    In this, his eleventh novel, octogenarian/author John Sager writes about a close-to-home subject, our nation's health care system. As the resident of a thriving retirement community, he explores the proposition that America's health centers have not always been what the are today: dishonest physicians who prescribe drugs that have no medicinal value, grossly-inflated charges for routine health care procedures, the country's largest eldercare conglomerate that is heavily influenced by Chicago's Mafia and whose accounts are controlled by an unaccountable financier in the Cayman Islands. As the story unfolds, lawyers and judges begin to target the offenders, asking hard questions and demanding truthful answers. Finally, the culprits are identified and punished, but only after being prodded to do so by a persistent Seattle law firm.

    This is author John Sager's seventh novel, each of which reflects his fifty-plus years' service with the CIA. But Crescent Blood is a whole new ball game: new characters and a new environment. The story is a realistic exposition of America's struggle with a most unusual enemy: ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. It deals with real people but retains its fictional premise: The first woman president of the United States, elevated to the position by virtue of the murder of the man she helped elect president. The butchery of Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria. The deadly meddling of Vladimir Putin, Russia's cunning president. The story reminds its readers of the unappreciated cooperation between the FBI and the CIA, how the two services work together for the greater good. As the title suggests, the region still known as The Fertile Crescent is indeed a place of much bloodshed, and a contest between the world's only superpower and a shadowy group of Muslim jihadists who have vowed to spread their evil ideology far and wide. The contest's 'winner' will control the world.

In Tehran, Iran's leadership secretly plans to produce and deploy a nuclear-tipped ICBM that it hopes will be able to reach New York City; and the assassination of Israel's prime minister is part of its plan. And if that were not enough, the Agency's Tashkent station uncovers a drug-running operation, financed by Afghanistan's ruthless Taliban leaders. At the same time, Russian president Vladimir Putin intends to annex Ukraine, to include, if needed, the assassinations of its leaders in Kiev.

    Who are 'God's Listeners'? In this collection of ten short stories, author John Sager guides his readers through a fictionalized account of the BeFrienders, a nation-wide, volunteer Christian ministry in place at each of the Covenant Retirement Communities twelve campuses. The program's mission is to come alongside people who are on a difficult part of their journey by providing a trained, compassionate BeFriender who will maintain confidentiality, listen, empathize, and represent his/her caring community in the name of Jesus Christ. BeFrienders are lay volunteers who-by actively listening to people in difficult and transitional situations, such as illness, loneliness, or loss of a loved one-embody the caring presence of God. BeFrienders accept people as they are and listen with compassion. Through spiritual and emotional care, BeFrienders encourage those they befriend to make their own decisions. Because their role is to care, not cure, the skills BeFrienders learn in training allow them to respond to spiritual and emotional needs with the confidence that they can provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate listening presence. BeFrienders gain a deeper understanding of unity in Christ by appreciating the value of each person. BeFrienders experience how Christ calls us to be together in joy and in pain. www.befrienderministry.org

    North Korea and Iran, two nations, half a world apart, each with its own evil aspirations for power and control. Each armed with nuclear weapons and each, apparently, ready to use them. And each makes no secret of its intentions, daring other nations to intervene. At its headquarters in Langley, Virginia the Central Intelligence Agency has been ordered by the president to 'do something.' Problem is, the CIA has no assets in either country. In Iran, the CIA's station was shut down in 1979, nearly 40 years ago. North Korea is a walled-off country, since the 1953 armistice its ties to other countries are limited to those sympathetic to its Communist rulers Gradually, ever so slowly, the CIA is able to recruit agents indigenous to both countries and send them 'home' to report on current events. But there are only four of them and their lives are at risk at every turn. Using its latest spy-in-the-sky technology, combined with the incredible bravery of its on-the-ground assets, the CIA eventually negates the plans of the two nations, with regime change in each a real possibility.

    In this, a sequel to his most recent novel Shahnoza, Super Spy, author John Sager introduces his readers to a new kind of intelligence gathering. The year is 2017 and the United States has a new president. It also has a more-than-usually aggressive Central Intelligence Agency, recently empowered with a unique collection method, a method that allows the Agency to read the mail of its adversaries. This reading of the mail has revealed that the Russian Federation's president, Boris Azarov, has authorized the destruction of the island of Oahu, a threat that can be removed only if the United States agrees to scrap its entire Pacific Theater military might. But CIA headquarters and its Moscow Station have their own ideas about how to negate the Russian threat. The stakes couldn't be higher. World War III might be just over the horizon.

    This is author John Sager's third sequel to his first novel, Night Flight. The year is 1982 and the Cold War has reached its highest level of tension. Four dedicated Muslim jihadists lay a web of intricate planning which, if successful, will destroy the American embassy's eleven-story building in Moscow, killing all or most of its inhabitants with the devastating explosion of a home-made truck bomb. At the same time, two influential Muslim members of the Soviet Union's Politburo have persuaded their colleagues to authorize the detonation of a nuclear warhead, many miles above the earth; its electromagnetic pulse will destroy every item on the ground below that relies on electricity, rendering the United States helpless for months to come. Through several penetrations of key Soviet institutions, the Central Intelligence Agency's Moscow station becomes aware of these plans and has barely six months to defeat them. If it fails, hundreds of innocent Americans will die and the Soviet Union will stake its claim as the world's sole remaining superpower. The author, for more than fifty years a CIA operations officer in its Clandestine Service, tells the story as few others could, having served many years in the Soviet Union and the Muslim world.

    In this sixth in a series of novels reflecting his experiences as an operations officer in the CIA, author John Sager brings his characters and his readers back home, from Moscow to Washington, DC. It is the year 1984 and president Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (aka Star Wars) has become the Soviet Union's major concern. KGB headquarters has tasked its rezidentura in Washington to initiate a full-court press, to determine the nature and scope of SDI and then develop a plan to defeat it. The CIA, through a penetration of that rezidentura, identifies the KGB officers who will do the work. It then develops an elaborate plan to mislead them; if successful, the savings to American taxpayers will exceed billions of dollars. However, the KGB has its own sources and dispatches a hit squad from Moscow to assassinate the Agency's principal participant in the plan. As the title suggests, the nation's capital becomes a secret world of manipulation and intrigue as the two intelligence services try to outwit each other. Readers will recognize many of the characters from the author's previous works-but at home, in the nation's capital city, the stakes are much higher than before.
