Bryant Wieneke's explosive series of contemporary political thrillers begins with Priority One, which introduces Kendall Jackson Smith as an American water expert working on the southern edge of the vast and mysterious Sahara Desert. His work is interrupted by a viable nuclear threat from rebels, who are fighting against exploitation by foreign powers as well as their own governments. As a Stealth Bomber approaches, Kendall is caught between saving lives or preserving his principles while distracted by a beautiful Russian agronomist.
The subsequent novels in the series delve deeper into the complicated choices faced by a peaceful person in a violent world. As an unwilling and unlikely DHS agent, he works at a non-profit in Santa Barbara, a Presidential Debate, the Great Green Wall of Africa, and USAID. In the later novels, Kendall faces a different kind of near-death experience, with surprising and life-changing results.
I have also written three books in what I call my "AHA Moments" series. These short books are not full biographies, but rather mini-bios that focus on the precise moment when everything clicked for certain iconic scientific figures, changing the world forever.
Rachel Carson was an eminent scientist and the foremost nature writer in the United States when she stumbled upon the realization of what the indiscriminate use of insecticides and pesticides was doing to water systems, plants and animals, and ultimately the health of the American people. A soft-spoken and introverted person, Carson sacrificed a successful career to campaign against this short-sighted contamination of the earth, while she herself was dying of breast cancer. This book is a very personal look at the author of Silent Spring - and an American heroine.
The Day Albert Einstein Discovered Relativity tells the story of how the 26-year-old scientist, working in a Swiss patent office while married with a small child, made one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. While his thinking was wildly imaginative in his application of mathematical formulas to his thought experiment, the logic of his process is accessible to us all.
The Day Charles Darwin Discovered Natural Selection allows the reader to join this ordinary but perspicacious and persistent young man as he examines animal and plant life from a new perspective, seeing what many have seen before him, but understanding it in a strange and wonderful way.
