It is March 2013. The 2012 U.S. elections have just been fiercely fought at a level of intensity that made 2004 and 2008 look mild. The key issue has been energy. The world is in an energy crisis. Chinas energy demands have escalated beyond levels that even their own energy analysts and planners totally unanticipated. CIAs predictions were right on, but no one in Washington listened.

As the U.S. fought its election, worse events occurred. The House of Saud has imploded, with a night of the long knives in Riyadh. Islamic Fundamentalists gain power in an atmosphere of insurrection and chaos. Oil fields are ablaze, and Saudi oil is on hold. Terrorists mine the Straits of Hormuz, and Lloyds of London restrictions bring most tanker movements in and out of the Gulf to a standstill. Asia and Europe are in economic crisis, stock markets have slumped out of control, and the U.S. is now at the center of the worst world crisis since World War II. What will the new President, Angela Truman, do?

At the center of this crisis is the United States Navy, and at the heart, and indeed very depths, of the action is the Submarine Force of the United States Pacific Fleet. Commander Mark Clark, the submarine commander of the USS Virginia, will play a role that could save this crisis. If he makes the wrong calls, the world could be plummeted into war.

Can Clark and his crew avert the impending world disaster, and can the new Washington elite handle the crisis? Will the murky worlds of CIA and MI-6 make a difference, with a critical plot emerging in China and an analysis team at Langley working against the odds and the clock? Will CIAs and MI-6s agents in Beijing survive? Can the new, untried President Angela Truman make the difference that will stop China from its headlong dash for resource seizure?

Great shelves
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
These are cute and easy to install. They were the perfect size for the location. I did use other drywall mounts to make sure they were more likely to stay in but after I installed they feel sturdy and reliable.

Different mounting mechanism than photos
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
I'm going to start off this review by stating that the mounting mechanism used on the Shelf is different than the one shown in the photo. In the photo, it shows a single bar which would have made the Shelf easier to level however, the product I received has two separate bars which means I have to be extra careful holding a level against the paper. Stencil. The reason I chose this product over different listings was because for a dollar or two more its photo showed a single bar. Now for the pros and cons: Pros: Accurate measurement. Shelf appears to be actual wood! The photos made it looks like a veneer, which it is not. Easy to install. Includes good instructions. Seems like it can hold items fairly well. Cons: The mounting hardware for drywall pretty flimsy, and I stripped out some of the drywall anchors during install. They still worked, but it was annoying to finish inserting them. The shelf doesn't sit fully flush to the wall from factory as the screws included make it protrude slightly. I can fix this with my dremel, However, This could have been solved from the factory by making the cavity slightly deeper. As mentioned above in my main detractor, it is a two bar mounting system rather than a one bar, which was shown in the photo.

Pleased overall
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
They have an unfinished feel, and the underside screws used to hold the shelf on the poles strip out really easy. Tighten those by hand and with care. Other than that, they look great and were easy to install. Came with a full set of hardware including anchors for various wall types. Stable enough to hold small to medium sized Lego sets (don't try to put Lego Hogwarts size kits on them--not big enough). Bought 3 sets of 4 and used others as Book shelves. They work very well for novel size or paperback sized books. Just make sure you anchor them well into the wall. These will only be as good as the installation.

Nice and Inexpensive!
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Thé shelves are good quality and easy to hang. Thé instructions do leave a bit to be desired as they misidentify which anchor to use for dry wall. I followed instructions for the first shelf and it was not very stable. I switched to the other anchors and it was great. All hardware in included. These require minimum size holes in your wall, but it is a floating shelf so be prepared to patch when you take them down.  It’s a set of 4 so a good value!
