  The pursuit of speed has always captivated the human imagination, driving innovation and inspiring some of the greatest technological advancements in history. From the Wright brothers’ first powered flight to the jet-propelled marvels of the 20th century, aviation has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of what was once thought possible. Among these achievements, the fastest planes in history hold a special allure, embodying the pinnacle of engineering ingenuity and daring ambition.  
    
  This book delves into the enigmatic world of high-speed aviation, where myths and reality often intertwine. The fastest planes are not merely machines; they are symbols of national pride, strategic power, and the unyielding human desire to conquer the skies. Their stories are riddled with secrecy, as many of these aircraft were developed in the shadows of classified programs. Some remain shrouded in mystery, with questions about their true capabilities and existence lingering decades after their supposed flights.  
    
  Central to this narrative is the SR-71 Blackbird, an engineering masterpiece that redefined what it meant to be fast. Known as the "Habu" to those who flew it, this aircraft’s extraordinary performance—combined with its striking appearance—cemented its legendary status. Yet, the SR-71 is just one chapter in the larger saga of aviation speed. The rumored Aurora project, whispers of hypersonic successors, and the race to develop spaceplanes all contribute to a tapestry of intrigue that continues to evolve today.

  This is hands down the most heartbreaking and thought provoking historical novel about Khe Sanh and even the Vietnam War you will ever have the honor to read. Other books are easier to read, yet none of them will leave you a believer like this book will. It is January, 1968 and Ernest returns to Khe Sanh from R&R to the opening of the longest battle in the Vietnam War. He is a Korean American Marine Commander and the Rifle Commander of Delta 6, leading over 250 men through the toughest of battles and conditions. The siege at Khe Sanh went on non-stop for 2.5 months. Life was shrunken to full time living inside bunkers, watching rations and supplies slide out the back of cargo planes as they flew low past Hill 881 and finding ways to remain hopeful while being unable to use camaraderie or communications to keep it real. What is to become of the survivors of this incredible battle? 
  Seldom is the author so true to himself and the memory of those lost that he is willing to blind others with their own tears and shame rather than sacrifice what he knows to be the true story. At the end of the book, the author, Ernest Spencer was faced with having to identify a casualty from his battalion. He says," Rodriguez is gone and I am still here. Why? I feel fear wash through me. They die while I watch. Who will care? How long will they care?" 
  Listen to this story and learn the haunting truths. It will probably make you feel uncomfortable. Take a few more moments and try to imagine first living the story and then laying it down on paper. It is our debt to read this book, in honor of those who have given more than we can ever imagine. And to remember what really mattered: the men and women who served and sacrificed for a country that has remained ungrateful. This book is pages and pages of heart and soul - bare naked anger, hate, suffering and despair. You will feel the weight of the Vietnam War in your hands.

  The Persian Continuum

  The Persian Continuum traces how the Achaemenid Empire’s administrative genius, religious pragmatism, and infrastructural vision shaped a vast world stretching from the Aegean to the Indus—and how Alexander’s lightning conquests disrupted but did not erase that order. Through a sequence of richly drawn chapters, the book follows the Persian high tide under Xerxes, the long wars and negotiations with Greek city-states, and the empire’s resilient governance from Egypt to Bactria. It then charts Macedon’s rise under Philip II, Alexander’s campaigns and statecraft, and the striking continuity of Persian institutions under Hellenistic rulers. 
  Beyond conquest, the narrative explores what came after: Seleucid experiments in Greek cityhood layered over Iranian provincial rule, Parthian aristocratic federalism built on cavalry and caravan routes, and Sasanian resurgence with law, priesthood, and fortified frontiers. The final chapters bring the story into the present, revealing how Achaemenid ideas—satrapies and couriers, plural law and shared rituals, standardized coinage and road networks—continue to inform modern governance, diplomacy, and identity. Blending military history with economic systems, religious life, and everyday experience, the book illuminates how empires rise and endure, and how their vocabularies of order survive long after the names on the coins have changed.
