Book excerpt: Betty's knowledge has become a liability. She just simply wants a last skiing holiday, and then to die… peacefully, escaping her genetic illness - she understands that her time has come. But malign agents want her secret knowledge about the i-vector technology, and they have sophisticated plans to abduct her. In response, her colleagues have made a timeline change, tipping the balance back in Betty's favour; even though she, and they, cannot be aware of that in this altered timeline. But, in practice, attempts to change the timeline do not always deliver clear, clean results. And does Time, or the natural course of events, have an inertia of its own, resisting changes and trying to revert to the status quo of events? A tortuous journey, set in the present-day, beginning in a ski resort… This second book in the i-vector series, picks up the story following the timeline change made at the end of Book #1 "Schrödinger's Dog", or it can be enjoyed as a standalone Sci-Fi adventure read.

Download or read book Traces on the Water Mirror Volume I Dying to Get Rid of Communism written by Captain C and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism By: Captain C Traces on the Water Mirror: Volume I, Dying to Get Rid of Communism is an interesting book inspired by the author’s biography and not invented. It brings to light a group of people less investigated by the Romanian literature. The author has a vigorous and harsh style of writing, according to the character who are not made of cardboard, but they are real flesh and blood. I consider this novel, included into a trilogy, according to the author, to be well received by the public. Literary Critic Ioan Adam Captain C is a rare sea writer, coming from a professional of the sea. The novel shapes the authentic feeling of the sea and an unmistakable human solidarity, revealed in its total plenitude and deepness, only in the conditions of a concrete travel by sea. Novelist Ovidiu Dunăreanu

Download or read book The Call to Serve written by Jon Meacham and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In honor of the one hundredth anniversary of George H. W. Bush’s birth, this visually stunning chronicle features never-before-published photos and memories celebrating the forty-first president’s vision of leadership as service to country—curated by Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer Jon Meacham. Lavishly illustrated, The Call to Serve is an intimate, illuminating portrait of the forty-first president, a man who was so much more than just his politics. In words and images—many found in a lifetime of scrapbooks kept by Barbara Pierce Bush—Jon Meacham brings George H. W. Bush vividly to life. From the values of integrity, empathy, and grace that Bush learned in childhood to his leadership at the highest levels in tumultuous times, the forty-first president embodied an ideal of service that warrants attention in our own divided time. Bush pursued a life of service to America through his heroic combat experience in the Pacific during World War II, his political rise in Texas, his serving as U.S. ambassador to the UN, his time as envoy to China and as director of the CIA, his tenure as Ronald Reagan’s vice president, and his election as the forty-first president of the United States. Set against the background of America during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this book commemorates the legacy of a man who was far from perfect—he could be cutthroat on the campaign trail—but whose ambition was not an end unto itself. Bush’s drive to succeed was, rather, a means to put the values of balance, patriotism, and respect for others into action in the political arena. Toward the end of Bush’s life, the forty-fourth president, Barack Obama, said that Bush put the country first “both before he was president, while he was president, and ever since.” Featuring more than 450 photographs, Meacham’s introduction and commentary throughout, and narration drawn from his biography of George H. W. Bush, Destiny and Power, this is an essential tribute to a uniquely American life.

Book excerpt: A couple finds their perfect beach vacation shattered when MI5 use their villa to spy on the crime boss next door in the newest thriller from the "best spy novelist ever" (Philadelphia Inquirer) MI5 officer Winnie Monks has never forgotten - or forgiven - the brutal murder of a young agent on her team at the hands of a former Russian Army officer turned fixer and criminal known as the Major. Now, ten years later, she learns that the Major is travelling to a villa at the popular Spanish holiday destination Costa del Sol, and she asks permission to send in a surveillance unit. The spooks locate an empty property near the Major's: the Villa Paraiso. It's perfect to spy from - and as a base for Winnie's darker, less official, plans. But it turns out the villa isn't deserted. The owners have invited a young British couple to house sit while they are away. Jonno and Posie, a new couple, think they are embarking on a romantic, carefree break in the sun. But when the MI5 team arrives in paradise, everything changes—their holiday is about to become a terrifying journey into the violent global business of organized crime in The Outsiders by Gerald Seymour—a sophisticated thriller from a renowned master.

Book excerpt: This book contains analyses and case studies regarding the former political prisoners' and their families' fates impacted by the Communist dictatorships in Central and Eastern Europe (Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Republic of Moldova, Albania). The focus of research is extended from the individuals to the social context in which they functioned, as they were actors in flawed systems which were ready to harshly limit not only their actions but also of those closest to them. The case studies trace disruptions and distortions of broken lives along with strategies to reclaim and restore an apparent 'normalcy'. Cosmin Budeanca, PhD., is expert at The Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile.
