No Man Left Behind
When top diplomats from the United States and South Africa, along with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, find themselves fighting for their lives in the Jungles of the Congo, the inherent dangers from the inhabitants pale to the real danger that awaits them. While on a diplomatic mission to South Africa, their plane is shot down over the Congo by radical terrorists determined to use this act of brutality to propel them to prominence. When the rocket fails to destroy the plane in the air, the terrorists must reach the survivors before they can be rescued and finish the job. Only under such adverse conditions can one truly know what he or she is capable of doing when faced with just two choices: survive or perish. No Man Left Behind is the third adventure novel in the successful Jake Patrick series. After the critically acclaimed successes of Behind The Curtain and State of Mind, the author has chosen to take Jake’s team away from the United States and place them in unfamiliar surroundings where danger comes in many forms, all of which have deadly consequences.

Disrupting Dignity
Why LGBTQ+ people must resist the seduction of dignity In 2015, when the Supreme Court declared that gay and lesbian couples were entitled to the “equal dignity” of marriage recognition, the concept of dignity became a cornerstone for gay rights victories. In Disrupting Dignity, Stephen M. Engel and Timothy S. Lyle explore the darker side of dignity, tracing its invocation across public health politics, popular culture, and law from the early years of the HIV/AIDS crisis to our current moment. With a compassionate eye, Engel and Lyle detail how politicians, policymakers, media leaders, and even some within LGBTQ+ communities have used the concept of dignity to shame and disempower members of those communities. They convincingly show how dignity—and the subsequent chase to be defined by its terms—became a tool of the state and the marketplace thereby limiting its more radical potential. Ultimately, Engel and Lyle challenge our understanding of dignity as an unquestioned good. They expose the constraining work it accomplishes and the exclusionary ideas about respectability that it promotes. To restore a lost past and point to a more inclusive future, they assert the worthiness of queer lives beyond dignity’s limits.
