Shepard's Watch Series: Book One A raging inferno at the Kremlin Armory, an Orthodox priest found murdered in his own church, and a series of mysterious bombings in Eastern Europe brings the American intelligence community to a sobering realization: someone is trying to start a war. As tensions in the region escalate, Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR) assembles a task force and gives one its most decorated Special Forces officers, Maj. Jay Shepard, a simple mission: find the parties behind this madness and do whatever it takes to stop them. It all starts wrong, and as the CIA, the newly formed Defense Clandestine Service, and the FBI all activate assets in support, a host of foreign intelligence services and the ever-present rivalries inside the U.S. government services threaten to derail the mission before it ever leaves the station. As Shepard's handlers hoped he would, he takes his operation off grid, reaching out to a reclusive billionaire with some very dark family secrets and a private army that's been implicated in dozens of black market arms deals. The more the Task Force succeeds, the more awkward the revelations become for the federal agencies pulled into the public scandals and congressional hearings back home. Worse, Shepard's team uncovers disturbing evidence related to an intelligence leak threatening national security networks. When his Task Force is recalled in order to be disbanded, Shepard is forced to choose between his chain of command and the oath he took to protect his country. He's been a tactical savant most of his life, confounding and frustrating even the most brilliant war planners with his ability to defy the odds: now he's been sanctioned as an enemy of the state. Betrayed by the people he served and hunted by the men he trained, Shepard now has to decide exactly how far he'll go and who he'll cross in order to complete his mission.
Accidents Made Right 5: Autophobia
Warning! This is not the first book in the Accidents Made Rights series, so I'd highly recommend either reading the recap chapter which will be provided sometime in the future, or reading the previous books. "How many times must a man break, before they can truly give up?" Pain. Grief. Torment... chaos. These are the only things Carnage, both a strangely unique Knuman and Accidental, has been familiar with, ever since the faithful day when Knightmare ruined his entire life. For the longest time, he never thought he could've hated himself anymore. Until very recently, when he was tricked by Knightmare, who, disguising as a man named Robert Griggs, tricked Carnage into nearly killing his son. Now, Carnage seeks to get revenge on Robert, and while he's at it, hopefully, he can provide the other Accidentals the safety that they've been missing for years. Will his will give him the strength to take on an army or billions? Or will he give up, and finally end his eternal torment? Disclaimer! This story contains: Themes of self-harm/suicide, heavy gore, mature themes, strong language, intense fight scenes, tobacco usage, and an animal giving birth.Complete![Vitality [Teaser]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/192670997-256-k17930.jpg)
Vitality [Teaser]
Trust is a word that can easily be broken through breath, but survival is a word that can only be broken by death. Nikolas Clover's goal was to keep his family safe as they joined the Advors, a group of humans against the Resinix alien race. However escaping from the Proditors, a group of humans who standby the Resinix, would be anything but easy. They lived in a small town in Colombia called Salento located North just off the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. The Advors remained hidden under the tall rainforest trees while the Resinix and Proditors ruled the rest of the Earth with an iron fist. The Clovers lived in hiding as they waited for their moment to leave the Proditor infested town. However, suspicion would soon arise. Escaping would feel like hell, but the thought of surviving would feel inconceivable. ~I've dedicated a song from YouTube that fits well with each chapter to enhance the reader experience if you choose to play it!
