For the first time anywhere, the first-person account of the planning and execution of the Bin Laden raid from a Navy Seal who confronted the terrorist mastermind and witnessed his final moment.
From the streets of Iraq to the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean, and from the mountaintops of Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama Bin Laden’s compound, operator Mark Owen of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group — commonly known as SEAL Team Six — has been a part of some of the most memorable special operations in history, as well as countless missions that never made headlines.
No Easy Day puts readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the twenty-four-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen’s life straight through to the radio call confirming Bin Laden’s death, is an essential piece of modern history.
Fifty Shades of Grey," the Fifty Shades Trilogy will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.
This boxed set includes the following novels:
FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: When college student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly Ana realizes she wants this man, and Grey admits he wants her, too--but on his own terms. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian's secrets and explores her own desires.
FIFTY SHADES DARKER: Daunted by Christian's dark secrets and singular tastes, Ana has broken off their relationship to start a new career. But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and while Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Ana is forced to make the most important decision of her life.
FIFTY SHADES FREED: Now, Ana and Christian have it all--love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to turn Ana's deepest fears into reality.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media—as well as Amy’s fiercely doting parents—the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he’s definitely bitter—but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn’t do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.

HE WOULD GO TO
HELL
At the Iron Mountain Home for Boys, there was nothing but
time. Time to burn and time to kill, time for two young
orphans to learn that life isn’t won without a fight.
Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael,
is fearless and fiercely protective. When tensions boil
over and a boy is brutally killed, there is only one
sacrifice left for Michael to make: He flees the orphanage
and takes the blame with him.
TO KEEP HER
SAFE
For two decades, Michael has been an enforcer in New
York’s world of organized crime, a prince of the streets
so widely feared he rarely has to kill anymore. But the
life he’s fought to build unravels when he meets Elena, a
beautiful innocent who teaches him the meaning and power
of love. He wants a fresh start with her, the chance to
start a family like the one he and Julian never had. But
someone else is holding the strings.
And escape is not that easy. . . .
GO TO HELL, AND
COME BACK BURNING
The mob boss who gave Michael his blessing to begin anew
is dying, and his son is intent on making Michael pay for
his betrayal. Determined to protect the ones he loves,
Michael spirits Elena—who knows nothing of his past
crimes, or the peril he’s laid at her door— back to North
Carolina, to the place he was born and the brother he lost
so long ago. There, he will encounter a whole new level of
danger, a thicket of deceit and violence that leads
inexorably to the one place he’s been running from his
whole life: Iron House.
"The Great Lenore" is the tale of a ravishing young Brit whose falsely-reported death provides her with an opportunity to begin a new life. Before she can disappear for good, however, she longs to know the reaction of her two-timing husband and his aristocratic family.
To find out, Lenore enlists Richard--an outsider in the money-and-booze sodden landscape of Nantucket high society--to be her eyes and ears. As events unfold, Richard discovers the entanglements of Lenore's relationships are more intricate than he ever expected..more intricate even than the secrets within Lenore's miniature punt boat.
This elegant debut paints an idyllic island surrounded by reflective seas and encased in a world where souls collide, mysteries thicken, and dreams unravel. With lively, modern prose reminiscent of The Jazz Age, Tohline orchestrates a playful literary riff on affluence, love, grief, and duplicity.
Author Michael Cogdill's Bio:
I was born a fairly poor and relatively redneck child in Asheville, North Carolina, June 11, 1961 -- the son of a truck driver and a mill worker. I'm extremely proud of my working-people roots, drawing on their deep wisdom and life lessons in my reporting, writing and public speaking. I'm also, thanks to my parents' devotion to higher education, a cum laude graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville with a degree in communications, emphasis on the liberal arts. I married Jill Kremer in 1985 -- the best decision of my life -- and together we've founded a company, Cracker the Crab LLC, publishing children's literature and offering a product line with emphasis on raising self-esteem in the young. I currently anchor the 6:00 and 11:00 news weeknights on WYFF News 4, NBC in the western Carolinas and Georgia.
