Many terrorist attacks are carried out by zealots or fanatics. Some are born of plain and simple, common or garden greed. Rob Dalton had come home early from a business trip that had been profitable, but in other ways depressing. He had told nobody that he was back, so was surprised to receive an invitation to a meeting that included the words 'now that you are back'. His curiosity piqued, he decided to go, meeting a Mr. Moulin who made an offer to good to be true. Declining politely, Rob took his leave, but not before a mini-disc had been pressed into his palm during the parting handshake. Immediately upon leaving Moulin's office, Rob noticed that he was being followed, so called his long time friends, Chris and John, for help. Between them, they put together a team and pushed back, unraveling a plot to make billions of dollars at a cost of millions of lives.

What if Saddam Hussein... ...hadn't stopped with Kuwait? Project 19 might have worked. No one knows how close Iraq came to invading Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They wanted their money, and Saddam wanted revenge. In a world where the USSR ran a lend-lease program with the Iraqis, Saddam felt emboldened. He'd convince the world that he was just bringing their 19th province back into the fold. With an oil war going on, the Soviets threw their hats into the ring behind Iraq. If they'd had all the latest in equipment, the 100 hours war wouldn't be so easily fought. It could have changed history. Would the Americans ultimately decide that this was a problem for the Arab nations to work out amongst themselves? Would the stakes change? How would Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm have turned out? You'll love this alternate history novel. It's well-researched and will make you ask what might have been. Get it now!

Make microcontrollers, PCs, servers, and smartphones talk to each other. Building electronic projects that interact with the physical world is good fun. But when the devices you've built start to talk to each other, things really get interesting. With 33 easy-to-build projects, Making Things Talk shows you how to get your gadgets to communicate with you and your environment. It’s perfect for people with little technical training but a lot of interest. Maybe you're a science teacher who wants to show students how to monitor the weather in several locations at once. Or a sculptor looking to stage a room of choreographed mechanical sculptures. In this expanded edition, you’ll learn how to form networks of smart devices that share data and respond to commands. Call your home thermostat with a smartphone and change the temperature. Create your own game controllers that communicate over a network. Use ZigBee, Bluetooth, Infrared, and plain old radio to transmit sensor data wirelessly. Work with Arduino 1.0, Processing, and PHP—three easy-to-use, open source environments. Write programs to send data across the Internet, based on physical activity in your home, office, or backyard. Whether you want to connect simple home sensors to the Internet, or create a device that can interact wirelessly with other gadgets, this book explains exactly what you need.
