Beschreibung

In "In the Fourth Year: Anticipations of a World Peace," H. G. Wells delves into speculative ideas about global governance and the prospects of achieving lasting peace after the cataclysm of World War I. Writing in a precursor to modern political philosophy, Wells employs a blend of imaginative narrative and pragmatic analysis, foreseeing a world transformed by social and technological changes. His discourse reflects the zeitgeist of the early 20th century, marked by both optimism and trepidation about the future, as he navigates the intertwined fates of nations with a vision that remains thought-provoking today. H. G. Wells, known as the "father of science fiction," was not only a prolific novelist but also a social commentator deeply engaged with the upheavals of his time. His diverse background in literature and social reform, coupled with his critiques of capitalism and imperialism, shaped his understanding of the complex dynamics that lead to war and discord. "In the Fourth Year" emerges from this milieu, presenting his fervent hope for a cooperative international framework to avert the horrors of conflict. This book is essential for readers interested in the intersection of literature, history, and political thought. Wells's vision for a peaceful global society is not only a reflection of its era but resonates powerfully with contemporary debates on international relations and collective security. It encourages readers to critically engage with the consciousness of their own time and envision new pathways for global harmony.

    “Thriller writing at its best. Thriller enthusiasts who relish the precise execution of an international thriller, but who seek the psychological depth and believability of a protagonist who simultaneously fields professional and personal life challenges, will find this a gripping story that's hard to put down.”
    --Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (regarding Any Means Necessary)
    
    “One of the best thrillers I have read this year. The plot is intelligent and will keep you hooked from the beginning. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. I can hardly wait for the sequel.”
    --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary)
    
    From #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars, author of the critically-acclaimed Luke Stone and Agent Zero series (with over 5,000 five-star reviews), comes an explosive new, action-packed thriller series that takes readers on a wild-ride across Europe, America, and the world.
    
    When elite Navy Seal Troy Stark is forced into retirement for his dubious respect for authority, he dreads the quiet life awaiting him with his brothers and buddies in Yonkers, New York. But the quiet doesn’t last long: the NYPD needs Troy’s military expertise to help find and stop a major terrorist threat to New York City. To pre-empt the attack, they need him to fly to Europe and stop it at its source—using any means necessary.
    
    Troy finds himself partnered with an Interpol agent who is as different from him as can be, and their instant dislike is mutual. But they have an attack to stop, and only a few days to do it, and together they’ll need each other as they criss-cross Europe in a high-octane cat-and-mouse chase to shut these terrorists down.
    
    But what starts off as a straightforward mission (and an opportunity to clear his name) soon catapults Troy headfirst into a global conspiracy. These criminals are more sophisticated than they appear, and even with Troy’s unparalleled military skills, he and his team find themselves constantly one stop behind. With the fate of New York City on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. 
    
    Where will they strike? And when? And can Troy stop it before it’s too late?
    
    An unputdownable action thriller with heart-pounding suspense and unforeseen twists, ROGUE FORCE is the debut novel in an exhilarating new series by a #1 bestselling author that will have you fall in love with a brand new action hero—and turn pages late into the night.
    
    Books #2 and #3 in the series—ROGUE COMMAND and ROGUE TARGET—are now also available.

    Is Karina's missing aunt on vacation . . . or on the lam? 
     
     
     
    Karina is trying to keep her mind on getting a cosponsor for a bill, but it's tough with her mom blowing up her phone. By the time Karina finally stops hitting "ignore", Mom is frantic. It appears Karina's Aunt Vera has disappeared, fibbed to her employer about the reason for her absence, even abandoned her beloved cat, Nightshade—which is completely out of character. Karina would bet her favorite pair of designer shoes that Vera is in some kind of trouble. 
     
     
     
    However, when Karina hauls her cookies from DC to historic Williamsburg to search Vera's house, she finds nothing suspicious. Except for a mischievous Civil War ghost who scares the bejesus out of her and keeps trashing Vera's office. Until Karina realizes his seemingly random ectoplasmic tantrums have a purpose—revealing key evidence. 
     
     
     
    Something is definitely fishy, but the clues aren't adding up. And as the spirit's visitations become more urgent, Karina calls on reinforcements for help—her latest squeeze Rick Donovan and her sister Jillian. Because the cops are following faulty leads, which could put Vera on the wrong end of an arrest warrant . . . if she's found alive.
