Experience is the best teacher. This book is based on the truth concerning the centuries of unfair treatment of people of color here in America and abroad. All people need to understand the higher spiritual purpose behind the lasting tribulations. The greater goal is to make people of color aware that they are indeed Israelites. They are God's chosen people that emerged from the Twelve Tribes of Israel spoken of in the Bible. According to the word of God, mankind's journey to Arsareth/America began with the Israelites being the first people to reside in Arsareth. Ten of the Twelve Tribes of Israel founded their new homeland here in a country where no man had ever dwelt. They were and are the Native Americans. Now in the minority, Tribes, Hispanics, and Blacks are at the bottom of the totem pole. They are subjected to racism, health and wealth disparities, education and opportunity inequities, and police brutality. Being Black in America examines the cause, the effect, and the history of the people of color. None of which is by chance, but of prophecy.

In the time it takes to read this sentence, Echelon will intercept more than 70,000 phone calls, e-mails, and faxes.Operated by the National Security Agency, Echelon is the most pervasive global eavesdropping network in history. Today, Echelon will capture three billion electronic communications.Imagine what it will do tomorrow.In the near future, war is unknown, conflict has vanished, and life is picture-perfect. Or so it seems. Once merely a surveillance net, Echelon has severed its ties with the United States to become the covert power shaping world affairs. It manipulates the data flow at will, snuffs out dissent, and controls information–and thus the world–with an iron fist. But after years of silent dominance, Echelon stands on the brink of collapse. Honed, armed, and bioengineered to the hilt, Ryan Laing, a veteran Echelon operator, is thrust into a dark conspiracy to overthrow Echelon and draw the world into new violence and chaos. With his handler, Sarah Peters, a neo-punk hacker out of Scotland, Laing embarks on a desperate race through the halls of power and across the globe–from the flooded beachfront of Venice, California, to a murderous jungle in Southeast Asia–to find out who in Echelon is playing God . . . and what greater hell will soon be unleashed.From the Trade Paperback edition.

“Raw kinetic energy and blistering pace . . . a thriller for the new millennium.”–James Rollins, author of Map of Bones and The Judas Strain“Empyre is edgy, entertaining, and frightening. We can only hope the scary technology Conviser proposes is the purest fiction!” –Kevin J. Anderson, co-author of Hunters of Dune For decades, Echelon forced peace on the world. Freedom was a sham: Echelon wielded total, if secret, control. In the end, two bioengineered Echelon agents, Ryan Laing and Sarah Peters, brought the conspiracy down. But there is no happily ever after for the liberators, or for humanity. With Echelon’s fall, a power vacuum is opened–and all hell breaks loose. Now an outsider in the world he created, Ryan retreats into the wastelands of Antarctica and a life of isolation. But when Sarah is blamed for a series of terrorist attacks, Ryan must return to a world he wanted to forget. Could Sarah be responsible for these atrocities, or is she a pawn in a much larger game? The answer lies with EMPYRE, a shadow organization at the center of the chaos gripping the globe. Ryan’s only hope is to uncover EMPYRE’s devastating secrets. The battle will drive Ryan and Sarah to the dark corners of the earth, to a floating, guarded city where the ultimate evil–and the ultimate plot against humanity–await.“Josh Conviser’s near future is fascinating to imagine–and terrifying, because we might just be heading for it.”–John Scalzi, author of The Ghost Brigades Praise for Josh Conviser’s Echelon“Imaginative and intuitive . . .
