FIVE MINUTES TO LIVE by author David Porter is full of suspense and adventure. This christian fiction is the first book of the Matt Davenport Chronicles and is based on true Biblical events that will prove to keep you wanting more. Matt Davenport is an everyday good guy, happy to support his friend and secret crush, Jessica. So when she asks him to be her plus-one at a dinner where she'll be giving a talk about ground-breaking new science, Matt is expecting a fun-but normal-night. But their night on the town is anything but normal. Their ride is interrupted by a car collision-and a kidnapping-as Jessica is torn from the wreck and dragged away. Suddenly, Matt finds himself in a race to save his friend and protect her scientific discovery, alongside a stranger with mysterious ties to Israel's Mossad. The chase takes Matt from the U.S. to Tel Aviv, facing mercenaries and enemies at every turn. As he struggles to decipher clues that will lead him to his friend, it becomes clear that Jessica's scientific discovery poses a threat to Israel's security, one that dangerous people want to exploit. To rescue his friend and prevent the science from falling into the wrong hands, Matt has to figure out who to trust...especially the small voice inside him that's trying to guide him to Jessica and safety...before it's too late.

Accompanying the anthology, Wild Beasts and Plague (2018), here are new stories and re-dreamed tales from the 1960s to the present day and beyond.

Using extensive background research as well as interviews with the principal characters, Fixed provides the first in-depth reconstruction of the point-shaving scandal involving the 1978-1979 Boston College basketball team, from the genesis of the plot in the summer of 1978, through the uncovering of the scheme during an unrelated investigation in 1980, to the trial that captivated the sports world in the fall of 1981 and its aftermath. This multi-layered story of greed and betrayal combines sports, gambling, and the Mafia into an irresistible morality tale with a modern edge.
