A fundamental component of the financial industry sectors, choices trading gives financial backers opportunities to fence gambles, create pay, and project on cost changes. Unlike traditional stock trading, choices trading gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to exchange a basic resource at a foreordained cost either beforehand or on a specified lapse date. Usually used by merchants, institutional financial backers, and portfolio managers to monitor danger and enhance portfolio execution, these agreements are known as choices.

When Angriff awakened in a world where America no longer existed, he vowed to resurrect his beloved country.

It’s kick ass time again! When the Last Brigade begins its mission of rebuilding America, they find enemies on all sides. In nearby Prescott, Arizona, a maniacal warlord proclaims himself the legitimate successor to the USA. To the east lurks the strange religious cult named the Caliphate of the Seven Prayers of the New Prophet, which kills anyone who doesn’t convert. And why is a Chinese military vehicle found to the north? In a tornado of exploding metal, Nick Angriff risks everyone and everything to save the innocents he has sworn to protect.

Lt. General Nick Angriff has spent his adult life protecting family and country from a world of terrorism spinning out of control. On the battlefield, off the grid, in clandestine special task forces and outright black ops, Angriff never wavers from duty.

Against the day of national collapse, a heavily armed military unit rests in cryogenic storage....

But Mercs of all species know that if you head to Southwest Houston, near the Starport, there’s a particular run-down strip mall that looks like it’s been abandoned for years.

Austria's fate held major ramifications for postwar Europe and the entire free world, yet there is no complete account of the campaign written in English. Given the scale of the fighting and the scope of the consequences, this book fills a major gap in the literature of World War Two.

It was this massive force that made General Dwight Eisenhower change the entire focus of American ground operations to cut off Germans from retreating into the National Redoubt.
