A MISSION TO AVERT WAR Vital seaports in Jordan and Israel erupt in fire and destruction. It’s the first strike from a terrorist organization determined to increase hostilities throughout the Middle East. There’s only one way to combat the threat. It’s time for Operation Shock Wave . . . Saddiq Mohammed al-Assali is America’s most wanted terrorist. His cells in Israeli and the Palestinian territories are ready and eager to usher in a maelstrom of violence between the two nations. Each will blame the other. Iran will be implicated. And the United States will be drawn into yet another Middle Eastern war. To stop al-Assali, the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Bridget Davenport assigns Lieutenant Faraz Abdallah to infiltrate the terrorist’s cabal. But as Faraz uncovers and sabotages al-Assali’s plans one by one, Bridget herself becomes the target—and Faraz must take decisive action in a deadly game of international deceit . . . “An authentic, heart-stopping thriller. Don't miss this one!” —Andrews and Wilson, authors of the Tier One thriller series “Relentless tension, a fast-paced story . . . military drama at its finest!” —Carole Stivers, author of The Mother Code “Al Pessin is the perfect blend of Daniel Silva and Lee Child.” —Dave Zeltserman, award-winning author of the Julius Katz stories

Blowback

By: Al Pessin

“Adventure, political intrigue, suspense, and action galore.” —Steve Berry A MISSION FOR JUSTICE Explosions rock London, Paris, and Washington. Casualties number in the thousands. The President orders his covert agencies to retaliate with full force. It’s time to launch Operation Blowback. The Defense Intelligence Agency’s Bridget Davenport was in the strike zone when the terrorists attacked. Claiming responsibility is Al-Souri, a jihadist who has consolidated multiple extremist cells in Syria. He plans to establish his own rule and wage all-out war against the West. For Blowback to succeed, Bridget needs a covert operative to infiltrate Al-Souri’s forces. U. S. Army Lieutenant Faraz Abdallah is still recovering from his last mission. But both he and Bridget know he’s the only man for the job. Faraz must re-enter the terrorists’ deadly world -- before America’s enemies launch their next offensive. “Reading Blowback is like saddling a rocket. Once it gets going, hang on for the ride!” —John Gilstrap “A riveting and relentless read.” —Jon Land “Blowback kept me up all night. Al Pessin is the new Tom Clancy.” —Tony Park “A timely thriller that pulls no punches. Highly recommended.” —Ward Larsen

Sandblast

A Gripping New Military Thriller

By: Al Pessin

Fans of Vince Flynn and Lee Child rejoice! It’s time for your next action hero…. Lieutenant Faraz Abdallah is willing to do anything for his country, but this time, his ultimate patriot mission will take him into the belly of the beast….and right into the heart of the Taliban…. Written with authentic detail, former foreign correspondent Al Pessin takes the reader on a pulse-pounding adventure, where Faraz learns that in order to defeat the enemy, you have to become your enemy. The plane carrying the Secretary of Defense is blown out of the sky. The Defense Intelligence Agency greenlights an unprecedented response—Operation: Sandblast. Pentagon Covert Ops runner Bridget Davenport, must find someone to infiltrate the Taliban, get to the terrorist mastermind, and at all costs stop his plan for an attack more destructive than 9/11. Bridget finds young California-raised Afghan-American Lieutenant Faraz Abdallah. His heritage and military training make him the perfect undercover agent, but no one knows whether he can do the job. Success depends on Faraz’s ability to fool the Taliban’s top leaders and become a terrorist, while remembering why he’s really there. Bridget believes in him, but it will take everything she has to keep the president and the top brass from pulling the plug . . . The author’s experience as a former foreign correspondent that spent more than 15 years overseas paints a vivid and unique thriller that will grip readers till the bitter end! “Pessin calls on his years in the Pentagon and White House press corps for the keen details that bring this tale to life.” —T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times bestselling author “A nail-biter of a thriller.” —Les Standiford, author of Water to the Angels “A taut action-thriller that really pulls you in.” —Henry V. O'Neil, author of The Sim War Series “This timely, realistic story will be awarded top marks by fans of Alex Berensen and Vince Flynn.” —Hank Phillippi Ryan

Emergencies In Neuro-ophthalmology: A Case Based Approach (Second Edition)

By: Andrew G Lee,Saif Aldeen Alryalat,Osama Al Deyabat,Noor Laylani

The management of emergent neuro-ophthalmic conditions can be a life saving encounter for the general ophthalmologist. This book is designed to help comprehensive ophthalmologists make emergency triage decisions for initial evaluation and treatment of potentially vision- or life-threatening conditions. This text is case-based and is intended to provide the reader with the opinion and expertise of two neuro-ophthalmologists. One, Dr Lee is an ophthalmology-based neuro-ophthalmologist and the other, Dr Brazis is a neurology-based neuro-ophthalmologist.In the current edition two, we have updated the content according to the recent advances in ophthalmic investigations and imaging, along with the emergence of recent serological tests for Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody disease (MOGAD) and Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) disease. We also have also provided high-yield summary points after each case for takeaway messages.

Mathematical Models of Cancer and Different Therapies

Unified Framework

By: Regina Padmanabhan,Nader Meskin,Ala-Eddin Al Moustafa

This book provides a unified framework for various currently available mathematical models that are used to analyze progression and regression in cancer development, and to predict its dynamics with respect to therapeutic interventions. Accurate and reliable model representations of cancer dynamics are milestones in the field of cancer research. Mathematical modeling approaches are becoming increasingly common in cancer research, as these quantitative approaches can help to validate hypotheses concerning cancer dynamics and thus elucidate the complexly interlaced mechanisms involved. Even though the related conceptual and technical information is growing at an exponential rate, the application of said information and realization of useful healthcare devices are lagging behind. In order to remedy this discrepancy, more interdisciplinary research works and course curricula need to be introduced in academic, industrial, and clinical organizations alike. To that end, this book reformulates most of the existing mathematical models as special cases of a general model, allowing readers to easily get an overall idea of cancer dynamics and its modeling. Moreover, the book will help bridge the gap between biologists and engineers, as it brings together cancer dynamics, the main steps involved in mathematical modeling, and control strategies developed for cancer management. This also allows readers in both medical and engineering fields to compare and contrast all the therapy-based models developed to date using a single source, and to identify unexplored research directions.
