THE FIRST VICTIMS It starts in an L.A. emergency room. Fourteen cases of fever, chills, and unexplainable bleeding. Fourteen deaths. THE FIRST CLUE Then the Pentagon website is breached and a warning is posted — of a plague being unleashed on the infidels. For the members of Biodefense, the nation's top-secret agency against bioterrorism, what they thought impossible has come to pass: a nanotechnological WMD has been set loose. Intelligence traces the threat to Syria. As the president contemplates invasion, one thing becomes clear to Biodefense's Alan Thorpe: the weapon was developed and spread in the U.S. — by a sleeper cell within our own borders. THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE Now, it's up to Thorpe and the other members of Biodefense to stop the outbreak, before more Americans die — and the world is thrown into chaos… "A smart thriller…timely and provocative." — James Rollins, national bestselling author of the Sigma Force series "It is terrifying because it is so very plausible. No, no plausible — probable, perhaps inevitable. A fabulous read." — Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author "Anderson has done his homework. Sleeper Cell is chilling." — Stephen Coonts

The urgent, explosive story of Russia's espionage efforts against the West from the Cold War to the present - including their interference in the 2016 presidential election. Like a scene from a le Carre novel or the TV drama The Americans, in the summer of 2010 a group of Russian deep cover sleeper agents were arrested. It was the culmination of a decade-long investigation, and ten people, including Anna Chapman, were swapped for four people held in Russia. At the time it was seen simply as a throwback to the Cold War. But that would prove to be a costly mistake. It was a sign that the Russian threat had never gone away and more importantly, it was shifting into a much more disruptive new phase. Today, the danger is clearer than ever following the poisoning in the UK of one of the spies who was swapped, Sergei Skripal, and the growing evidence of Russian interference in American life. In this meticulously researched and gripping, novelistic narrative, Gordon Corera uncovers the story of how Cold War spying has evolved - and indeed, is still very much with us. Russians Among Us describes for the first time the story of deep cover spies in America and the FBI agents who tracked them. In intimate and riveting detail, it reveals new information about today's spies--as well as those trying to catch them and those trying to kill them.

Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.
