A vicious murder at sea begins a series of deadly events stretching from Europe to the Middle East and Africa. International conspirators plot to send a shipment of goods to an undisclosed destination, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. A concealed world of deceit and lies is populated by an international assassin, a brutal ship's captain, criminal businessmen, rogue scientists, and ruthless government representatives. Standing in their paths is Bavarian Kommissar of Police Franz Waldbaer, assisted by a team of CIA operational specialists and a capable, if prickly, female Austrian police official. The stakes are high and the time is limited to prevent an incident with major international implications. From the alpine peaks of Germany to the alley ways of Azerbaijan, from CIA headquarters in Virginia to the sweep of the North Atlantic, the pace is furious as malevolent and murderous players do all within their power to defeat the forces of order arrayed against them.
Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials, Volume 2: Proceedings of the 2014 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the second volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental Mechanics, including papers in the following general technical research areas: Metallic, Polymeric and Composite Materials o Effects of Extreme Environments including Radiation Resistance, Damage, and Aging o Challenges in Time-dependent Behavior Modeling of Low, Moderate and High Strain Rates o Effects of Inhomogenei...

From former CIA operative John J. LeBeau The Collision Trilogy: CIA operative John Hirter and Kommissar Franz Waldbaer collaborate to defeat terrorism when it threatens the bucolic countryside of Bavaria. In Collision of Evil, vestiges of the Third Reich meet the Islamic terrorists of today head-on in the Alps; in Collision of Lies, a powerful multinational group conspires to provide Iran with nuclear weapons; and in Collision of Centuries, the bubonic plague—now in the hands of terrorists—threatens to plunge the world into the Dark Ages. All three are chilling, terrifying, and stunning international thrillers about deadly intentions with horrific consequences— and the unbridled heroism of two men, an American CIA agent and a German detective. These “Collision” espionage thrillers had to be cleared by both the CIA and the NSA.
