Night of the Assassin is the second book in the Assassin series, and is the gritty, edge-of-your seat prequel to King of Swords. A no-holds-barred, breakneck-paced thriller, the book charts the early years of El Rey – known as the King of Swords – a super-assassin responsible for some of the world’s most spectacular and daring executions.

Framed against the backdrop of present-day Mexico’s brutal narco-trafficking violence, Night of the Assassin chronicles the making of a monster – a cold-blooded, ruthless killing machine. Raw, disturbing, edgy and unflinching, this epic saga defies convention to create a roller-coaster of intrigue, suspense and thrills that will leave even the most jaded thriller aficionados gasping for breath.

Best if read after King of Swords, Night of the Assassin was written to provide background on El Rey, with the assumption that the reader is already familiar with the events in King of Swords.

Uncovering Their Relevance to Every Generation

It’s a sensible enough question: How did the Ten Commandments come to be viewed by today’s global citizens— including many Christians—as an out-dated sword over the heads of an ancient people rather than as eternal high counsel delivered by a Creator who knows how to keep his beloved children safe from the most common and persistent kinds of harm?

In A New Look at the Big Ten: Uncovering Their Relevance to Every Generation, Dr. Jason briefly explores the historical background of the Big Ten and then uncovers the practical present-day value of each commandment to citizens of all faiths—or none at all. One takeaway: The God of the Universe remains actively involved in seeing to it that his human creation doesn’t run off the rails in the many ways we are inclined to do.

A fascinating read about a profound topic with unexpected twists, turns, and more than a few surprising smiles, A New Look at the Big Ten: Uncovering Their Relevance to Every Generation will complement and illuminate any of the more scholarly discussions of the immense value of these enduring principles.

You think you are special, unique, and that whatever it is that you are doing is impossible to replace. You are wrong. Work is changing profoundly in new digital age. The whole world of work is in evolution. For some time now, we’ve observed a greater focus on flexibility, mobility, and the ability of quick adaptation of workers. The new era of work is coming driven by: work virtualization, non-routine creativity, hyper-specialization, and reduction of communication, coordination and interactions costs. This calls for a different approach to management and work.

“The recession is said to be over, but you’ll never get your old job back – it’s disappeared and you can’t even blame the Chinese! Your job no longer exists – it’s been automated. Is your job in danger of getting replaced by robots?”

Here is a short story about attempting to change human nature; a zombie story, and a piece about the revenge of alien mushrooms; here is a story about a blind interstellar mining technician caught in the middle of an uprising; here is a story about the price of sin.

The Bluezone: Somewhere deep within this last bastion of democratic society, segregated from the chaotic slums and destitute refugee camps, lurks a technology that could either push civilization further into the abyss, or bring forth its salvation.

Struggling to save his innovative hybrid techno-finance company from malign threats leftover from twenty-two years of severe economic depression, a young Uberman ends up fighting for his life against ruthless enemies. Corporate Banksters are increasingly adopting unscrupulous strategies and tactics.

Dangerous slumlords have infiltrated every facet of the economy and run their gangs like small quasi-nations. Rebellious artificial intelligent entities, which may or may not believe the human world actually exists, are going rogue.

To make matters worse, the Bluezone government, so obsessed in asserting its authority, is willing to risk all out civil war. Not that James Tucker, a war veteran and corporate Uberman by the age of nineteen, and a staunch proponent of alternative economic theorem, minds putting his life on the line. At stake is the destruction of his country, the disillusionment of his fans, and the prospect of betraying a promise he made to his daughter.

THE BLUEZONE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

Every parent dreams that one day their child will become a great leader and, at the very minimum, that they will develop leadership skills that will allow them to successfully navigate through life and become a productive adult. As a parent, you recognize that childhood is the most delicate and impressionable period because during that time, the foundation for a child’s future personality is established.

This is why it’s so vital to teach your child leadership skills early and for parents to have a clear definition of a leader which I will discuss in Chapter 4 of ‘Children’s Books: 7 Principles of Inspiring Kids to Be Leaders. A parenting kids Guide with Leadership Tips & Education for children in all ages’.

Some parents mistakenly confuse being a leader with being a “star.” They think because their child is popular, gets good grades, or is a talented athlete, that means they are leaders or have leadership skills.

Not taking anything away from your child having star qualities, because who doesn’t want their child to be a triple threat? Popular, smart, and athletic? However, being those things does not necessarily make your child a leader or mean that they shouldn’t be taught additional leadership skills to help them grow and succeed as an adult.

There are wildly different views on leadership and key qualities of a good leader. As a parent you must decide what the most important leadership skills are that you want your child to learn and then you must cultivate and nurture those skills that you feel are important.

‘Children’s Books: “7 Principles of Inspiring Kids to Be Leaders” A parenting kids Guide with Leadership Tips & Education for children in all ages’ was written to equip parents with effective ways that they can demonstrate, through actions and words, ways to inspire their child to become the next great leader. AGE APPROPRIATE.
