Beschreibung

In "The Vanished Messenger," E. Phillips Oppenheim embarks on a gripping narrative that fuses elements of mystery and espionage, characteristic of early 20th-century literature. The novel follows the disquieting disappearance of a crucial messenger amidst a web of intrigue and peril. Oppenheim's deft prose showcases his talent for suspense, interlaced with rich character development and a vividly rendered backdrop of pre-World War I Europe, reflecting the era's anxieties regarding betrayal and loyalty. His intricate plotting and engaging dialogue compel readers to navigate through layers of deception and unexpected twists, emblematic of his broader oeuvre as a pioneer of the spy fiction genre. E. Phillips Oppenheim, often dubbed the 'Prince of Storytellers,' was a prolific British author whose extensive career spanned several decades. His upbringing in a politically vibrant environment and his own experiences with the theatre influenced his narrative craft, embedding an acute awareness of human motivations into his stories. The socio-political climate of his time, marked by espionage and global conflict, deeply informed his thematic explorations and character arcs in "The Vanished Messenger." For readers captivated by profound psychological insights and suspenseful storytelling, "The Vanished Messenger" emerges as a compelling addition to the canon of early 20th-century literature. Oppenheim's masterful blend of mystery and character study offers a tantalizing glimpse into a world rife with uncertainty and intrigue. This work is not only a reflection of the genre's evolution but also an invitation to explore the complexities of trust and identity within tumultuous times.

    There is one last chance to save the democracy George Washington founded. That last chance is Washington himself. 
    It is 2028 and a certain president wants a third term. The Constitution shouldn’t allow it but the Supreme Court has found a workaround. The electoral system has been mangled. The media is a joke. Voters can barely be troubled to vote. But thanks to a team of scientists George Washington has been brought from the past to regain the presidency. Written by New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg, A Third Term tells the story of how hard Candidate Washington has to fight to win in these corrupt times. Riddled with pneumonia, possessing dentures fashioned from slave’s teeth, and an aristocratic sensibility tempered by war and religious faith, the Father of Our Country requires considerable rehabilitation to challenge the man he only refers to as “The Tyrant.” Fortunately a wily campaign manager and a sexy personal trainer are there by his side.

    "The Resident Patient", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Resident Patient" eighteenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
    Doctor Percy Trevelyan brings Holmes an unusual problem. Having been a brilliant student but a poor man, Dr. Trevelyan has found himself a participant in an unusual business arrangement. A man named Blessington, claiming to have some money to invest, has set Trevelyan up in premises with a prestigious address and paid all his expenses. In return, he demands three-fourths of all the money that the doctor's practice earns, which he collects every evening, going over the books thoroughly and leaving the doctor 5/3d of every guinea (21 shillings or £1 1/- in pre-decimalized currency) from the day's takings. Blessington is himself infirm, it turns out, and likes this arrangement because he can always have a doctor nearby.

    FROM FORMER GREEN BERET AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JASON KASPER 
     
    When elite CIA operative David Rivers and his paramilitary team are dispatched to the heart of Africa, their mission is clear: eliminate the notorious terrorist warlord, Chijioke Mubenga, before he can unleash chaos upon the world. 
     
    But fate has other plans. 
     
    A streak of anti-aircraft fire lights up the night sky, turning a covert parachute jump into a nightmare descent. Stranded miles from their rendezvous point and deep within a hostile jungle, Rivers and his team are cut off, hunted, and desperate. 
     
    In their quest for survival, they uncover a web of treachery that extends far beyond the Congo’s borders. As they close in on Mubenga, Rivers uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to reshape the very fabric of global security. 
     
    In a land where trust is a luxury and every path holds potential danger, Rivers must navigate his team through a maze of betrayal, drawing on every ounce of his skill, leadership, and instinct to outwit an enemy that always seems two steps ahead. The hunt is on … but in the Congo, nothing is as it seems. 
     
    And the cost of failure is unimaginable.
