Books with author Mike Leon

Do you miss the action heroes of the ‘80s and ‘90s?Tired of delicate sensibilities and toned-down PG-13 muck?Meet Sid Hansen. He’s the finest killing machine the secret shadow government has ever produced. Feelings? He doesn't have them. Manners? Nope. Remorse? Absolutely not. This guy would detonate a bus full of kittens to kill one terrorist. He shoots first and asks questions never.So why is he running a cash register in a video store? Good question. The answer is complicated-and it’s about to get a lot more complicated because an 8-foot-tall super zombie, a mystical ninja, teams of commandos in unmarked black helicopters, and an unstoppable super soldier are all coming to kill Sid. Why? Because of a girl…But don’t worry about things getting all sappy. Sid doesn’t have time for that. And this isn’t that kind of story. This is a story about crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of the women.Boredom is a disease... and Rated R is the cure. So go ahead, pick up this thriller and make your day.Note: This is the Studio Interference Edition of Rated R with extra, never-before-seen content. That means:-More satanic bikers!-More kung fu for the Asian market!-More product endorsements!-More obscure nerd culture references only five or ten people will get!-More steak!

This book is seriously messed up.This book is that weird old guy wearing faded army pants at the gun show who tells you the Jews and the blacks are conspiring to destroy America and then tries to get you to come back to his car to look at his snuff tapes.This book is what Leonard Lake would be reading in prison right now if he didn't chomp down on that cyanide tablet.It's deranged. It's toxic. It takes grimdark to an extreme that no one was asking for. It's all of the worst things about the First Amendment condensed into 678 pages of violence, misogyny, racial slurs, infanticide, and a little bit of cannibalism.What’s it about? It’s about mercenaries who work for the New World Order fighting a secret war against reptilian humanoids, and the plot is surprisingly coherent for a piece of fiction that was clearly written by an unhinged maniac.Don’t believe any of this? Go ahead. Find out for yourself. But reading it will probably make you a bad person.

Sid Hansen is a remorseless, death dealing, super soldier--and he works at Gamestop.That’s right. Kill Team One now has a job in a videogame retail store filled with cranky customers, shoplifters, crying kids, and people who just haven't figured out how to use Steam yet. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a situation that can't possibly end well. And it’s about to get a whole lot worse…A global organization of radical Islamists have tracked Sid all the way from the mountains of Afghanistan, where he may or may not have been kinda sorta responsible for just some itty bitty little crimes against humanity. Hell-bent on revenge, they’ve planned the largest martyrdom operation ever conducted. Buildings will crumble. The streets will run red with blood. Their jihad will not end until they have accomplished their sole objective--to kill Kill Team One.But their enemy is a godless murder machine capable of violence even these barbarians can't imagine, so he's going to paint a very clear picture for them...

The still-unfolding story of America’s Constitution is a history of heroes and villains—the flawed visionaries who inspired and crafted liberty’s safeguards, and the shortsighted opportunists who defied them. Those stories are known by few today.In Our Lost Constitution, Senator Mike Lee tells the dramatic, little-known stories behind six of the Constitution’s most indispensible provisions. He shows their rise. He shows their fall. And he makes vividly clear how nearly every abuse of federal power today is rooted in neglect of this Lost Constitution. For example: • The Origination Clause says that all bills to raise taxes must originate in the House of Representatives, but contempt for the clause ensured the passage of Obamacare. • The Fourth Amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures, but the NSA now collects our private data without a warrant. • The Legislative Powers Clause means that only Congress can pass laws, but unelected agencies now produce ninety-nine out of every one hundred pages of legal rules imposed on the American people.Lee’s cast of characters includes a former Ku Klux Klansman, who hijacked the Establishment Clause to strangle Catholic schools; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who called the Second Amendment a fraud; and the revered president who began his first of four terms by threating to shatter the balance of power between Congress and the president, and who began his second term by vowing to do the same to the Supreme Court.Fortunately, the Constitution has always had its defenders. Senator Lee tells the story of how Andrew Jackson, noted for his courage in duels and politics, stood firm against the unconstitutional expansion of federal powers. He brings to life Ben Franklin’s genius for compromise at a deeply divided constitutional convention. And he tells how in 2008, a couple of unlikely challengers persuaded the Supreme Court to rediscover the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms.Sections of the Constitution may have been forgotten, but it’s not too late to bring them back—if only we remember why we once demanded them and how we later lost them. Drawing on his experience working in all three branches of government, Senator Lee makes a bold case for resurrecting the Lost Constitution to restore and defend our fundamental liberties.

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS TOTALLY METAL. No, it's not made of metal. It's totally metal the same way that electric guitars, ninjas, and hot naked girls riding on dinosaurs are totally metal. If you don't understand, then just put this book down and walk away. Just walk away. But if you do understand… Welcome to Graveyard – an elite private military company employed by the secret society that really controls the world – this world. YOUR WORLD. Graveyard’s commander is the grizzled Walter Stedman, a former Delta Force operator battered by twenty years of secret wars, forbidden knowledge, and abominations of science. Someone has murdered one of Walter’s employers, and that means Graveyard is about to go to war. The enemy is like none Walter has ever encountered – creatures from beyond nightmares. His mission will lead him into direct confrontation with an old friend, the legendary Graveyard operator known as Kill Team One - because his exploits in combat match those of an entire squad of regular men. Now retired, Kill Team One has used a strict regimen of training, beatings, and propaganda to condition his two teenage sons into the ultimate super soldiers – ice cold killers that have known nothing but violence and destruction since birth. One of them may be almost human. Almost. Tracking their every move is the ninja, Yoshida Tanaka – a man consumed by hatred in the decade since Kill Team One needlessly tortured his young family to death. Now he lurks in the shadows, honing his skills and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. All of this has come together as a perfect storm, and by the time the rains subside, all life on Earth may have been washed away.
