Book excerpt: Lucinda Leung, a Chinese born American journalist has been covering the civil war in Colombia. Her marriage is in tatters, her future career prospects questionable. She is reassigned to a politically unstable Panama. And into Panama too come Mohan Krishnaswami, the man responsible for her father’s death many years before. So does Peter Morrison, a recently redundant employee of Mohan, drawn to help a relative, with a son on the run from twisted justice. While the almost bankrupt Mohan is drawn into a web of dubious business schemes, assisting a Colombian drug baroness and her hideous playboy son with designs on removing the president of Panama, Lucinda uncovers an even more dangerous plot to further destabilize the entire region. Tension builds, while we move from Bogota to London, and back in time to 1987 Hong Kong and Guangzhou: Then in a whirlwind of entwined events to Houston, Panama, Miami, North Korea, the Colombian Andes, and the Caribbean. And the prizes? For some, if they succeed, the riches that may flow from the devastation of the Panama Canal. For Lucinda, a distant vengeance for her father’s death and, perhaps, fulfillment in love.

And what would you do to escape it?For Brianna Morgan, a globetrotting journalist on vacation in Panama, she has an irrational fear of ending up in a third-world prison.

Someone wants her to take the fall.After an attempt is made on Marcio's life, Brianna is forced to go underground, hiding from the police while employing every clever trick her naval officer father taught her to out-think both the killer and the cops.

With her career and her freedom on the line, she realizes she will do anything-and use anyone-to stay out of prison. The glamorous international beach setting will make you want to book a vacation to Panama. The plot twists will make for an animated discussion at your next book club.

Book excerpt: Panama. It sounded just as much exotic as it did foreboding for Gary Taylor, Kevin Rooney, and Frank Costello, three airmen assigned to a military base in the Canal Zone during the 1970s, who soon became enraptured with its beauty, danger, and adventure; for Buck Smith, an analyst for the CIA it was a constant source of frustration and anguish as he followed the meteoric and deadly rise of Manuel Noriega. Things become complicated when the airmen cross paths with one of Smith's associates in Panama City and the lives of these individuals become intertwined in drugs, deception, and death. The airmen will be forced to face their demons, but doing so only leads to more strife. Friends will become enemies. Old hurts will resurface. The death toll will rise. No one will emerge unscathed.

Extrait: ... article on the "Commercial Possibilities of the Panama Canal," by Worthington C. Ford, chief of the Bureau of Statistics under President Cleveland, in Harper's Magazine foMay, 1898, will be able to see how strong th case is against that measure as a financial proposition. I respectfully request the privilege of your columns for a few words on this subject. If any student of financial propositions will seriously consider these five questions, he will be likely to conclude that the $250,000,000 which the United states is to spend in digging the canal, before it can receive the slightest return, will be very largely squandered. 1. From whose pockets will come the $250,000,000 which must be spent before the canal can be opened, and who shoulders all the risk of its being a financial failure? 2. What prospect of financial return from profitable financial traffic is held out by the Commission? 3. What nation's shipping and what nations' export trade will be most benefited by this new route? 4. Will the profit, whatever it be, go back into the same pockets from which the $250, 000,000 were taken? 5. What harmful effects upon the internal trade of the United States, and what serious blow at the principle of the protective tariff will the canal deal? After a careful consideration of these questions, coupled with a study of the report of the Isthmian Canal Commission, I am firmly convinced that the Panama Canal is a very risky financial measure, involving enormous waste of public money, with no adequate return. My doubts about its financial success were strengthened when one of the commission told me himself not long ago that he had grave doubts of its financial success. That doubt can easily be...

Download or read book The Dreyfus Affair written by Piers Paul Read and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent, ambitious and a rising star in the French artillery, Captain Alfred Dreyfus appeared to have everything: family, money, and the prospect of a post on the General Staff. But his rapid rise had also made him enemies - many of them aristocratic officers in the army's High Command who resented him because he was middle-class, meritocratic and a Jew. In October 1894, the torn fragments of an unsigned memo containing military secrets were retrieved by a cleaning lady from the waste paper basket of Colonel Maximilien von Schwartzkoppen of the German embassy in Paris. When French intelligence pieced the document back together to uncover proof of a spy in their midst, Captain Dreyfus, on slender evidence, was charged with selling military secrets to the Germans, found guilty of treason by unanimous verdict and sentenced to life imprisonment on the notorious Devil's Island. The fight to free the wrongfully convicted Dreyfus - over twelve long years, through many trials - is a story rife with heroes and villains, courage and cowardice, dissimulation and deceit. One of the most infamous miscarriages of justice in history, the Dreyfus affair divided France, stunned the world and unleashed violent hatreds and anti-Semitic passions which offered a foretaste of what was to play out in the long, bloody twentieth century to come. Today, amid charged debates over national and religious identity across the globe, its lessons throw into sharp relief the conflicts of the present. In the hands of historian, biographer and prize-winning novelist Piers Paul Read, this masterful epic of the struggle between a minority seeking justice and a military establishment determined to save face comes dramatically alive for a new generation.
