Beyond Her Words: Corrupt Chaos MC

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths and lady luck tucked into their back pocket. Then there’s people like me, who live to survive. Survive loss. Survive loneliness. Survive the black tar that swallows you whole, stealing everything and anything that could resemble a piece of happiness. They try and fail, try again and fail even harder. Starting life’s never ending cycle of wash, rinse, and repeat.

That’s me. Or it was. Ten years I wandered through life. Through 10 towns. Through 10 men. Then, I didn’t anymore. A hellacious storm came and ripped everything away, leaving me stripped bare for the most beautiful man. A man part of the Corrupt Chaos Motorcycle club, who not only saved my life but rescued my soul. Or so it may seem from the outside. On the inside, it’s not that simple. Life never is.

It’s dirty.

It’s ugly.

And it’s painstakingly relentless.

I’m Magdalene Murdock and this is my story.

Leviathan (The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier Series)

The Lost Fleet delivers thrilling combat on a grand space-opera scale. Now Admiral John “Black Jack” Geary embarks on a brand new mission―to defend the Alliance from itself―in New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell’s latest action-packed novel.

Two Syndicate World star systems have fallen prey to a mysterious fleet of warships―a fleet controlled entirely by artificial intelligence―that is now targeting Alliance space. The warships are no mystery to Geary. They were developed by his government to ensure security but malfunctioned. If the Syndics learn the truth, the war with the Alliance will resume with a vengeance.

As the government attempts to conceal the existence of the AI warships―and its role in their creation―Geary pursues them, treading a fine line between mutiny and obedience. But it soon becomes clear that his fleet is no match for the firepower of the machine-piloted armada.

With the help of the Dancer species of aliens, Geary has tracked the AI ships to their secret base in the supposedly mythical Unity Alternate star system where his fleet, the last hope of the Alliance’s future, will end the conflict at any cost….

Taking a Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to Unite America

Senator Rand Paul, leading national politician and 2016 Presidential candidate, presents his vision for America.
From his electrifying thirteen-hour filibuster against administration-orchestrated drone strikes against U.S. citizens, to leading the discourse on criminal justice, Senator Rand Paul has taken Washington by storm. His outreach to this country’s minority communities alone- championing reforms of mandatory minimum sentencing, school choice, and the creation of enterprise zones for economically depressed areas- distinguishes him as a politician and Republican the likes of which are rarely seen.

What lies ahead is Senator Paul’s plan for America, where lower taxes and smaller government empower a muscular and expansive middle class; an America that doesn’t engage in nation-building or fight wars where the best outcome is stalemate; an America that believes in constitutionally protected liberty and the separation of powers.
