A romantic thriller full of suspense and emotion
Revisado: 04-08-23
Burning Distance by Joanne Leedom-Ackerman is a captivating story that transports readers to the 20th century and explores the political tensions of the era. The protagonist, a young woman, is determined to build a life for herself while struggling to reconcile her present with her past. Through her story, we are taken on a journey of self-discovery as she unravels the secrets of her family's history. Joanne Leedom-Ackerman explores the theme of hope and redemption by showing how the protagonist is able to move past her past and embrace her future. The ending of the book is particularly powerful, as it symbolizes a new generation of hope and peace. Burning Distance is an incredible read that I would highly recommend.

From two former military officers and award-winning authors comes a chillingly authentic geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034 - and the path from there to a nightmarish global conflagration.

A Brilliant Thriller
Revisado: 03-15-21
A horrifying story about potential wars between the leading world powers and what could happen, if countries can't manage their differences in a not so distant future. I highly recommend this novel to anyone, but especially to those who take peace for granted.

Historia
Aziz and his older brother, Ali, are coming of age in a village amid the pine forests and endless mountains of Eastern Afghanistan. There is no school, but their mother teaches them to read and write and once a month sends the boys on a two-day journey to the bazaar. They are poor, but inside their mud-walled home, the family has stability, love, and routine. When a convoy of armed men arrives in their village one day, their world crumbles.

The choices we make
Revisado: 04-18-16
Any additional comments?
Everything has its price! Does it? How much does a human life cost and who determines what is it? What would you do, if both of your parents were killed, your house destroyed, and your brother handicapped because of an explosion carried out by someone you don’t even know?! Would you seek vengeance on an unknown enemy for the death and maiming of the loved ones by joining the war? An eye for an eye.. A vicious circle… Where does it end? or does it go forever until we are all blind? Are you a believer in “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”? Or, do you forgive and forget?
“Green on Blue” is a wonderfully emotional, inspiring and eye-opening story about a young man, named Aziz, who becomes a victim of the circumstances. A victim of the horrors of modern day war in Afghanistan, he learns that the enemy that he fights is an “invented" enemy; one created by the “higher powers” to support the war effort. Vividly written and beautifully narrated, the story takes us to a different world, a world of a foreign soldier who has to make difficult choices to survive. If you are interested in getting another perspective about the events you often learn about from the news, “Green on Blue” is a great choice.

Historia
Forget the old concepts of retirement and a deferred life plan. There is no need to wait and every reason not to, especially in unpredictable economic times. For living more and working less, this book is the blueprint. This expanded edition includes dozens of practical tips and case studies from people who have doubled their income, overcome common sticking points, and reinvented themselves using the original book.

Highly recommended
Revisado: 05-18-15
I've been lucky to travel the world having the job I like. This book exceeded my expectations and inspired me to do more with my life. It has a lot of practical recommendations on how and where to start. I recommend if to everyone I know. I wish I read it 10 years ago. Thank you, Tim!
