For Peter 'Mad Max' Maxwell, the only mystery that has arisen so far this year at Leighford High is the question of how to use a computer.

Then Max starts to receive messages too, and two of the girls go missing. When a body is found it seems that the prank has taken a sinister turn. And Mad Max may well be the next target. With his job under threat from the ambitious IT technician, Nicole, and the formidable Pansy Donaldson, as well as facing increasing pressure from his wife to retire, will Max manage to crack the case?

Time Shot

Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525531441
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
What if time was no longer safe? What if one shot could wipe out “today” as we know it or alter a future yet to come? This threat becomes a reality with the creation of a new weapon in a secret military research base known as Ghost Mountain. There, scientists have developed a system that can create wormholes large enough to deliver a bullet through time. The American military believes this weapon is enough to tip the scales of world domination in favour of the United States. That is, until a top Russian spy infiltrates the supposedly impenetrable Ghost Mountain base, steals the weapon, and sets in motion a disaster of catastrophic proportions. Colonel Joseph Perez, a Ghost Mountain operative who has been trained on the weapon, is all that stands in the way of it reaching Russia. Recognizing the immensity of what could happen with this weapon in the wrong hands, he is prepared to risk everything – including his life in both the present and the past – to reclaim it. What follows is a teeth-gnashing, fast-paced, cat-and-mouse-game with the Russian spy that tests Colonel Perez to his limits and makes for a page-turning read that will appeal to fans of science fiction, spy novels, and thrillers alike.

The Newsmongers
Author: Terry Kirby
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1789149819
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
Vivid and racy, a deep-dive into tabloids from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the National Inquirer and beyond. The Newsmongers unfolds the seedy history of tabloid journalism, from the first printed “Strange Newes” sheets of the sixteenth century to the sensationalism of today’s digital age. The narrative weaves from Regency gossip writers through New York’s “yellow journalism” battles to the “sex and sleaze” Sun of the 1970s; and from the Brexit-backing populism of the Daily Mail to the celebrity-obsessed Mail Online of the 2000s. Colorful figures such as Daniel Defoe, Lord Northcliffe, Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, Hugh Cudlipp, Rupert Murdoch, and Robert Maxwell are brought to vivid life. From scandalous confessions to the Leveson Inquiry into the behavior of the British press, the book explores journalists’ unscrupulous methods, taking in phone hacking, privacy breaches, and bribery. And now, in the digital era, The Newsmongers shows how popular journalism has succumbed to so-called churnalism while a certain royal is seeking revenge on the tabloids today.
