Resumen del Editor
Just another day in America.
On May 1, 2001, a group of radical Islamic terrorists crash a Boeing 737 jet airliner into the Mall of America—and Vice President Robert Hornsby knows his moment is coming. The attack kills three thousand American citizens and throws an entire nation into a panic, but all Hornsby sees is an opportunity, a chance to imprint his fanatical values on the soul of the country he loves and become the most powerful vice president in American history. With the aid of his affable but ineffectual president; the reluctant, conscience-stricken secretary of defense; and a preening, foppish faith leader with more than a few skeletons in his closet; Hornsby declares war on terror—and anyone who stands in his way. But as media scrutiny of the administration’s actions overseas intensifies, Hornby’s one-man campaign against evil begins to unravel—with striking parallels to the thirteenth century’s doomed Fourth Crusade—and sends the nation spiraling toward another deadly tragedy. The American Crusade paints a grim and often cynical picture of America’s recent past, reflecting the attitudes, politics, and fears that shaped our nation in the new millennium. By sampling the contemporaneous French text on the Fourth Crusade, On the Conquest of Constantinople, author Mark Spivak reminds us of that ever-vital adage: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Fans of The Castle by Jason Pinter, The President Is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson, House of Cards by Michael Dobbs, The Whistler by John Grisham, and the Aaron Sorkin–penned TV drama The West Wing will love this book. This book is for anyone who likes reading about:

Historia
Now that the devasting pandemic has subsided, and the election is over, Americans are eager to return to normal. But, with a stunning decision, the Supreme Court has just thrown the country into pandemonium. Under a shroud of chaos and despair, lines are drawn, and sides are chosen. As the United States begins to unravel, rogue militias march across the nation closing borders and threatening citizens. Laws are flagrantly broken by those who vowed to uphold them. Innocent citizens are kidnapped, some are killed. And, the US President is calling the shots. In disparate corners of the country,...

Jared Diamond's COLLAPSE inspired this alternate history that takes place during the American Civil War, and tells the story of eight people who come together after the battle between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. Using the money they earned by tricking the U. S. Government into buying more Monitor-class ships, they attempt to escape the war and retreat to "paradise," Easter Island. However, this paradise has been transformed by the natives into a human ecological disaster and monument to pagan fertility rights and even cannibalism. Through the inventiveness and labors of the main ...

Historia
The war for freedom rages globally. The resistance withstood the opening salvo from the Global Economic Union, but not without significant cost. However, as the debris is cleared and dead bodies cool, a new type of conflict will emerge in the world: one with no designated armies and hundreds of scattered frontlines. Bryson and Amit must spearhead the efforts of the barely-recovering resistance to navigate a labyrinth of conflicts, not all of which will be kinetic. Together, they must decide which conflicts to intervene on, and which ones to stay out of, knowing full well that the wrong ...

Historia
The Second World War has begun. Harold Cavill travelled back in time to try to change history to prevent the war in 2040 that caused man's extinction. At first, it was hard to tell if Harold's efforts have even made a real difference at all. But as the war raged in Europe and the Pacific, some dramatic differences in the course of history began to appear. But will the changes that Harold has inspired made humanity's future safer or even less uncertain?

What if pro-slavery Democrats kept their party united and won the election of 1860? What if Jefferson Davis became President of a pro-slavery Union, while Abraham Lincoln must decide whether to fight for a new birth of freedom outside it? In this alternate history, there will be no secession of the South. But what about the anti-slavery men in the North? Will the United States, now styled “The Confederate Union,” still be their country? “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that ...

What can anyone say about meeting a sibling you've forgotten that you even have? What do you say when they come to you for help? I didn't have any idea, that's for sure. Bau's arrival so soon after my recent victory in securing a long term stay on Earth, was nothing if not disruptive. Or so I thought at the time, but I had no idea how right I really was, 'disruptive' did not begin to cover it. Chaotic? Mad? Dangerous? All seemed better words. Bau's plea for help was not for her, but for 'her humans'. The surviving remnants of the people who once lived in Chicago, a forgotten people who ...

At present, she lies dead, but that is sure to change.
