Lieutenant Gregor Popov is on trial for his efforts along with Heavy Metal to save the Russian Scientists. Will they go after Sal, Madigan and Courtney next? Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... Will Popov get a light sentence, or something worse? Savage has been tasked with an operation, hidden from everyone. Unfortunately, the operation requires him to work with Molina. To make a deal, Courtney must request help. This time, nothing is taken for granted except the ZOO will do what it always does, kill people. NOTE: There may or may not be gratuitous sex in this book. Or it might actually play into a later book with funny talk about men vs. women''s abilities and capabilities. There is ABSOLUTELY cursing in this book. LOTS of upset cursing, cursing out of anger, fear, and other emotional issues related to carnivorous alien flora or fauna eating humans who don''t say ''darn.'' LOTS of gratuitous cursing just because the author finds it funny, too. There is death and sadness...and more death. In fact, it''s a blender of blood out in the ZOO. Man vs. Alien nature seems to justify ugly results. Plus, people have emotional hang-ups. Expect to smile, laugh, cry, and perhaps have a spate of jealousy or two. Further, there might be explicit sex, thank you sex, and you''re welcome sex. Finally, there is no Coke in the ZOO. That is probably the worst and most offensive trait in these stories. This is Michael Todd, and I approve of the shenanigans pulled within the ZOO stories.

Jackson faces a tactical nightmare: expose the cover-up and lose his squad, his mentor, his only shot at belonging to something greater than himself. Stay silent, let humanity''s genocide remain classified forever. Will Jackson''s warrior instincts overcome impossible odds? Can one soldier''s truth shatter an empire''s perfect lie? For readers who crave military precision with cosmic stakes. Step into a pulse-charged sci-fi fantasy where ancient secrets meet high-tech sorcery, and survival is the first test.

In the ZOO, you always expect the unexpected, but this time it is the outside world that throws a monkey-wrench into the action.

Set during the reign of King George III, The Girl and The Flowers is a poignant tale of love, loss, and resilience. The story follows young Mary, who lives in a coastal village with her family. Her grandfather, Captain William Hawthorne, is a seasoned mariner and captain of a grand merchant ship. Before departing on a perilous voyage, he entrusts Mary with two boxes of rare flower bulbs from distant lands, asking her to care for them in his absence. As Mary plants the bulbs, the responsibility quickly becomes overwhelming. Her inexperience and the repetitive nature of the task lead to neglect, and the flowers begin to wilt. Then, devastating news arrives: Captain Hawthorne''s ship has sunk, with no survivors. Heartbroken, Mary blames the flowers for her grandfather''s death and, in a moment of anguish, smashes several pots. But soon, she gathers herself and tends to the remaining plants with renewed dedication, determined to honour his memory. Later, a mysterious message leaves her parents both bewildered and hopeful. On Mary''s birthday, a grand carriage arrives, revealing a miraculous surprise: Captain Hawthorne is alive, accompanied by none other than King George III, who had sent him on a secret mission. The reunion is marked by the unexpected blooming of the flowers, symbolising hope and renewal. The story concludes with Mary as a successful shipowner, her and her grandfather''s graves adorned with the same flowers that once connected them across the seas and years.

"As practitioners and academics debate our nation''s cybersecurity policy the focus remains upon our national security interests as the federal government lacks the resources and people to protect all areas of society. However, this approach largely ignores the private sector despite an estimated global loss of one trillion dollars annually to cyberattacks and exploitations. Moreover, current domestic and international law do little to provide self-defense options for the private sector. Private entities cannot utilize Article 51 of the U.N. Charter as they are not a member of the United Nations. The European Convention on Cybercrimes lacks the global acceptance required to provide enforcement of its provisions and deterrence from future attacks. The Computer Crimes and Fraud Act, designed to protect computers from cyberattacks and cyber-exploitations, does not exclude computers engaged in illegal conduct from the definition of a "protected computer." Further, the act does not provide any self-help remedy for those victimized by an attack. These shortcomings leave victims of cyberattacks and exploitations helpless in defending against such attacks. To respond to this cybersecurity gap, this article uses Professor David Post''s Exceptionalist and Unexceptionalist as a framework in the debate over cybersecurity. This article notes that previous cybersecurity policies were based upon an Unexceptionalist approach; that is, applying laws of the physical world to cyberspace. These policies have failed to gain wide acceptance because the laws in the physical world do not scale to cyberspace. I propose an Exceptionalist approach to the private sector cybersecurity gap. I recommend the government authorize private entities to engage in uses of force, consistent with the Constitution and international law, to provide the private sector adequate means to defend against cyberattacks and exploitations. This model is patterned after letters of marque and reprisal used effectively in the infancy of the United States, but long-since outmoded in the world today. This article argues that modeling a policy after letters of marque and reprisal results in a body of law scalable to the uniqueness of cyberspace. In reaching this opinion, I examine the prior use of letters of marque and reprisal by the United States. In regulating "cyberteers," Congress should limit responses to three levels of force that could be regulated by of an agency under the Department of Homeland Security. The three levels of authorized force would correspond to increasing evidentiary burdens before action could be taken, ranging from probable cause to clear and convincing evidence. This article then examines the legality of the proposal under international and domestic law. Under international law, I examine the applicability under the U.N. Charter and the Hague Convention (V). Under domestic law, I examine concerns regarding individual privacy rights pursuant to the Fourth Amendment and other relevant privacy acts. Finally, this article concludes that while the proposal is constitutional and conforms to international and domestic law, the major hurdle to its implementation is the Unexceptionalist''s unwillingness to recognize that cyberspace is unique and requires an Exceptionalist''s approach"--Page iv-v.
