In this shocking memoir, a former FBI informant reveals what he learned from successfully infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan in the backwoods of the Sunshine State, uncovering details about the hate group's structure and its modern far-right spinoffs which are operating to achieve the same goal: inciting a second civil war by whatever violent means necessary.

We need you back.

It was a call FBI informant and former Army sniper Joe Moore never expected to get. He'd already infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan once before, and his contributions prevented an assassination attempt targeting then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Moore nearly lost his life in the process. But now, the FBI needed Moore's help once again.

In White Robes and Broken Badges, Moore reveals the astounding true story of how he became one of the most entrenched and valuable undercover agents in the FBI's history. Gripping, told with astonishing detail, this heart pounding and darkly propulsive memoir vividly recounts how he infiltrated the Invisible Empire at the highest levels--not once, but twice--becoming a Grand Knighthawk, overseeing security, defense, and internal communications for the domestic terrorist group across Florida and Georgia. Moore makes clear how the seeds of violence and hate spawned the tragedy in Charlottesville, the failed January 6 Capitol coup, and the growing threat posed by extremist militias--including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and others.

Going undercover, Moore discovered the shocking connections between the KKK and law enforcement across Florida--police officers, prison guards, and sheriff's deputies who all belonged to the Klan--and eventually exposed the terrifying presence of right-wing extremists throughout law enforcement today. Moore reflects on the steep personal costs of immersing himself in the Klan's racist ideology and twisted rituals--and its effect on himself and his family--while secretly providing the FBI with invaluable information on the Klan's inner workings, murderous plots, and plans for civil war.

With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin and illustrated with 8-pages of color photos, White Robes and Broken Badges is a comprehensive and unprecedented look at a growing threat in America and an urgent call-to-action--because ultimately, the answers to healing the divides in this country lie in its perilous history.

It devastated the earth thousands of years ago. Its remnants are scattered across the human genome waiting to be reassembled into a deadly viral killer. Now a new generation of suicide bombers will use the virus to kill with something as innocent as a cough. Everyone is a target. No one can survive. Only one person can stop the heinous plot and its mastermind. Cotten Stone.

From the Amazon rainforest to the remote hills of West Virginia, to a secret passage beneath a medieval castle, to the darkest place on earth-North Korea-Cotten Stone must prevent the greatest threat to mankind since the Black Plague. In doing so, she uncovers Unit 731, the long-buried atrocity of WWII, exposes one of the most disturbing secrets in America's history, and pays the ultimate price-selling her soul to the Forces of Darkness.

Forged by the seventh-generation grandson of Adam, used to pierce the side of Christ at the Crucifixion, and possessed by some of history's most powerful men-Constantine, Attila the Hun, Adolf Hitler, Harry Truman-the Holy Lance is about to be used again. The Forces of Evil intend to use the ancient relic to launch the Hades Project and bring humankind to its knees.

From the Kremlin to the Vatican to an Ethiopian church housing the Ark of the Covenant, Cotten Stone races to find the Holy Lance. Time is running out as Cotten confronts the man who holds in his hand the destiny of the world, a man who died more than 85 years earlier.

Praise for THE HADES PROJECT

THE HADES PROJECT is an exceptional novel, a dark labyrinth of suspense, international intrigue and apocalyptic horror. The characters, the pacing and the amazing premise of this series are all first-rate. Cotten Stone is a heroine for the ages. Sholes & Moore are very talented writers indeed. - Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling co-author of Relic

Faith, Hope & Reindeer is the second in The Santa Claus Trilogy and is the only book in the three that takes place entirely during Christmas. The other novels span the entire year (or years). Then again, a little Christmas throughout the year is not a bad thing, in my opinion.

Santa's Message - Always Pick Up After Yourself

Beautiful paper, intricate bows, whimsical gift tags, colorful ribbons, all are the work of one of Santa's most creative elves, Shelley Wrapitup. Just as her name suggests, she wraps all the presents and puts the tags on good and tight, so Santa knows just where they go.

No matter the shape or size, every gift receives Shelley's special attention before loading it on Santa's sleigh. She's the person who always makes Christmas so much fun. Through colorful illustrations, rhyme, and alluring details, Shelley's book teaches your child to read in a fun and engaging way.

And even though Shelley can make a huge mess, she always cleans up after herself. And that is the message from Santa to your child at the end of Shelley's story.

About Santa's Elf Series(c) by the author, Joe Moore:

Even as I was writing the first novel in the Santa Claus Trilogy, I envisioned an entire world at the top of the globe. I knew the most die-hard believer in Santa Claus would realize that this magical gift-giver would need assistance in achieving his task at Christmas.

So I began to think about who these helpers were, and what their responsibilities to Santa might be. Then I started writing. And to my surprise, as I wrote, the stories came out of me in rhyme The cadence and beat of the verses were lyrical. As I spoke to others, including a good many teachers and librarians, they told me this was the easiest way for children to learn and that I should keep the verses coming.

As Santa, I also heard from parents about their frustrations trying to instruct their children in the primary lessons of life; such as picking up after themselves, being polite, sharing, brushing their teeth, and so on. So I put a special message from Santa Claus at the end of each story about each of these lessons. Even complex problems like bullying, showing gratitude, and listening to elders get addressed in these books. It never hurts to learn these lessons throughout the year.

I wrote nearly 20 books in this series, each focusing on a particular elf and their role to Santa. My wife and illustrator, Mary, is doing her best to get these magical tales drawn and into your child's hands. Since she works so hard fully illustrating every page and includes elements like shapes, colors, and even geography, it takes her a little while to complete each book. We have a half dozen released and more in the works.

I have already heard about new traditions started during Christmas with my Santa Claus Trilogy and families. I am hoping that these will also become part of your celebrations.

Make Santa's Elf Series(c) a new tradition for your family and collect the entire series. The following is a list of the currently published books in the series:

Terror from the sky. What if I told you all the beautiful birds that we love and feed suddenly changed and began to feed on us?

It happened once in a sleepy resort town in Northern California called Bodega Bay. Now more than 55 years later, it begins again. But it is far worse this time. Species of birds including not just crows and sea gulls, but hawks, eagles and vultures have joined the invasion.

What caused this? Why is it happening? Tory McKnight, a student of ornithology from UCSD becomes swept up in a nightmare from her beloved birds, and must try to solve the mystery before the whole town gets killed and a nationwide pandemic ensues.

This Hitchcock-style suspense thriller was inspired by the movie The Birds, and the short story from Daphne du Maurier. Return of the Birds will have you searching the skies, and both scared to read more but unable to put it down. Hurry, enjoy this before they gather again.

Interview with the author:

This book is very distinctive from your others, why did you write it?

Every person has a darker side. I was always intrigued by the movie but felt too many questions were left unanswered. It niggled at me all my life and every time I watched it. I had to write the sequel.

Do you answer every question?

Most of the questions get addressed, but in so doing more questions and concerns arise. There remains a good deal of suspense throughout the book and beyond. Possible sequel?

Will you write other books in this genre?

This book was the one burning inside me most of my long life. Aside from a possible sequel to Return of the Birds, I have some other ideas which are growing in my head. If you are familiar with me at all, you already know I write in multiple genres from children's books and family reads to mythology, folklore, and Christmas. The next series of books that I am working on currently features a time-traveling elf named Aeon Millennium.

So, why should readers give this book a try?

Do you love a classic cliffhanger? Do you like thrillers? Do you appreciate great suspense reads? If you do, you will thoroughly enjoy this book. It is longer than the short stories it was inspired by, but then it has extra twists and turns that add to the storyline. Enjoy

You may know their names. But do you know how and why their names came to be? Did you know there is a reason for the order they are in on the team? And how did they, amongst all the reindeer in and around the North Pole, earn a coveted position on the Christmas Eve sleigh run?

Santa's Message - Be Polite and Always Show Respect

What if I told you Santa Claus needed a great deal of help all year? Almost every person has heard the stories and legends about his famous Christmas Eve journeys. But few know about his helpers and what they do all year long. Santa has a great many elves who make the things he accomplishes possible.

Santa, with the help of the North Pole, developed a series to teach young and old alike about some of his best elves. This series explains what they do at the North Pole through rhyme and beautiful illustrations. Beginning with this book, Santa's World, he talks about how it would be impossible to do his job without help.

More importantly, Santa's World explains the genuine reason why Santa brings gifts. It is because he wants to demonstrate God's love, and remind them of the greatest gift of all time. That is, and always has been, the real reason of Christmas.

The author also added a special message from Santa Claus about showing respect by saying please, thank you, and excuse me when interrupting or bumping into someone. Something all children should learn and practice everyday.

Santa's Message - Say Your Prayers and Give Your Worries to God

What if I told you hundreds of thousands of elves came and went to the North Pole every night? Add to this, one of Santa Claus' most important elves was keeping an eye on who is naughty and nice all day long.

Let us introduce you to Keeney Eagleye, Naughty/Nice List Manager of the North Pole. He is the one that the elves meet at night, as they fly up in their jet packs. After reporting to Keeney, he updates and manages the lists before bringing them to Santa.

With rhyme, stunning pictures, and a charming story, this book teaches children to behave whether at home, school, or with their friends. Just as importantly, Santa's message in this book is to always say your prayers and give your worries to God.

Matt Skyler stepped onto the windswept deck and filled his lungs with fresh ocean air. Alone, he stared out at a moonless night. The stars washed across the heavens and glistened off the water. A flash of light caught his attention. A large object moved on a parallel course with the ship-it blocked out the reflected starlight. Skyler made out faint white lines of foam curling along its edge. His eyes adjusted and his pulse quickened. It was something he'd seen before on another night, another ocean. The low round profile with its slight humped back, the tall stark tower topped with antennas, and the tail fin that cut through the water like a shark's. There was no mistaking the distinctive profile of the Yankee-class Soviet nuclear submarine. It bore no markings, only a single black flag flying from the tower. Its insignia-a white skull and crossbones.

This book concentrates on existing realities on potentials for yet-to-be-explored developments in Japan's postwar history. It focuses on the unresolved conflicts beneath the smooth surface of managed capitalism in Japan.

What is an enigma? According to the dictionary definition it is; a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. Santa Claus fits into all three parts of this definition.

He is certainly mysterious, popping in and out of homes at Christmastime without people knowing he has been there and gone.

Santa is puzzling. Precisely why does he bring toys and gifts to the Christian world, and ask nothing in return except good behavior from the recipients?

And through his flying around the world with unusual modes of transportation, distributing billions of presents, and answering to a variety of names and dress, Santa is difficult to understand to the common man or woman.

This book will solve many of the questions above and a few more. The elves compiled the most sought after questions and secrets about this mysterious gift-giver. They put forth explanations to answer, and help understand how things work in the North Pole and with Santa Claus.

You now have the answers in your hand. Enigma solved.
