Ricky Durrutti is a small-time crook with a short biography and a long rap sheet. He has “lived long enough to make a lot of mistakes but not long enough to fix any of them.” As the novel opens, a policeman is gunned down in San Francisco’s Mission District, and the weapon is traced back to Durrutti. Unless he can find Jimmy Ramirez, the guy he gave the gun to, and figure out who the real killer is, Durrutti is a dead man. From drag queens to Jewish gangsters, Salvadoran gangs to heroin addicts, everyone seems interested in making sense of the murder.

Because after Obama has won his war on prosperity and canceled the war on terror, it will be too late to regain our liberty or our security. Here’s the truth about Obama and his radical policies: He will destroy our health care system so that no one gets adequate care. He firmly believes in government control of our major industries—he’s already commandeered the banks and the automobile industry. He plans to reshape the political lands

Catastrophes, whether natural or man-made, that could destroy the human race are often dismissed as alarmist or fanciful, the stuff of science fiction. In fact the risk of such disasters is real, and growing. A collision with an asteroid that might kill a quarter of humanity in 24 hours and the rest soon after; irreversible global warming that might flip, precipitating "snowball earth;" voraciously replicating nanomachines; a catastrophic accident in a particle accelerator that might reduce the earth to a hyperdense sphere 100 meters across; a pandemic of gene-spliced smallpox launched by bio
