Story
An inspiring, informative, and practical guide to navigating end-of-life issues, by a groundbreaking expert in the field and the New York Times best-selling author of Knocking on Heaven’s Door. Katy Butler argues that we have lost touch with the “art of dying” as practiced by our ancestors, yet we still hunger for rites of passage and a sense of the sacred, especially in the important life transitions of aging and dying.

Many thanks to Katy Butler for introducing me to the “last quarter of our lives”. I now understand this last quarter is more than a time to be alive before dying but a time we can live in, manage, be a participant and an influencer in and most of all love in to give us the ending we would want. Thanks Katy.

Story
Frederick Forsyth's spellbinding novels are the natural outgrowth of an adventuresome career in international investigative journalism. Written in Austria and Germany during the fall of 1971, The Odessa File is based on its author's life experiences as a Reuters man reporting from London, Paris, and East Berlin in the early 1960s.

Fascinating adventure from another age. At the same time, not so different than today’s adventures. Loved it.

Story
After 9/11, the United States made one of the most secretive and dangerous deals in its history. The evidence against the powerful Saudis who coordinated the attack would be buried. In return, King Faisal would promise to keep the oil flowing and deal with the conspirators in his midst. When the king's own nephew is discovered funding ISIS, the president suspects that the Saudis never intended to live up to their agreement.

Ripping story

I love Mitch Rapp anyway and was sad when Vince Flynn passed away but Kyle Mills is filling his shoes admirably. I think Enemy of the State is his second co-authored Mitch Rapp story and they just keep getting better.
Looking forward to more Mitch Rapp!
