The extraordinary and inspiring true story of Michael T. Flynn, the retired three-star general, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and first National Security Advisor in the Donald Trump administration, who walked through fire and came out the other end stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to vanquish America’s foes—at home and abroad—and win the battle to restore our rights and freedoms. In Pardon of Innocence, Michael Flynn recounts his journey from a coastal New England upbringing to the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, from the echelons of US power to the depths of a corrupt justice system that sought to silence him for prioritizing America’s interests. Through his eyes, we see how the qualities that made him an exceptional soldier and leader also made him a target for adversaries like Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who saw his honesty and courage as direct threats to their flawed policies. Flynn’s battle against a weaponized justice system—one that threatened his family and forced him out of the White House—stands as a testament to faith, family, and freedom. This gripping memoir unveils the conspiracy to silence Flynn, including the FBI’s framing tactics and the truth behind his foreign policy efforts to benefit Americans. Pardon of Innocence tells the unprecedented and remarkable true story of Michael Flynn. It is a powerful narrative of struggle, redemption, and hope, inspiring patriots to safeguard the nation’s core values for generations to come.

Winner of the Robert A. Heinlein award, "a far-future, spacefaring universe packed with action. . . . is good challenging reading" ( Booklist ). In the days of the great sailing ships, in the mid-twenty-first century, when magnetic sails drew cargo and passengers alike to every corner of the solar system, sailors had the highest status of all spacemen, and the crew of the luxury liner the River of Stars, the highest among all sailors. But development of the Farnsworth fusion drive doomed the sailing ships, and now the River of Stars is the last of its kind, retrofitted with engines, her mast vestigial, her sails unraised for years. An ungainly hybrid, she operates in the late years of the century as a mere tramp freighter among the outer planets, and her crew is a motley group of misfits. Stepan Gorgas is the escapist executive officer who becomes captain. Ramakrishnan Bhatterji is the chief engineer who disdains him. Eugenie Satterwaithe is third officer and, for form''s sake, sailing master. When a catastrophic engine failure strikes the River, Bhatterji is confident he can effect repairs with heroic engineering, but Satterwaithe and the other sailors among the crew plot to save her with a glorious last gasp for the old ways, mesmerized by a vision of arriving at Jupiter proudly under sail. The story of their doom has the power, the poetry, and the inevitability of a Greek tragedy. This is a great science fiction novel, Flynn''s best yet. "Thoroughly absorbing. . . . [A] compelling study of (literally) explosive group dynamics in an arena where technology is critical to human life." — Publishers Weekly

Captain Amos January and his rivals struggle to obtain an ancient pre-human artifact of great power that incites murderous actions in those who seek it.

Not since the 1960s have the activities of resistance among lower- and working-class youth caused such anxiety in the international community. Yet today the dispossessed are responding to the challenges of globalization and its methods of social control. The contributors to this volume examine the struggle for identity and interdependence of these youth, their clashes with law enforcement and criminal codes, their fight for social, political, and cultural capital, and their efforts to achieve recognition and empowerment. Essays adopt the vantage point of those whose struggle for social solidarity, self-respect, and survival in criminalized or marginalized spaces. In doing so, they contextualize and humanize the seemingly senseless actions of these youths, who make visible the class contradictions, social exclusion, and rituals of psychological humiliation that permeate their everyday lives.

From moose attacks to the midnight sun--an amusing, Bill Bryson-like account of one man''s first year in Alaska "In New York City, a Cheechako (chee CHA-ko) would be the kid who just fell off the turnip truck. No street smarts. A pink windbreaker. A subway map sticking from his back pocket...In Alaska, a Cheechako is even easier to spot. He''s the guy with his tongue stuck to a metal pole. A tenderfoot. A greenhorn." Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun is the story of Lt. Sean Michael Flynn as he tries to survive his first year in Alaska. With romantic notions of Jack London and Bush piloting, Lt. Flynn requests a transfer to Eielson Air Force Base outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. He is a bit unnerved at how easy the transfer goes through. From a rugby game on a frozen river to living across from Santa''s Village to soaring over the Bush in an F-16, Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun is a hilarious trial-by-many-errors account of what it takes to become a true Alaskan.
