Turn Left At The Trojan Horse by Brad Herzog Pdf

"Turn Left at the Trojan Horse had me howling with laughter and nodding at the razor-sharp observation." --Tahir Shah, author of The Caliph's House "Go away. Figure it out," she was saying. "Don't come back until you do." She looked at the calendar. "You have thirty-one days." With these words, like Helen of Troy launching a thousand ships across the Aegean, Brad Herzog's wife launched a Winnebago Aspect onto the open road. A modern-day Odysseus in Kerouac clothing, Brad Herzog plunges into a solo cross-country search for insight. With middle age bearing down on him, he takes stock: How has he measured up to his own youthful aspirations? In contemporary America, what is a life well lived? What is a heroic life? From the foothills of Washington's Mount Olympus, through the forgotten corners of America, and finally to his college reunion in Ithaca, New York, Brad shares his personal odyssey. Stopping in classically named towns, he meets everyday heroes, including a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse in Troy, Oregon;a modern-day hobo in Iliad, Montana;and a bomb-squad soldier in Sparta, Wisconsin. These encounters and Brad's effortlessly infused musings make for an exciting, one-of-a-kind ride. "A truly epic journey." --A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically "As we sit in Herzog's passenger seat, we cannot help but stare out the window and even see our own reflection in the glass."--Liz Robbins, author of A Race Like No Other Brad Herzog lives on California's Monterey Peninsula with his wife and their two sons. He has been described as a "modern-day Steinbeck" and a "Picasso of the Winnebago," and Lonely Planet has ranked his travel memoirs among eight classics of the genre, along with books like Travels with Charley and On the Road. As an award-winning freelance writer, he has chronicled some of the nation's most unusual and intriguing subcultures, from nudists to North Pole explorers and from Pez collectors to pro mini golfers.

Trojan Horse by Mark Russinovich Pdf

It's two years after the Zero Day attacks, and cyber-security analyst Jeff Aiken is reaping the rewards for crippling Al-Qaida's assault on the computer infrastructure of the Western world. His company is flourishing, and his relationship with former government agent Daryl Haugen has intensified since she became a part of his team. But the West is under its greatest threat yet. A revolutionary, invisible trojan that alters data without leaving a trace---more sophisticated than any virus seen before---has been identified, roiling international politics. Jeff and Daryl are summoned to root it out and discover its source. As the trojan penetrates Western intelligence, and the terrifying truth about its creator is revealed, Jeff and Daryl find themselves in a desperate race to reverse it as the fate of both East and West hangs in the balance. A thrilling suspense story and a sober warning from one of the world's leading experts on cyber-security, Trojan Horse exposes the already widespread use of international cyber-espionage as a powerful and dangerous weapon, and the lengths to which one man will go to stop it.

Trojan Horse by Brad Roberts Pdf

The modern-day Greeks are not hiding within their Trojan horse awaiting their ambush on the modern-day Trojans. They are already here... The well-known Greek tale of the Trojan horse may be thousands of years old, but its concept still holds true to this day within this very nation. America has been infiltrated by its own modern-day Trojan horse, but rather than being made of metal or wood, it is made of ideas and movements. Rather than Greek soldiers hiding within to ambush the Trojans, Leftists have already begun spreading oppression in a way that is difficult for Conservatives and Republicans to fight back. A political Trojan war is waging that is slowly destroying America, but it is not too late to turn its tides to better this once great nation once more. Author Brad Roberts explores how the Left has infiltrated major institutions to destroy America from the inside out in his debut Trojan Horse: How the Left is Destroying America. Through insightful opinions and viewpoints as well as extensive research, Roberts exposes the Left's beliefs and educates readers on how the Left has attacked America by focusing on principal issues such as: - Leftist organizations such as Antifa and BLM which see America as a racist nation - The aim to defund the police through the anti-police movement - Promotion of socialism, fake news through mainstream media, and abortion - Indoctrination within school systems which targets the younger generations The time has come to equip American patriots with how they may fight against the Left's destructive ideology. Roberts's hope through the ideas and discussions presented within the pages of this book is to equip conservative readers not with physical weapons, but with weapons of knowledge, discernment, and understanding so that they can defeat the Left on the basis of morals, facts, and history.

The Trojan War Museum: and Other Stories by Ayse Papatya Bucak Pdf

A debut story collection of spectacular imaginative range and lyricism from a Pushcart Prize–winning author. In Ayse Papatya Bucak’s dreamlike narratives, dead girls recount the effects of an earthquake and a chess-playing automaton falls in love. A student stops eating and no one knows whether her act is personal or political. A Turkish wrestler, a hero in the East, is seen as a brute in the West. The anguish of an Armenian refugee is “performed” at an American fund-raiser. An Ottoman ambassador in Paris amasses a tantalizing collection of erotic art. And in the masterful title story, the Greek god Apollo confronts his personal history and bewails his Homeric reputation as he tries to memorialize, and make sense of, generations of war. A joy and a provocation, Bucak’s stories confront the nature of historical memory with humor and humanity. Surreal and poignant, they examine the tension between myth and history, cultural categories and personal identity, performance and authenticity.
