  Audiobook Description  
  The sky came down like a knife and took everything Jack Steele loved. 
  Jack is a man of the West  steady, hard-handed, and honest. When the Black Sky opens and ships pour fire on his town, Jack’s quiet life is ripped apart. His wife Emily is taken. His son is gone. The town is ash and smoke. What remains are people who must learn to fight. 
  This audiobook is a fast, hard ride. Expect non-stop action raids at dawn, desperate night escapes, small teams sneaking into alien strongholds, and big set-piece fights where bullets and courage meet strange, unstoppable weapons. You’ll meet tough allies (Lila, Mateo, Sheriff Cole, Mayor Evelyn Harper) and enemies who think like machines. You’ll see rescue missions that cost everything, plans hatched in smoky rooms, and the price of hope when hope looks foolish. 
  Simple language, sharp scenes, and steady emotion drive the pages. You’ll feel the dust in Jack’s boots, the heat of the alien beams, and the cost of each choice. This is not a clean war  it is ugly, brave, and human. 
  What to expect  gritty Western grit fused with hard sci-fi threat; fierce small-group tactics; emotional losses that shape the fight; a slow, terrible enemy plan that will force Jack and the survivors to change the rules of war. 
  Coming: audiobook Two of the Black Sky War  coming Winter. 
  If you loved the first battle, ready your pack. The war climbs higher. The choices get darker. The dawn will be earned.

  Evolution Is Wrong - A Radical...

  A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists’ Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
  There was once a set of ideas called the theory of evolution, conceived by clever people and confirmed by countless scientists. Then people discovered the electron microscope. This made it possible to make the molecules within the cell visible, and suddenly questions about evolution arose that were not possible before. Which force actually bundles the atoms in the right order? What moves the molecular chains into the correct position? How did the first living unit within the cell actually come about? How does inheritance work, how does information pass on to the next generation? Did humans descend only and exclusively from primates—as Charles Darwin and countless other great minds assumed—or did additional “engines” intervene in evolution?  
  Today it is clear: countless questions can no longer be answered with the previous theory of evolution. There is a form of life called “Blob” (Physarum polycephalum). The “thing” has neither eyes nor ears, neither a mouth nor a nose or even a brain. Nevertheless, it takes in food, overcomes obstacles by the shortest route and exchanges information with other “blobs.” The “blob” contradicts any evolutionary thought that one develops from the other. Or the “gastric-brooding frogs” (Rheobatrachus) found in Australia. They hatch their young in the stomach. Impossible in a slow, evolutionary process.  
  Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called “Intelligent Design.” Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? Aliens?—could be behind this planning.  
  Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.

  Examples of leader actions and decisions—some humorous, some tragic—that will help guide you whether you are a military officer or a civilian in an office.   John Chapman is a longstanding observer and chronicler of leadership events. In Muddy Boots Leadership, he describes 285 military leadership situations and the actions leaders have taken to meet the issue at hand. The leadership lessons learned and relearned by military leaders are applicable to a wide variety of organizations, both civil and military. Many are truly surprising; all are written with a certain “spark” that those in leadership positions will immediately understand. The text is augmented with some truly classic sidebars.  “When officers are being asked to ‘do everything with nothing,’ it costs a leader nothing but muddy boots to walk with them—and it can inspire extraordinary effort . . . It doesn’t take money to get your boots muddy and lead by example. It does take courage and effort.” —Officer.com
