The Story Plant Commune of Women
Book SynopsisOn an ordinary Los Angeles morning, the lives of seven women are about to become inextricably entangled, as they converge upon LA International Airport for various purposes. Suddenly, the morning erupts into chaos, as black-clad terrorists charge into the terminal, guns blazing. As the concourse becomes a killing field, six of the women dodge a hail of bullets to find refuge in a tiny staff room. Betty, a Reseda housewife, Heddi, a Jungian analyst, Sophia, a rugged and savvy mountain woman, Erika, a top-level executive, Ondine, an artist just returning from France, and Pearl, an ancient bag lady, all traumatized or injured, barricade the door and cower down, hoping to survive. As four days drag by, their expectations of an early rescue dashed, the women find a way to dominate their panic and terror by telling their life stories. As their situation becomes increasingly grave, the women begin to reveal their most intimate secrets, as their stories descend deeper into the dark shadows of their lives-and they discover that part of survival is simply surviving one another. At the same time, in a similar small room close by, the sole female terrorist, dubbed simply X by her so-called Brothers, has the task of watching a bank of surveillance monitors. Apparently forgotten by her co-conspirators, she nevertheless is the best informed of the happenings in the outside world--happenings that are not easily understood. Why are the police and FBI so slow to respond? What has motivated this attack? Who are these terrorists and what do they want? And will the women survive to tell their tale? Answers to these questions slowly reveal the terrible web of conspiracy and deceit into which they all have fallen. But the most profound revelation of all is how each has betrayed herself.

Set in the MI5 world of Slow Horses, now an Apple Original series from Apple TV+ starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas.Two years ago, a hostile prime minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating “historical over-reaching” by the British Secret Service. Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so.But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn. Now the administration that created Monochrome has been ousted, the investigation is a total bust—and Griselda and Malcolm are stuck watching as their career prospects are washed away by the pounding London rain.Until the eve of Monochrome’s shuttering, when an MI5 case file appears without explanation. It is the buried history of a classified operation in 1994 Berlin—an operation that ended in tragedy and scandal, whose cover-up has rewritten thirty years of Service history.The Secret Hours is a dazzling entry point into Mick Herron’s body of work, a standalone spy thriller that is at once unnerving, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny. It is also the breathtaking secret history that Slough House fans have been waiting for.

Book SynopsisAmerica has fallen victim to the progressive ideology of the federal government. Years of open border policies have created unmanageable overcrowding on the east and west coasts. The nations health care system is in financial ruins, and rationed medical treatment is being dispersed through a government lottery system. Unprecedented taxation has broken the back of the middle class, and historic numbers must rely on government assistance. Major cities have become a shell of what they used to be, even a dangerous place to reside. Remnants of burned out buildings, boarded up businesses and crimes taking place in broad daylight are a result of police defunding and unchecked looting and rioting. The freedoms of speech and religion have been significantly restricted, with stiff penalties awaiting those who dare to defy.Presidential Executive Orders have become the new law of the land. Congressional powers to override the President''s wishes have been all but eliminated, leaving the United States a Republic in name only. Strict laws have placed criticism of the President or minority groups under the header of, Hate Speech, and anyone found engaging in such will find themselves standing before a federal magistrate.Numerous military Guard bases across America have been decommissioned and converted into Reeducation Camps. Untold thousands have been incarcerated in these camps for speaking out against the federal government or failing to comply with Executive Orders. They have been locked up void of due process, only to be released when complete and unchallenged compliance has been demonstrated.Perhaps the most profound overreach of the federal government has come in the form of the, Property Reallocation and Fairness Doctrine. The President has authored an Executive Order that directs government officials to begin seizing private property from citizens of the midwestern states, soon to be known as the, Middle States. The property is to be subdivided and gifted to illegal immigrants who have entered the nation, as a means to eliminate overcrowding in the coastal regions. This outrageous and unconstitutional act becomes the final straw for an elite group of military Guard members.Colonel Tuxhorn, an experienced military commander and aviator has orchestrated a covert plan to take back America. His daring mission is a nail biter that will keep you at the edge of your seat, as it solidifies the greatest Americans divide since the Civil War. It is a high risk, all or nothing objective to rein in an abusive federal government and regain the liberties that America once enjoyed. The success or failure will weigh heavily on the sharpened skills of his carefully selected team, and on the support of a united citizenship.Follow the story of the personal hardships felt by Evan Dupree and his family as they navigate the trials of an oppressive government, and the heartache of incarceration in a reeducation camp. Feel the tension and anxiety as the people of the Middle States take a patriotic stand for their rights and freedoms. Put yourself in the shoes of those fighting to preserve the exceptionalism of the greatest nation on earth, and ask yourself when and if our nation will ever descend into civil war again. If you share the concerns of the political divides that challenge us today, regardless of what side of the isle you reside, then this book is sure to send chills down your spine.
