Back to Somalia

Ethan Breaux, call sign Cajun, has been flying charters out of Bristol, England for two years. His life as a civilian pilot has been going very well after many years of flying Special Ops missions in Army helicopters. Cajun is sought out by the CIA to coordinate then execute a super clandestine military style operation into Mogadishu, Somalia to retrieve a North Korean nuclear weapon hijacked by Pirates at the behest of Hezbollah Islamic terrorist.
He reluctantly agrees to take on the dangerous mission only after learning that Savannah, the love of his life, is being held on the outskirts of Ethiopia. She is a nurse and has been taken along with an Ethiopian nurse by Somali Islamic soldiers to treat their wounded.
Cajun brings together all his Special Operations buddies from the old days. The U.S. Government provides everything needed in the way of military helicopters because the U.S. cannot set foot back in Somalia after the failed Battle of Mogadishu of 1993. The story moves from England to Oman, then into the Cradle of Mankind in the depths of darkest Africa.
The realism in the execution of multiple military skirmishes involving air to ground firefights could only be written by someone who has pulled the trigger.

How Humanity Lost the Natural Way of Walking and Ended Up with Poor Posture and Back Pain: A Comprehensive Research into Contemporary and Centuries Old Books and Paintings Showing How
Price range: $3.99 through $13.99How many times as we were growing up were we told to “put your shoes on”? It sounded like a sensible idea. Ever since durable footwear became more widely accessible a few generations ago, individuals have valued the protection they provide. It changed the way people walked since they were no longer concerned about the discomfort of walking on rough or pointy surfaces.
You’ll notice that your walk changes from walking in shoes to walking barefoot. When you walk barefoot, you take extra care to land on your toes so they can act as shock absorbers. You most likely walk erratically in shoes, stomping on the ground and landing on your heel because you’re afraid of stepping on something sharp. You are aware that your shoes will keep your feet safe. However, wearing shoes more often and going barefoot or in light shoes less has had an unanticipated effect on most people’s poor posture and back pain.
Discover a tried-and-true, yet mostly ignored, healthy walking technique by reading this book.

Bible Lessons for Broken People
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99This is a book to hand to a broken teenager captured by pills, pot, or meth. This is a book for a woman from an abusive background who feels unworthy of love. This is a book to hand to a recovering addict, desperately seeking Tough, forceful, and poignant. This is exactly the Bible-study book ministers and Christian counselors have been waiting for! So very many people in the modern world are deeply broken – some are so broken that they refuse to even enter a church. Whether victims of child abuse, neglect, addiction, or sexual exploitation, these broken people, young and old, are crying out for help even as their fierce pride forces them to refuse any help that is offered. When pride is all you have, pride is what you cling too. These broken individuals have lived in hell already, and that fierce, desperate pride kept them alive even as it now blocks their progress.
For those deeply broken people, this book is the answer. It speaks to the brokenness – directly to the heart of the darkness that many broken people feel with each breath, speaking with an authentic, direct message of Jesus’s love and compassion. The Roque Warriors document at the first of this book grabs the broken reader by the throat and lets those individuals know that many others have been in their situation before and have found help in these pages. The Bible lessons themselves tackle the harshest issues facing people today: fear, frustration, a complete, desperate sense of aloneness, homosexuality, child sex abuse, the problem of evil, contemplations of suicide, overwhelming guilt, dark rage, unforgiving hatred, and the deeply felt need to find peace amid the darkness of one’s lost soul. This book does not mince words, and the most challenging issues facing broken people today are presented and discussed herein using the Bible and, when possible, Jesus’s own words.
The minister or counselor should discuss each lesson with these broken ones, leading them through these pages as the broken grow stronger in their newly-found hope: their faith. Even when they read alone without a counselor, this book can reach broken people. It could be a gift for many. It will be a lifeline for some.
As Christians, we know that Jesus can and does change even the most broken lives. This book, presenting Jesus’s love and compassion, will help him do exactly that.

Espionage In Miniature
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Jake Barrada worked as an undercover intelligence agent in a super-+secret government organization called The Bureau of Research and Information Acquisition or BRIA.
Now Jake had assignment that was unlike any of his previous missions. The mission objective was a building in a remote Upstate wooded area. American intelligence sources suspected that the building was the headquarters of a terrorist organization. The building was an impenetrable fortress and no one could get in or out without being detected.
The masterminds in the BRIA organization designed a machine that could reduce Jake to the size of a rat. As a miniature man he would fly onto the roof of the enemy fortress on a drone and make his way down the HVAC duct into the interior of the building. Once inside, he would penetrate the large computer and install listening bugs and transmitter devices into the circuitry then get out without being discovered.
The plan looked foolproof on paper, but what would happen when Jake actually tried to execute it?
