From Mark Greaney, The New York Times best-selling author of Gunmetal Gray and a coauthor of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, comes a high-stakes thriller featuring the world's most dangerous assassin: the Gray Man.

Court Gentry's flight on a CIA transport plane is interrupted when a security team brings a hooded man aboard. They want to kick Gentry off the flight but are overruled by CIA headquarters. The mystery man is being transported to England where a joint CIA/MI6 team will interrogate him about a mole in Langley.

Cover design by Steve Meditz

" There is no one like me" Nailed it. Style, plots, chattracted s, locations, details. I was ready for a good red and this did not disappoint. Court and Zack play off each other like brothers and not just brothers in arms. Brewer is someone you love to dislike and at the same time understand how driven she is for mostly the right reasons. Looking forward to see how Zoya and Court "move on". Very much looking forward to the next chapter.Not up to standards Was excited to get this latest edition of the Gray Man series. The book has some very good parts but some parts leave plenty of room for improvement. Additionally, I did not like the ending at all. I would read it if you’ve read the whole series but if I started with this one I would not have read the earlier ones. Disappointing.CIA, M15, and Russian Sleeper Cells I am happily exhausted from reading “Mission Critical”. I am in awe of the ability of the author to have a cohesive, easily understood, but very complex storyline that is also full of almost constant action. Vengeance and insanity cause a man to plot a grotesque death for around 5000 top security people in the UK, USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND. Years in the planning, can anyone stop this when no one knows about it until the last moments?Courtland “Court” Gentry, also known as Violator, is a CIA contract agent. He is part of a small group handled by Suzanne Brewer, a skilled agent who hates her job. She is just one of the many interesting characters surrounding Violator. Besides the violence and action, there is a love affair, humor, and emotional turbulence. This book stands alone well, even though it is part of a series. This is a very exciting and entertaining read!

Title: The Surrendered Wife Pdf A Practical Guide To Finding Intimacy, Passion and Peace
Author: Laura Doyle
Published Date: 2001-01-08
Page: 288

Self-proclaimed "feminist and former shrew" Laura Doyle sets forth a whopper of a game plan for establishing profound intimacy in one's marriage. Building on the gender stereotypes defined by bestselling author John Gray (Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus), Doyle seeks to heal the overworked, underappreciated wife who snarls at her mate's every thought or action. Her message to these smart, self-sufficient types: check the nitpicking, the unsolicited opinions, and--egads!--the finances at the marital door (although she says it's still okay to wield control at work). Many women will find such advice archaic and offensive; some will simply laugh off this credential-free anachronism when they receive the book as a bridal-shower gag gift. Still others, identifying with Doyle's profile of a controlling wife, will be curious enough to dabble in her proposed art of "surrendering." According to Doyle, the wife who chooses to surrender must learn to take care of herself first, overcome the desire to have more power, and abandon the myth of equality. Delving into the personal tales and sisterly advice shared within each chapter's pages, surrendering wives will further note the need to master unsavory phrases like "I can't," and "Whatever you think"--tough to swallow for a generation of women who value their own opinions. While she fully acknowledges that a few bills will go unpaid and a few deadlines or freeway exits will occasionally be missed, she also insists that surrendered wives will encounter less worry and fear, more money, and better sex. Hey, "Whatever you think...." --Liane Thomas John Gray author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus The Surrendered Wife is a practical and valuable tool for women wanting to regain intimacy in their relationships.

A New York Times bestseller, this controversial guide to improving your marriage has transformed thousands of relationships, bringing women romance, harmony, and the intimacy they crave.

Like millions of women, Laura Doyle wanted her marriage to be better. But when she tried to get her husband to be more romantic, helpful, and ambitious, he withdrew—and she was lonely and exhausted from controlling everything. Desperate to be in love with her man again, she decided to stop telling him what to do and how to do it. When Doyle surrendered control, something magical happened. The union she had always dreamed of appeared. The man who had wooed her was back.

The underlying principle of The Surrendered Wife is simple: The control women wield at work and with children must be left at the front door of any marriage. Laura Doyle’s model for matrimony shows women how they can both express their needs and have them met while also respecting their husband’s choices. When they do, they revitalize intimacy.

Compassionate and practical, The Surrendered Wife is a step-by-step guide that teaches women how to:

· Give up unnecessary control and responsibility
· Resist the temptation to criticize, belittle, or dismiss their husbands
· Trust their husbands in every aspect of marriage—from sexual to financial
· And more.

The Surrendered Wife will show you how to transform a lonely marriage into a passionate union.

Waste of money & time. Nope. I thought this book would be based on biblical principles, but it isn't. This book is basically telling women, "Don't ever speak your mind to your husband. Just close your mouth and agree every single time." She goes so far as to say something along the lines of not correcting your husband if they're going the wrong way while driving and crossed state lines. What?! I'm sorry, that's absolutely absurd to not speak up. It is not disrespectful to say something like, "Honey, are you ok? You missed our exit back there..." She suggests shutting your mouth 24/7 and agreeing with pretty much EVERYTHING your husband says, as if he isn't human and prone to error, like we all are. You can still be very respectful and honoring towards your husband, yet still disagree. There were many times in my marriage where I didn't agree with my husband. However, I do choose my battles because I don't want to make him feel belittled or criticized over petty things. But you can bet your bottom dollar, he knows how I feel about things that are most important to me. But I do have a voice and I think it's okay within your marriage to share that. My 2 cents.Another part of her book, which was the point where I decided I wasn't going to continue reading it anymore was when she wrote on p. 52 beneath, Responding To His Crazy Ideas, "... Instead, say with as much kindness and sincerity as you can muster, "Whatever you think" when he is telling you his ideas... If he thinks the kids should learn how to ski, and this sounds dangerous to you, say, "Whatever you think." "I'm not saying skiing is dangerous or that I wouldn't let my husband take our kids to learn how to ski, but where do you draw the line in not speaking up? Women have motherly intuition for a reason. When our son was 2 years old, he developed sleep apnea due to enlarged tonsils. At the time, we didn't know it was sleep apnea. His pediatrician said to give him time to grow out of it because they usually outgrow it by age 5. When I brought this up to my husband, he'll be the first one to tell you he didn't think it was anything serious. When age 5 came, I realized that something was wrong - he had a lot of delays, including delayed growth and it was was due to the sleep apnea that went unnoticed, which was causing him to be deprived of oxygen during his sleep. After our son caught a cold and I actually laid next to him in bed and heard him sleeping and knew something was wrong with his breathing, I brought it up again to my husband and he still didn't think anything was really wrong. But I knew better. I took him in to get a sleep study done and he ended up having really bad sleep apnea and had to remove his tonsils and adenoids. What if I did nothing because I didn't trust my gut and agreed with him it was nothing? So again, where do you draw the line? I'm not trying to point fingers, but I am trying to point to the fact that we're all human and prone to make mistakes. It's irresponsible to our children to not advocate for them if we feel like something is wrong, even if it means disagreeing with our husband. Trust me, a husband who loves his wife will hear her heart. It's not being a nag when you expose your fears and concerns with him. When I told my husband, in tears, that I truly believed something was wrong with our son, he told me to do what I thought was best. He did that because he trusts me as a mother and because he's a great man who actually does listen. I totally disagree with her position that "no matter how dangerous" you perceive something to be, that wives need to always stay silent. That can be detrimental.Then again, she had some major control issues she exposed in this book so maybe that's why her pendulum is swung in the most extreme direction. Not allowing her husband to plan a date? Telling his barber how to cut his hair? What to wear? Come on - now of course, if you're doing that, you need to change. I definitely agree for the most part that we shouldn't correct, criticize, belittle, interrupt, control, etc.., but she is confusing surrendered with another word that's synonymous with doormat.I guess I should've read more of the 1 star reviews before purchasing. My bad.Trust me, I understand submission. I am a Christian and know my role as a helper to my husband. I stay home and raise/homeschool our 3 kids. I understand that because I'm home most of the day, I am primarily responsible to take care of the household work. But my husband cares enough to help often. I respect my husband very much. I got this book to learn more about surrendering over a particular situation, but this book was a complete waste of money and time. (I can't even finish reading it.) If you found it blessed your marriage, more power to you. I feel like it wasn't the book I was looking for.You'll get more from reading what the Bible says about husbands and wives: Husbands, love your wives. Wives, respect your husbands.But respect doesn't mean becoming a brainless, mute doormat.Disappointed. Want my opinion? Don't waste your time or money. I'm off to purchase a book a friend highly recommended by the top marriage therapist in Israel called Garden of Peace - there's a book for the man and one for the woman, written by Rabbi Shalom Arush.(I am a Messianic Christian. The above author is Jewish, not Messianic, but my friend said there's much to be gleaned despite his religious status.)Freedom In Surrender!!!!! YES. Kinda Nailed It! This book helped radically change the way my husband and I function in our marriage. I guess you can jump on the current feminist movement and demand that it's all about you, but then it's all up to you. Seems like a lot of pressure to add to today's busy woman. Women don't realize the power that comes from shutting up. Gentle strength. As the author points out toward the end of the book, that surrender to a higher power will enable you to give over the reins to a human must easier. This is essential. There is no way I could give the control to someone whom I've seen make bad decisions if I didn't believe that Jesus is the one truly in control.Is this book a fix-all to a complicated relationship? No, but it's a start. I love the little tips throughout the book helping the rubber meet the road. Pride comes before the fall, setting yours down to have a successful relationship will help you get to the old, in-love couple that we all admire.Trying to run the world your way will lead you to a mental breakdown and shear exhaustion. This book helps you see that really we have little control over things in this life. Might as well have a lovely relationship while we are here.I few things I learned with this book as a guide.This book is full of extremely practical and excellent advice, that can be applied to any relationship This book is not about surrendering yourself as a person and becoming a dishrag to your husband. This is about learning how to surrender you overbearing qualities, and your need to always be right and always be in charge, and learning how to give your husband subliminal messages, just by being a nicer, more patient person. This book is full of extremely practical and excellent advice, that can be applied to any relationship. This is a highly recommended book!

Title: Cradle to Cradle Pdf Remaking the Way We Make Things

Paper or plastic? Neither, say William McDonough and Michael Braungart. Why settle for the least harmful alternative when we could have something that is better--say, edible grocery bags! In Cradle to Cradle, the authors present a manifesto calling for a new industrial revolution, one that would render both traditional manufacturing and traditional environmentalism obsolete. Recycling, for instance, is actually "downcycling," creating hybrids of biological and technical "nutrients" which are then unrecoverable and unusable. The authors, an architect and a chemist, want to eliminate the concept of waste altogether, while preserving commerce and allowing for human nature. They offer several compelling examples of corporations that are not just doing less harm--they're actually doing some good for the environment and their neighborhoods, and making more money in the process. Cradle to Cradle is a refreshing change from the intractable environmental conflicts that dominate headlines. It's a handbook for 21st-century innovation and should be required reading for business hotshots and environmental activists. --Therese Littleton Environmentalists are normally the last people to be called shortsighted, yet that's essentially what architect McDonough and chemist Braungart contend in this clarion call for a new kind of ecological consciousness. The authors are partners in an industrial design firm that devises environmentally sound buildings, equipment and products. They argue that conventional, expensive eco-efficiency measures things like recycling or emissions reduction are inadequate for protecting the long-term health of the planet. Our industrial products are simply not designed with environmental safety in mind; there's no way to reclaim the natural resources they use or fully prevent ecosystem damage, and mitigating the damage is at best a stop-gap measure. What the authors propose in this clear, accessible manifesto is a new approach they've dubbed "eco-effectiveness": designing from the ground up for both eco-safety and cost efficiency. They cite examples from their own work, like rooftops covered with soil and plants that serve as natural insulation; nontoxic dyes and fabrics; their current overhaul of Ford's legendary River Rouge factory; and the book itself, which will be printed on a synthetic "paper" that doesn't use trees. Because profitability is a requirement of the designs, the thinking goes, they appeal to business owners and obviate the need for regulatory apparatus. These shimmery visions can sound too good to be true, and the book is sometimes frustratingly short on specifics, particularly when it comes to questions of public policy and the political interests that might oppose widespread implementation of these designs. Still, the authors' original concepts are an inspiring reminder that humans are capable of much more elegant environmental solutions than the ones we've settled for in the last half-century.

A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism

"Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world?

In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are).

Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.

A must own for all creatives A wonderful book of ideas regarding design (not design ideas lol).I'm an aspiring architect & really appreciate how the author explains everything. I read this in a library in 2 visits & am buying a copy for my personal library. The ideas shared in this book are invaluable for anyone in every facey of design (from clothing to cars). 100% recommend to anyone.What every consumer should read An eye-opening historical documentary on the progress of technology, and how we underestimated its impact on the environment. This author not only takes you on a journey back to how many pollution and waste issues arose, but also guides us to how to be better consumers and run our businesses with the environment in mind. These are easy, logical solutions that benefit us as individuals as well as help the environmental issues.
