Agent Storm

my life inside Al Qaeda and the CIA
Morton Storm was an unlikely jihadi. At six-foot-one, Storm was a red-headed Dane who spent his teens throwing punches with a biker gang and getting thrown in jail. After reading about Islam he converted and embarked on a decade-long transformation that would lead him to a close friendship with Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born terrorist cleric. In time, his repudiation of extremism led him to atonement and a life of extreme danger as an undercover agent for the CIA and British and Danish intelligence. He single-handedly thwarted attacks in the West and led the CIA to some of the world's most dangerous terrorists, all the while knowing his own life was expendable.

The unexpected patriot

how an ordinary American mother is bringing terrorists to justice
2011
"After 9/11, when the nation was still in shock over the unprecedented attack on U.S. soil, Shannen Rossmiller, a country judge and mother of three in rural Montana, was formulating a plan. Soon she was devouring literature on Islamic culture, teaching herself Arabic, and preparing to infiltrate the central nervous system of global terror: online networks. Her efforts succeeded beyond imagination. Posing as an Islamic terrorist under dozens of screen aliases, she joined forces with the FBI and started trolling jihadist chat rooms, striking up conversations at 3am with men as far away as Pakistan, and amassing evidence against an array of suspected terrorists both at home and abroad. Her work laid the foundation for the online searches so crucial to law enforcement's fight against terror today. Shannen's husband, Randy, uncovered her double life after a chat room terrorist wiped out the family computer and reports rolled in that the Rossmillers were being targeted for reprisal. Undeterred, Shannen started working with the FBI on sting operations, involving everything from jihadist cells to weapons caches to bomb plots, and bringing many of her targets to justice, as well as pioneering the digital entrapment tactics that are at the forefront of today's war on terror. This is the story of one woman's unexpected courage and how it changed the face of this global struggle"--.

Pilot, sharpshooter, and accomplished yachtsman, Rafferty prides himself on being the epitome of coolness under pressure. But the prospect of pantomiming intimacy with a woman of Sarah's intoxicating allure has him unnerved, to say the least--and that could prove deadly for both of them. Dodging danger at every turn even as passion's magnet draws them closer to each other, these two make-believe lovers will learn that the heart is a puzzle they can only solve together.".
