The Last of the President's Men

Bob Woodward exposes one of the final pieces of the Richard Nixon puzzle in his new book The Last of the President’s Men. Woodward reveals the untold story of Alexander Butterfield, the Nixon aide who disclosed the secret White House taping system that changed history and led to Nixon’s resignation. In forty-six hours of interviews with Butterfield, supported by thousands of documents, many of them original and not in the presidential archives and libraries, Woodward has uncovered new dimensions of Nixon’s secrets, obsessions and deceptions. The Last of the President’s Men could not be more timely and relevant as voters question how much do we know about those who are now seeking the presidency in 2016—what really drives them, how do they really make decisions, who do they surround themselves with, and what are their true political and personal values?**

Anarchy Found (SuperAlpha #1)

WHAT IF... you fell in love with a supervillain?Everyone needs a hero. That's what Detective Molly Masters tells me. "What we need," she says, "what the whole world needs," she pleads, "is a champion." The only thing I want to talk about with Molly Masters is how I'd like to make her scream my name when I push her up against a wall, slide my hand up her thigh, and live out my wildest fantasies. "Someone who will fight against injustice," she says. I'll fight against anything you want, honey. Just come a little closer. "Someone who will stand tall in the face of adversity," she says. I'll do it standing, sitting, or lying down. See how easy I am? "Someone who believes in the value of a good deed," she says. I believe in the value of me, sweetheart. Because I'm Lincoln Wade. Jaded genius, obscenely wealthy, capable of violence, and looking for revenge. Molly Masters might have delusions of grandeur. She might see me as some superman capable of cleaning up the scum, filth, and corruption in Cathedral City. But I'm not the hero she's looking for. I'm the dark alley where all her good intentions hide. So be careful what you wish for, Molly Masters. Because you're about to get it. Anarchy Found is a superhero romance by New York Times Bestselling Author JA Huss. It was written for adults. For science fiction fans - there is sex. For romance fans - there is science fiction.
