Book Description
EYE OF THE TIGER The Bengal set sail from a teeming Singapore harbor, but its precious cargo comes from the heart of the war-torn Middle East. The freighter is traveling under the flag of Cameroon, headed for an unknown destination. Deep in its hull the ship carries one of the deadliest devices ever invented, which silently waits for the perfect moment to detonate. EYE OF THE STORM The intelligence forces of the world discover that a red bomb-an anti-personnel, mercury-based nuclear device-is on board the missing freighter. But one man, a veteran of the international killing game, is prying loose the information-tracking clues in the twisting alleys of Cairo and across the blood-stained streets of Northern Ireland-that will expose the conspirators. Meanwhile a former Special Forces officer is on board the hellbound vessel itself. Now, analysts and soldiers, spies and strategists scramble in Washington, the Middle East and even Castro's crumbling Cuba in a frantic search to find the Bengal. But only the terrorists themselves know where they are going to strike-and how their weapon will launch the next war.

RANDY AND ROUGH, HE'S A MEAN MOUNTAIN MAN WITH A NOSE FOR TROUBLE AND HANKERIN’ FOR HOT BEAVER! Holed up at a trappers' camp when the winter snow hits, Jack Pike and his ornery trail pard Skins McConnell found good shelter for their hides, and enough cheap whiskey and willin' women to keep them busy until the thaw. But when spring came, Pike pulled together a band of mountain men to run their fur down the Missouri for the fleshpots and trading posts in the city of St. Joe. His long gun primed and cocked, Pike had more hot action than most men could handle. By day, he had the perils of a raging river and bloody troubles with renegade Crow indians at each bend. By night, there were the sure, swift strokes of his dark-haired trail beauty who kept his course straight and his strength up. Then, just shy of port, Cal Devers and his lowdown gang ambushed them. Pumping big-bore bullets fast and furious, the big mountain man brought the deadly fight to a powerful climax of outlaw blood!

The Clinton Tapes
Author: Taylor Branch
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1849832005
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 607
Book Description
The Clinton Tapeswas a secret project, initiated by Clinton, to preserve for future historians an unfiltered record of presidential experience. During his eight years in office, Clinton met with Taylor Branch in the White House, usually late at night, to answer questions and tell stories. Branch recorded seventy-nine of their dialogues to compile a trove of raw information about a presidency as it happened. Branch then recorded his own detailed recollections immediately after each session, covering not only the subjects discussed but also the look and feel of each evening with the president. Their discussions were unpredictable, intense, and candid. At any given moment the president could leap from memories to a current crisis or problems with his daughter's homework. The resultant text captures Clinton from many angles. Branch's firsthand narrative is confessional, unsparing, and personal. What should an objective prompter say when the President of the United States seeks advice, argues facts, or lodges complaints against the press? The relationship that emerges from these interviews is dynamic, both affectionate and charged, with flashes of anger and humor. President Clinton drives the history, but this story is also about two friends.

Pages : 119
Book Description
The Czar's Last Soldier is the story of the search for the Star of Golconda a 42.5-carat diamond slightly smaller than the Hope diamond. Before he was killed, a marine buried the diamond in his foxhole on the island of Corregidor during World War II. Thirty-two years later, at a Nebraska post office, Sam Gibbons and Roscoe Barnes are removing the old post office boxes and replacing them with new ones. Both men are World War II veterans who teamed up as general contractors after the war. When the old post office boxes are removed a letter hidden between warped boards falls to the floor. The letter, dated 1942, is from the marine who died on Corregidor and gives the particulars of a jewel theft he committed at the Shanghai Officer's Club in 1941. As there are no members of the marine's family still alive, they read the letter. Shortly after the theft, the marine's regiment was transferred from China to the Philippines. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, the regiment was tasked to defend Corregidor. When the order to surrender was given, not wanting the Japanese to gloom onto the stolen jewels, the marine buried them. Sam and Roscoe hunt for the jewels but are unaware they were stolen from a czarist officer and are thrust into the middle of an international legal battle.
