The Security (firm) are a highly specialised team of personal bodyguards, renowned as the best in the business. Until their clients' personal lives start to be exposed, leaving the team trying to protect themselves, while trying to find out who it is that knows a lot of their own secrets, let alone those of their clients. THE SECURITY (novel) is about what happens to the rich and famous when their secrets leak, it's also about what happens to such a highly specialised firm, who rely on their reputation, when they appear to be the only link between the affected clients.

There's a really unusual set up and idea behind this novel, with some engaging characters and a heap of action and pace. The structure of the narrative is very different, although not always as successful as it could be, as the timeshifts did leave a bit of terminal confusion in their wake. Once this reader got into the swing of things the fog did clear though, and there are some gloriously funny moments with some great dialogue and action that will have you feeling a bit worn out, just reading it.

Interesting combination of action thriller and psychological whodunnit, points have to be given for the attempt at something a little different - and the level of sheer fun involved (perhaps that's a bit down to the idea that some seriously unpleasant characters gets some hefty doses of what's coming to them along the way). Will be interesting to see if this is an ongoing series - The Security (firm) would be an interesting bunch to tag along with again.

Deeply rooted in Scripture, Jesus, Peter and the Keys will increase your understanding in an area of faith that still divides many Christians: The role of the Papacy. This is the first and only book that proves, without doubt, that the Papacy was designed by Jesus and is being carried out as He intended. This landmark work brings together information from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox sources to give readers of all Christian faiths a clear understanding of the office of St. Peter and his successors. The authors do an excellent job of examining scriptural evidence and historical data and present their case in easy-to-understand terms both scholars and layman can enjoy. Imprimatur.… (altro)
