A thrilling sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller Nick of Time, in which the young time traveler Nick McIver must prove his courage once more, on two fronts: in World War Two–era England, where Nazis have invaded his homeland, and in America during the Revolution, where Nick stands shoulder to shoulder with General George Washington

It’s 1940 and the Nazis are invading Nick’s beloved home, the British Channel Islands. So Nick takes to the skies: He has discovered an old World War One fighter plane in an abandoned barn. Determined to learn to fly, he is soon risking life and limb to photograph armed German minelayers and patrol boats, and executing incredibly perilous bombing raids over Nazi airfields by night.

Meanwhile, the evil pirate, Captain Billy Blood, still desperate to acquire Nick’s time machine, returns to Greybeard Island. He kidnaps Nick’s sister, Kate, and transports her back to Port Royal, Jamaica, in the year 1781, leaving Nick a message that if he wants to see her alive again, he must come to Jamaica and make an even swap: Kate’s life in exchange for Nick’s wondrous time machine—that’s Blood’s bargain.

Having traveled back in time, Nick discovers a plot that might change the outcome of the American Revolution. Disguised as an eighteenth-century cabin boy, he travels to the Caribbean and confronts his old enemy, who has assembled the world’s largest pirate armada.

From the battlefields of the New World to the brutal German occupation of English soil in World War Two, The Time Pirate has Nick McIver fighting once again to defend his country, the outcome of two wars resting on his young shoulders.

±1±: Best Buy The year is 1940, and the peaceful life on England's Channel Islands is being threatened by invading Nazi armies. Twelve-year-old Nick McIver enjoys helping his dad and some of the other islanders spy for Winston Churchill. Churchill has high hopes of defeating the Nazis, but he knows that Britain will need the help of the Americans to do so. In the meantime, Nick has another idea. With his old pal Gunner's assistance, he pulls his father's World War I plane out of its hiding place and restores it to its former glory. Then his father teaches him how to fly. Nick takes to the skies, discovering new ways to spy on the Nazis, and even plans a daring night raid to bomb their artillery building at the Nazi camp.

Nick is exhausted, barely surviving his raid, but he quickly learns that there is no resting for an adventurer in the middle of war. While he is gone, his old nemesis, the pirate Captain William Blood, returns for revenge. And he does so using his time machine. Leonardo da Vinci invented a time machine and created two of them; Captain Blood has one, and thanks to Nick's ancestor, Nick has the other. Now Captain Blood wants both of them. So he travels forward in time to 1940 and kidnaps Nick's little sister, Kate, taking her back to his time of 1781. If he wants his sister back alive, Nick must follow and exchange his time machine for Kate's life.

Nick quickly follows them back in time and finds that Kate hasn't sat idly in captivity. She eavesdrops on the pirates and learns of their plan --- an ingenious scheme to build a huge pirate army and take over the seas. Their first plan of attack is the French fleet commanded by Admiral de Grasse, traveling from the Caribbean to Virginia to help George Washington in the Revolutionary War. Nick knows from his history books that de Grasse assists with the Battle of Yorktown, which helps to end the war. If Captain Blood attacks de Grasse, and de Grasse never makes it to Virginia to help Washington, America will lose against the British. Which means America won't exist to help Britain defeat the Nazis in World War II. But if Nick goes back to 1781 to stop Captain Blood and help America win the Revolutionary War, it would mean he would be committing treason against his own country of England. How does our young hero ever hope to make the right decision in an impossible situation?

Filled with conniving pirates, nasty Nazis, heart-pounding plane rides, daring escapes, tricky time travel, courageous spy strategies, and mind-gripping history, THE TIME PIRATE is sure to please almost everyone, especially the guys. Ted Bell writes with a very classic style, right up there with Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark Twain. His adventurous imagination pulls readers into this spirited and deep, multilayered story. All of his main characters are unique and well, from the tenacious seven-year-old Kate to the 80-year-old Baroness spying on the Nazis, to our likably and courageous hero, Nick. Bell also takes a unique approach to description, using lots of intricate and interesting details --- for example, the restoring and flying of the WWI plane. Fans will love this outstanding sequel to NICK OF TIME. on Sale!

A plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be unleashed . . . can it be stopped?

There is a powerful technique called the Overton Window that can shape our lives, our laws, and our future. It works by manipulating public perception so that ideas previously thought of as radical begin to seem acceptable over time. Move the Window and you change the debate. Change the debate and you change the country.

For Noah Gardner, a twentysomething public relations executive, it’s safe to say that political theory is the furthest thing from his mind. Smart, single, handsome, and insulated from the world’s problems by the wealth and power of his father, Noah is far more concerned about the future of his social life than the future of his country.

But all of that changes when Noah meets Molly Ross, a woman who is consumed by the knowledge that the America we know is about to be lost forever. She and her group of patriots have vowed to remember the past and fight for the future—but Noah, convinced they’re just misguided conspiracy-theorists, isn’t interested in lending his considerable skills to their cause.

And then the world changes.

An unprecedented attack on U.S. soil shakes the country to the core and puts into motion a frightening plan, decades in the making, to transform America and demonize all those who stand in the way. Amidst the chaos, many don’t know the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact—or, more important, which side to fight for.

But for Noah, the choice is clear: Exposing the plan, and revealing the conspirators behind it, is the only way to save both the woman he loves and the individual freedoms he once took for granted.

After five back-to-back #1 New York Times bestsellers, national radio and Fox News television host Glenn Beck has delivered a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that seamlessly weaves together American history, frightening facts about our present condition, and a heart-stopping plot. The Overton Window will educate, enlighten, and, most important, entertain—with twists and revelations

no one will see coming.

±1±: Best Buy Glenn Beck is a nationally syndicated radio and Fox News TV show host as well as the author of 5 bestselling books including: "An Inconvenient Book," "Common Sense," and "Arguing with Idiots." Additionally he is the team-leader and publisher of "Fusion" magazine.
And yes, many non-conservatives viciously attack Glen Beck for being a devout Mormon as they attempt to ridicule Mormon doctrines such as men progressing into gods, the Mormon teaching that God the Father is a physical man who evolved into a god, the idea that their heavenly Father has relations with women, and other distinctive Mormon beliefs. Many non-conservatives mock these Mormon doctrines as if these
Ad Hominem/Genetic fallacies (attacking the man, assailing the source as they avoid the proof offered) make Beck's political views erroneous. Beck is a sincere and caring man who happens to be an accidental media genius; everything he touches prospers.

Herein the reader is confronted with non-stop adventure as Beck weaves a powerful story concerning "a plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, that is about to be unleashed" as the question is asked, "Can it be stopped?"

In "The Overton Window" the reader meets with the means in which society and laws can be nefariously molded through the method of manipulating public opinion and cultural sensitivity so that an ideology that at one time was deemed as radical, becomes acceptable and even established. If a group can move the Overton window they will change many things our culture holds dear.

Beck has provided a suspenseful story based on current events and possible future occurrences. This volume will entertain, instruct, and inform the reader; additionally it may keep you up at night--reading and pondering the revelations therein. 336 power-packed pages makes for a great gift or a fun summer read.

Nelson DeMille opines: "Glenn Beck never fails to amaze. "The Overton Window," a rip-roaring read of the first order, is as good a political thriller as you're going to find this year."
