|  | | American for Sale: The Demise of ISIS
It’s a sight so normal that it almost fails to shock anymore; a westerner in an orange jumpsuit being paraded in front of a camera by ISIS.
Bret Lee, an American college professor kidnapped in China and smuggled to Syria, finds himself in that perilous predicament as a looming prelude to being either sold for $10 million or beheaded by a twisted ideology. Could he turn the tables on his captors and become a spy who brings ISIS down? If you love espionage thrillers, especially one laced with geopolitics, the CIA, a sexy female Kurdish warrior, a bloody gunfight in the Iraqi desert, and super-secret Tweets, don’t miss this book. | |  | | Ghost of Africa
Bret Lee must capture or kill a terrorist about to shoot down passenger planes.
The word among spook circles is that someone wants to buy ten surface-to-air missiles. Known illegal arms sources won’t risk it. Citizen-spy Lee gets recruited to find him and shut him down.
His plan is to fool the terrorist into believing that Lee can supply the missiles, if he can be found. Bret play-acts as a rich playboy arms dealer, gambling in Monte Carlo, Macao and South Africa casinos, waiting to “be found” by the terrorist’s associates. Bret’s wife, Chu-lin, plays the logistics and social media role for the gambit back in the states, while Zhu, her brother, joins the field mi | |  | | Pondering Life's Imponderables
An engineer ponders aspects of life related to a hot news topic that keeps today's press and talking heads buzzing: The ever ongoing divergence between evolutionary and creationist viewpoints.
Written as a personal-thought narrative, this short nonfiction book was designed to stimulate readers to probe the deep recesses of their own minds, seeking to awaken an awareness of certain aspects of their existence and the world around them that they have probably never seriously considered. Once addressed, the reader's introspection will probably reveal some personal thought queries that have no definitive answers. Absolute answers about abstract topics such as "beauty," "infinity," "the origin of matter," "death and the afterlife," or "God" are hard to come by. They are truly impondera | |  | | Spy Mates
Another rip-roaring entry into the genre of Spy Fiction that pits the wits and skills of an American engineer against the oil greed of China.
After 20 years working for the U.S. Army Research Center, Bret Lee, a 44-year-old chemical engineer retires to look for work in private industry, only to learn that in the tough 2010 economy, he’s unable to find a job in his chosen field. But thanks to a quasi-government contact from his past, he’s offered a high-paying job with a Venezuelan fertilizer company just outside Caracas. There’s only one catch; he has to become a spy.
Bret and his Chinese wife, Chu-Lin, accept the challenge, and both become enmeshed in the military, political and diplomatic aspects of life within the mo | |  | | Young Again...and Again...and Again
