Set against the backdrop of World War II, a groundbreaking cold fusion invention, the "Big Light," becomes the target of a deadly pursuit. Professor Peter Wagner's creation is hidden within an Austrian monastery, guarded by a priest whose legacy is threatened by dark forces. Vatican investigator John Nowalski, armed with faith and forensic skills, teams up with Janine Wagner, the priest's great-granddaughter, to recover the formula. As they confront a South American syndicate and North Korean assassins, they must navigate treachery to prevent a global catastrophe.

This volume is a polemic for freedom - or more concretely, for a liberal criminal law in Common Europe. In the conflict between security and freedom, the fragile constitutional criminal law is in danger of being crushed completely. The populist concept of promising total security destroys the very foundation of what it hopes to secure. The consequence is: Freedom is surely dying with security! The national differences within the European Union seek a common and reliable justification of liberal criminal law principles in a common European constitution. A minimalist but absolute constitutional criminal law is the „crash test dummy“ that will be sacrificed in the interest of the European integration process. European criminal law principles partially proved themselves with a promising philosophical start over several centuries, especially in Britain and France. However, they have been eroded, and now must prove themselves fully. Even worse, if these principles are ignored, the idea of a „United Europe“ vanishes. Never forget: It is freedom that constitutes the foundation of unity. Freedom brings about security. This is what this polemic demands.

sector reform (SSR) in practice. In the ten years (1997 - 2007) covered in this volume, Sierra Leone transitioned from open conflict to a process of consolidation and development that culminated in the successful general elections of 2007. SSR is understood as being at the heart of this change. Security Sector Reform in Sierra Leone 1997 - 2007: Views from the Frontline seeks to shed new light on this process by giving a voice to stakeholders that were intimately involved in SSR efforts within Sierra Leone. Contributions from both UK and Sierra Leonean personnel provide authentic perspectives that enable us to draw important lessons from a dynamic and evolving relationship between national actors and the wider international community.
