Scorpius Rex
Petroleum engineers drilling in the African desert uncover a pocket of mysterious, life-preserving gas, and the hellish creatures hibernating within-a colony of ten-foot prehistoric scorpions. After 400 million years, Scorpius Rex has risen to reclaim its throne as Earth's apex predator. A humanitarian mission gone awry traps Dave Brank's security team inside the drilling complex's electrified perimeter, locked in a life or death battle against hordes of flesh-eating scorpions. Brank, a decorated soldier unjustly drummed out of the army, is determined to save his men and the neighboring village. But outside the fence lurks another kind of monster-renegade commandos with a barbaric plan to lure the scorpions out . . . by feeding them women and children. Only Brank's team can stop the slaughter and, just maybe, save the world. Unfortunately, these aren't elite Delta Force Operators; they're mercenaries-battle-scarred mavericks who kill for a paycheck, not to save mankind. But with humanity's survival at stake and Brank calling the shots, even these hired guns can become heroes.

He did everything to undermine his brother's regime. But by 1944 the Gestapo were hunting him down like a dog. Did Hermann step in and save his brot...
Edmund Burke of Beaconsfield
At the height of his career he identified himself to a passing stranger as "Burke of Beaconsfield," and at the end of his life, he chose to be buried in the small church of St. Mary's All Saints Beaconsfield rather than in Westminster Abbey. In many and complex ways Beaconsfield is an essential key to the Edmund Burke who defined himself as the embodiment of Cicero's "new man" and whose marital relationship with Jane Nugent Burke sustained, nurtured, and drove him throughout his political career.".
Burke and the Nature of Politics
Edmund Burke in recent years has assumed extraordinary stature in American political thinking as the father of neoconservatism. In this book, the first of a two-volume biography of this eighteenth-century English statesman, Mr. Cone brings important new evidence to his thesis that during the age of the American Revolution Burke was significant more as the politician and the party man than as a systematic political philosopher. This volume deals with Burke's career to 1782, when the Marquis of Rockingham, to whom Burke had attached himself seventeen years earlier, stood once again on the threshold of the prime ministership. In this period Burke was the voice—and frequently the behind-the-sc...
