  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  A covert Ukrainian operation cripples Russia’s strategic lifeline through the Baltic Sea in the near future, triggering a chain reaction that neither side can fully control. As Russia and NATO scramble to contain the fallout and control the damage, the incident ignites a shadow war of espionage and brinkmanship, threatening to push the Baltic region over the edge. Misread signals, deniable actions, and fractured communication turn a calculated strike into a test of resolve with no clear off-ramp. 
  Behind closed doors, alliances fracture, deniability erodes, and political betrayal becomes as dangerous as open combat. As covert operatives, diplomats, and naval commanders race to shape the outcome, the line between covert action and open warfare begins to vanish. Leaders are driven toward riskier decisions, even as the cost of escalation becomes impossible to ignore, and field operatives pursue military adventurism to right historic wrongs and re-shape the balance of power. This near-future geopolitical thriller explores how a single operation in the Baltic Sea could draw Ukraine, Russia, and NATO into a confrontation with global consequences.

  Chicago Writers Association Nonfiction Book of the Year (2017) Society of Midland Authors Literary Award in Biography (2017)
  
  A tireless champion of the downtrodden, Nelson Algren, one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century, lived an outsider's life himself. He spent a month in prison as a young man for the theft of a typewriter; his involvement in Marxist groups earned him a lengthy FBI dossier; and he spent much of his life palling around with the sorts of drug addicts, prostitutes, and poor laborers who inspired and populated his novels and short stories. Most today know Algren as the radical, womanizing writer of The Man with the Golden Arm, which won the first National Book Award, in 1950, but award-winning reporter Mary Wisniewski offers a deeper portrait. Starting with his childhood in the City of Big Shoulders, Algren sheds new light on the writer's most momentous periods, from his on-again-off-again work for the WPA to his stint as an uninspired soldier in World War II to his long-distance affair with his most famous lover, Simone de Beauvoir, to the sense of community and acceptance Algren found in the artist colony of Sag Harbor before his death in 1981. Wisniewski interviewed dozens of Algren's closest friends and inner circle, including photographer Art Shay and author and historian Studs Terkel, and tracked down much of his unpublished writing and correspondence. She unearths new details about the writer's life, work, personality, and habits and reveals a funny, sensitive, and romantic but sometimes exasperating, insecure, and self-destructive artist. The first new biography of Algren in over 25 years, this fresh look at the man whose unique style and compassionate message enchanted readers and fellow writers and whose boyish charm seduced many women is indispensable to anyone interested in 20-century American literature and history.

  In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Niccolò Machiavelli, the father of modern political philosophy and author of The Prince, exploring justice and authority, fortune and power, love and fear, and good and evil.
