The purpose of this book is not to sensationalize the demonic or to fill pages with shadowy speculation. Our aim is to equip believers with the knowledge, awareness, and strategies needed to...

Operational tempo in drone-saturated conflict follows a rhythm driven by timing pressure rather than force size or weapon range. Modern units face continuous observation, rapid sensor refresh, and short engagement windows. This book analyses how timing governs every action on the field, from detection and movement to fire support, logistics, electronic warfare, and command decisions. Classic doctrine assumed predictable cycles built on staggered reconnaissance, slower communications, and human-paced judgement. Drone dominance removes those buffers. Feeds update many times per minute, ...

In a buried command post lit by the cold blue glow of monitors, Lieutenant Anya Kovalenko — callsign Kestrel — fights a war with her mind. To her, the chaos of the front is not chaos at all. It is a system of variables, a real-time strategy game with the highest possible stakes, and she is a grandmaster. Then something on the other side starts winning. Her drones vanish clean out of the sky — no jamming signature, no wreckage, just silence. It isn't standard electronic warfare.

This book was originally published in 1658 as Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of it, The Danger of entering into it, and The Means of preventing...
