Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lexi’s marital problems are the least of her worries after terrorists invade her small town. To keep her family safe, she must stick with her would-be ex-husband. But gun-wielding men have other ideas. Sent to separate modern-day concentration camps, people they’ve known their entire lives become strangers due to brainwashing. Thankfully, Lexi’s marriage gives her enough to think about to keep from being turned into a puppet for the terrorists. Late one night, the door to Lexi’s prison opens. A spy recognizes her strength and sends her to recruit others who may have eluded captivity. Outside the fence, Lexi faces the added challenge of reversing her daughter’s mindset. The young girl is conflicted and tries several times to return to the compound. After nearly being caught, they make it home to find Clint has also escaped with their son. They pack some supplies and head into the Adirondack Mountains to a cabin owned by Clint’s ex-father-in-law. The plan is simple: survive. But they soon have company. And one of them arrives in Jimmy Choos. With more mouths to feed, their work is cut out for them. When they encounter terrorists in the mountains, Clint determines the best course of action is for him to head to Canada to get reinforcements. He wants to leave most of the group behind, feeling they’ll be safer nestled where they have access to shelter and food. The fact that Lexi doesn’t trust someone inside the cabin isn’t part of the big picture. Besides, the would-be suspect hasn’t actually done anything obviously harmful to the group. Quite the opposite, in fact. But Lexi’s instincts still tell her she’s in danger. And, if she can’t convince the others, none of them will make it out of the cabin alive.
Download or read book Surrender written by Nicholas Comfort and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British industry at the start of the New Elizabethan Age was a world leader. The first - British - jet airliner was taking to the skies, the first nuclear power station was under construction at Calder Hall and British firms were pioneering the computer. Our shipyards reigned almost supreme, and from Britain's factories came cars, lorries, buses, heavy machinery, aircraft and locomotives, exported all over the world. Sixty years on, many of these industries and millions of jobs have disappeared, while competitors have flourished. Much of what remains is under foreign ownership. Britain has lost many export markets, and essential goods have to be imported. How did all this happen? Britain's loss of competitiveness has traditionally been blamed on outdated working practices, failure to invest and modernise, poor management, bloody-minded unions, the loss of Empire and the ability of post-war Germany and Japan to rebuild from scratch. All this is true, but the picture is far more complex. The role of Whitehall and successive governments, Britain's relationship with Europe, corporate greed, misjudgement and even suicide, and sheer bad luck all play a part. In Surrender, Nicholas Comfort revisits the past six decades and identifies some of the factors behind the greatest mass extinction since the dinosaurs.

Download or read book Yangtze Patrol written by Kemp Tolley and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy's patrol of the Yangtze River began in 1854 when the USS Susquehanna was sent to China to safeguard increasing American commerce in the region. As Kemp Tolley explains in this entertaining history of the patrol in which he was to later serve, the presence of gunboats along the river greatly benefited the integrity of the shoreline factories. Tolley was a young naval officer in the 1930s when assigned gunboat duty, first in the Mindanao, then in the Tutuila, and finally the Wake in August 1941. His colorful description of life as a ""river rat"" is filled with anecdotes about the resourceful and high-spirited sailors who manned the old riverboats in that distant land. In the process of telling their story he covers a century of Chinese history, replete with warlords and mandarins, bandits and kidnappers, missionaries and mercenaries, riots and revolution. He presents a knowledgeable summary of the political situation in China up to World War II, including the bombing of the Panay, the siege of Shanghai, and the Nanking incident. Far more than a routine account of naval operations on the great Yangtze, this book is an unforgettable reading experience that has attracted readers since 1971 when it was first published in hardcover.

Download or read book Project 119 written by George H. Stollwerck and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-08-29 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is October of 2006. The Avian flu continues to visit itself upon Asia. In June of this year, WHO scientists were forced to admit that an Asian family who died of the disease in Late May is proof that H5N1 has mutated, and is now capable of being transmitted human-to-human. If that wasnt enough of a threat, former NYPD First Class Detective Edward Augustus Fox, now of the Hong Kong Police who we met last year in the serial homicide case code-named Hongse Spider, returns from a terrorism seminar presented by the FBI Academy in the US, to find Hong Kong under siege. Fox, because his work in reducing Hong Kongs burgeoning homicide rate, has been promoted from Homicide Lieutenant to Chief Inspector in-charge of combating all crimes against citizens. The new threats to Hong Kong consist of unexplained incidents of fatal radiation poisoning; a North Korean nuclear missile being smuggled through the former crown colony into China; armed robberies being pulled to steal Avian flu vaccine; the worlds best counterfeit US$100 bills meant to destabilize the economy being dumped on the streets; and the emergence of a new plot by China to sabotage the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, called Project 119.

All 156 lives were lost but the wreck was never found.

Book excerpt: When you wish upon a star', 'Whistle While You Work', 'The Happiest Place on Earth' - these are lyrics indelibly linked to Disney, one of the most admired and best-known companies in the world. So when Roy Disney, chairman of Disney animation, abruptly resigned in November 2003 and declared war on chairman and chief executive Michael Eisner, he sent shock waves throughout the world. DISNEYWAR is the dramatic inside story of what drove this iconic entertainment company to civil war, told by one of America's most acclaimed journalists. Drawing on unprecedented access to both Eisner and Roy Disney, current and former Disney executives and board members, as well as hundreds of pages of never-before-seen letters and memos, James B. Stewart gets to the bottom of mysteries that have enveloped Disney for years. In riveting detail, Stewart also lays bare the creative process that lies at the heart of Disney. Even as the executive suite has been engulfed in turmoil, Disney has worked - and sometimes clashed - with a glittering array of Hollywood players, many of who tell their stories here for the first time.
