Beschreibung

In "The Second Pearl," Mike Bentley delivers a gripping military thriller that propels readers into a terrifying near-future conflict between the United States and China. When American intelligence agent Jennifer Duncan discovers a massive secret Chinese military operation inside a mountain cavern, she sets in motion a chain of events that will reshape the global order.
 
As China faces dwindling resources and an environmental crisis threatening starvation for millions, its leadership launches "Operation Unity" – a daring plan to seize control of the Western Pacific using a fleet of disguised container ships carrying tanks, troops, and devastating drone technology. When these "Dragons" simultaneously attack ports across the Pacific Rim, from San Diego to Sydney, the world is caught completely unprepared.
 
With U.S. carriers sinking, Taiwan under assault, and Chinese forces storming ashore in Vietnam, Korea, and the Philippines, President Spencer Stilwell faces impossible choices. His only hope lies with a desperate mission led by Tim Duncan to kidnap Chinese leadership and force a ceasefire before nuclear options are considered.
 
Meticulously researched and terrifyingly plausible, Bentley crafts a pulse-pounding tale of espionage, sacrifice, and modern warfare that serves as both thrilling entertainment and sobering warning. "The Second Pearl" examines the fragile balance of international power and what happens when a nation crosses the line from competition to conflict.

An ancient underground pipeline and an enigmatic stone sphere will represent two puzzles that are difficult for the young couple of researchers to solve.  
    The discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds by Andrea and Lucia, will bring us back as usual, to follow the events of the Jesi’s characters of the sixteenth century, their ancestors. The printer Bernardino dictated his last will to a notary before his death, but this is of little interest to the heirs of the Marquis Franciolini and the Countess Baldeschi. The Marquis Alessandro Colocci, husband of Countess Laura Baldeschi, will turn out to be a grim and cowardly character in the service of Pope Paul III, but he will have to deal with the young scion of the Franciolini family, Francesco, very determined in trying to regain possession of the title of Captain of the People, assumed by the Marquis Colocci only by virtue of the fact that he married his older sister Laura.

    French Girl with Mother is a provocative, propulsive thriller that marries the spirit of James Salter with a hint of Patricia Highsmith and the velocity of The Art Forger. 
    Nathan is a young artist traveling across Europe in search of the emotional fire that has been missing from his work. He’s been deemed by his mentors and critics to be technically skillful but uninspired—criticisms he fears to be true. On a Paris street, he witnesses the volatile breakup of a young French woman and her beau. Nathan pursues a meeting with the woman, and it very quickly becomes evident that her provocative charisma and scathing beauty just may conjure the electricity he has been seeking for his work. So when the woman invites him to her parents’ crumbling, centuries-old chateau in the country to allow him to sketch her, he accepts, knowing that this proposition is both ill advised and thrilling. 
    Once enveloped by this isolated estate, a door opens to a world for which Nathan is not prepared—a world heralded by the arrival of the young woman’s family: her mother, a volatile, voracious former ballerina; her father, a mysterious businessman with secrets of his own; and her uncle, who might be trafficking in art forgeries.
