When the Russians play hardball, Lydia realizes she must literally put her life on the line to save everything they have built for themselves. *** "When I told my friend Mark I was thinking of writing a novel he suggested a few plot lines. I went with one of them and set it Sydney, Australia, where he lives. This gave me the excuse to visit him and to research the locations. The heroine, Lydia, is a composite of several intelligent, beautiful, single-minded women I have known.Venture is a fast paced and often humorous romance story set against the background of industrial espionage."

Aces, Warriors and Wingmen: The Firsthand Accounts of Canada’s Fighter Pilots in the Second World War $1.99 ACES, WARRIORS & WINGMENFIRSTHAND ACCOUNTS OF CANADA’S FIGHTER PILOTS IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR.Almost a decade ago, Wayne Ralph, the author of a bestselling biography of William Barker, a Canadian air ace from the First World War, embarked on a new venture. He began to travel across Canada and the United States, Searching out Canadian fighter pilots, fighter-bomber pilots, and many others-inducing night fighter and naval carrier pilots-and air crew who had served in the Second World war. The results of this unique and remarkable journey are encompassed in accounts from more than a hundred interviews that in riveting detail tell of the trials, victories and losses that characterize combat in the air.From the author’s interviews with the pilots, and information contained in their logbooks, diaries and letters home, the reader will be escorted into the world of combat, from training in Canada and England, to engaging the enemy over Malta, northern Africa, Europe and Southeast Asia. For airmen, living conditions were often harsh, sleep a luxury and emotions on a roller-coaster. the sudden loss of  friend-even a brother-had to be taken in stride and the job at hand done.Survival depended on a pilot’s skill and the condition and characteristics of the aircraft. Hurricanes, Spitfires, Mosquitoes, beaufighters, and Typhoons carried their bullets, bombs and human cargo through horrendous weather conditions and withering enemy fire. There were bonds between man and machine much as there were between the pilots, who were on constant lookout for one another.As the ranks of veterans become thinner, their firsthand accounts take on even more significance. Aces, warriors & Wingmen is a tribute to a legacy of sacrifice, courage and gallantry, a true picture of combat, and a piece of Canadian history to be treasured. |

Eternity’s End $4.99 In the century since the devastating War of a Thousand Suns, humanity has stagnated, staying in the cocoon of the Centrist Worlds while the rapacious pirates of Golen Space prey on ships that venture too far into the interstellar Flux. And starship Impris, lost in the war years, has become the stuff of legend–used by the pirates as bait, even as the Centrist authorities deny her existence. Renwald Legroeder, escaped prisoner and star rigger pilot, has seen what the government doesn’t want anyone to see. Framed for treason, he flees–to save himself, and vows to clear his name. He returns to the realm of the pirates to find the truth behind Impris . . . to unmask the conspiracy that cost him his freedom . . . to tear off the blinders that have kept humanity from fulfilling its destiny among the stars.Between Legroeder and redemption lie the pirates’ vengeance, if he is caught–and the perils of the Deep Flux, where no man has dared to fly. But with the help of a beautiful pirate renegade named Tracy-Ace/Alfa, he risks everything to uncover the secrets that can clear his name–and change the future of humanity forever. |

Vanity Fire $16.11 When the phone rings in the middle of the night, publisher Guy Mallon learns his book warehouse has burned to the ground. Rushing to the scene, he and arson inspector Rosa Macdonald see a total loss. And a burned body. Guy Mallon Books faces bankruptcy and the probable dissolution of its partnership—Carol Murphy, Guy’s lover and business manager, fed up, had already split. But why is her car spotted parked nearby? Guy begins the story lunching with retired businessman Fritz Marburger. Like the devil himself, Marburger tempts Guy with a proposition: to publish celebrity jazz singer Sweet Lorraine Evans’ novel, which he will underwrite. It’s the first step in a Faustian bargain that finds Guy getting a whiff of the sweet smell of success, followed by the increasingly noxious fumes as the crass Marburger becomes Lorraine’s agent, rents Guy’s warehouse space, and saddles him with an amoral co-tenant: Roger Herndon pornographer turned vanity publisher. All Roger needs is ace computerist Gracie Worth to help set up his operation.Supported by two Santa Barbara poets with strong backs and by the sometimes puzzling actions of Gracie and her friend/lover Kitty Katztwo strippers forming the core of Roger’s stable of porn stars and production assistants—Guy first tries to make a go of the new venture and then, post murder, to bring Roger down and reclaim his own soul, not to mention Carol.  |

Yuzuru Ito $45.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yuzuru Ito was the founder of Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) and Ito University. United Technologies Corporation (UTC) established Ito University as the tangible means to build a network of lean, leadership philosophies to improve UTC’s internal and external supply systems. The 64-year-old Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. (MC ) retiree named Yuzuru Ito to move to a Hartford suburb to work on improving the productivity of UTC’s businesses. George David first encountered Ito in 1989, after he was brought in by the unit’s Japanese joint venture partner, Matsushita Industrial, to try and figure out why Otis’ fancy new Elevonic 401 elevators were such clunkers. Their callback rates — the number of times per year a building owner has to call mechanics for service — were as high as 40 per unit a year, vs. an average of 0.5 for rival Mitsubishi Electric. When Otis dispatched a team of U.S. engineers to get the machines working, their Japanese partners hauled them into the boardroom to analyze the cause of the problem — even as some elevators were shut down and literally burning. |
