Harvest
American writer Jake Bauer faces an ultimatum from his agent: stay in a Paris apartment and don't venture outside until he finishes his latest book. But Alice should have known better than to expect Bauer would follow orders. Instead, he stops in London and enjoys an evening of lighthearted debauchery before sobering up aboard a houseboat moored in the Thames. It's then he meets Tessa, a French woman who delights him with her charm, beauty, and wit. In a moment, she's gone, and it's up to Bauer to track her down. But at what cost? When he finds her, Bauer discovers Tessa is not all she appeared to be. She's also suspected of being involved in a murder. The best of Europe, wine, and romance make Harvest a thrilling mystery full of surprises.
Jack Bauer for President
Jack Bauer for President: Terrorism and Politics in 24 looks at the way "24" reflects, distorts and comments upon our modern political landscape. "24" is one of the most gripping, dramatic and addictive shows on television, but how much of it is realistic? And what does the show have to say about modern politics and foreign policy in America's fight against terrorism? The book takes on the show's images of terrorism, government and politics, as well as the ethics and effectiveness of counterterrorism practices. Does it take a terrorist to fight a terrorist? How much do "the people" have a right to know in life-threatening circumstances? How effective do we really want our heroes to be? Addressing these issues and enriching the "24" viewing experience are authors prominent in fields ranging from philosophy, psychology, political science and counterterrorism. Each contributor was so passionate about the show that we did not have to resort to the threat of electrical wires, heart defibrillators, chemical injections or old-fashioned bone breaking to get our information!
