A new thriller series I discovered is Chuck Dixon‘s Levon Cade series. At this time there are almost a dozen novels in it.
For those not aware, Chuck Dixon is a long-time comicbook writer who has worked on a variety of characters at several publishers. I’ve read his stuff on Eclipse Comics’ Airboy series, but he has worked on The Punisher, Batman, and other characters and titles.
When I heard of this series, it was loosely described as “a former military man who used to be a black-ops soldier, now finds himself using those skills.” Another description compared him to Jack Reacher, another ex-military character that I’ve enjoyed reading.

Ethnic group
The history of the Jews in Egypt goes back to ancient times. Egyptian Jews or Jewish Egyptians refer to the Jewish community in Egypt who mainly consisted of Egyptian Arabic-speaking Rabbanites and Karaites.[3] Though Egypt had its own community of Egyptian Jews, after the Jewish utvisning from Spain more Sephardi and Karaite Jews began to migrate to Egypt, and then their numbers increased significantly with the growth of trading prospects after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. As a result, Jews from many territories of the Ottoman Empire as well as Italy and Greece started to settle in the main cities of Egypt, where they thrived (see Mutammasirun). The Ashkenazi community, mainly confined to Cairo's Darb al-Barabira quarter, began to arrive in the aftermath of the waves of pogroms that hit europe in the latter part of
