Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, she had an uncertain and unforgiving upbringing with a mentally unwell mother, an absent father and cruel foster parents. She grew up in Los Angeles and would dream about Hollywood, and believed acting would be her one-way ticket to a different reality. Her dream was so powerful that she transformed herself into the ultimate goddess of the silver screen, and her image has been branded into the collective consciousness. Men lusted after her, and women seemed to adore her child-like vulnerability. All her life, she wanted to be happy – and loved.

In the early hours of 15 April 1912, after the majestic liner Titanic had split apart and the 1,500 men, women and children struggled to stay alive in the freezing Atlantic, the sea was alive with the sound of screaming. Then, as the ship sank to the ocean floor and the passengers slowly died from hypothermia, a deathly silence settled over the sea. Yet the echoes of that night reverberated through the lives of each of the 705 survivors. Shadow of the Titanic tells the extraordinary stories of some of those who survived.

Kurz vor seiner Pensionierung erhält Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson einen verzweifelten Anruf. Die Tochter seines Freundes David wurde gekidnappt. Außer der Leiche eines Priesters, die am Tatort zurückgelassen wurde, gibt es keine Spuren. Natürlich will Jed helfen. Doch schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft wird ein Mordanschlag auf ihn verübt. Und dann erwachen sie wieder: die Stimmen in seinem Kopf, die seltsamen Visionen, die Albträume. Er hatte geglaubt, all das hinter sich gelassen zu haben, als er mit 18 Jahren in die Navy floh.

Every word a president utters is weighed and examined, but none more so than when he is talking about Taiwan. That's why it's shocking that President Jack Ryan seems to imply that the US has no appetite for a war to protect Taiwan from the communist Chinese on the mainland. President Ryan is determined to protect the independence of the island nation, but he is determined that one slip of the tongue should not cost thousands of young soldiers, sailors and Marines their lives.

For decades, Taiwan has been a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. An independent nation to the rest of the world, it is considered a rogue province by the PRC. Previous governments have tried to conquer the island using economic force and diplomatic pressure, but new Chinese President Li Jian Jun is done fooling around. He’s devised a secret military operation to take the island. Only one man knows how to stop Li’s mad and bloody plan for reunification and that’s Minister of Defense Qin Haiyu.

Now, back home in America, he’s trying to put the pieces of his life at Ember back together. But which man returned from Russia—Dempsey, or the wolverine? From the way his teammates look at him, it’s obvious they’re not sure, and neither is he. Meanwhile, Vice President Kelso Jarvis has barely had time to mourn the death of his mentor before a devastating attack reveals a new threat.

US intelligence says there's something going on in Russia. While their land forces have been decimated by corruption and incompetence, the Navy seems to be pouring money into some secret project. Analysts are stumped, until the knot is untangled by one particularly bright young woman at the Office of Naval Intelligence - Katie Ryan, the youngest daughter of President Jack Ryan. Like her father, she sees patterns where other don't, and she's determined that the Russians are about to launch a super missile sibmarine, the Belgorod.

Nach einem Terroranschlag gerät das Leben von John Dempsey, Mitglied der Navy-SEAL-Eliteeinheit Tier One, völlig aus den Fugen. Aus der Welt strikter Hierarchien und klarer Anweisungen verschlägt es ihn in das dubiose Reich der Spionage und geheimen Einsätze. Seine Mission ist klar und simpel: Er soll die Verantwortlichen für die größte Tragödie in der Geschichte der U.S. Special Operation jagen und vor Gericht bringen. Und es ist egal, wo auf der Welt sie sich verkriechen.

Special Operations Chief Tyler Brooks might not know quantum mechanics, or have an eidetic memory, but he is the very best in the world at one thing: leading covert ops. When an unpredictable enemy causes the catastrophic loss of his entire SEAL team, Brooks is recruited by Pat Moody to lead a new elite squad, Task Force Omega. Moody’s promise—access to mind-bending tech that grants a glimpse of the future.

US intelligence is reporting turmoil in the Russian navy. Their deadliest submarine, the Belgorod, has unexpectedly launched, and taken along with it a long list of questions. Who authorized the departure? What mission is it on? And, most disturbing of all, what weapons do the giant doors on the sub’s bow hide? It's been four decades since a similar incident with the Soviet sub, Red October, ended happily, thanks to a young CIA analyst named Jack Ryan.

With dizzying social transformations in everything from gender to social justice, it may seem like there's never been a more tumultuous period in history. But a single year in the late 18th century saw a number of influential transformations—or even revolutions—that changed the social trajectory of the Western world. By understanding how those events influenced today's cultural landscape, Christians can more effectively bear witness to God's truth in a post-Christian age.
