The Red Serpent Trilogy

''The evils of the World in which Anaxagoras shall come will be caused by the unworthy people of the world. Our race shall come unto the Earth and bravely wage war with them...'' In 2021, the Vampires attacked Earth and decimated the human population. After a fierce and bloody battle, war commander John Howe led the forced evacuation of the humans to the gigantic orbiting space station Regnum, and the human refugees have been there ever since. Then one day, General Howe's orphan nephew, Alexander, uncovers a terrible secret about his past--and that he may be the subject of prophesy. ''Two decades later, a new kind of evil, a Falsifier, shall come unto the Earth...'' The boy's world is turned upside down when Gareng, the Vampiric General, reveals his own family ties to Alexander. As the two grow closer, Gareng begins to question the wisdom of his people waging Vampiric war on the humans. But Gareng's own son will stop at nothing to seize control and eliminate the humans once and for all... ''There will be a second coming of Anaxagoras, when the sun is blocked by the moon...'' After learning his true origins, Alexander finds himself in an impossible situation: he must choose whether his allegiance lies with his mother's people, or with his father's--and condemn the other to certain doom. ''In the End of Days, the Falsifier shall challenge Anaxagoras for the fate of the world...'' But migra is thicker than water, and as Alexander embraces his role as Falsifier, he begins to hope that there could be another way. Can Alexander forge a peace between the two warring factions--could he and Gareng ever convince the Vampires to agree--or will prophecy reach its bloody final chapter as Earth is plunged again into unrelenting war?

From the Author\nThis book started as a chapter in my first book, Master the Matrix. That chapter took on a life of it's own and eventually a course of it's own at University Wisconsin-Madison School of Business. The course, and the hundreds of amazing experienced leaders who have participated in it, validated my basic premise of how influence without authority happens and made the content come alive--first in the classroom, and now in book form.Don't expect a lot of concepts or grandiose platitudes. This book is a quick, pragmatic read. You will read that last page and you'll stop wishing for more authority and just get out there and influence. Your approach will be different, more deliberate, more "other-focused." The Cross-Functional Influence Playbook that I designed to accompany this book is great for someone who really wants to dig deep and make change, or for the learning professional that needs to build this skill in others across their organization.The light bulb that can go off around influence without authority can be game changing. If you buy into my research, 89% of what you do in organizations relies on this skill. Invest your time to develop your ability to influence. You'll likely never look at your organization the same again!\nThe problems we face, decisions we make and projects we run are complex—a reflection of the sophisticated products our organizations design and manufacture, markets they operate in and regulatory environments they must navigate. Very rarely does all this work reside neatly in one function, team or location. It requires us to reach across functions and geographical boundaries. And once that reach happens, influence is required—because unless you have the biggest title on the organizational chart, your authority doesn’t cover it all. And where authority ends, influence begins. "Cross-Functional Influence" introduces a simple model to getting things done across the organization. This approach covers the things you do every day to build your level of influence (Build Proactively) and those you apply to specific influence opportunities (In-the-Moment). Coupled with "The Cross-Functional Influence Playbook" you will get the full spectrum of learning-from the stories and tips to the worksheets, assessments and planning tools.\nFrom the Inside Flap\nAgile teams, cross-functional teams, project teams, matrix organizations. What do they all have in common? The need to apply influence without authority across a diverse group of stakeholders and partners.Cross Functional Influence and it's application workbook, The Cross-Functional Influence Playbook seek to provide specific tools and advice for influencing in organizations. At the intersection of persuasion, negotiation and collaboration, cross-functional influence describes how almost all the work we do gets done every day.\nFrom the Back Cover\nThe problems we face, decisions we make and projects we runare complex--a reflection of the sophisticated products ourorganizations design and manufacture, markets they operate inand regulatory environments they must navigate.

Are you ready for a new kind of suspense hero? Meet Conor McBride - an Irishman who's even more interesting than the trouble he gets into. The British Secret Intelligence Service has recruited its most unlikely agent--an Irish musician. And they've given Conor McBride an unlikely mission--to find and capture his own brother. Before Thomas disappeared, Conor McBride had always assumed his brother was a simple farmer, content to stay home while his younger sibling chased a career in Dublin as a violinist. That assumption shattered the day Thomas disappeared and Conor was arrested, falsely implicated as his brother's accomplice in an international fraud. Fives years later an eccentric British intelligence agent has turned up in his living room to deliver another shock--Thomas is in India, and he's involved in something far more dangerous than fraud. In search of his brother and answers that have eluded him, Conor reluctantly descends into the world of covert intelligence, acquiring skills that make him a stranger to himself. As his journey moves through the chaos and teeming streets of India, and the dance bars of its Mumbai mafia dons, he confronts a revelation that will again shatter all his assumptions about his brother, and faces the possibility that the people he trusted may want him dead.

America is unjustly worried about ''national debt,'' believing it can no longer do the many things that mark it as a great nation. Discussions of national undertakings--including infrastructure repair, jobs programs, military modernization, and disease prevention--have all been stifled through fear of insolvency. America has convinced itself that it can no longer afford, as a nation, to do many of the productive things that it has done so well over its history. 
That's a great shame, because America remains a nation of tremendous resources in every sense, and the underlying assumptions about U.S. government financial instruments are not correct. America can never face the debt problems of nations like Greece, thanks to its fundamentally different financial system. 
This short book explains why such fears should not hold back America, and why even the expression ''national debt'' is neither meaningful nor appropriate for the United States.

''Message to Dave, Message to Dave, do not hunt, do not fish, do not leave camp. A message will follow in a few days!'' When I saw the airplane disappear in the direction of Sudan, my heart sank! This was the airplane that was to have reconnected us to civilization. Instead, I (we) watched in dismay as the sound of the airplane faded and our only connection to (our) civilization flew out of sight. Four young American men stranded in the African wilderness. Isolated from all but native people, whose language we did not understand nor they ours. Sixty miles from the closest settlement, that was not a native African village, no roads, only animal trails and rivers. We had no 'modern' means of communication. There were no telephones, telegraph nor two way radio. It was a year of many surprising events. We would have to hack an airstrip out of the wilderness with only hand tools. It would take us 8 months. ''Which Way Is Camp?'' is the story of that adventure.
