Agent Tanguy's fabled hard asset has always made him the go-to man for the nation's hardest jobs. Seduction, secrecy, and spying are Tanguy's game and nobody plays it better. At least, that's how it was before a secretive organization deep within the government got him by the balls. When Tanguy finds himself in a tryst as steamy as it is dangerous with the mysterious Aurora Diamondstreet, he wakes up one morning with something a whole lot more explosive than morning wood: actual explosives rigged to go off in his sack.

The Souls of Black Folk is a classic work by W. E. B. Du Bois. Originally published in 1903, it contains many essays on race and equality, but is also a piece of seminal history, laying the groundwork for the field of sociology. Some of the essays in the book were even previously published by the Atlantic Monthly magazine. When writing, Du Bois drew from his personal experiences as an African-American in America to highlight the issues of prejudice that were still going on into the 20th century.
