Book excerpt: Philip Marlow and Lew Archer would recognize a kindred spirit in Jimmy Gage, reporter for SLAP magazine, troublemaker by trade and inclination, and the hero of Robert Ferrigno’s sinuous new crime novel. While taking part in a Hollywood scavenger hunt, Jimmy meets Garret Walsh, a bad-boy movie maker in the truest sense: He’s just been released from prison after serving seven years for the murder of a teenaged girl. But Walsh claims he was framed and is writing a screenplay to prove it. He wants Jimmy to help him peddle it, sight unseen. The next time Jimmy sees the director, he’s floating face-down in a koi pond and “The Most Dangerous Screenplay in Hollywood” has disappeared. Is Walsh a casualty of bad habits or has somebody crossed him off a list? And is Jimmy next? Combining nerve-shredding suspense and heat-seeking satire, Scavenger Hunt is an addictive read.

  • ISBN : 9781973177579
  • Pages : 761 pages

Download or read book The Rendlesham File written by Andrew Pike and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 761 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rendlesham File: Britain's Roswell?The Rendlesham File: Britain's Roswell? is a scientific investigation into the possible cause of the Rendlesham Forest Incident of December 1980 involving UFO sightings in and around Rendlesham Forest between the twin airbases of RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England. It examines the likely cause of balls of light and a triangular craft that appeared in and around the area seen by the airmen of the twin bases and local civilians. Following a review of the 1974 Berwyn Mountains incident in the summer of 1980 attention was drawn to strange plasma-like balls of light seen at Rendlesham Forest during the following Christmas. What at first appeared to be a simple case of possible earthlights, meteorological and aerial plasma phenomena developed into an investigation which included microwave technology, radar, electromagnetic influences on the human body including the brain, black budget advances in mind control and exotic aviation including stealth and anti-gravity technologies. Many of the black projects examined held answers to the causes with developments in the investigation coming as a result of FBI and CIA files. There was also evidence from astronomical, geophysical and electromagnetic research going back to the late 1800s. This led to significant clues from scientific advances during World War Two with further answers also coming from the 1950s in plasma physics and astronomy, especially plasma cosmology right up to the present day. Some of these advances were also made by scientists working alone away from mainstream science as a result of the taboo nature of their research. This book gathers together these diverse areas of research to show that more than just earthlights occurred that Christmas and in doing so highlights black projects and mainstream scientific research that are significant to many other areas of ufology and other paranormal subjects. It was discovered that everything witnessed during the Rendlesham Forest Incident was seen before, either in and around the forest, or around the world before and since the event. This allowed the scientific investigation to follow the science through to possible answers. In doing so it became obvious that something had heightened and brought together many phenomena that Christmas which would otherwise be seen separately or to a much reduced intensity. Military secrecy and a general view by the Ministry of Defence that this was of no defence significance proved to be wrong and through the black projects and declassified paperwork it was shown that this view by the powers-that-be might be part of the cover. Although much of the scientific conclusions were in place by 1989 developments and further research unfolded over the following decades appearing with an eerie habit of serendipity. These added strength to the conclusions already established. To date this is the only extensive civilian investigation into the science of arguably the most famous sightings in UFO history. The Rendlesham File is the first book written about these events by a UK academic. Andrew Pike is a qualified astrophysicist and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. The Rendlesham File takes an unbiased scientific look at the UFO sightings in question and out puts all of the information under the microscope. Is there a scientific explanation for these UFO sightings or are they truly the result pf something that is yet beyond our scientific capabilities? Open The Rendlesham File and discover the answers for yourself.

Book Sinatra and Me

Download or read book Sinatra and Me written by Tony Oppedisano and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An intimate, revealing portrait of Frank Sinatra-from the man closest to the famous singer during the last decade of his life. More than a hundred books have been written about legendary crooner and actor Frank Sinatra. Every detail of his life seems to captivate: his career, his romantic relationships, his personality, his businesses, his style. But a hard-to-pin-down quality has always clung to him-a certain elusiveness that emerges again and again in retrospective depictions. Until now. From Sinatra's closest confidant and an eventual member of his management team, Tony Oppedisano, comes an extraordinarily intimate look at the singing idol. Deep into the night, for more than two thousand nights, Frank and Tony would converse-about music, family, friends, great loves, achievements and successes, failures and disappointments, the lives they'd led, the lives they wished they'd led. In these full-disclosure conversations, Sinatra spoke of his close yet complex relationship with his father, his conflicts with record companies, his carousing in Vegas, his love affairs with some of the most beautiful women of his era, his triumphs on some of the world's biggest stages, his complicated relationships with his talented children, and, most important, his dedication to his craft. Toward the end, no one was closer to the singer than Oppedisano, who kept his own rooms at the Sinatra residences for many years, often brokered difficult conversations between family members, and held the superstar entertainer's hand when he drew his last breath. Featuring never-before-seen photos and offering startlingly fresh anecdotes and new revelations that center on some of the most famous people of the past fifty years-including Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Sam Giancana, Madonna, and Bono-Sinatra and Me pulls back the curtain to reveal a man whom history has, in many ways, gotten wrong"--
