The world watched in horror at the tragedy and devastation of the 2004 Earthquake and Tsunami that devastated Phuket, Banda Aceh in Sumatra, Thailand, Siri Lanka and Indonesia killing 230,000 people. Graphic images of coastal coves covered in drowned bodies. More recently the world again was transfixed as it watched the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami kill 20,000 men, women and children. The absolute destruction of everything reaching inland for 10 kilometers.
Even given these graphic examples no one was prepared for the under sea fault rupture and the Mega Tsunami which destroyed the coastal areas of Southern British Columbia, Canada and the North Western coastal area of the USA, the area called Cascadia.

Vietnam was Hell, and this story brings readers into the heart of the jungle to experience what our brave men in uniform endured during that horrific eight - year - old conflict.
Martin E. Silenus shares his humorous essays about what the way life should be for a hard working male. Not too long, not too short, and definitely entertaining. Reading this is like having a beer and venting with your buddies. Ah, good times!
This sounds like the kind of story that belongs on the big screen because upheavals like these are visually amazing. That's why I want to read it. I want to see if it's a brain workout for the imagination to add those visuals.
This series looks so cool! It may be the next series I didn't realize I needed in my life. Looking forward to checking it out.
I love the cover and title. Cool.

Elliot Cross is a serial killer. His victims are about to achieve a long-sought goal or dream of a lifetime. Along comes Elliot to snatch their lives away at the cusp of their achievement. The victim might be a schoolboy about to take his driver's test or a woman about to give birth. All the victim has to do in Elliot's eyes is be more focused on themselves at the moment than Elliot's God. After all, Elliot's God says, thou shall put no other god's before me. And he has chosen Elliot to enforce that first commandment. So Elliot Cross says.
I can't wait to read this. Even just the description makes me laugh!
Khosa Nahk
Khosa Nahk Guy Estes
Khosa Nahk―a term from the Southern Badlands that means “extinction-level event.”
Twelve years ago, Aleena Kurrin, gifted by the gods as a warrior, escaped the gladiator arena in the Southern Badlands, leaving a trail of death in her wake and handing the slavers their biggest humiliation. They were unable to take vengeance because they never knew where she lived―until now.
The fact that the bounty on her head is the largest in Badland history guarantees every bounty hunter in business will come for her, and they don’t care who they hurt in the process. Aleena goes after the slave traders while her adoptive sister, Baezha, gifted by the gods in magic, stays behind to protect their family and community.
But Baezha discovers a darker secret—the reason why Aleena’s enemies found her, and why the authorities don’t stop them. While Baezha untangles a dark web of corruption, Aleena ventures alone into the very heartland of those who hate her most.
