Iran is bracing for war and poised to make an armed grab for regional hegemony. Its leadership in Tehran is preparing to play a secret military trump card. Long in preparation, Iran's nuclear warfare program has yielded an array of weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems to drop nukes onto targets in the Middle East and as far away as the continental reaches of the United States. Shock and awe air strikes have so far failed to destroy Iran's hardened weapons development facilities, its protected missile launch sites, or its bomb-proof and hard-to-find aircraft hangars. Iran's vast armies are also ready to march in human wave attacks against US bases in Iraq. Tehran is prepared to wage war and primed to win. Washington and the Pentagon have both proven utterly powerless to either negotiate a settlement or forestall Iran's aggression through effective military action. But there is an answer. Lightning assault by joint, combined arms strategic forces leveraging America's next-generation combat systems and advanced warfighting tactics in order to prevail against otherwise impossible odds.For Iran, the result is ... BloodbathReviewAcclaim for Bloodbath"Riveting ... powerful ... unbeatable..." -- Josh Stern, Globe Reviews From the Inside FlapAcclaim for David Alexander's Thrillers and Technothrillers"Under Attack is a global action thriller that works both as riveting fiction and as a case study in preparing for doomsday ... pistol-hot ... a must-read." -- Star Tribune"If America ever finds itself under attack again by terrorism it's a good bet it may resemble the disturbing visions portrayed in his thriller Under Attack. This is a great book because it extrapolates a future, however terrifying, from the events of yesterday and today. Alexander has managed to foretell a possible future "day of infamy" in prose as gripping as any of his contemporaries. He is an author whose work demands attention. His imagination is vast and his grasp of the myriad technological complexities of modern warfare and strategic politics, to name but a few, is startling in its extent. This is a strong book by a very special and very large talent. It's a book with the power to carry you along and make you wonder at its end." -- Gloucester Examiner"Blistering and brilliant, Chain Reaction is thriller fiction at its best." -- Camden News Service Views: 24

The stirring, bloody, and tragic saga that inspired such artists as Wagner, Borges, and TolkienWritten in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is the source of most of what we know of Norse mythology. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves, superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Its gods live with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its time scale spans the eons from the world's creation to its violent end. This robust new translation captures the magisterial sweep and startling psychological complexity of the Old Icelandic original. Views: 24
