A Neanderthal’s 47,000-year-old remains are found in Spain. That’s not unusual, but positioned beside the woman’s skeleton is something that shouldn’t be there — a robotic drone. Lincoln Woodhouse has some explaining to do.
When confronted with the evidence, Lincoln cannot deny that the drone is one of his own models. After all, he routinely jumps his drones into the past to collect environmental data. The problem is, this drone shouldn’t even exist in Lincoln’s universe. Everyone knows sending a drone into the past creates an alternate timeline.

She gets drunk on the plane ride home and spills her guts to the horrified, yet cute passenger next to her. When the plane lands, the flight attendant threatens to have Megan arrested if she can’t walk off the plane, so what’s a nice guy like Josh supposed to do?

Garrett totally screwed up when he left Blair, but now that fate had put her in his path, he’ll do ANYTHING to win her back. Even if he stops her wedding.

Only when she’s at the altar and he hasn’t come, she realizes she needs to save herself.

When he tries to stop her wedding, fate intervenes, but now he has the chance to prove to Libby they belong together. Will she take a gamble on love?

Cal Shepard was trained by the government to be a hunter of other assassins. He’s the tip of the spear in the war on terror and a master of tradecraft after 16 years in black-ops. Now, the first three volumes in the riveting Search and Destroy Series are available in one boxed set.
Book One, Search and Destroy
When Cal Shepard is assigned to be a consultant for the Burke Corporation, a US defense firm creating a software-targeting database of terrorist threats, he thinks his time in the field is over. As an expectant father and with a battle-torn body, he’s more than ready to settle down for a while in the quiet suburbs outside of DC. Days before the database is supposed to go live, he is framed for murder and becomes the target of a nationwide manhunt.
But he’s not about to disappear… not without exacting revenge. With an FBI task force on his trail and a group of hired guns needing to take him down before he can uncover the truth, Shepard realizes that the network of corruption extends to the upper echelons of the government.
Applying his well-honed skills from years of search & destroy missions, Shepard takes the fight to the enemy, methodically hunting down those responsible and dispensing his own brand of justice.
Book Two, The Perseus Protocol
Everyone thought former CIA operator Cal Shepard had permanently gone dark until he reappeared in India, setting off a deadly pursuit that will stretch Cal to his breaking point as he attempts to track down the originator of Perseus’ source code. Little does he know that there is more than one ruthless party who wants the device in his possession, and they’re willing to destroy anyone who gets in the way.
In an all-out race to reintegrate Perseus’ unique software into the mainframes back in the U.S. before an impending terrorist attack on American soil, Cal must take the fight to the enemy once more in the explosive follow-up to Search and Destroy.
Book Three, Critical Response
It started out as a straightforward rescue mission… Save an abducted scientist before he’s killed by a Mexican cartel.
Only nothing goes according to plan when Cal Shepard and the Critical Response Team insert into the heart of Mexico and realize that they’ve walked into a tangled web of shifting loyalties and a threat that originates from across the globe.
With their exfil route blown, they have to evade through miles of treacherous desert while cartel henchmen and a lone Chinese hitman with his own country’s agenda entangle their efforts to escape as they race to thwart a deadly attack along the U.S. border.

The Inquisition: A History From Beginning to End (Medieval History)
by Hourly History
Genre: History | Education & Teaching
FREE for a limited time
The Roman Catholic Inquisition was one of the most controversial organizations in human history. Although it has been painted in a negative light, the Inquisition was too broad in scope to define as simply good or bad. It was a period where conflict and bloodshed were inevitable. It was a time where war, famine, plague, and poverty were common factors of human life. From the 1180s to the 1830s, the Inquisition was the judicial arm of the Catholic Church. Created to root out and punish heretics within the Catholic faith, the Inquisition became an institution that would carve its name into history.
