which smelted him into a spiritual warrior for Light, Love and Power. Chris's epic journey now entices him into a mystic chess game re-enactment which was initially played out in the treacherous Dark Ages. He is unwittingly pitted against reincarnated Dark Saxon Druid souls in the blood-soaked' killing fields' of Celtic, South Wales the dynastic home-lands of the real historic King Arthur. Armed with only his purity of purpose and an overshadowing of his Daemon, he is thrust into spiritual warfare, where he battles fallen angels, shape-shifting demons and satanic attacks for the salvation of human souls. His divine purpose is propelled forward with the mystic knowledge of a past life in King Arthur's epoch and his role 'holding the light' in those Dark Ages. This novel is based on real life events, with some experiences and persons being fictional. It is historic, mythic and esoteric, tracing the earliest origins of King Arthur's Romano-British heritage, coupled with the author's Herculian challenges, as he unfolds his destiny on his Arthurian spiritual quest.

The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn Pdf

"...engaging, intelligent, and surprisingly suspenseful." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love The unforgettable New York Times best-selling journey of self-discovery and finding one's true calling in life Kathleen Flinn was a thirty-six-year-old middle manager trapped on the corporate ladder - until her boss eliminated her job. Instead of sulking, she took the opportunity to check out of the rat race for good - cashing in her savings, moving to Paris, and landing a spot at the venerable Le Cordon Blue cooking school. The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry is the funny and inspiring account of her struggle in a stew of hot-tempered, chefs, competitive classmates, her own "wretchedly inadequate" French - and how she mastered the basics of French cuisine. Filled with rich, sensual details of her time in the kitchen - the ingredients, cooking techniques, wine, and more than two dozen recipes - and the vibrant sights and sounds of the markets, shops, and avenues of Paris, it is also a journey of self-discovery, transformation, and, ultimately, love.
