Doc: The Scorpion Team by Doc JungFor forty years a man has kept his silence, never telling anyone he has ever met or worked with or for. Not even his family could be told; or repercussions, removal from service, and forfeit of all benefits would result. The government didn’t want you to know they had a secret weapon: three Special Forces teams put together with the best of the best. The Honorable President Ronald Reagan had his hands full with terrorists and the Cold War with the Soviet Union. When Iranian militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, under President Jimmy Carter’s term of office, they held 52 Americans captive for 444 days. President Reagan knew he wasn’t going to ever allow this again. Now one brave man breaks his silence after forty years to honor his brave fallen brothers, and tells all his story, so you will know that they really did exist and their missions really did happen, despite the government’s coverup. This is the story of his life, his journey, his love of a lifetime that slipped away, and his struggles with PTSD and those who helped him along the way. About the Author Doc Jung is a retired military Veteran of 32 years of service. After retirement he worked for James Avery as a handmade jewelry tech. Then the opportunity came where he used his Airframe & Powerplant IA license to work for Texas Aircraft Manufacturing as their Quality Assurance Manager, which he still does today. His hobbies include, of course, target shooting and building handmade one-of-kind personalized birdhouses that reflect a person's personality. They are pieces of artwork and are on his Facebook page: HeyZombieLLC. Doc has always wanted to write books and even has some other rough draft books, but he has never pursued publishing them. This book is the true story he had to come out of silence to tell all, to honor his fallen Special Forces team brothers, to speak of his love of a lifetime that slipped away, and to reach out to those others who may be suffering from PTSD in hopes of stopping them from ending their own lives https://www.amazon.com/Doc-Scorpion-Team-Jung-ebook/dp/B0CVLCZYGY/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FSH8lJRVHvT0yrSz0hUP-ISVC18Km0YClBZzvo4nr7GHbcfZMKe8H7p8hIeYiyw8ZR8--bK9xbYbaCNRw7kDO98mOsJwI9XtDoUtPSFTG1-EGRDd57w9bVryqyAROukO14S9MQ9IK9-7lf4F2Swlj2BPZBhopXy0mxrgqACaqTnQ1lU51q7-KjOD96miMdvB6X163vN3A_KY8w_2_kX8O9lOF5m8gVYjKRGqhjpoOzc.fJP-Vo7BEZqNN3Wq7khHRjpXsbZtC_axiAhN17styPs&dib_tag=se&keywords=Doc%3A+The+Scorpion+Team&qid=1712330891&s=books&sr=1-1 http://www.KingPagesPress.com http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/41124kpp1.mp3

The Girl Who Reset the Lightning Brain : The Lightning Brain Series by Cliff RatzaAfter an eighteen-month absence caused by a fire that destroyed her house and nearly incinerated her, Electra Kittner is now ready to reenter her life's multiverse arena, which she must now reset. She needed the solitude to recalibrate herself—physically and mentally—after a supra-international conspiracy tried to terminate her. Now, she has a new identity—Native American Indian Professor Electra Alisha Kirchner—for whom Indira the Singularity has created all documentation necessary to cover her early thirties. She is the newly appointed adjunct professor specializing in space medicine at UT Austin's Astrophysics Program. The old Irani-Alisha-Electra trio is officially dead, even though forensics investigators found no remains in the rubble of the fire. Electra changes identities to remain in the shadows while redirecting priorities and protecting her clone children and friends from danger due to association. Combining some of the past with the present, Electra is ready to deal with adversaries old and new, who don't know that the lightning brain is alive and well. World events are heating up, and Electra plans to cool some of them down, getting as much help as Indira sees fit to give. So follow the action-adventure trail that leads to far-flung venues where all the events will climax at another unguessable ending. Cliff Ratza considers himself a simple scholar, having parlayed four degrees—math, physics, business, and computer science—into a business career spanning numerous jobs, companies, and industries. He grew up in Chicago, graduating from top Illinois universities before launching his business career. He returned to Chicago to combine teaching with his business consulting career and adds novels to his portfolio of writing accomplishments https://pageturner.us/bookstore/the-girl-who-reset-the-lightning-brain https://authorcliffratza.com/#home http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/41124pt2.mp3
