25. Deutscher Familiengerichtstag

One honest answer changed everything.

Fresh out of medical school, a young doctor applies to the U.S. Army Medical Corps, expecting a safe posting and a chance to serve. On a routine form, he reveals he reads and speaks Russian. Within days, his life is changed forever.

Flagged by military intelligence, he is invited to have dinner with two men who vaguely share they are "with the Department of Defense." What begins as an interview becomes recruitment. What begins on land, races toward open water and pulls him into a covert Cold War operation no one can know exists.

From the shattered legacy of the Battle of Leningrad to the frozen dangers of the Bering Sea, the mission hurtles across borders and oceans, into enemy territory and the deepest shadows of the Iron Curtain. What begins as a rescue mission turns into a life and death pursuit where the doctor must rely on his medical training, his mastery of language, and his instincts to survive.

Fast-moving and packed with suspense, this high-stakes spy thriller delivers a clandestine adventure on the high seas where secrets kill, loyalty is lethal, and one man's knowledge could tip the balance of the Cold War.

PRAISE FOR THE SHATTERED CURTAIN: 
"A sweeping Cold War drama that transports readers from the tense corridors of Agency headquarters to a spy ship in the icy Bering Sea, through perilous encounters with the Soviet Navy, and deep behind the Iron Curtain. The author's command of aeronautical and nautical detail, combined with an insider's grasp of Russian language, espionage tactics, and CIA-KGB maneuvering, infuses the novel with authenticity. The result is a fast-paced, atmospheric thriller that blends action, history, and intrigue in equal measure."-Captain William Uberti, Captain USCG (Ret), Past Adjunct Professor of History, Central Texas College; Served aboard USCG Cutter, Decisive, participating in numerous hazardous weather rescues."Conroy spins a rip-roaring Cold-War yarn in the best tradition of Graham Greene and John le Carré. Set in the frigid waters between Alaska and Eastern Siberia, the novel tells a deeply human story while also capturing a tense game of cat and mouse between the CIA and KGB."¿Andrew Wachtel, Ph.D. World-renowned specialist in the culture and history of Russian, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia; acclaimed academic administrator, currently creating the pilot campus for Vision University, Almaty, Kazakhstan.

A Psychological Suspense Thriller

The Shattered Curtain

'A captivating story of love and adventure, thrumming with secrets' Lucy Steeds, author of The Artist 'Moves elegantly back and forwards in time, and across the world from Paris and London to the Antipodes . . . beautifully written' Sunday Times 'A compelling tale . . . blends historical fiction with high adventure and romance' Guardian 'Like a fine vintage of champagne, this novel is complex, layered, and delicious' Kate MacIntosh, author of The Champagne Letters Caroline examines a stolen map. And there she finds it, at the edge of the Western Hemisphere, a black mark at the 30th latitude smaller than a flea: Norfolk Island. Her Aunt thinks she's a fool for wanting to follow her father to the other side of the world. He is no longer the man who taught Caroline about philosophy, apothecary and dreamt of returning to the France of his childhood. He is a convicted murderer, mad, deported, condemned. But, when she understands that Caroline is determined, her Aunt has one piece of advice: she must leave her past behind and invent a new story. In 1839, Caroline lands in Van Dieman's Land, a young widow of means with a boy in her care. In this insular colony of exiles and opportunists, no-one talks too much about their past. Caroline leases a run-down cottage and abandoned vineyard and, on this island of extreme seasons and wild beauty, she embarks on a fearless enterprise to reclaim her father, create champagne, and rewrite her family's legacy. Travelling from Paris to Edinburgh, London, New York and to Tasmania, The Great Act of Love is an epic story of hope and self-invention.

And that Madison may have let Bree enter Ametrine, but she has no intention of ever letting her leave . . . Kelsey Day’s gripping debut shows that while best friends know each other the best, ex–best friends know how to hurt each other the worst.

Introduction to Quantitative Economics

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.
