Peace before DestructionUploaded: 08/27/2009 by nathancage Book - Drama, Foreign, Political Events surrounding synchronized terrorist attacks bring former Tel Aviv police detective Eli Heber and young Mossad agent Yoram Tal together
to help Israel hunt for those responsible. The evidence they uncover points to a connection between the Israeli mafia and an evangelical Christian leader in America. But the investigation comes with costs to the two men, as Heber’s wife is murdered as a warning to stop his work, and Yoram’s stability is shaken when his father-like mentor may also have been a victim of the attacks. Pressing on, the two contend with mafia thugs, Hezbollah insurgents, a Palestinian mercenary, and an anxious Israeli military that is ready to take retributive action against the wrong target. The men learn that the mafia, who had lost access to Palestinian resources after a peace agreement between Israel and Palestine, tried to recapture its territory by destroying the peace using funds from unknowing evangelical ministries in America and the brutal force of the mercenary to remove those in its way. By the time the investigation is finished, the two men have developed a father-son-like bond that helps them overcome the greed, hate, and carnage that surround them.

African RoosterUploaded: 11/20/2007 by allfools Book - Drama, Foreign, Political Jed’s new home, Lesotho, is a country nearing collapse from crippling drought and whispers of revolution. After Jed teaches his
host-brother and confidant Tsediso how to grow a high-grade marijuana, Tsediso disappears. Abandoning his CARE work, Jed’s search leads to South Africa—from dangerous laborer flats to the city morgue, from city hospitals to shady bars. He finally learns that Tsediso is languishing in prison where beatings and abuse have left him a shell of a man. Desperate, Jed seeks help from the one man Tsediso has told him never to contact—Ernest Ntiska, a crooked associate of Tsediso’s who is also aiding the opposition forces in Lesotho. With Ntsika’s blood-money and the help of a corrupt cop, Johann Luyt, Jed buys Tsediso’s freedom, but in the process saddles Tsediso with crippling debt. The pair returns to Lesotho just as rebels seize the government and the violence convulses the country. Their already tenuous loyalties are tested, and when Luyt shows up in the village in the midst of a violent storm, Jed must choose between saving himself or his brother.
