Book The Brad Austin Boxed Set

Download or read book The Brad Austin Boxed Set written by Joe Weber and published by Ignition Books®. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 847 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, New York Times best-selling author Joe Weber's two Brad Austin novels are together in one volume. Rules of Engagement "Exciting and controversial. A powerful novel of the rules of war--and a man who broke them."--W.E.B. Griffin Marine pilot Brad Austin and his carrier-based F-4 Phantom group fly into the heart of enemy territory daily without fear, but the rules of engagement hinder them nearly as much as the North Vietnamese. Restricted from attacking the enemy's MiG bases, Austin and the other American pilots are vulnerable to attack without the ability to retaliate, a weakness that tragically leads to the death of Austin's wingman. Consumed by the need to avenge his comrade, Austin goes one-on-one with the enemy in a battle that ultimately proves in war there can be no rules. Joe Weber takes us high into the flack-filled skies above Hanoi and shows us the air war as only a veteran fighter pilot can. Targets of Opportunity "A first-rate air-combat adventure by a master of the genre."--Publishers Weekly The Vietnam War is at its height, and the US has acquired a Soviet-built MiG-17. Marine aviator Brad Austin has been recruited to test-pilot it. The MiG is an aerial hotrod, crude yet lethally effective. But it's not what Austin is flying, it's where'behind enemy lines, disguised as a Russian pilot. If he succeeds in penetrating the enemy air space, he will find easy prey. But if he fails, he will be disavowed. With edge-of-your-seat tension and gripping realism, Targets of Opportunity is thriller writing at its best! "Some writers get better with age: Weber is among them. This novel will have great appeal for technothriller and military-fiction buffs, especially for those who love aviation."--Library Journal

Book Empire s End  Aftermath  Star Wars

Download or read book Empire s End Aftermath Star Wars written by Chuck Wendig and published by Random House Worlds. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING. As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku. The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion’s victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal—and one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia’s urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane’s assassination plot, and now she wants vengeance as much as justice. Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire’s devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire’s war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine’s final plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided. Praise for Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath “Star Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983’s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, there’s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.”—The Hollywood Reporter “The Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.”—Alternative Nation “The Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.”—Den of Geek! Aftermath: Life Debt “Compulsively readable, the kind of caramel-corn book you just keep stuffing in your face until it’s gone.”—Tordotcom “Man oh man, this is good stuff. [Life Debt] reveals what Han and Chewie were up to after Return of the Jedi.”—io9 “Gripping reading . . . [This novel] hits the ground running.”—New York Daily News

Book Labour and the left in the 1980s

Download or read book Labour and the left in the 1980s written by Jonathan Davis and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays constitutes the first history of Labour and left-wing politics in the decade when Margaret Thatcher reshaped modern Britain. Leading scholars explore aspects of left-wing culture, activities and ideas at a time when social democracy was in crisis. There are articles about political leadership, economic alternatives, gay rights, the miners’ strike, the Militant Tendency and the politics of race. The book also situates the crisis of the left in international terms as the socialist world began to collapse. Tony Blair's New Labour disavowed the 1980s left, associating it with failure, but this volume argues for a more complex approach. Many of the causes it championed are now mainstream, suggesting that the time has come to reassess 1980s progressive politics, despite its undeniable electoral failures. With this in mind, the contributors offer ground-breaking research and penetrating arguments about the strange death of Labour Britain.

Book Tiger Check

    Book Details:
  • Author : Steven A. Fino
  • Publisher : JHU Press
  • Release : 2017-11-01
  • ISBN : 1421423286
  • Pages : 449 pages

Download or read book Tiger Check written by Steven A. Fino and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did American fighter pilots respond to the challenges posed by increasing automation? Spurred by their commanders during the Korean War to be “tigers,” aggressive and tenacious American fighter pilots charged headlong into packs of fireball-spewing enemy MiGs, relying on their keen eyesight, piloting finesse, and steady trigger fingers to achieve victory. But by the 1980s, American fighter pilots vanquished their foes by focusing on a four-inch-square cockpit display, manipulating electromagnetic waves, and launching rocket-propelled guided missiles from miles away. In this new era of automated, long-range air combat, can fighter pilots still be considered tigers? Aimed at scholars of technology and airpower aficionados alike, Steven A. Fino’s Tiger Check offers a detailed study of air-to-air combat focusing on three of the US Air Force’s most famed aircraft: the F-86E Sabre, the F-4C Phantom II, and the F-15A Eagle. Fino argues that increasing fire control automation altered what fighter pilots actually did during air-to-air combat. Drawing on an array of sources, as well as his own decade of experience as an F-15C fighter pilot, Fino unpacks not just the technological black box of fighter fire control equipment, but also fighter pilots’ attitudes toward their profession and their evolving aircraft. He describes how pilots grappled with the new technologies, acutely aware that the very systems that promised to simplify their jobs while increasing their lethality in the air also threatened to rob them of the quintessential—albeit mythic—fighter pilot experience. Finally, Fino explains that these new systems often required new, unique skills that took time for the pilots to identify and then develop. Eschewing the typical “great machine” or “great pilot” perspectives that dominate aviation historiography, Tiger Check provides a richer perspective on humans and machines working and evolving together in the air. The book illuminates the complex interactions between human and machine that accompany advancing automation in the workplace.

Book excerpt: The Japanese new-fangled regime publicized itself as a self-sufficient, self-sustaining entity, freed from Big Brother USA and the United Nations sphere of influence, asserting itself as an anti-Big Brother USA and aligning its military might with North Korea, China, Taiwan, and Russia. As a more severe, brutal blow to Big Brother USA and the United Nations Armed Forces, Taiwan discharged the Western and the European military and civilian personnel from its soil, ending all interrelations. Communist China led its new military allies of Japan, North Korea, Russia, and Taiwan in attempt to demoralize Big Brother USA and the UN military forces. The Second Korean Wars sonata forced its resonance into us with the proverbial reverberations of fighter jet air assaults, howitzer artillery rounds, helicopter gunships, rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns, military weaponries of all sizes and types . . . boom, thump-swish, ka-boom, bang-bang-bang, pa-pa, pa-pa!

Book excerpt: This WWII history reveals the untold story of a British special forces unit parachuted into Occupied France to disrupt the German response to D-Day. On June 6th, 1944, members of Britain’s elite Special Air Service were dropped by parachute deep in Nazi-occupied France. Shortly followed by others, the unit totaled fifty-five men. Their task was to disrupt in every way possible the movement of German troops to the north as they tried to repel the Allied invasion of Normandy. Only now, with the release of classified documents, can the full story of Operation Bulbasket be told. Speaking with many of the surviving participants, historian Paul McCue has pieced together what really happened in those dramatic eight weeks after D-Day. Indeed, the survivors themselves have only learned the full story of their operation after it was hidden from them for decades.
