    Microbes apparently constitute almost 75% of the total biomass on Earth! Human beings account for a paltry 0.5 billion tons! Who is David and who is Goliath? The viruses are on the top of the list of most populous creatures on the planet but incredibly are not listed in the Taxonomical classification of life. Man- microbe relation is like a 'inter-life treaty' that has set certain conditions which should not be contravened. Microbial infections are seen as a biological war between man and the microbe. Yet, there are a whole lot of microbes living on different parts of our body like our gut and skin. They are called 'Normal Flora' or 'Commensals' who do something good for us and in return we are tolerant to them. A human being is really a super-organism not just made of our own type of human cells but a wide variety of microbes as well. One can call a human body as the Union of Socialist Republic of Man and Microbes (USRMM). Microbial unicellular systems can exist in federal structures too. Such federal microbial colonies are called 'Biofilms' which behave much like multicellular life. They are deceiving us. Microbes use a sophisticated communication system with fellow microbes. It is said that plants can interfere with microbial communication and scramble messages. This is more like our war time tactics. There are some amazing battle strategies seen in the microbial world which are described in the book. Microbes are evasive and have at their disposal a huge number of tools that will put our military technology to shame. Antibiotics that we use extensively in medical practice are microbial intellectual property. Microbial attacks are 'biological terrorism'. The same way I can call terrorist movements are like 'social pandemics'. This book argues that real viruses are exactly like computer viruses to the letter. This book shows how microbes use incredible cyber-attack strategies to infect and subvert. Finally, the book argues that the reason behind the never-ending microbial infection is not killing. This is more of a genetic arms race where the microbes, especially the viruses, try to propagate their genes at the expense of other life systems.

    Twenty-three year old Arnold Gold is a Seattle-based odds-maker and computer genius. Described as a "part-time hacker and full-time virgin" by his friends, he flies to Las Vegas to get lucky-in more ways than one. But his high-stakes activity on the Net inadvertently thrusts him into a vortex of international terrorism. Dark Net Hacking results in murder, and now it will take every last bit of Arnold's intellect and legendary skill to stay one step ahead of the murderous terrorists, the FBI, the local cops and his lawyer. Gold's only chance to save himself is to find the location of a bomb hidden somewhere in Las Vegas, and somehow prevent the explosion that will turn Sin City into the scene of the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11.

    Chasing Shadows is for anyone who has ever been an enthusiastic fan of a rock band or anything else. Part memoir, part history and part detective story, it is sometimes funny, sometimes moving, but always compelling. In the end, the question remains: whatever happened to Deep Purple lead singer Rod Evans and where is he now?

    Hawaii! The very word evokes visions of Paradise - white, sandy beaches; swaying palm trees; silver waterfalls, hula girls; mai tais; and luaus. But all is not paradise in Paradise in the months leading up to World War II. Beneath the glitzy exterior lies a seamy underbelly of sex, drugs, corruption, and violence in a part of Honolulu known as Hotel Street, where lines of servicemen regularly lead into the "hotels," which feature one form of entertainment, and one form only: sex. Three dollars for three minutes. Nineteen-year-old Sadie MacKenzie finds herself trapped in this bizarrely efficient assembly line of prostitution just prior to the Pearl Harbor attack. Her head once filled with dreams of a singing career, she unknowingly finds herself in an entry-level position she never dreamed awaited her: whore. Isle of Broken Dreams tells of her struggles to escape from this life before she loses her soul.

    Although the mandates are lifting, Klaus Schwab's globalist agenda carries forth. Schwab's vision of a Great Reset wraps the entire world so firmly in the grip of the elites' hands that all countries and societies will fearfully await the next lockdown or mandate. Journalist and activist KM Patten discusses this agenda, as well as exposing the mindset of the minions helping to make it a reality.
