Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pictorial history of the legendary Lockheed spy plane, written by one of its pilots and “filled to the brim with information and revelation” (Seattle Post Intelligencer Travel for Aircraft blog). At the height of the Cold War in 1964, President Johnson announced a new aircraft dedicated to strategic reconnaissance. The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane flew more than three-and-a-half times the speed of sound, so fast that no other aircraft could catch it. Above 80,000 feet, its pilots had to wear full-pressure flight suits similar to what was used aboard the space shuttle. Developed by the renowned Lockheed Skunk Works, the SR-71 was an awesome aircraft in every respect, and it took the world by storm. The SR-71 was in service with the US Air Force from 1964 to 1998, when it was withdrawn from use, superseded by satellite technology. Twelve of the thirty-two aircraft were destroyed in accidents, but none were ever lost to enemy action. Throughout its thirty-four-year career, the SR-71 was the world’s fastest and highest-flying operational manned aircraft. It set world records for altitude and speed: an absolute altitude record of 85,069 feet on July 28, 1974, and an absolute speed record of 2,193.2 miles per hour on the same day. On September 1, 1974, it set a speed and time record over a recognized course between New York and London (3,508 miles) of 1,435.587 miles per hour and an elapsed time of 1 hour, 54 minutes, 56.4 seconds. SR-71 covers every aspect of the plane’s development, manufacture, modification, and active service from the insider’s perspective of one its pilots—and is lavishly illustrated with more than 200 photos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Under Attack David Alexander tells the story of the next phase of the continuing war against international terrorist forces. As the book opens, the successors to Al Qaeda are planning a bold new series of terrorist strikes against high-priority military, civilian, government and commercial targets around the world. Under Attack is not only an unforgettable page-turner ... it is also a warning of what might happen tomorrow if America grows careless again. David Alexander -- dubbed "the best damn action writer in the business" -- has a gift for extrapolating tomorrow's history from today's events. As the book opens, the successors to Al Qaeda are planning a bold new series of terrorist strikes against high-priority military, civilian, government and commercial targets around the world. The keystone and culminating event of these phased attacks is to be Strike Day, when an attack on the United States, on U.S. military forces abroad, and on one of America's chief Middle Eastern allies, is planned to strike a hammerblow against the edifice of American global power that will send the U.S. sliding into chaos. Against a backdrop of NATO regional warfare on the Arabian littoral to attack terrorist strongholds before these devastating attacks will occur, an elite U.S. special forces detachment, brought into being by secret presidential finding, spearheads the assault on the center of enemy power. On Strike Day its commander will find himself virtually alone against the surprise attack on America that, if successful, will make both Pearl Harbor and September 11th pale by comparison. Under Attack will not only entertain ... it will inform and it will challenge. And it will be a book few will be able to put down after the first sentence has been read.

Caught at ground zero is NYPD detective Jack Keller who barely escapes with his life. His longtime friend and former partner is not as lucky. Keller vows to bring the terrorist mastermind behind the strike to justice. He tracks him down in a global manhunt. Yet unknown to Keller time is running out.

If successful the doomsday plan will unleash a nuclear nightmare on millions of victims and set the stage for worse to come.

Chain reaction is a thriller fan's dream; exciting, involving, thought-provoking. All in all, a first-class tale of intrigue by one of the top authors in the field.
