Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurtling towards a midlife crisis, Amirtham is down - but not out. Caught in a sorry vortex of self-denial and what-could-have-been, the discontented government official wants to do the impossible - be young again. Having decided that his marriage is sparkless and his spouse unremarkable, he decides to woo a much younger theatre actress who vaguely resembles his witty and opinionated ex. As Amirtham gives into self-aggrandizing visions - glamorizing a humdrum life coming apart at the seams - he flails and fails in the tangles of his own making. In this deeply insightful novel, both endearing and heartbreaking, urban Delhi of early seventies is brought alive by Tamil literary icon, Sahitya Akademi fellow and Padma Shri-awardee Indira Parthasarathy. Hilarious, reflective and wise, this moving tale expertly courses through unsettling remorse, directionless passion, and the fragile business of loving and being loved.

Download or read book Flight of the Old Dog written by Dale Brown and published by Trident E-Book Distribution Services. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight of the Old Dog is one of the original and classic military techno-thrillers in the entire world. It is the basis of the PC flight simulator "Megafortress" published by Three-Sixty Pacific. It has been translated into twelve languages, and sales have exceeded a million copies. The United States and the Soviet Union are on the brink of nuclear war. At a top-secret research facility at Kavaznya, Sibera, the Soviets have developed a ground-based laser weapon capable of shooting down American satellites, and they are betting that the American president doesn't have the guts to risk starting a nuclear exchange. But at a top-secret flight test site in the Nevada desert called "Dreamland," a team of test pilots and engineers have created the Megafortress: a venerable B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers modified with stealth technology, computers, digital avionics, state-of-the-art weaponry, and performance-enhancing features that makes it unlike any B-52 bomber--or any other warplane--ever flown. Now it's time to flight-test the Megafortress, and the Air Force assembles the best pilots, bombardiers, and navigators to see what this creation can do. One of them is Captain Patrick McLanahan, considered the best B-52 bombardier in the Air Force. The others on the crew are hard-charging pilots and world-class engineers, and McLanahan is nothing like them. But the team leader and aircraft commander, Lt. General Brad Elliott, can see that McLanahan is a quiet professional and a natural-born leader. Soviet spies soon discover the Megafortress, and they recognize that a fleet of these advanced planes can practically neutralize all of the Soviet Union's air defenses. Back-channel negotiations begin, and the U.S. is willing to mothball the Megafortress if the Soviets mothball the Kavaznya laser. That is completely unacceptable to the Soviet leader, and he hatches a daring plan to deal with the Megafortress while keeping his devastating laser weapon. Just prior to a live fire flight test, a team of Russian commandos invade Dreamland with the goal of stealing the Megafortress…or destroying it. The crew just barely manages to escape. The American president orders the top-secret aircraft back to Dreamland, but Brad Elliott and the vice president hatch a daring plan of their own: use the Megafortress to penetrate the Soviet Union's stiff air defenses and destroy the Kavaznya laser. Thus begins the aerial cat-and-mouse game across ten thousand miles and wave after wave of the Soviet Union's most advanced air defenses and fighter-interceptors, which are all on full alert. Most of the Megafortress's crew have no military training. They have supplies for only a few hours, and are outfitted for the deserts of southern Nevada, not the frigid steppes of Siberia. They have flown the Megafortress only a few times, and only in carefully scripted test flights. With Brad Elliott at the controls, Patrick McLanahan realizes that it's up to him to organize and get the rest of the crew ready for the fight of their lives.

Download or read book Alaska Highway written by Ed Readicker-Henderson and published by Hunter Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 20012-06-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive and enjoyable guide to traveling the highway, from British Columbia up to Prudhoe Bay. Covers Fairbanks, Anchorage, Denali National Park, Valdez and much more. Filled with inside tips on where to see wildlife, the sites you shouldn't miss, the best places to camp. You'll also find information on sidetrips along alternate highways: the Top-of-the-World, the Haines, the Stewart-Cassiar, the South Klondike, the Richardson and the Glen. A one-stop resource for Alaska-bound travelers. Includes a detailed chapter on the Alaska Marine Highway, the ferry system that is one of the best ways to see and reach otherwise inaccessible areas. While the Milepost will give you every pullout and scenic view on the highway, this book is great reading about what to do, and what to see on your way. The information is very accurate and interesting. In this book, when you look up a certain place you end up reading on and on.--Amazon.com customer I recently rode my motorcycle up the Alaska Highway and space was pretty limited. I photocopied pages out of various other books, but brought this one along intact. It stayed in my tankbag every day, was brought out at every meal, and was pored over in hotel rooms at night. I'm also a writer, and my Adventure Guide to the Alaska Highway became my de facto notebook on the trip--post-it notes of every color peek out from its pages; notes line the margins. There are a finite number of places to stop along the Alaska Highway; most guidebooks will give you pretty much all of them. What makes this one different is its tone. The authors obvious enjoy both the road and writing about it. Personal anecdotes are lightly sprinkled into the text, giving the impression that yes, the authors know what they're talking about. I learned little bits of history about the areas I rode through; not so much that it weighed down the book, but just enough to pique my interest and send me scampering to the library once I got back. Also, the book is laid out very well. The font is easy on the eyes; bold section headers made it easy to find what I was looking for, even while balancing the book on my tankbag after pulling to the side of some gravelly road in the middle of nowhere.--Carolyn Boyce, reader If you think you'll ever want to plan a trip either by car or motorcycle to the great state of Alaska, this book is a must-have. Not only does provide everything you could ever ask for, it comes in a small package that packs away nicely.-- Big D (reader) I took this book with the AAA guidebook on my trip to Alaska, read the AAA intro on the plane there and read only this book for the rest of the trip. We traveled more than 2,000 miles on the Alaska Highway. This book has been a great companion and guide book wherever we go. I even did some more reading on the plane back home because the writing was interesting. It may be partly because Alaska is such an interesting subject; but the book is definitely fun to read.--Amazon.com customer
Download or read book The Saga of the Nuleys Volume One written by Terrance Tracy and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Saga of the Nuleys: Volume One By Terrance Tracy “Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.” - Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson In the 21st century, Tracy Michaels accidentally stumbled down a steep hill and discovered an ancient artifact written in a Native American dialect. Tracy brought the relic to his long-time friend, John Wisebear Spangler. By this discovery, their lives are dramatically altered when a fourteen year quest for the truth of their ancestry in the 18th century begins. Angus McNuley, an enigmatic character in 18th century England, and Sir Percival Slater begin a dire circumstance which lasted for three generations of the Nuley family. The Saga of the Nuleys: Volume One is how one man’s love was tragically thwarted by one man’s bitterness and the effects of Manifest Destiny on the Native Americans. Joshua Nuley, in the second part of the novel, learns how his destiny was shaped by Angus McNuley and altered by Robert Slater.
