Latah
Vietnam, 1965. A squad of American soldiers is deep in the La Drang Valley, marking bombing runs for air support. Straightforward enough, as missions go, but a shameful secret these men share weighs upon them, and in the jungle, danger lurks around every corner. When an unscheduled chopper drops off a reporter, the new face sparks off simmering tensions among the men. The surprises are only beginning, though, for soon they find themselves lost in a land with no night, mercilessly hunted by an inhuman creature... A gripping, horrific fable of violence, guilt, and the burden of trauma.
Belgian Rhapsody
Staatsgeheimen en gemene streken. Laatste nieuwigheid op de lijst: ‘gênante’ documenten ophalen bij een afgezette minister om ze in België te verbergen. Maar de Russen zijn betrokken bij de affaire en laten de kans niet schieten om de documenten te onderscheppen... Sisco is nauwelijks weer op de been, en de ontvoering van Manon kwelt hem nog steeds, maar toch moet hij snel zijn oude reflexen zien terug te vinden om de kogels te ontwijken.

Innovation Policy Challenges for the 21st Century
This exciting new book addresses how governments are now seeking to drive innovation through new forms of R&D policies, through public procurement, skills development, entrepreneurship and innovation culture to name but a few of the approaches. The volume debates and presents scattered and anonymous material in a coherent way, with a particular focus is on 'hot topics' in the field of innovation studies that have been previously under-researched. The book is divided into four key themes: government as a key actor in the innovation process, entrepreneurs as innovators, skills and competences required to maintain and improve innovation performance in Europe and finally, the wider context in which innovation policy develops.

Sisco - Volume 5 - Kalashnikov Diplomacy
When his troops come under fire from Albanian human-traffickers, the French President decides to ask the UN Security Council to step in—which means Sisco gets a trip to the Big Apple. However, what promises to be an all-in vacation, complete with classy embassy women, soon turns into a nightmare as the Albanian mafia and their suspicious US "partners" turn the high-level meeting into a no-holds-barred turf war. Nothing Sisco can't take in his stride, of course—except for the fact that someone close to his heart is caught in the crossfire...
DNA Profiling
This book explores an organic vision of company innovation, through an analogy with DNA and its four nitrogenous bases. Like all living organisms, a company has the fundamental "genetic" bases of its ability to innovate. This DNA mutates under both environmental influences and evolutionary factors allowing a company to develop new patterns of behaviour. At the dawn of the 21st century, the result of this process is the emergence of what we could call the hyperconnected company. Through this ongoing metaphor, the book provides decision-makers with several paths along which to increase their ability to innovate, taking advantage of genetic bases such as their own factors of change. The study is based on observations made of large companies, for whom innovation is an absolute imperative. It alternates theoretical analyses with concrete illustrations, and spotlights innovation leaders such as: Louis Vuitton, 3M, Bouygues Telecom, BNP Paribas, Siemens, Danone, Air Liquide, to name but a few.

Sisco - Volume 8 - In the National Interest
As ever with Sisco, it's a case of "out of the frying pan, into the fire." Having escaped (literally) from charges of conspiring with the Indian Secret Service, he finds himself being used as a scapegoat by another country's agents. But who is it this time? The trail leads to his opposite number in the Internal Security Service—and there's no love lost between them. There's little doubt Sisco will save the day once more, but will his unorthodox methods meet with official approval this time? It's about as likely as rain in the desert...
