When Peter Silver inherits the once-great network after his uncle's untimely demise, he finds himself trapped in a sitcom from hell. Armed with nothing but good intentions and a ragtag band of misfits, Peter wages war against Glenda's entrenched empire of incompetence and depravity. As Glenda loses control, she unleashes a storm of increasingly desperate and outrageous schemes. Her attempts to maintain power spiral into a whirlwind of corporate sabotage, blackmail, and absurd policy-making that threatens to tear Silvermax apart.

It takes a look at many different cultures, how they deal with love and marriage. This tale revolves around culture shock and class clash. Our protagonist Glenda marries five times to men of different nationalities in different countries. She progresses hopefully from the spineless wimp to the ultra-macho man of her dreams. Traveling from Tuxedo Park, to Ibiza, Mexico, Greece, Israel, Cyprus, Jordan, Turkey, and New York City, Glenda’s Wedding Night is doormat versus diva, wife versus mistress, career versus home, feminism versus machismo, quack versus witch, users and losers, playboys and wannabes, the Latin culture versus the Anglo culture, and immigrant versus blue-blood. It’s about what everybody thinks they’re missing in life, about dangerous liaisons and fatal attractions. It’s all here in a multicolored tapestry of steamy romance and bizarre travel, spanning decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 1958, and back in the day, the old folks still seemed to have a saying for everything, especially in Suffolk, Virginia. One such saying was that if a baby took eleven months to arrive on this side of the hereafter, that same baby would meet its guardian angel face-to-face and be guarded and protected for the childs lifetime. Believe it or not, theres something else the old folks use to say about such a mystic birth, and that was that if the baby was born with a thin membrane covering the face, not only would that child be able to actually see its guardian angel one day, but also will have the gift of predicting the future. The guardian angel bit of news was of particular importance because that child experienced the death of a loved one and numerous harsh circumstances in life as well.

Download or read book Hazard written by Gardiner Harris and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2010-03-16 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a block of coal the size of a stove shoots out of the wall, miner Amos Blevins barely has time to react before the entire area is flooded with water. He frantically tries to rescue his crewmates, but in an underground space that is pitch black and too cramped to even stand up, he can barely crawl to safety himself. Inspector Will Murphy is sent to investigate, ordered by his superiors to clear things up quickly so the mine can reopen. After all, if the mine closes, then miners lose their jobs, and so do mine inspectors. It seems to be a straight forward accident, but Will senses something suspicious about this case—or maybe he's just lashing out at his older brother, who has usurped his place as heir to the largest mining company in Eastern Kentucky and owner of the flooded mine—but Will has decided he won't let this one go, whatever it might cost him. Before he can get far, Will's witnesses start turning up dead. And Amos, who refuses to follow his boss's orders to lie to Will about conditions in the mine, finds the little he has threatened. Together, these two men will learn that in the mines, life, family, money, and power all come from one thing—coal. Drawing on his four years of reporting on the coal mines of Kentucky, Harris has painted a vivid portrait of rural Appalachia, beautifully capturing the place and culture of the mining community while weaving a complex and taut story of murder and corruption.
