Foreign Agent
Summary
"The best thriller of the year...an exciting and entertaining read." (The Washington Times) "A top-notch thriller." (Bill O'Reilly) From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brad Thor—a brilliant thriller as "current as tomorrow’s headlines." Terrorism in Europe has spun out of control. The United States has decided on a dramatic response. Now, the CIA needs a very special kind of operative. Scot Harvath has exactly the skills the CIA is looking for. He's a former U.S. Navy SEAL with extensive experience in espionage. Working for a private intelligence company, he will provide the CIA, and more important, the President, with absolute deniability. But deep within the Russian Caucasus, Moscow also has its own special kind of operative. As a child, Sacha Baseyev endured an unimaginable horror. Today, he lives and breathes for only one reason—to kill. And he will kill as many Americans as it takes to accomplish his mission. When a clandestine American operations team is ambushed near Syria, all signs point toward a dangerous informant in Brussels. But as Harvath searches for the man, he uncovers another actor—a rogue player hell-bent on forcing America's hand and drawing it into a confrontation deadlier than anyone could have imagined. As the attacks mount, and terror is brought to the very doorstep of the White House, Harvath finds himself in the race of his life. From Vienna, Brussels, and Berlin, to Malta, Jordan, and Syria—he will push himself beyond the edge in order to confront one of the greatest evils the world has ever known. Filled with action, intrigue, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Foreign Agent is a nonstop thrill ride that reaffirms Thor's position as the "master of thrillers."

Lean Startup: The Complete Step-By-Step Lean Six Sigma Startup Guide
Summary
Lean Startup, Lean Six Sigma, Lean Analytics, Lean Enterprise, Kanban, Kaizen, Scrum, Agile Project Management Maximize value and minimize waste! Create a more effective start-up! Eliminate wasteful practices and improve efficiency! While the name can be a little misleading, the fact of the matter is the Lean Startup method for businesses is equally useful for start-up companies as it is for Fortune 500 companies. And while it may have roots in the technology sector, it is already being used in virtually every industry across the board. While there is a lot of confusion around it, the Lean Startup system can help companies of all sizes in a lot of different ways. If you are interested in learning more, then Lean Startup: The Complete Step-By-Step Lean Six Sigma Startup Guide is the book you have been waiting for. While the term start-up generally has very specific connotations in the business world, in this instance start-up simply means any team that is looking to create a new product or service whose future is not 100 percent certain. Generally speaking, it makes far more sense to classify start-ups as enterprises taking on a challenge amidst uncertainty than by things like market sector, size, or even age of the company. With this definition in mind, you will find that there are a few main areas in which a start-up faces the greatest amount of uncertainty, otherwise known as risk, including technical, market, business model, and customer. Inside this book, you will learn how the Lean Startup system has been designed to handle all of them through a targeted approach based on the scientific method. Inside you will learn: A step-by-step breakdown of the Lean Startup methodology The differences between generative and evaluative research techniques and the best times to use each How to grow out a successful start-up Easy ways to add Six Sigma to the Lead Startup strategy The basics behind both Kaizen and Poka-Yoke And more
