Somewhere in the wilds of New Mexico, at a secret air base, they have built the ultimate stealth warplane. It is invisible on radar. It can fly rings around any fighter jet,It can fly above Mach 6 ... and it has just been stolen by a 15-year old boy.That's the premise behind my novel, The Interceptors Club and the Secret of The Black Manta, a work of fiction, loosely based on my many years of actual experience "stealth chasing" for publications such as Aviation Week & Space Technology Magazine.I am one of those "guys in lawn chairs" usually found sitting on a desert mountaintop, overlooking a military base, hoping to catch a glimpse of the latest stealth super-plane that doesn't officially exist. My 135,000 word thriller is the exciting tale of a rag-tag group of technology-junkies (15 and 16-year old kids) who call themselves the Interceptors Club, lead by Stanley "Static" Dodson, a teenager too smart for his own good.The Interceptors are military brats living on an air force base ,spending their free-time skulking around and collecting data on top-secret military programs - just because they can.Using off-the-shelf surplus technology such as scanning radios, night vision cameras, computers and other eavesdropping devices, this eclectic group of precocious teens discover the existence of a new stealth aircraft that they call the Black Manta, the next generation in stealth technology - hypersonic, extremely agile and light-years beyond anything that has ever flown.Unfortunately, one day while on a "stealth mission" they are caught trespassing on the test range by Air Force Security. Colonel Adam Pepper, head of the local military AFOSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) offers them a deal. He tricks the Interceptors into working for him as his personal "Tiger Team" putting their Interceptor skills to work, supposedly looking for gaps in project security so (as Pepper puts it) "We can identify unforeseen security issues that could put this and future projects at risk."But unbeknown to the Interceptors, Pepper has his own agenda. He is a double agent, working for his North Korean spy master "Chin" who is desperate to steal the secrets of Manta’s stealth technology to give absolute dictator Kim Joon Il an unstoppable way of delivering a nuclear bomb to America.With the information provided by the Interceptors Club, Chin steals the Black Manta, but unfortunately for him it is in pieces and he is forced to hide it nearby. He then kidnaps Air Force technicians to put the aircraft back together so he can fly it out of the country.When the Interceptors Club discover what has happened, they are horrified, suddenly aware they have been unwitting pawns in Pepper’s plans. They can't go to the police (who wouldn't believe them anyway) or anyone on base (who, for all they know could be working for Pepper) so they are forced to call in "The Core" a group of adult Interceptors made up of investigative journalists, technology experts and computer hackers , enlisting their help to locate the Black Manta and steal it back, before it is too late.The Interceptors Club and the Secret of The Black Manta is a techno-thriller, aimed at young readers but one I believe adults will find fascinating as well. It is Tom Clancy meets The Hardy Boys, Sneakers meets Real Genius with a fascinating look into the real "Black World" of spies,covert military technology and political intrigue that exists behind today's headlines.The novel is a fast-paced and cutting-edge thriller with many twists and turns, but it is also very funny, fresh and thought-provoking. There is even a bit of romance theown in for good measure.It's tailor made for today's technology driven generation, but it's not far-fetched or dumbed down. Everything is based on years of actual research into the secret world of "Black Projects" and will have the reader wondering, did this really happen?

A ketogenic diet isn't something new that has been recently formulated; people have been on a ketogenic diet for virtually three million years in which our brains were nurtured and evolved. Now the human brain is not only shrinking, but brain atrophy is the norm as we age and get plagued with diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. People mistakenly think that they need to eat less and exercise more to create a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. This is not how diet and exercise helps with weight loss. A well-formulated keto-adapted diet along with proper exercise builds muscle and muscle builds mitochondria. It is in the mitochondria where fat is oxidized so you can keep your cells and liver insulin sensitized. Weight loss and health is about healthy mitochondria and about controlling hormones and specifically insulin. This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. By eating this way, you will begin to heal your cells and will keep evolving your body into the happy and healthy person you want to be. This book is filled with the most impeccable nutrition information to fuel your cells. Maria's passion goes beyond explaining the 'why', she is a master in the kitchen and loves food. Her keto-adapted recipes at the end of the book tie all the nutrition together so you can become keto-adapted faster than ever.
