Blind Target
In the modern day, a squad of 1950s Russian commandoes is discovered frozen in a receding Alaskan glacier. Special Agent Codi Sanders and her partner, Joel, are tasked with returning the bodies to Russia, but their operation suddenly gets complicated. The revelation of these dead soldiers brings a long lost secret operation to light in which Soviet special forces infiltrated an Alaskan island in 1957. What was their mission then, and is America at risk now? These concerns ignite a life and death struggle with a ticking clock and the security of the world at stake. Codi is smart, brave, and good at her job, but she might not be prepared for the windfall of violence coming her way. She will go to the brink of disaster and back as her team is now on a collision course with a maniacal general, hellbent on making China the world’s only super power.

In an Abusive State
In an Abusive State puts forth a powerful argument: that the feminist campaign to stop sexual violence has entered into a problematic alliance with the neoliberal state. Kristin Bumiller chronicles the evolution of this alliance by examining the history of the anti-violence campaign, the production of cultural images about sexual violence, professional discourses on intimate violence, and the everyday lives of battered women. She also scrutinizes the rhetoric of high-profile rape trials and the expansion of feminist concerns about sexual violence into the international human-rights arena. In the process, Bumiller reveals how the feminist fight against sexual violence has been shaped over rec...
