  Moving Target - The Obedient...

  Book 2 of the Moving Target Trilogy 
  Stevie Parker thought the hard part was over. 
  She survived the phishing. The elder fraud. The romance scam that hit too close to home. She read the book, made the changes, and came out the other side prepared. Then her company got a private equity offer and someone handed her the keys to an AI rollout and told her to move fast. 
  She moved fast. 
  Moving Target: The Obedient Machine follows Stevie through the decisions that looked completely reasonable in the moment — the AI tools adopted without vetting, the policy approved without reading, the vendor demo that checked every box, the employee who was not who the resume said. Twelve mistakes in Book 1 were personal. The mistakes in this book belong to the entire organization. And the consequences are proportional. 
  Alongside Stevie's story, each chapter pulls back the curtain on a real crime operation: deepfake voice cloning, synthetic identity fraud, AI-assisted business email compromise, prompt injection, model poisoning, and the insider threat that was hiding in plain sight for eleven months before anyone looked. All of it documented. None of it theoretical. 
  This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about who is actually in control of it. The machine does not have an agenda. It is obedient. The problem is what it is being told to do, and by whom. 
  Perfect for: Anyone who adopted AI tools without a governance framework. Business leaders who approved a policy without reading it. Anyone who watched the PE deal fall apart and wondered how. Anyone who thought the breach was the worst thing that could happen — right before something worse happened. 
  This is Book 2 in the trilogy. Book 3: Ghost and the Machine -- Coming Fall 2026. Stevie stops being findable. The criminals lose the target. The machine is hers alone.

  Edward I of England - A Life...

  Hourly History

  Britain may have had more than its fair share of kings, but King Edward I is most certainly one for the record books. Edward I was a foundational figure in every sense. It was Edward who conquered Wales and incorporated it into England. It was Edward who set the stage for the conquest of Scotland—a brutal campaign that would define the final years of his reign and ignite centuries of conflict. 
  Edward certainly had his critics, but his strength and tenacity were just about unmatched. So too was his audacity. The man was audacious enough, after all, to embark upon a crusade at a time when the crusaders had very nearly been driven into the sea by their opponents. If anyone felt they could snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, it was King Edward I. Whether forging an empire or refusing to accept the impossible, Edward never backed down. This is his life—this is his story.

  On October 22, 2014, Claire Throssell’s life changed forever after her ex-husband lured their two children, Jack, 12, and his nine-year-old brother, Paul, to the attic of their family home, before deliberately setting fire to the house, murdering his children and killing himself. 
   
  Claire had been subject to her husband’s cruel coercive, physical, emotional and financial abuse throughout their 16-year marriage. After she found the strength to leave her husband, his campaign of brutality didn’t end, but the courts ignored her, and their sons’ wishes. They gave him unsupervised access to their two sons, despite Claire’s concerns that he was very capable of harming them. Her worst fears came true. 
   
  Since 2016, Throssell has been an ambassador for Women’s Aid and IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Service). Determined to ensure the voices of children never go unheard again, she has played a fundamental role in the implementation of the Domestic Abuse Bill, as well as ensuring survivors of domestic abuse can no longer be cross-examined by their perpetrators in the Family Court. 
   
  Claire also played a significant role in pushing for all judges to be trained on the subject of domestic abuse and has spearheaded the Child First campaign, lobbying parliament to abolish the ‘presumption of contact’ guidelines in child custody cases. 
   
  For My Boys is Claire’s heartbreaking story and her tale of determination to seek justice for her sons and give a voice to all children who are at risk at the hands of an abusive parent. Her battle with government and court bureaucracy will anger and shock, but Claire’s humbling and remarkable story of strength will inspire.

  Shadowcraft: The Secret History...

  Dr. Nick Coman, I. A.I.

  This is not a conspiracy course. It's an engineering course — applied to organizations that were designed never to be visible.
   
  Shadowcraft tells one story across 24 lectures: how shadow power actually works. Not shadowy masterminds in smoky rooms. The real thing — shell company registrations, fake end-user certificates, sequential passport numbers that blew an assassination unit's cover, and an auditor who signed off on books he knew were fraudulent because the alternative was worse.
   
  The story begins with two origin points: a royal charter that turned a mining company into a sovereign government, and a fruit company that partnered with the CIA to overthrow a democracy. From there, two threads evolve across seven decades — one tracing how corporate sovereignty became military capitalism (from colonial Africa through apartheid South Africa's nuclear procurement network to Wagner Group), the other tracing how intelligence collaboration became permanent shadow infrastructure (from Cold War stay-behind armies through Vatican Bank to a Russian troll farm and a GRU assassination unit still operating today).
   
  The threads converge at four nodes: a bank that served every side of every conflict, a commodities trader who personally bridged both worlds, a Panamanian law firm that hid them all, and a catering magnate who fused mercenary warfare with computational propaganda into one business.
   
  Every lecture follows the money, maps the personnel pipeline, identifies the deniability layer, and finds the moment the machinery became exposed. You'll meet the paperwork — charters, leaked memos, passport applications, banking records — because the paperwork isn't background decoration. The paperwork is the operation.
   
  24 lectures. 24+ hours. One story.  One Unteachable Course. By the end, you won't have a theory of conspiracy. You'll have a toolkit for reading power.

  Home Movies is an essay about the day-to-day realities and unrealities of its author’s hypermediated consumer life as a teacher and parent in Orlando, Florida. In each of the essay’s seven sections, Wheaton explores his relationships to new media and old tech, and the people around him, with thoughtful ambivalence and humor. Altogether, the various threads of Home Movies—image, tangibility, fame, nostalgia, simulation, marijuana, and cinema history—pull together into a moving attempt to accept the tensions between watching/being watched and life/art.

  Long Ago Last Summer

  Wesley Moore III

  Long Ago Last Summer is a Southern Gothic gumbo part Flannery O'Connor, part Tennessee Williams with a dash of Delta blues. An array of unforgettable characters come alive on the page: village idiots, eccentric aunts, beloved dogs, and at least one serial killer, Donald 'Pee Wee' Gaskins. Moore's memoir embodies the profound paradoxes of Southern culture against a landscape dotted with antebellum plantations, shotgun shacks, suburban subdivisions, Pentecostal churches, and juke joints. PRAISE FOR WESLEY MOORE'S WRITING: "Long Ago, Last Summer is, like life, sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic, full of unforgettable characters whose power to hurt rivals their power to love. Wesley Moore is a child of the complicated South, and it's a joy to 'grow up and grow old' with this terrific writer. This collection is a 'guided tour of the haunted houses and cobwebbed attics' of his youth, but it's also the story of a man who discovers, through tragedy, that 'the world is a marvelous place, full of good, compassionate people." – Lee Robinson, author of Lawyer for the Dog and Lawyer for the Cat. "I found in these pages something of what Faulkner meant when he wrote, 'The past is never dead. It is not even the past.' Reading this book was like walking in the wind or swimming. I was touched at all points and conscious everywhere. I was also reminded of Huck Finn's raw wisdom when he said about his adventures, 'All of this is true and most of it happened.'" – Chuck Sullivan, author of Zen Matchbox and The Juggler on the Radio.
