Download or read book The Locksley Exploit written by Philip Purser-Hallard and published by Snowbooks Ltd. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s 2015, and Camelot and Sherwood are at war. The Circle, the UK paramilitary agency whose Knights carry the devices of the members of King Arthur’s Round Table, is hunting the Green Chapel, eco-activists allied to Robin Hood’s Merry Men. For the Knights, this quest is personal as well as political: the Chapel’s leader, Jory Taylor, is himself an errant Knight – and he has stolen the Holy Grail from the British Museum. But this war is fought with modern weapons, and nowhere – from the Circle’s Thameside fortress to a Bristol squat, from the oldest pub in England to a music festival in Cheshire – will remain untouched. Before long, the enmity between its greatest heroes will tear Britain apart. Philip Purser-Hallard is a master craftsman. His stories are both cleverly constructed and wrought in the sharpest prose, and he's always a joy to read. Not to be missed. -- George Mann Purser-Hallard takes urban fantasy back from fey vampires and rugged werewolves and puts it firmly back where it belongs, rooted deep in the myths and legends of old Britain. He combines a startlingly original premise with some bloody good story-telling. I'm in for the long run, and you should be too. -- Simon Morden (Philip K Dick Award winner, The Samuil Petrovich trilogy)

Download or read book The Worst of Times written by Nigel Gray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2017. This book was created as a result of the anger the author when he first encountered the arguments of a school of economic historians who claim that there was no Great Depression in Britain between the wars. Broadly, they suggest that while some traditional industries were badly affected, new ones like man-made fibres and electricity supply rose to prosperity. The gross national product increased over the period, and many people became steadily more affluent. Radio sets, seaside holidays, even family cars, became commonplace.

Download or read book The GM written by Tom Callahan and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 2006, the NFL’s most senior general manager, Ernie Accorsi, invited Tom Callahan “inside” the Giants organization to experience a season—Accorsi’s last—from the front office, the locker room, the sidelines, and the tunnel. Tom made no promises, except that he’d bring to the project the same fairness and thoroughness that characterized his acclaimed Unitas biography, Johnny U. The result is a remarkable book that is at once a chronicle of a tumultuous season and the story of the NFL over the last three and a half decades, told through the eyes of a man who has dedicated his life to football. The Giants started the season with high expectations, hoping to ride the talent of players like Eli Manning, Jeremy Shockey, and Tiki Barber to the Super Bowl, but the team quickly fell apart due to injuries. The GM goes far beyond the specifics of a single season, though. In a marriage of two great raconteurs, one lobbing stories and the other neatly catching them, Callahan and Accorsi—writer and subject—show how the pro game (and the league that showcases it) really works, and the peculiar role of today’s general manager, who must be part seer, part accountant, balancing psyches and salary caps. At its essence, The GM is the story of the job—of what it means to be the guy who makes the decisions . . . who’s second-guessed by fans and the media . . . who must deal with endless—and sometimes impossible—expectations. Filled with the vivid anecdotes and storytelling that made Johnny U a surprise bestseller, The GM doesn’t just illuminate. It inspires with its portrait of a consummate football-personnel strategist who, over the course of decades, gave everything to the game he loved.

Download or read book Suppressed Evidence written by Paco Vinegar and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘SUPPRESSED EVIDENCE’ is a medical-legal-political thriller/exposé as told to the writer by Dr. Frank Martin, a child neurologist, his successful professional life at stake. At the turn of the Millennium, after a spotless record of more than 30 years [was he too honest, too up-front explaining tough, often unpleasant, inherited diagnoses?], a few false, piddly and out-of-context complaints brought upon him ‘misconduct charges’ (!!?) by the State. ‘Just a slap-on-the-wrist’ lawyers told him; but he fought, would not go down easy, so the ‘State Disciplinarians’ went for his blood: In 3 years he was sacked. But a consummate warrior, without help, he fought them for 7 more years in every court -all the way to the US Supreme Court — only to run every time into a cement wall, ‘his case dismissed,’ his EVIDENCE SUPPRESSED, never before an impartial forum. ‘Suppressed Evidence’ tells the saga of the fallen hero, Dr. Martin (names, places changed) loved by most, but sacked for no major fault, by a less-than-perfect, unconstitutional system of discipline, that in the US rules States-&-Country with an unjust, monolithic, unaccountable horrible bloody hand. [System that needs desperately, urgently, to be revamped: Kinder, more just, respectful of the Civil and Human Rights of those accused!!!]
