Four scientists are ecstatic when they stumble upon the discovery of a lifetime, but their euphoria is soon turned into a nightmare, when a panicked phone call from one of the scientists is cut off abruptly and he is later found murdered. The few words he manages to utter, point the finger towards espionage within their own ranks. When another scientist is murdered and the other two mysteriously disappear along with top secret research data, the race is on to discover the traitor and the missing research, before it falls into enemy hands.
Dr. Alan Mazer graduated from Harvard Medical School at the age of twenty and started curing rare diseases by age twenty-five. He grew into one of America’s most brilliant scientists, so no one could have foreseen his true intentions. Now a radicalized Muslim, Mazer uses his genius to isolate viruses that attack the nervous system. One “vaccine” kills instead of protecting, stealing the lives of children. In particular, Mazer targets Israelis and Americans in an effort to bring down Western society. Now, skilled Mossad agents, the Joint Terrorist Task Force, and an immunologist from a biotechnology company work together to fight against jihad. They rush to stop Mazer and his team of terrorists, even as unlimited funds roll in from across the globe supporting Mazer’s cause. This team must find this man and stop him before the virus and others spread indiscriminately.
An urgent examination of one of the biggest global crises facing us today--air pollution--looking at the drastic worsening of the problem, and what we can do about it. "Fascinating, readable, and terrifying in equal measure." —Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees The air pollution that we breathe every day is largely invisible—but it is killing us. How did it get this bad, and how can we stop it? Far from a modern-day problem, scientists were aware of the impact of air pollution as far back as the seventeenth century. Now, as more of us live in cities, we are closer than ever to pollution sources, and the detrimental impact on the environment and our health has reached crisis point. The Invisible Killer will introduce you to the incredible individuals whose groundbreaking research paved the way to today's understanding of air pollution, often at their own detriment. Gary Fuller's global story examines devastating incidents from London's Great Smog to Norway's acid rain; Los Angeles's traffic problem to wood-burning damage in New Zealand. Fuller argues that the only way to alter the future course of our planet and improve collective global health is for city and national governments to stop ignoring evidence and take action, persuading the public and making polluters bear the full cost of the harm that they do. The decisions that we make today will impact on our health for decades to come. The Invisible Killer is an essential book for our times and a cautionary tale we need to take heed of.

Cyber-Physical Attacks: A Growing Invisible Threat presents the growing list of harmful uses of computers and their ability to disable cameras, turn off a building’s lights, make a car veer off the road, or a drone land in enemy hands. In essence, it details the ways cyber-physical attacks are replacing physical attacks in crime, warfare, and terrorism. The book explores how attacks using computers affect the physical world in ways that were previously only possible through physical means. Perpetrators can now cause damage without the same risk, and without the political, social, or moral outrage that would follow a more overt physical attack. Readers will learn about all aspects of this brave new world of cyber-physical attacks, along with tactics on how to defend against them. The book provides an accessible introduction to the variety of cyber-physical attacks that have already been employed or are likely to be employed in the near future. Demonstrates how to identify and protect against cyber-physical threats Written for undergraduate students and non-experts, especially physical security professionals without computer science background Suitable for training police and security professionals Provides a strong understanding of the different ways in which a cyber-attack can affect physical security in a broad range of sectors Includes online resources for those teaching security management
Young attorney Libby Burke is worried about making partner at her Chicago law firm when she receives a call from a grief-stricken woman whose son just died of leukemia.

With the help of geologist Paul Hannon, she methodically gathers medical and scientific evidence in spite of anonymous threats, assaults, and even the murder of a person connected to the case. As she prepares for a second trial after the judge has thrown out the case for the first time, Libby lacks the conclusive evidence she needs to win. Her career and justice for three heartbroken families hang in the balance.
