The Book Explosive Thrills-An Octogenarian Looks Back is a combination of the professional hazards and thrills the author experienced in his life and his career. Looking back over the eighty seven years of his life nostalgic memories of the long years he spent in the Department of Explosives come flooding into his mind.

His memoirs are an insight into his philosophy of karma and are a positive guide to the young and old alike on safety in life. The book is written in a simple, practical and heartfelt manner and compels one to read further.

Are You Still Feeling Human ?
Author: Farmer Freakeasy
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244332088
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
Farmer Freakeasy humorously analyses all of the different character traits of being human, and asks if we are retaining enough cultural dignity, artistic purpose, emotional empathy, or spiritual satisfaction, as we become ever more entrenched, entwined, and enmeshed within a computer world. Both expansive and insightful, this book will take you on a powerful and thought provoking trip throughout 21st century Britain. This is the final remastered edition 2023. Fine tweaked from start to finish for your ultimate enjoyment. Farmer Freakeasy says: It's actually sociology but labelled as "Entertainment" because i didn't want to call it "social science", or otherwise "smart-thinking". Both of these labels are designed to encourage people into either "authenticated scientific procedure", or "smart-technology". I certainly don't need science to think about my society. Plus i'm smart enough that i don't need to rely on technology for all of my thinking procedures. Chapter 6 will deal with technological usage in more detail.

Thrill Kill
Author: Don Bruns
Publisher: Severn House Publishers Ltd
ISBN: 1780108656
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
A New Orleans homicide detective investigates a rash of murders shaking up Mardi Gras in this mystery by the USA Today–bestselling author of Casting Bones. Three murders so far. No apparent motive; no link between the victims; none of them have been robbed. One item ties them together: a can of spray gas known as Chill has been left at the scene of each crime. Is someone killing for kicks? With no leads to pursue and no witnesses coming forward, all the cops can do is wait for murder number four. As rumors emerge, Archer realizes there’s a pattern taking shape. Could there be more to these seemingly random killings than meets the eye? Teaming up with voodoo queen Solange Cordray, Archer begins to uncover evidence of a shocking conspiracy. “Bruns brings the chaotic frenzy of Mardi Gras to life.”—Publishers Weekly “Thrill Kill explores gang turf wars, drug cartels and human trafficking as well as energy forces and the supernatural. If thrillers are your genre, this is a great one!”—Fresh Fiction
