The Angola Deception : DC Alden
The Angola Deception
“A STORM IS COMING. AND IT’LL WIPE THIS EARTH CLEAN.”
Roy’s Sullivan’s world is falling apart. His wife and son have deserted him. His brother Jimmy, a private military contractor, has vanished into thin air somewhere in the Iraqi desert. All Roy has left is a dingy apartment and a low-paid job at London’s Heathrow airport. And now even that is under threat.
Sammy French, a violent criminal, is in need of a favour, one that a suddenly compromised Roy has no choice but to grant. Forced to take part in a perilous criminal conspiracy, Roy’s future is bleaker than the run-down estate he lives on.
Yet as the walls close in around him a mysterious stranger enters Roy’s crumbling world, a former Navy Seal who knows the truth about the Nine Eleven attacks, a man haunted by demons and hunted by powerful forces, a man who holds the key to the mystery of Jimmy Sullivan’s disappearance while guarding a covert facility deep in the Iraqi desert.
For Roy, this troubled and dangerous stranger will come to represent his only chance of escape, not only from the uncertainty of his brother’s fate and the clutches of a vicious gangster, but also from the coming storm, one that threatens to decimate humanity and usher in a ruthless and terrifying New World Order.

It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting : Lisa Orban
It’ll Feel Better When It Quits Hurting
Many years ago my friends and I would sit around and play what we called “Jerry Springer: the Home Game”. The object of the game was to see how many upcoming shows we qualified for, with the story to support our claim, and whoever had the most at the end of the program won. I was the reigning champion.
This book started off as just a lighthearted collection of anecdotes, stories shared with friends over the years to both the horror and delight of my audience. But as I began to write I realized that the humor of my life comes not from the light moments, but the dark, and without those moments being included much of the humor would be lost without that context.
This book is a bit darker than I initially intended, but I hope that while reading this I can make you smile, even on occasion laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of the situations I have found myself in over the years, and that you, like me, can find the humor in all the dark places.
I do not believe I have any wisdom to share in this telling, nor is it even an inspirational tale of achievement by overcoming adversity, it is simply my life that I have survived. For better or for worse, this is the mostly true, fairly accurate, and almost completely factual account of my life.
Some liberties have been taken to protect the somewhat innocent and a few small embellishments were made for the sake of a good story.
