Regime Change
They framed his sergeant. Sherman’s not buying it. When Sergeant Raylan Gournsey is arrested for murder in Equatorial Guinea, it looks open and shut: Naked. Drugged. A body beside him. The local police waste no time calling it solved. But Captain Frank Sherman doesn’t believe in coincidences. The deeper Sherman digs, the clearer the setup becomes—and the more dangerous the players. Mercenaries, foreign agents, and power-hungry politicians are all feeding the chaos simmering just beneath the surface. And Gournsey? He’s just bait. But Sherman doesn’t care. He’s getting his man out—no matter what it takes. Regime Change is the sixth explosive mission in the Frank Sherman Thrillers Series—where loyalty counts, politics kill, and justice is anything but clean. Fans of Jack Reacher, The Gray Man, and Mitch Rapp will be hooked. _____________________________________________________Praise for the Frank Sherman Thrillers series:? “Frank Sherman is the ultimate action hero.”? “Fast paced and action packed from beginning to the very end.”? “Another excellent story!

If she wins, she can have anything she wants. Even, perhaps, Hiraya’s heart. But the manor is sprawling and nightmarish, crawling with insects and rotting from the inside out.

She must stay hidden until morning, but can she make it through the night?
Happenstance
A dead friend. A dirty town. And one man who won’t back down. Captain Frank Sherman rolls into a dusty Northern California town to visit his oldest friend—only to find him dead and the sheriff's story full of holes. The deeper he digs, the more bodies pile up. Crooked cops. A corrupt sheriff. A town so rotten it’s begging to be burned down. And Sherman? He’s just the man to light the match. What starts as a simple visit becomes a full-blown reckoning, as a special forces vet turns his skills loose on anyone who stands between him and the truth. Happenstance ignites the Frank Sherman Thrillers Series with no-nonsense grit, explosive action, and a hero readers call “Reacher on steroids”. If you love relentless justice and a body count that just keeps rising—this is your next obsession. ___________________________________________Praise for the Frank Sherman Thrillers series:? “Jack Reacher lovers look out.

After Escobar
Renowned DEA agents Chris Feistl and Dave Mitchell tell the incredible true story of how they helped dismantle the world’s single most powerful crime syndicate, as featured in Season 3 of the hit Netflix series Narcos.By the early 1990s, Colombia’s Cali cartel had become what the former head of the DEA Thomas Constantine referred to as “The biggest and most powerful crime syndicate in history.” Responsible for nearly 85% of the cocaine that reached U.S. soil and 90% worldwide, they were untouchable, earning billions of dollars all while maintaining their reputation as ‘The Godfathers of Cali” and brazenly corrupting thousands of Colombian authorities and government officials, even “buying” the outcome of the 1994 presidential election. In 1994, the DEA sent young operatives Chris Feistl and Dave Mitchell to Colombia with one formidable task: help Colombian authorities take down the ruthless leaders of the brutal Cali cartel. Not any easy job for two men who looked more like tall, lanky surfers than DEA agents: standing well over six feet tall and only six years removed from the DEA Academy, they were the epitome of conspicuous in a city where most residents rarely, if ever, saw an American in person. Many of their colleagues feared for their safety, openly questioning their ability to blend in. Their almost three-year journey would lead them from the bureaucratic halls of the U.S. Embassy to the violent streets of Cali and deep into its rural sugar cane fields, on high alert day and night as they dodged deadly cartel assassins and oftentimes worked unilaterally to battle the unprecedented corruption within Colombia’s security forces. Over time their relentless efforts began to slowly degrade the godfathers’ defenses and weaken their infrastructure.

The One - A tökéletes pár
Meddig mennél el, hogy megtaláld az igazit?
Nem kell hozzá más, csak egy egyszerű DNS-teszt. Gyorsan mintát vesz az ember, és már össze is párosítják a DNS-párjával - azzal, aki genetikailag neki rendeltetett. Ezt ígéri a DNSPárod nevű alkalmazás.
Tíz évvel ezelőtt egy nagyvállalat bejelentette, hogy megtalálták azt a gént, ami párosítja az embereket a lelki társukkal. Azóta világszerte milliók találták meg a DNS-párjukat. Azonban ennek a felfedezésnek megvannak az árnyoldalai: a teszteredmények miatt számtalan párkapcsolat bomlott fel, valamint a feje tetejére állították a klasszikus értelemben vett románcot, randevúzást és szerelmet.
Öt nagyon különböző ember kap értesítést arról, hogy megtalálták a DNS-párjukat. Mindegyikük hamarosan találkozni fog az igaz szerelmével. De nem mindenki fog ,,boldogan élni, amíg meg nem hal". Mert még a lelki társaknak is vannak titkaik. És némelyik bizony sokkolóbb, mint azt bárki sejtené...
Ez a lebilincselő regény bemutatja, hogy még a legtökéletesebb felfedezéseknek is lehetnek súlyos következményei.
