Set to the background of the Japanese invasion of the Malay Peninsula and the Second World War, his fast-paced novel moves through Asia, Australia, USA, and Europe. War brings injury, friendship, and love, but his family secrets shatter his life and grip on reality. Lavinia Calgarron looked down at her son fast asleep in his bed. The last hundred years war had ravished not only her own family but especially the Calgarron family. Lavinia had lost her husband during the First World War, and now deep into the Second World War, the only Calgarron left lay wounded in a bed in Darwin hospital. He was the captain of a destroyer and had returned in triumph from a rescue mission on Timor but in the process had broken his leg. Lewis Calgarron lay sleeping; he was thinking of Sophie, the woman he loved. They had met under such unusual circumstances thrown together by war. She had lost everything; he had lost estates, wealth, and status because of the war with Japan. He needed to build back that fortune, and he felt under self-applied pressure to produce an heir to carry the dynasty forward. He was determined to not only win the war but to win the peace. Lavinia out! he heard. He opened his eyes and saw his mother standing near the door. Lewis thought he was dead! He smelt her first, that unmistakably scent, her musk. He slowly turned his head and looked deep into Sophies eyes. She smiled at him and whispered, Lewis Calgarron, I love you. He smiled back at her and said, I love you too. Was that my mother?

Download or read book Unstoppable written by Mark Hughes and published by Headline. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR CATEGORY AT THE 2024 SPORTS BOOK AWARDS WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF 2023: SPORT A definitive and intriguing biography of Max Verstappen, Formula 1's superstar, Lewis Hamilton's great rival and the three-time winner of the World Drivers' Championship. No Hollywood scriptwriter could possibly have envisioned the breathless, adrenaline-pumping climax to the 2021 Formula 1 season. On the very last lap of the final race of an unbelievably arduous and controversial season, Red Bull's Max Verstappen nervelessly overtook the seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes to clinch the first place that thrust the young prodigy to the narrowest of victories and to his first World Drivers' title. He followed up by taking the 2022 and 2023 titles as well. Verstappen may only be 26 years of age, but the Dutch motorsport sensation has an incredible record in F1. This young man has already left an indelible mark on the sport. The son of F1 driver Jos, Verstappen junior quickly stepped out of his father's shadow: his youthful charisma, ferocious speed, fearless driving style and refusal to back down mark him out as a true champion. And the phenomenal success of Netflix's Drive to Survive documentary series has elevated his worldwide popularity still further. Widely respected motorsport writer and F1 insider Mark Hughes is perfectly placed to write the most authoritative narrative on Verstappen's incredible rise through the ranks to F1 glory. Hughes' immaculate credentials and first-rate access enable him to generate fresh and fascinating insights, and to paint a fully-rounded and richly-textured portrait of one of the most exciting young sportsmen on the planet.

Download or read book Buzz Kill written by William Goodspeed and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lund's Plastics Division hits the skids, it turns to its newly hired Chinese research and development director, Dr. Chen, who--despite his best intentions--struggles with both the English language and American corporate policies. When he's told to hire a new scientist, Chen advertises for a young Chinese male who is preferably single. (He isn't sure what religion would be best.) Chen's innocent faux pas leads to mandatory sensitivity training, an experience so brutal, even Dick Cheney would call it torture. He builds a new R&D team, featuring Dr. Miao, a Chinese transplant who favors Red Man chewing tobacco and NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon. Chen and Miao are joined by the sultry VP of finance, B'linda Mae "Trophy" Jones, whose best parts are nicknamed Bonnie and Clyde; Monique D'Estaing, a tall, black, Harley-riding Cajun lesbian; and sales director Bob Davis, a good ol' boy who specializes in strip clubs as customer entertainment. To save the day, his team pulls out all the stops--like celebrity dress-up rollerblade scavenger hunts in Miami Beach--but their antics attract unfavorable attention from corporate human resources. Can Chen's company survive his help? Written for anyone who's ever worked in a large company, suffered through sensitivity training, or wondered if Thanksgiving is an anti-turkey display of Eurocentric imperialism, Buzz Kill is an uproariously twisted tale of America's corporate culture.
