Book excerpt: Major Sam Call, now retired from the Army, has joined LNMB Investigations owned by his friend David Lytle. David was instrumental in helping Sam uncover the identity of an escaped German POW, solve a war crime that had remained hidden for 45 years, and also bring home a soldier missing since 1945. IdentityPoint, a public records company, is a major player in the relatively new world of computerized public records; providing the government and private companies with reports on an individual's data; data which revealed everything from the person's birth to their death, and everything in between. One corporate officer believes others in IdentityPoint have been illegally benefiting from a string of acquisitions and hires LNMB to go undercover to seek the financial data to prove her suspicions. Along with David's long-time associate Bob, a small, unassuming but extremely resourceful man, Sam is immersed in a mesmerizing world of data and computers and quickly discovers the immense power the company and the data have over the lives of typical citizens. While using the company's powerful reporting tools, Sam unknowingly alerts the F.B.I., and Sam once again finds himself the target of those who would wish to silence anything Sam has to say, as well as silencing Sam-permanently. Set in Georgia, British Virgin Islands, and Washington D.C., Very Public Data, explores the world of public records, secret organizations, world of personal identity systems and those that build them and those who abuse them. Very Public Data unveils both the positive and negative power of public data, and while this is a tale of corruption, murder, and deception, it is also a celebration of the love of a man and a woman, the unbreakable bond of soldiers, and the undying strength that honor brings to the human spirit.

You won't believe me when I tell you that I, Nikki Lawry, a mere-mortal dog walker, was hired onto a Jessica Tate movie set as the animal wrangler—to one tiny Yorkie! A big shout out to my best friend Kim for getting me the gig. The job isn't as advertised, of course. Why is it never that easy? Turns out Jessica is kind of a wing-nut, and there's a hired detective here at the mansion to investigate any on-set crime—and he has his own stage name! Hollywood, huh? When a real-life murder comes to light and is quickly covered up, what started out as a lucky break turns dangerous. Since I've already spent the money Jessica paid me, and Kim and I are stuck here, I have no choice but to poke around on the sly. I may not have a stage name, but I know enough to follow the clues, amateur detective-style.

Download or read book written by Donald Schmidt and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paradigm of Creation Spirituality offers a fresh approach to our spiritual journeys. In "Emerging Word," Donald Schmidt provides both an introduction to Creation Spirituality for those who may not be familiar with it, as well as a quick history of lectionary use in the Christian tradition and an overview of the church year. He then sets out scripture readings for each Sunday and major festival day of the year, based on the four paths of Creation Spirituality as outlined by Matthew Fox and others. Brief commentary for each set of readings provides rationale for the choice, and further invitation to see the world, the church, the Bible, and life in a new way. Whether you are familiar with Creation Spirituality, or simply curious about some of the emerging paradigms being explored in the church today, "Emerging Word" will challenge you. Less than a statement, "Emerging Word" is more an invitation to wonder, to contemplate, and to explore the story that the church has told, is telling, and can tell, as it seeks to be relevant in today's world. What is our faith story? Where is it taking us? Where can it take us? Those are the questions "Emerging Word" places before us.

They live in a down-trodden apartment house, which they share with other working class tenants. Her husband is in a State mental hospital and most likely there for good. Her deadbeat younger brother and a lodger from across the hall pay board to eat in her crowded little flat. As Christmas approaches, there is no money for gifts and no prospect of her husband returning home. As her burden becomes intolerable, Sally's sturdy courage begins to falter. To make matters worse, the sleazy, suspicious owner of the local night club - Nick Toresca - takes a fancy to Sally and won't leave her alone. As he is the brother of her boss at the greasy spoon, she is in no position to call the shots. Things are shaken up when Sally's sister - the swaggering, glamorous, independent Petey Braun - appears on the scene. All loud laugh, deep voice, self-confident aplomb and worldly generosity, Petey grabs the spotlight and centre of the stage and never lets them go. She is an American career woman - one who makes a career of men: she is a master of her trade. To give Sally a break, Petey sets about to dazzle Nick so that he has no eyes for Sally. Nothing is straightforward when Petey gets involved, however, so what follows is a swift-paced tale of tension, excitement and sibling rivalry as the very different worlds of Sally and Petey collide . . .

Download or read book Spacehounds of I P C written by Edward E. Smith and published by Jovian Press. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good many of us, who are now certain beyond a doubt that space travel will forever remain in the realm of the impossible, probably would, if a rocket that were shot to the moon, for instance, did arrive, and perhaps return to give proof of its safe arrival on our satellite, accept the phenomenon in a perfectly blasé, twentieth century manner. Dr. Smith, that phenomenal writer of classic scientific fiction, seems to have become so thoroughly convinced of the advent of interplanetary travel that it is difficult for the reader to feel, after finishing "Spacehounds of IPC," that travel in the great spaces is not already an established fact. Dr. Smith, as a professional chemist, is kept fairly busy. As a writer, he is satisfied with nothing less than perfection. For that reason, a masterpiece from his pen has become almost an annual event. We know you will like "Spacehounds" even better than the "Skylark" series.
