Screw The Nut

Adam Knights

Sinopse

When one of their own suffers an unspeakable tragedy in an act of terror, four lifelong friends are drawn back to a dangerous past they’ve left behind. Leaving their civilian lives, the friends return to Northern Ireland, where they once served together in the Parachute Regiment during the Troubles, seeking justice in a land they know all too well.
At the same time, British Intelligence has been tracking suspicious movements between Northern Ireland and London, aware of an emerging threat yet unaware of the vigilante force stirring beneath the radar. While each group seeks to bring enemies of the state to justice, their paths dangerously converge, forcing a reckoning with loyalty, revenge and the price of peace. As the stakes rise, the boundaries between right and wrong blur, setting the stage for a showdown that could ignite conflict at home and beyond.
‘Adam’s military experience and research have excelled on to paper creating a story that takes you through decades of dispute and deceit in a forgotten conflict that took so many lives.’-        Matthew Hellyer, Ex 22 SAS

Aided by a police detective fallen from grace, Angela searches the midnight catacombs beneath the city, facing down a ruthless gang leader and stumbling onto a serial killer’s lair. Her desperate quest to rescue the girl leads her to the one thing she least expected to find: a last chance for love. As her symptoms escalate in bizarre and disturbing ways, Angie realizes exactly how serious her illness is. She might be dying, but she’s finally choosing how to live . . . A Raging Dawn: Dr. Rossi is diagnosed with Fatal Insomnia and given only a few months to live. She’d like to say her goodbyes to everyone and spend her last days on a deserted island.

The Sleepless Stars: When Dr. Rossi discovers that her disease—and the disease she’s discovered in dozens of young children—is the creation of a mysterious cabal, she begins investigating the lies and betrayal that led the terrible epidemic. Meanwhile, Devon Price, a father of one of those children, is on the hunt for those responsible. He is willing to lie, cheat, steal, or even kill to ensure his daughter’s safety. But in the end, their only hope might be a desperate deal with the devil: the faction behind the epidemic. A deal paid with blood. A deal not everyone will survive.

Totally absorbing and impossible to put down.” —Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Farewell to Dreams has it all: a heroine you’ll never forget and a story that whips by at bullet speed.” —Tess Gerritsen, New York Times–bestselling author

Hans-Henrik Juhl

Lord B is a parrot who lives happily, deep within the green South American jungle. But one day, a herd of lumberjacks intrudes. They shatter the peace and begin to chop down the trees. Lord B fears for his home. They are on the verge of destroying the forest, and that just won't do! Lord B decides to fly out into the world and investigate who and what is behind the destruction of the jungle. 
Lord B's mission has begun. 
Before his journey, he receives a nut from his uncle: a magical nut that will help him when and if he is in danger. It must only be used in emergency situations. 
Lord B travels far and wide on his mission. Soon he discovers many other threats to nature besides deforestation. It’s not only the jungle that is in danger. It's actually the whole planet. The trees, the lakes, the rivers, the air and the oceans are so affected by pollution that the order of nature is completely out of balance. The whole Earth needs to be saved, and the clock is ticking… 
Fortunately, Lord B meets many friendly figures on his way, both humans and animals, from the giant Greenland whale Bertha to the talking tree Eura and the small mole Maurice. They all give him good advice and help him on his journey across the blue planet. From the hot and humid rainforest, Lord B flies over the cold mountains and through the desert, until he reaches another jungle: the big city. And here he meets the greatest ordeal and the greatest realization.
