This is a book of entertainment with an underlying fondness for what laughs at" —The Japan Times "If you are one of those people who feel inundated by the proliferation of how-to-do-business-in-Japan books, here's a chance to learn the same lessons by negative example and have belly laughs all the while" —The Asian Wall Street Journal "Max Danger is wondrously funny, friendly book." —Mainichi Daily News

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE "A compelling story that pulsates with the energy of a thriller"—The Wall Street Journal "Suspense, élan and a generous helping of glamour: Think George Smiley in a mink-trimmed coat."—The New York Times Book Review The true story of socialite Marguerite Harrison, who spied for U.S. military intelligence in Russia and Germany in the fraught period between the world wars Born a privileged child of America’s Gilded Age, Marguerite Harrison rebelled against her mother’s ambitions, married the man she loved, was widowed at thirty-seven, and set off on a life of adventure. Hired as a society reporter, when America entered World War I she applied to Military Intelligence to work as a spy. She arrived in Berlin immediately after the Armistice and befriended the enemy, dining with aristocrats and dancing with socialists. Late into the night she wrote prescient reports on the growing power of the German right. Sent to Moscow, she sneaked into Russia to observe the results of the Bolshevik Revolution. Although she carried press credentials she was caught and imprisoned as an American spy. Terrified when told her only way out was to spy for the Cheka, she became a double agent, aiming to convince the Russian rulers she was working for them while striving to stay loyal to her country. In Germany and Russia, Harrison saw the future—a second war with Germany, a cold war with the Soviets—but her reports were ignored by many back home. Over a decade, Harrison’s mysterious adventures took her to Europe, Baghdad, and the Far East, as a socialite, secret agent, and documentary filmmaker. Janet Wallach captures Harrison’s daring and glamour in this stranger-than-fiction history of a woman drawn to the impossible.

Book excerpt: His world began in agony. Squealing brakes. An impact. He floated for a moment and crashed onto a hard surface. Bones splintered, and he screamed. Cramps folded him over. He pushed the pain, the fear, the dying away from him, put them behind a thick, hard wall, and became himself. Alone. The wall protected him. No man remembers his birth. The pain and confusion remained buried behind that wall for forty years. And then Max Iverson went to a movie and was torn open again. Suddenly, a murderer’s memories force their way into Max Iverson’s mind. Max is horrified and bewildered. Surely this isn’t real! But he knows that it is real. He can’t say how he knows, but he does. The violent memories he’s forced to experience have something about them that makes him sure of it. The killer is reveling in the murder he committed, playing it over and over in his mind. Max is forced to experience it over and over, as well. Max is sickened by what he sees in his mind—by what fills someone else’s mind. Max is a private person by nature, isolated from his fellow humans. Now he is forced to know what the worst of them are thinking, and his nights are filled with nightmares. He knows he can’t let it pass. He has to do whatever he can to bring to justice the killer whose thoughts he knows. Max is able to help the authorities find the killer, and he hopes that’s the last of it. But it isn’t. More and more often, he experiences the terrible thoughts of evil people. He feels sucked into their crimes, violated and made filthy by their thoughts. He is unaware of the extent to which their evil is infecting him. He continues to help the authorities capture and convict those people. He is unaware of the danger this exposes him to. There is a cabal of criminals behind much of the major crime in the city. He didn’t know of their existence, but they become aware of his, and now they are determined to eliminate him. Max must change from frightened quarry to pitiless hunter. He is aided by the skills he absorbs from the minds of the killers he kills. His hunt leads him to the cabal and also to life–changing discoveries about his own history.

Download or read book Wheels of Danger written by Sylvia A. Witmore and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oh, the Sundays when the powerful voices of "Wings Over Jordan" flooded, no, bombarded every house in the neighborhood. Perhaps sun oozed into our parlors or rain beat down the roses in each yard. Perhaps, the snow fell in white layers on the pavements, porches, yards of our houses but the melodic voices of our talented brothers and sisters encouraged us to go on and on and on. I'm sure this was what inspired Papa to go each day for long hours to barber, what inspired him to keep on keeping on. What made us all go ever forward in our every day happenings since, in these wonderful, inspirational songs, always introduced with, "Go Down Moses, Way down in Egypt Land. Tell Ole Pharaoh to let my people go!" our lives were peaceful because all was well with our souls. These great, grand spirituals gave this all-Black community a promise of hope and the expectancy of good things to come. To us, that was what it all was about.
