After the revival of Operation Treadstone, former operative Adam Hayes has retreated to Africa, determined to escape the black-ops CIA program for good. Hayes knows just how destructive the program can be, as it turns government agents into nearly superhuman assassins. But his quiet life in Africa changes irrevocably, when Hayes is attacked by extremists while flying a charitable mission in Burkina Faso. Forced to make an emergency landing, his plane is damaged and he is left in a hornet's nest of trouble. In order to get back in the air, Hayes agrees to transport a passenger - Zoe Cabot, the daughter of a tech baron - to a small coastal city. But on arrival, Zoe is abducted. Searching for the missing girl, Hayes runs afoul of multiple enemies, including a rogue Treadstone operative, all of whom are searching for him - and for the information about a wire transfer of millions of dollars bound for the relief effort in Burkina Faso. Hayes must outrun and outgun the factions that are hunting him and prevent the theft of the much-needed millions from one of Africa's poorest nations.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3422189</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3422189</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hood, Joshua]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3422189105</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593151945/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1224593469</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rebound]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the summer of 1988, twelve-year-old Chuck Bell is sent to stay with his grandparents, where he discovers jazz and basketball and learns more about his family's past.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3724552</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3724552</guid><category><![CDATA[RESTRICTED_BOOK_MP3]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alexander, Kwame]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3724552105</comments><format>RESTRICTED_BOOK_MP3</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781667076850/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1280861175</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Robert Ludlum's the Treadstone Resurrection]]></title><description><![CDATA[Adam Hayes thought he'd left behind his life as a black ops assassin.

In the early hours of June 6, 1944, the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, a unit of African American soldiers, landed on the beaches of France. Their orders were to man a curtain of armed balloons meant to deter enemy aircraft. One member of the 320th would be nominated for the Medal of Honor, an award he would never receive because the nation's highest decoration was not given to black soldiers in World War II. Drawing on newly uncovered military records and dozens of original interviews with surviving members of the 320th and their families, Linda Hervieux tells the story of these heroic men charged with an extraordinary mission, whose contributions to one of the most celebrated events in modern history have been overlooked. Thousands of African Americans were sent abroad to fight for liberties denied them at home, including these members of the 320th: Wilson Monk, a jack-of-all-trades from Atlantic City; Henry Parham, the son of sharecroppers from rural Virginia; William Dabney, an eager seventeen-year-old from Roanoke, Virginia; and Samuel Mattison, a charming romantic from Columbus, Ohio. In Europe, these soldiers discovered freedom they had not known in a homeland that treated them as second-class citizens-experiences they carried back to America, fueling the budding civil-rights movement. In telling the story of the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, Hervieux offers a vivid account of the tension between racial politics and national service in wartime America and a moving narrative of human bravery and perseverance in the face of injustice.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C2078412</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C2078412</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hervieux, Linda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2078412105</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>The Untold Story of D-Day&apos;s Black Heroes, at Home and at War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781504659611/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=0919966887</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baldwin]]></title><description><![CDATA[Drawing on new archival material, original research, and interviews, this spellbinding book is the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, revealing how profoundly his personal relationships shaped his life and work. Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships--geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic-- and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4296564</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4296564</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boggs, Nicholas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4296564105</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Love Story</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250402004/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1533762294</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blue Light]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 1965, a mysterious beam of blue light descended from space, illuminating Northern California.

Those affected by the light were soon dubbed "Blues" and were segregated from society due to their superhuman abilities.
