The Mahdi: The Fourth in the Cooch Series of National Security Thrillers
"From IPPY gold medal winner Robert Cook comes the fourth installment in the Cooch series. With all the classic elements of a spy thriller—intrigue, violence, sex—The Mahdi is a narrative geopolitical battlefield where Islamic and Orthodox Jewish ideologies clash, seen through the lens of a modern, liberal Muslim. Raised in a blend of Bedouin tradition and Western education,Alex Cuchulain, Cooch, is a former US Marine, CIA operator, and entrepreneur. Partnered with Dr. Caitlin O’Connor, the self-described “smartest person in the world,” they make an unlikely yet formidable duo. When Alex takes on a mission to reclaim stolen Bedouin land, he finds himself imprisoned and branded a criminal. Meanwhile, Caitlin faces her own dangers, becoming the target of an extremist plot. But the rules of warfare change forever when Caitlin condenses an electromagnetic pulse into shootable ammunition and deploys an AI chatbot–quantum computer that can use the internet to control secure Israeli communications and provide strategic intel. As tensions escalate, some begin to believe that Alex may actually be the Mahdi, the prophesied redeemer of Islam. But can he shoulder that mantle? And can technology and enlightened thinking prevail over entrenched dogma?"
Robert Cook (Author), Becky Parker, Carrie Brewer, Jeremy Michael Durm, Michael Reaves, Ryan Edlinger, Sarah Smithton, Walles Hamonde (Narrator)
Audiobook
"The scope of Columbia--the first epic saga of our country's final courageous thrust into the continental unknown, the Pacific Northwest--is as massive as the Columbia River itself. The story begins nine thousand years ago, when the river was new, and unfolds in a magnificent family portrait spanning five generations, from the end of the eighteenth century to the present. At the head of ancient family is Ilchee, a Chinook Indian princess married to a white trader, who founds a dynasty of rare courage; Caleb, her son, who must learn to live in the white world of Fort Vancouver; Suzanna, who makes the arduous trip across the continent, battling humiliation, death, and even love; Isaac, their son who builds a logging empire only to discover that destiny, not timber, is king; Ning Ho, Isaac's Chinese mistress, who teaches him even more of life than of pleasure; and finally Will, who rejects his father's vision to power his own--the building of the Grand Coolie Dam--and Leona, his wife,, whose secret threatens to destroy everything the family has worked to create. Columbia is a rich, vivid canvas of heroes and scoundrels, of men and women and their dreams of land, gold, timber, salmon, and power--dreams that begin when a nomad hunter kills a mastodon and ends with an archaeology team working frantically to uncover evidence of that kill before the Columbia's waters rise to cover the past forever--and a family destiny that proves 'some things must be believed to be seen.' Pamela Jekel is a nationally-known novelist with four NY Times bestsellers, twelve novels that have been translated into sixteen languages, including Braille, Large Print Editions, and Kindle. Library Journal hailed Columbia as 'a well-researched novel of drama and passion', and 'historical fiction at its best.' Publishers Weekly praised its heroine as 'a living breathing, three-dimensional character.' Winner of the Southwest Historical Fiction award."

Aphrodite: Captivating Greek Myths and Facts Involving the Olympian Goddess of Love
"Did you know that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was also associated with the sea? Born from a strange mixture of divine blood, severed genitals, and seafoam, Aphrodite washed up on the shores of Cyprus long before the emergence of her fellow Olympians. A figure who is as petty as she is relatable, she is not only a key deity of the Greek pantheon, but she is also a central figure in many of the myths we know and love today. With influences possibly rooted in the goddesses Ishtar and Astarte, there are scholars who believe that the concept of Aphrodite was imported to Greece from the Middle East or West Asia. Contact between cultures might have led to her incorporation into the main Greek pantheon, with her foreign origins explaining some of the regional differences regarding her birth and personality. While her connections to beauty and love are her most well-known attributes, places like Sparta and Cyprus also viewed her as a war goddess. This audiobook focuses on myths that are either centered around Aphrodite or feature her as an important character. Because of her volatile nature and quick temper, Aphrodite could just as often be a force for good as she could be a force for evil. While it would be impossible to gather all the different stories related to Aphrodite in their entirety in one collection, this audiobook provides a nice, if somewhat modest, the assortment of narratives that display different facets of this fascinatingly complex goddess. Some of the myths you’ll discover in this audiobook are: - Aphrodite’s birth and unexpected marriage - The life and death of Adonis - How Psyche and Eros’ love defied divine wrath - Pygmalion’s arrogance and his unusual mistress - The beginnings of the greatest war ever fought Scroll up and click the “add to cart” button to learn more about Aphrodite!"
