Some of you have been asking what book(s) to start with, here's a post to cover 4 primary answers depending on what you like -- there are lots more than just these, and all but one of these are multi-book series. If you're into traditional thrillers, then Perimeter and Multiverse are likely good book 1 choices, though if you ask me, I'd suggest starting with Perimeter because they're related series. Darwin's Cipher is a medical thriller and Primordial Threat is a heavy on the science and mildly futuristic Science Fiction Thriller. Below are the basic descriptions: 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫: (geni.us/Gn1TlOA) Levi Yoder is a man who solves problems—Mafia problems. But when he’s diagnosed with terminal cancer, there’s nothing left to fix. He prepares to die… until the impossible happens—he learns that he's in complete remission. Before he can make sense of his second chance, Levi is thrust into a deadly game of international espionage. The CIA claims the Russian mob is gunning for him, but the truth is even more dangerous—someone wants him dead because of something his late wife did. As Levi navigates a web of deceit, organized crime, and shadowy intelligence forces, he faces an enemy he might not be able to outmaneuver. Can he uncover the truth before he and his family become collateral damage? 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞: (geni.us/3zby0R) 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 What if your greatest scientific breakthrough became humanity’s biggest threat? Michael Salomon, a brilliant particle physicist, has just unlocked the secrets of tachyons—faster-than-light particles that could rewrite the laws of reality. But before he can even share his discovery, his research is seized by the government, and a stranger—one who knows his future—warns him that his work has already shattered time itself. A waking nightmare grips him: visions of a child he hasn’t lost—yet. A government that now hunts him. A student who remembers things they haven’t done—yet. Michael’s experiment didn’t just open a door; it shattered the walls between past, present, and future. Now, he must race against time—before the version of himself that already went too far dooms them all. From a 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 best-selling author, 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller that bends time, twists reality, and asks the ultimate question: 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞? 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐢𝐧'𝐬 𝐂𝐢𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫: (geni.us/94LpxLR) A revolutionary discovery. A lethal new threat. A race against time to save humanity. In Darwin’s Cipher, brilliant cancer researcher Juan Gutierrez uncovers a hidden genetic algorithm that can predict the path of a species’ evolution over millennia. His breakthrough offers a tantalizing hope for overcoming human vulnerability to disease—but shadowy forces have their own sinister plans for this genetic super-tool. When an FBI analyst investigating bizarre, unsolved cases is called out to a ranch with a single surviving calf surrounded by dead cattle, the DNA evidence points to something far beyond the ordinary. Meanwhile, a newborn child with an impossible genome sets off alarms at the NIH—and the race to contain a nightmarish outbreak begins. From hidden labs to high-security bio-containment units, Darwin’s Cipher hurtles you into a nerve-shredding chase where science, conspiracy, and evolution collide—with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about our genetic destiny. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭: (geni.us/ye6Y) The year is 2066, and the world is oblivious to the threat it faces. The fate of humanity lies on the shoulders of Burt Radcliffe, the new head of NASA's Near Earth Object program.

𝐎𝐁𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐉 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐘'𝐒 𝐃𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐑 — 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐍𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐅𝐔𝐋 A federal judge just overruled the Trump Justice Department's decision to fire one of its own prosecutors. 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧, an Obama appointee in Manhattan, ruled Monday that the DOJ's July 2025 firing of Maurene Comey — James Comey's daughter and the Assistant U.S. Attorney who helped convict Ghislaine Maxwell — violated the Constitution. Furman rejected the DOJ's argument that then-Attorney General Pam Bondi could remove a line prosecutor at will, without cause, and that current AG Todd Blanche could simply ratify the firing after the fact. He found it violated the 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬, Comey's due-process rights, and federal civil-service law — and ordered her 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 for the four months before she took a new job, with her personnel file rewritten to say she resigned instead of being fired.

Now an Obama-appointed judge is ordering taxpayers to cut her a back-pay check anyway. The DOJ fired her as part of a broader housecleaning of prosecutors tied to the Comey family after years of Russiagate and Clinton-email double standards. One district judge just decided that housecleaning needs his sign-off. No word yet on whether Main Justice appeals — but don't expect this ruling to be the last word. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞.

Hoffman says he had attended the free festival for nearly ten years without a problem. The reason, per the complaint: a new city event policy banning “𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬, 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.” One officer allegedly told him “𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮.” All Hoffman had done was ask people whether they wanted to talk about Jesus. Police then sent him to a barricaded “free expression zone” beside a busy street, which his lawyers at First Liberty Institute say made talking with passersby impractical. Meanwhile, First Liberty says, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 “𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐮𝐛” 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 were allowed throughout the festival. His attorney Garrett Bell put it plainly: “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳,” but you can’t talk about religion. Senior Counsel Nate Kellum called it “𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘥” to censor a Christian message at a public Christmas event. First Liberty sent a demand letter in December 2025 and says the city never responded. Now Hoffman is suing Tucson and the two named officers in federal court under the First Amendment, seeking an injunction so he can share the gospel at this year’s festival. The city says it does not comment on pending litigation. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞.

Donalds says a Florida State University analysis of the kind of plan Democrat 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 is pushing found premiums could 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 for coastal homeowners, on top of a flat $𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 hurricane assessment every Floridian would have to pay. “𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺.

Donalds calls it exactly what it is: “𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘶𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴. 𝘐𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦.” His own plan, he says, cuts bills 20 percent through common-sense market reform, not a bigger government insurance bureaucracy. Jolly disputes the $1,000 figure, and the underlying FSU research actually modeled a range of scenarios, not a guaranteed flat tax. But the core argument lines up with what Florida homeowners already know firsthand: when government tries to run the insurance market, the bill always lands on them. Donalds is betting voters remember who promised a tax hike and who promised relief. 𝐉𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲'𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 $𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐱 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. Source: @EricLDaugh xitter.cf/EricLDaugh/status/2114…

DHS General Counsel 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 posted that he "𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦" and found Diawara's original stated reason for fearing Mali wasn't his Christian faith at all — it was that he claimed to be “gay”.

Hanson says it comes down to energy and the Iran fight: Trump wants gas and diesel prices down, and Russia is trying to cash in on the shortfall by smuggling in refined fuel while Ukraine keeps striking Russian refineries in response. “𝘡𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘬𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘷𝘦 𝘬!𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 20,000 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦.” Trump has also pressed Zelensky to hold elections and restore habeas corpus — asking, as Hanson put it, “𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭” compared to FDR and Churchill, who both faced voters in the middle of world wars. It’s a messier picture than either “Trump loves Putin” or “Trump abandoned Ukraine” — a president pushing both sides toward an actual end to the war, while the people who spent a decade manufacturing the Russia-collusion narrative stay conveniently quiet about who really armed Kyiv.

The panel did not mince words. It called the district court proceedings “𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘫𝘰𝘣, 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵.” According to the Fifth Circuit's Oct. 22 ruling, Judge Henry Wingate's restraining order contained “𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥,” including “𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 ‘𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴’ 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳-𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴” and “𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘏.𝘉. 1193.” The judges said his analysis 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐩-𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭, and wrote that the court, “𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘈𝘐 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵,” had “𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘸, 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘧𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢.” The result: 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰 while the legal challenges continue. It bars K-12 schools, community colleges and public universities from keeping DEI offices or mandating diversity training, and schools that violate it risk their state funding. The challengers can keep fighting, but for now the ban is in effect, and the judge who blocked it is off the case.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted unanimously, with Republicans on the panel, to adopt guidance barring its use, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. The commission's stated reason is privacy. It says state law bars officials from disclosing voters' personal information, which makes SAVE “𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦” to use “𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥.” Chair Don Millis, a Republican, had earlier told legislative leaders the law would have to change first. The Fox guest argued the stakes are anything but abstract. According to the guest, Wisconsin has had elections decided by a tie or a single vote in the last dozen elections over four years, and the current Republican Assembly majority leader won his first race by just three votes. The Supreme Court lifted the injunction that had paused SAVE on Sept. 25, so no federal court is stopping Wisconsin. The state's own commission is. Republicans are now pushing for lawsuits and expanded poll watching. 𝐈𝐟 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐟𝐟-𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬?
