Vysloužilý mariňák Sam Dryden, truchlící nad ztrátou manželky a dcery, se jedné noci při běhu po pláži setká s vyděšenou jedenáctiletou dívkou, kterou pronásleduje skupina mužů. Dryden se s ní skryje a zjistí, že dívku chtějí zabít na pokyn mocného muže s kontakty na nejvyšších místech amerických bezpečnostních agentur. Tento muž má k dispozici moderní sledovací techniku, včetně nových satelitů Miranda, a může mobilizovat ozbrojené složky v jakékoli oblasti. Dívka byla několik měsíců držena na drogách a je obětí pokusů dvou konkurenčních zbrojních firem, které vyvinuly schopnost číst myšlenky a další dovednosti. V současnosti trpí amnézií, která by se měla do týdne vrátit, což je pro její pronásledovatele nepřijatelné. I když mají o Drydenovi informace, jeho překvapení je neustále zaskakuje. Dívčiny schopnosti hrají klíčovou roli v jejich úniku. Záhadná věž na přenos mobilních signálů umístěná uprostřed vyschlého jezera v poušti také skrývá tajemství, které se postupně odhaluje.

Uprostřed noci zavolá bývalému příslušníkovi speciálních sil Samu Drydenovi jeho někdejší kolega a naléhavě žádá o pomoc při tajné a bezodkladné misi. Dryden souhlasí a oba spěchají ke srubu v divočině na úpatí Sierra Nevada. Dostanou se do srubu a zachrání čtyři dívky, dřív než jim únosce stačí ublížit, a uprchnou s nimi do hor. A právě tehdy začíná Sam Dryden tušit, že s celou misí to bude jinak, než se na první pohled zdálo.

The book explores the profound impact of broken promises made by white settlers to Native American tribes, particularly focusing on the Oglala Sioux Chief Red Cloud's perspective. Through historical analysis and personal narratives, it delves into the themes of land dispossession, cultural resilience, and the ongoing struggle for Native rights. The quote encapsulates the betrayal felt by Indigenous peoples as they confront the consequences of colonization and the loss of their ancestral lands.

Leadership rotation is explored as a strategic approach that can drive positive change and enhance organizational effectiveness, particularly in a private international school in Hong Kong. The study reveals that when implemented alongside transformational leadership models, this strategy fosters a better school culture and boosts outcomes by introducing new ideas and creativity over a three- to five-year period. While the focus is on educational settings, the insights gained are relevant for various business organizations, highlighting both potential benefits and challenges of leadership rotation.

An expressive language, not unlike Ruby or Python, it compiles into standard JavaScript without modification and is a great choice for complex web applications. It runs in any JavaScript-enabled environment and is easy to use with Node.js and Rails. CoffeeScript in Action teaches you how, where, and why to use CoffeeScript. It immerses you in CoffeeScript's comfortable syntax before diving into the concepts and techniques you need in order to write elegant CoffeeScript programs. Throughout, you'll explore programming challenges that illustrate CoffeeScript's unique advantages. For language junkies, the book explains how CoffeeScript brings idioms from other languages into JavaScript

From the author of Runner, Sam Dryden comes under attack from unknown forces as an unremembered episode from his past threatens more than just his life.

For decades, inexplicable technology has passed into our world through the top secret anomaly called the Breach. The latest device can punch a hole into the future ..."What Paige Campbell saw when she opened a door into seventy years from now scared the hell out of her. She and her Tangent colleagues brought their terrible discovery to the President - and were met with a hail of automatic gunfire after leaving the White House. Only Paige survived.Fearing a terrifying personal destiny revealed to him from the other side of the Breach, Travis Chase abandoned Tangent ... and Paige Campbell. Now he must rescue her - because Paige knows tomorrow's world is desperate and dead, a ghost country scattered with the bones of billions. And Doomsday will dawn in just four short months ... unless they can find the answers buried in the ruins to come.But once they cross the nightmare border into Ghost Country, they might never find their way back ...

The anomaly called the Breach is the government’s most carefully guarded secret. But there is another secret even less known . . . and far more terrifying. As the U.S. President addresses the nation from the Oval Office, a missile screams toward the White House. In a lightning flash, the Chief Executive is dead, his mansion in ruins, and two cryptic words are the only clue to the assassins’ motives: “See Scalar.” Now Travis Chase of the covert agency Tangent—caretakers of the Breach and all its grim wonders—along with partner and lover Paige Campbell and technology expert Bethany Stewart, have only twenty-four hours to unearth a decades-old mystery once spoken of in terrified whispers by the long since silenced. But their breakneck race cross-country—and back through time and malleable memory—is calling the total destructive might of a shadow government down upon them. For Travis Chase has a dark destiny he cannot be allowed to fulfill . . .

Thirty years ago, in a facility buried beneath a vast Wyoming emptiness, an experiment gone awry accidentally opened a door. It is the world's best-kept secret-and its most terrifying. Trying to regain his life in the Alaskan wilds, ex-con/ex-cop Travis Chase stumbles upon an impossible scene: a crashed 747 passenger jet filled with the murdered dead, including the wife of the President of the United States.Though a nightmare of monumental proportions, it pales before the terror to come, as Chase is dragged into a battle for the future that revolves around an amazing artifact. Allied with a beautiful covert operative whose life he saved, Chase must now play the role he's been destined for—a pawn of incomprehensible forces or humankind's final hope—as the race toward Apocalypse begins in earnest. Because something is loose in the world. And doomsday is not only possible...it is inevitable.
