It's 1945, the Japanese war machine is crumbling, and General George C. Marshall wants to deal the enemy a lethal blow using counterintelligence officers behind enemy lines in the China, Burma, and India theater. Their mission? Eliminate the Japanese Army's secret biological and chemical research program known as Unit 731. United States Army Counterintelligence Agent Jonathan Preston leads the King Cobra team, a group of Allied agents, through the deadly jungle landscape and behind Japanese lines, parachuting into enemy territory, and dodging Japanese patrols and as well poisonous snakes, leeches, tigers, and dozens of deadly tropical diseases. After King Cobra succeeds in raiding prisoner-of-war camps and freeing hundreds of Allied soldiers-killing Japanese sibling agents in the process-Preston and his colleagues must also evade the team of elite Japanese assassins hell-bent on their demise. A gripping tale based on actual US counterintelligence missions, Call for Blood explores the little-known crimes and atrocities committed by Unit 731 and gives readers a front row seat for one of the most fascinating dramas of World War II.

World War II has finally ended, but for Jonathan Preston-the US Army's most successful covert operative-a new mission is just beginning. Preston must lead a team of American intelligence agents to find several hundred thousand tons of gold, precious gems, and antiquities that were plundered from invaded Asian countries by the Japanese during the war. Although initial reports claimed the gold was in Japan, Preston learns from a surrendered Japanese general officer that it was sent to the Philippines for safekeeping. Preston and his team race to Luzon and soon discover the spoils have been scattered across multiple countries. But they're not the only operatives eager to possess the stolen gold and other valuables. A slew of dangerous thugs, corrupt politicians, and ruthless underground organizations are also on the hunt. Among them is Japanese assassin Asami Nakada, who wants revenge against Preston's team after they took out her own band of female assassins during a mission in India six months prior. It's imperative that Preston and his American operatives recover the gold first. If it falls into Russian, Filipino, or Japanese control, deadly forces may rise again to cause even greater destruction.

Building confidence in children is one of the most important steps educators and parents can take to ensure an atmosphere for learning. When kids achieve something, whether it's riding a bike, learning to do a math problem, or mastering a new martial art form, they get a sense of being more able and capable. As they achieve and learn more skills, they can more easily tap into that high-octane fuel called confidence.

Discipline may be the most essential key to excellence that a child can learn. Children that are disciplined will grow up learning critical life skills like self-control, respect, persistence, resilience, and patience. They learn to respect their parents, teachers, authority figures, and themselves. And they develop social skills-empathy, patience, compassion, and knowing how to share-which are essential for making friends and sustaining healthy relationships.Not only is discipline good for children, but it is necessary for their happiness and well-being. It is as vital for healthy child development as nutritious food, physical exercise, mental activity, and nurturing love. With discipline, children develop the right tools necessary to navigate personal and work-related relationships. They build knowledge of what is right and wrong, self-discipline, respect for others, self-confidence, personal integrity, and the ability to work and cooperate with their peers.
