Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "This is the worst night of my medical career."Shaun Smit and his family arrived in America filled with the hope of a fresh start. But only two months after stepping off the plane, their new life shattered. His nineteen-year-old son, Jesse-a fit, disciplined competitive swimmer-was diagnosed with a massive, aggressive abdominal tumor the size of a saucepan.What followed was a harrowing six-month battle against an "impossible" medical reality. While Jesse faced grueling chemotherapy and a life-altering surgery with the tenacity of an elite athlete, Shaun fought a private, parallel war.In this raw and deeply personal memoir, Shaun Smit pulls back the curtain on the "strong father" archetype. He invites readers into the hospital corridors at 2:00 a.m., the parking lots where his faith buckled, and the dark living rooms where he wept in secret while clinging to worship songs on repeat.I Was Falling Apart is more than a story about surviving cancer; it is an honest exploration of: The Tension of Faith: How belief and absolute terror can inhabit the same heart at the same time.A Father's Helplessness: The agony of watching a child suffer and the realization that staying present is sometimes the hardest-and most important-thing a parent can do.Hidden Preparation: How years of "unrelated" discipline and quiet spiritual promptings were actually God's way of arming a family for their darkest valley.Jesse didn't just survive; he thrived. But the road to that miracle was paved with tears, financial terror, and the kind of fear that never truly leaves.If you are currently in your own valley-scared, exhausted, and trying to believe-this book is for you. It is a reminder that you are not alone, that miracles are still possible, and that even when you are falling apart, there is a hope that holds fast. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eleven-year-old Mira Okafor has a real job now at Shackleton Base - but nothing has prepared her for watching her own mother suit up for the base's first crewed spaceflight.The launch window opens in fourteen days. It stays open for three. Miss it, and the next chance doesn't come for another four months - orbital mechanics doesn't negotiate, and neither does the calendar.When a flaw is discovered deep inside the Ferry's ascent system days before liftoff, Mira and her friend Dae-Jung are pulled into the fix - not as an exception this time, but because they've earned it. Under pressure, Mira has to learn a harder lesson than the one that shaped her before: sometimes the bravest thing isn't asking for help. It's speaking up before you're sure you need it.Meanwhile, deep in a two-billion-year-old ice core, something is waiting that shouldn't exist at all.Grounded in real orbital mechanics and spaceflight engineering, The Narrow Window is a story about trust, honesty, and the kind of pressure that doesn't bend just because you need it to. Each chapter closes with a short science note connecting the story to real spaceflight research.Book Two in the Shackleton Base series. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eleven-year-old Mira Okafor has spent the last six months earning real trust at Shackleton Base. Now Earth wants her - and the rest of the crew - to help solve the strangest mystery the base has ever uncovered.Buried deep in two-billion-year-old ice, a trace of processed metal shouldn't exist at all. When the excavation survey begins, Mira and her friends find something far stranger than an anomaly: a sealed structure, fifty-three years old, deliberately left off every record anyone has ever found.Director Osei arrives from Earth with more caution than answers, certain the site hides something an old institution worked very hard to bury. As the team digs deeper - through a structural collapse, a dangerous rescue, and a logbook that stops mid-sentence - they piece together the story of an accident, a warning that went ignored, and the people who paid for it.What they uncover isn't a mystery about impossible science. It's a mystery about a decision someone made a long time ago, and what it costs when the truth stays buried instead of being learned from.Grounded in real impact geology, archival science, and the true, ongoing history of engineers who spoke up and weren't heard, The Sealed Record is a story about honesty, institutional accountability, and what it means to finally set the record straight. Each chapter closes with a Field Note connecting the story to real science and history.Book Three in the Shackleton Base series. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. CIA analyst Maya Zhao and NSA cryptographer Dr. Ethan Cross arrive in Malta for one week of nothing. No brief. No operation. No reason to be watching when a man dies on a harbor terrace on Day Three.But Maya was sixty feet away. And she saw the four seconds before he fell.Elias Voss was a financial architect. A quiet man who built shell company chains for people who needed their money to be somewhere it couldn't be traced. He was also nine days into a classified CIA debrief that Maya didn't have the clearance to know about, being run by a case officer she'd never heard of, on an island she'd chosen for her vacation by accident.The killing mechanism leaves no trace. The local authorities close the case in twenty-two minutes. A stand-down order arrives through legitimate channels, from real authority, faster than the institution can move under normal conditions.None of it is an accident.Someone in the highest levels of Maya's own agency knew three things simultaneously: the debrief was running, it was classified above her clearance, and she was on the island. The intersection of those three pieces of knowledge points to one position. One person. A mole operating not against the institution but through it - routing, not fabricating, which is far harder to prove and far more dangerous to expose.Maya and Ethan have no infrastructure, no clearance, and a wall on every official approach. They have each other, a legal pad, and eleven days to build something that can't be suppressed through the same channel that's already trying to stop them.The weapon left no trace. The evidence will have to build itself.The Adjacency Protocol is Book Four in the Maya Zhao & Ethan Cross Series - a standalone intelligence thriller that deepens the series' central arc.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What if the code that protects the world. becomes the weapon that destroys it?When a breakthrough in quantum computing threatens to shatter global encryption, the world's financial systems hang by a thread - and the clock is already ticking.Maya Zhao, CIA intelligence analyst, has spent eighteen months tracking a covert quantum program in China. When the lead scientist goes rogue and sells the technology to a powerful criminal network, the threat snaps into focus: This isn't espionage. This is financial warfare on a global scale.To stop it, the agency needs the one man who understands the threat better than anyone alive.Dr. Ethan Cross. Brilliant cryptographer. Former NSA prodigy. The man who vanished five years ago, two weeks before their wedding.Now, locked in a secure safe house with 72 hours to prevent total economic collapse, Maya and Ethan must build a quantum-resistant countermeasure before the world's financial architecture falls. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes - a shadowy figure known only as "the Broker" is pulling strings from the shadows, and Ethan is hiding a past decision that connects everything.A decision that could destroy them both.Maya must decide: can she trust the man who broke her heart to help her save the world?"You're late."Ethan closed the door behind him. "I came as soon as they called.""Five years late," she said, her voice steady.Silence stretched between them - thick, unresolved. Finally, she turned."You have seventy-two hours. After that, global encryption starts to fail."Ethan's expression didn't change. But she saw it - the calculation, the weight."And you think I can stop it?""I know you can." She held his gaze. "The question is whether you will."A pause. Then, quieter -"Why now, Maya?"Her jaw tightened. "Because whoever's behind this. already knows how you think." Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva.The Decoherence Protocol is Book 1 of the Zhao & Cross series - techno-thrillers rooted in the real threats intelligence agencies don't want discussed.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A pathogen that doesn't kill everyone. It kills you based on your DNA.Six months after dismantling a quantum encryption conspiracy that nearly brought down the global financial system, CIA analyst Maya Zhao and NSA cryptographer Dr. Ethan Cross are back - and the threat they're facing is worse.A routine WHO surveillance flag leads them to a Russian molecular biologist operating outside every regulatory framework that exists. Dr. Alexei Volkov has spent seven years in a private laboratory doing what the ethics boards told him was impossible. He's not building a weapon of mass destruction. He's building something more precise: a pathogen engineered to read your genetic ancestry and decide whether you live.When a respiratory cluster in Jakarta resolves without casualties, Maya's team recognises it for what it is - not an outbreak, a calibration run. Version 1. The real weapon is already finished.As Mumbai burns and the case count climbs past four hundred, Maya and Ethan race to find a facility that doesn't officially exist, run a mole investigation that fractures the team from the inside, and build a case that has to hold up in rooms they're not supposed to be in.Behind Volkov is Victoria Merchant - the adversary they dismantled once, who pivoted without pausing, who has been building something larger and more patient than any single weapon. Something that doesn't need to threaten governments. Something that makes them irrelevant.The Biotech Protocol is the second book in the Zhao & Cross Series - a techno-thriller grounded in the real science of gain-of-function research, pharmacogenomic targeting, and the institutional blind spots that make the next pandemic possible.Smart. Taut. Terrifying in all the right ways.Book One: The Decoherence Protocol - available now. Book Three: The Grid Protocol - coming soon. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Shackleton Base Story - Hub Era, Book TwoShackleton Base is racing to build something new: solar collectors manufactured on the Moon and launched into orbit, where sunlight never has to fight through an atmosphere or a night cycle. But Halcyon Dynamics isn't the only company chasing the idea. Forty kilometers away, a rival - Meridian Orbital - is building the exact same thing, on the exact same deadline.Nobody at either company wants to admit it, but the two operations are sharing a lot more than a launch schedule. When Mira Okafor and her crew flag an untracked object drifting near the deployment corridor, both sides shrug it off as somebody else's problem. Halcyon's liaison says it's probably Meridian's. Meridian's liaison says it's probably Halcyon's. Nobody's lying. Nobody's watching, either - until the gap between two competing companies nearly costs two people their lives.With days left before the next crewed launch, Mira, Alex, and the rest of the crew have to do something neither company has managed on its own: get two rivals to trust a shared fix, before the sky above Shackleton runs out of room for two separate stories about who's responsible for what.Nobody's the villain here. That's what makes it hard.Grounded in real research on orbital debris tracking, space-based solar power, and how competing companies coordinate - or fail to - on shared safety infrastructure, The Shared Sky continues the Shackleton Base series with the same rigor, the same crew, and a question that gets harder to answer the higher the stakes climb: what do two rivals actually owe each other, once they're standing under the same sky?
