Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has heard of the SAS and are probably aware that all major countries have their own highly trained Special Forces. Normally working in opposition to each other, these units have a common bond that transcends all national boundaries. That bond is born of the PRIDE the members have in their skills and the RESPECT they feel for each other. While remaining fiercely loyal to their own country, they have established an 'unofficial fraternity' that gives international cooperation whereby they help each other when in need. It is this cooperation that Ben Carson - ex SAS, calls on when he sets out on a trail of revenge following the drug related killing of his god daughter. Ex-Special Forces members across Europe and in the Americas team up with him to form a small group of 'specialist' volunteers. With their help, he lays his plans to wreak a bloody revenge and the destruction of the Colombian Cartel responsible for the import of drugs to the UK. Dodging cartel hit men, he crosses Europe and reaches North America where he comes under the eagle eye of the CIA. Finally moving into Panama and Colombia, the action moves swiftly onwards, with helicopters and ground forces working together to achieve that aim. Written by a security specialist, it is autobiographical in that it concerns the skills, weapons and contacts of the security trade.
Download or read book Alma Rubens Silent Snowbird written by Alma Rubens and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dark-eyed and distant Alma Rubens was one of the first female stars of the early feature film industry in the 1910s. She was a major star by 1920, but before the decade was over her screen career was marked and marred by cocaine abuse. She died in 1931 at age 33--a Hollywood beauty, a casualty of Hollywood "snow," yet much more. As an actress she was versatile, demonstrating a talent that was ahead of its time with her gentle and subtle expressions. This book contains Rubens's autobiography, a text titled This Bright World Again that was serialized in newspapers in 1931. Ghost-written or not or somewhere in between, this long forgotten document deals with Rubens's addiction and despair. In addition, a new biography of Rubens takes the reader from her birth in San Francisco through an impoverished upbringing, three short-lived marriages, and her career in pictures for Triangle Film, Cosmopolitan, Fox and other production companies. The story of her film career mingles with a tale of desperate drug addiction that led to hospital stays, violence and deception. A filmography lists her credits from 1913 to 1929.
