Ve Virginii sídlí agentura TOSA, jejímž úkolem je hledat a zabíjet ty, kteří jsou pro Spojené státy natolik nebezpeční, že se ocitli na takzvaném Seznamu smrti. Právě na něm přibylo nové jméno: terorista přezdívaný Kazatel, který radikalizuje mladé muslimy a nabádá je k vraždám. Bohužel pro něj zabijí i vysloužilého generála námořní pěchoty, jehož syn patří k nejlepším lovcům lidí ve službách TOSA. Ten se své práci věnuje už šest let. Nezná jméno, podobu ani místo pobytu nového cíle. Kazatel z toho však udělal osobní záležitost.

Pět povídek Fredericka Forystha provede posluchače londýnskými předměstskými brlohy, středověkou Siennou, letištěm v Heathrow i prériemi Little Big Hornu. V příbězích s propracovanou pointou se setkáváme se záhadnými vraždami, těžko vysvětlitelnými jevy i postavami, které jako by popíraly zákony časoprostoru. Skrze nečekanou zápletku, eskalaci napětí a dokonalou znalost prostředí, které jsou hlavními devízami Forsythova nezaměnitelného stylu, vypráví Kvintet příběhy o spravedlnosti, vině, odplatě a nevyzpytatelných cestách lidských osudů.

Mladík, který umírá ve washingtonské čtvrti Anacostia, by se ani v nejmenším nenadál, že jeho smrt vyvolá novou válku mocností. Tentokrát však nepůjde o politiku, o vojenskou převahu ani o zdroje surovin, tentokrát půjde o prostý bílý prášek zvaný kokain. Na jedné straně neúprosný a pohádkově bohatý kolumbijský Kartel, který pašuje stovky tun této omamné látky na americké a evropské trhy, na straně druhé supertajný projekt s krycím názvem Kobra, který mu má jeho nekalou činnost překazit.

Svět má za sebou newyorské a londýnské atentáty a západní bezpečnostní služby stojí před další teroristickou hrozbou. V počítači vysokého představitele Al-Kajdy jsou nalezeny dva podezřelé textové dokumenty. Objevuje se v nich výraz Al-Isra, odkazující k zázračnému zjevení ze života proroka Mohameda. Odborníci na Korán potvrzují, že může jít o nepředstavitelně ničivý úder. Zpravodajští experti se však brzy ocitnou na mrtvém bodě. Zbývá jediné - pokusit se proniknout přímo mezi vůdce arabských teroristů.

In Tough Cases, judges from different kinds of courts in different parts of the country write about the case that proved most difficult for them to decide. Some of these cases received international attention: the Elián González case in which Judge Jennifer Bailey had to decide whether to return a seven-year-old boy to his father in Cuba after his mother drowned trying to bring the child to the United States, or the Terri Schiavo case in which Judge George Greer had to decide whether to withdraw life support from a woman in a vegetative state over the wishes of her parents.

As a former slave and abolitionist, Frederick Douglass was an outspoken leader for African Americans. He wrote this text in response to the American Colonization Society, who believed that black Americans should emigrate back to Africa. Douglass staunchly opposed this notion, saying it was nonsense to displace eight million Americans to a country they didn’t know. He insisted that all Americans - black, white, mixed, or other - were entitled to equal citizenship in the country they were born in.

With this impassioned speech, abolitionist Frederick Douglass exposes the hypocritical racism of Christian churches. He shares examples of racism he’s seen or experienced in spiritual contexts, the worst being white slaveholders who used the Bible to justify slavery. As a former slave himself, Douglass had personal experience with southern preachers telling slaves that God wanted them to obey their masters. This powerful speech serves as both a historical record and a warning for modern listeners to be wary of those today who would use spirituality to manipulate others.

The Principles of Scientific Management by F.W. Taylor is a tremendously important book, the essence of which has had irreversible impact on the way we think about organized labour and management today. It is a product of many years of experimentation, uncertainty, and hard work, fused with thoroughly modernist ideals of a pedantic mind. This book is a culmination of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s career as, perhaps, the most famous management consultant. It stands on the shoulders of his previous examinations of the wage system and the operational characteristics of machine tools.

As much we would like to take pride in our self-sufficient independence, we are still humans and can’t do everything by ourselves. We all need a helping hand once in a while, so utilize your strengths and delegate your weaknesses. This particularly rings true for any leadership or team management role requiring handling and pulling a group of people together as one when bringing any task to fruition. Then how do you get people who have strengths in different areas to eagerly collaborate with everybody else as a unified team to achieve success?
