America's influence wanes around the world as political turmoil in the U.S. fuels the growth of the brutal Islamic Caliphate. Over-extended intelligence assets tracking the global Islamist movement struggle to piece together random bits of information about a mysterious place in the Afghan mountains called the Valley of Stars. The Valley is a treasure trove of precious metals and gem stones that could fund global Islamic extremism for generations and ignites a race to secure it. The crisis forces Secretary of Defense Madeline Coltrain to fight a political war with her nemesis at State, and a shooting war with a drastically eroded military capability. Coltrain must walk a fine line between what's needed to meet the threat and what's constitutional as she stretches the boundaries of the President's directives.

As the battle for the Valley rages, a new set of leaders emerges from unlikely places.

Lieutenant Colonel DB Watkins, a highly decorated American commander with a reputation of building relations with local leaders. And Staff Sergeant Shirin Kirkorian, nicknamed "e;The Lioness,"e; an intelligence asset and first female to complete Ranger training who balances deference to Islamic customs and culture with deadly efficient combat skills. They form a lethal triad to counter the savagery of the Islamist forces aligned against them. The tentacles of the Caliphate's violent ideology expand across the globe, and blurs the lines between ally and enemy. The twisting confluence of Islamic extremism, politics, and war force the players to battle both external, and internal enemies. As the scope and ferocity of the fighting expands across Afghanistan, it threatens to engulf the whole world in a gripping story of faith, conflict, intrigue, and heroism.

Don't betray! Cover someone today! "The Leader Who Covers" is another spiritually-riveting and incisive book in which Apostle Winston Baker explains how God wants his leaders to operate. From a biblical perspective, Apostle Baker compares persons who covered the anointing with those who did not and underscores the blessings that comes with honouring the anointing - the way God intends it. Author_Bio: From the author of "Warring Unclean Spirits" comes "The Leader Who Covers." Apostle Winston Baker, a dynamic preacher and devout father of six beautiful children whom are also a part of the body of Christ, continues to allow God to use him in delivering the kingdom message to His people. He has been saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost for over twenty years. On him, God has placed an extra-ordinary anointing and gifting by the Holy Ghost and there is no denying that many signs and wonders have been wrought through him. With humility and holiness, Apostle Baker follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit as he displays the truth about God. He currently spearheads the King Jesus Pentecostal Fellowship; a vibrant and fast growing ministry second to none in this season. In his Ministry, the lame walks, the blind sees, the dumb speaks, HIV/AIDS and Cancer healed and the demon possessed set free; as there is no refutation that Satan acted ultra-vires and was thrown out of heaven; and that since then he has been trying to wreak havoc on the lives of God's people by diverting their attention from the truth about salvation. Apostle Baker is a tested, tried and proven under-shepherd whose vehement mission is the winning of souls for the kingdom of heaven and the waging of war against the kingdom of darkness. He is a true and powerful man of God, chosen for such a time as this.
