Download or read book Powder Burn written by Daniel Glick and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October, 1998 an arson caused $12 million in damage at Vail, the country's largest ski area. A shadowy radical environmental group called the Earth Liberation Front claimed credit for what the FBI called the costliest act of ecoterrorism in U.S. history. But as it turns out, credible suspects were everywhere, since Vail was owned by a New York investment firm that had alienated a wide swath of Colorado's high country residents."Who couldn't have done this?" wondered a local sheriff's investigator. More than a clever whodunit, Powder Burn scrapes away the glitz of America's premier ski destination to reveal a cautionary tale about runaway opulance and rapid change in the New West. As the Denver Post put it, "Vail is a microcosm of the disputes over growth raging across the Rockies, and Glick's take on the fire helps to fan the flames." Packed with odd characters and paranoia, with beautiful mountains and despicable actions, Powder Burn is about corporate greed, the environment, a small town and a mysterious unsolved crime. As Vail celebrates its fortieth anniversary with a full season of hoopla and self-promotion, this book makes compelling reading for skiers, true crime enthusiasts, or anyone interested in the environmental, social, and political issues raised by the evolution of the new West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mack Hammeker made a name for himself as a young man rounding up rustlers and outlaws down in Texas. When he mistakenly killed the wrong man in Abilene, he lost his taste for gunplay and some say his nerve. He decided to go back to Missouri, settle down and farm for a living. When he loses his wife tragically almost twenty years later, he is left with four kids, a failing farm and seemingly no way to get his life back together. That all changes when an action packed week suddenly gives him the opportunity to move west with his kids and start afresh. His family comes together in their adventure to build a new life, befriending the local townspeople and Indians alike in the process. Hammeker might even be ready to find a new love interest. But just when things seem to be headed the right direction, an ornery outlaw by the name of Jack Slade threatens to take away all that Mack has worked to regain. An entertaining mix of history and imagination, Mack Hammeker: Colorado Bound is the tale of a fictional family’s migration westward in the 1860s along the Overland Trail to where Fort Collins stands today. The story is interlaced with real historic places, events and fictionalized versions of real characters from northern Colorado such as Jack Slade, Auntie Stone, Ben Holladay and Antoine Janis.

Interpol, monitoring worldwide radio traffic, uncovers an assassination plot to assassinate the Queen, being orchestrated by a radical faction of the Irish Republican Army. The hit squad is Lebanese Hezbollah. The Prime Minister suspects someone close to the throne is calling the shots and turns to his friend, the Secretary of State, for advice. A secret meeting to develop a defensive strategy and flush out the mastermind is set up in a secluded cabin in Montana between two highly placed advisors to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State, but the location is compromised, and Alec Caldwell, former CIA agent, is tasked with protecting the two men. The plot moves from the mountains of Montana to North Africa and on to Europe. As the story unfolds, the action moves to Scotland with Alec heading the effort to foil the plot and save the Queen’s life. But, is the assassination plot for real, or only a clever ruse contrived to throw Alec and British security off guard while the mastermind sets another more sinister plot in motion, one which will have more far-reaching political consequences? Set in today’s environment where everyday acts of terrorism dominate the news, The Irish Conspiracy explores an all-too-familiar world forced into a constant state of mistrust and fear.
