Children in Tactical Gear offers a brilliant feed of stark incantations and unsparing satire. Set in distinctly American landscapes, including toy weapon assembly lines and the compounds of the super rich, and voiced by imperiled children, failed adults, and even a smart home speaker, this collection demonstrates the unsettling force of a surreal imagination under duress.

Medical support for special weapons and tactics (SWAT) units is different from civilian EMS in many ways. A tactical medical provider (TMP) is charged with providing life-saving care to downed SWAT officers and taking measures to defend against criminal suspects. Mastery of these skills requires extensive, specialized tactical emergency medical services (TEMS) training and experience in the tactical environment. Designed for EMS and medical professionals of all levels of training, Tactical Medicine Essentials provides the foundation needed to create world-class TMPs. Written by an experienced team of authors from diverse backgrounds, this text covers the essential curriculum of tactical medicine, including tactical patient assessment, expedient extrication and evacuation, and self-defense skills.

comes as a horrific shock when young Native American policeman Timothy Bear Child becomes a suspect in three Chicago murders. Not only does he face dangerous offenders on the job, but he now also faces hefty criminal charges. Bear Child retains the help of Native American ex-cop and private investigator Noel Two Horses. Along with friends, Two Horses plans to prove Bear Child’s innocent, all the while suspecting the young officer has been accused due to race-based discrimination, wrong place, wrong time. While dealing with a Sinaloa drug cartel shooter and a histrionic client, Two Horses flies under the radar of the police agencies that have wrongfully labeled Bear Child a serial murderer. Legal avenues might not be enough, however, as all involved creep ever closer to an OK Corral-type conclusion. Rick Church has written a wise and witty thriller, full of breathless encounters and dark, dry humor. It’s a fine read. Thomas Cobb, author of Crazy Heart

Twenty years into the future, a united collection of Mexican drug cartels are about to invade Arizona, led by a charismatic but psychotic leader. After years of intense and meticulous preparation, which included paying off or killing all the right people on either side of the border, the cartel is ready to make its move. Before the U.S. government can seal the border, hundreds of thousands of cartel men infiltrate the country as far north as Phoenix. Enter Mac, a ten-year-old boy with unlimited potential and incredible gifts to offer the world. But these gifts stem from an unthinkable childhood; he was molded by cruel and neglectful parents in an effort to enhance his unparalleled capabilities. The harsh tests inflicted by his parents consist of a series of elaborate punishments, seemingly inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's quotation: "That, which does not kill us, makes us stronger." It is during one of these tests, stranded in the Mexican desert, that Mac stumbles upon an ancient codex by a pre-colonial Spanish philosopher, whose parched pages contain the secret to achieving a perfect utopian society out of a self-destructive mankind. Representing the inverse morality, the cartel will stop at nothing to destroy the codex and the child that holds it. The hunt is on. About the Author: Michael "Mac" Centuori is about to graduate from the University of Arizona with a degree in Latin American studies and a minor in Spanish. Raised in Phoenix, he now lives in Tucson. He is working on the sequel, The Throw Away Kids. Publisher's website: http: //www.sbpra.com/MichaelMacCentuori
