Book Description
The words spun around my aching brain in an endless loop as I marched through the dense heat of the urban brush. Youre too nice a guy Jackson. That may have been true before this morning. But as of 9:17 AM this morning, the moment Fat Heads nightstick rocked my dome, I started to transform into something elsesomething primal, something strong, and in many ways, something long overdue. A sleeping giant of buried rage had been awoken. I thought about Tarmok and the rage of the Bull Mongoni. The barbarian within me had taken over, this time for good. I began too feel pity for anyone who dared stand in my way as I began my dark journey of escape. I am Wes Jackson. I am ignorant in the Hollywood Barbell Club sense of the word. Wes Jackson Lives.

Book Description
A gripping account of how the automobile has failed NYC and how mass transit and a revitalized streetscape are vital to its post-pandemic recovery In 1969, as all students of New York City history think they have learned, master builder Robert Moses lost his long battle to urbanist Jane Jacobs over his planned Lower Manhattan Expressway. The ten-lane elevated expressway would have sliced across SoHo and Little Italy, demolishing historic buildings, and displacing thousands of families and businesses. Jacobs and her neighbors defeated Moses, and as a result, New York became the only major American city with no interstate highway running through its core. Like many global cities, though, New York had spent fifty years during the first half of the twentieth century trying and failing to tame its heavily populated landscape to fit the private automobile. New York has now spent more than fifty years trying to undo those mistakes, wresting back city space for people, not cars. Movement: New York’s Long War to Take Back Its Streets from the Car chronicles the earlier, less-known battles that preceded the cancellation of the Lower Manhattan Expressway: Jacobs became an example for generations of urban planners, but whose example did Jacobs emulate in an earlier victory that saved Washington Square Park? Moses may serve handily as New York’s uber-villain now, but who, before him, was responsible for destroying a critical part of New York’s transit system? A well respected urban writer who has focused on New York’s transportation system for more than a decade, author Nicole Gelinas resumes the story where Robert Caro’s landmark The Power Broker ended. Movement explores how, in the half-century leading up to the COVID- 19 pandemic, New York’s re-embracement of its mass-transit system and a livable streetscape helped save the city. Gelinas tackles the 1970s environmental movement, the 1980s rebuilding of the subways, and more contemporary battles, from Mayor Bloomberg's push for more pedestrian plazas and bike lanes in the early 2000s, to transportation advocates' protests to prevent traffic deaths in the Mayor de Blasio era of the 2010s, to how New York’s stewardship of its streets and subways have played a critical role during the 2020 pandemic and subsequent recovery. Introducing a cast of transportation heroes to rival Jane Jacobs (Shirley Hayes, Hazel Henderson, Richard Ravitch, Nilka Martell) and puncturing the myth of Moses as New York’s anti-hero, Movement explores how New York City has helped redefine what it means to be a global city: not a place that is easy to drive through, but a place where people can take transit, walk, and bike to work, to school, or just for fun.

Chock-full of action with a dash of drama, The Mazatlan Showdown has it all! 2023 Killer Nashville Claymore Award finalist, best action adventure 2023 Adventure Writers Competition semi-finalist WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: “Its action and psychology are simply superb, driving a story that proves riveting, thought-provoking, and hard to put down or predict.” - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review “Packed with double crosses, gruesome violence that makes you cringe expecting the worst to happen to the good guys, and hardcore vendetta-fueled carnage, it easily envelops you into the world of heartbreak and action.” - Kashif Hussain, Best Thriller Books “I liked Walker, the main character. He’s believable and makes decisions like a normal person, not like some can’t lose terminator. The scenes are lush and I loved the mix of action and emotion…it flows well, with great pacing. Weill’s built hooks into the story, so it’s easy to read chapter after chapter. Another thing I liked is the research that clearly went into the book. I hate it when writers get into the weeds on stuff they learned, but I also like to learn a little something while I’m reading. This book strikes the right balance there. Looking forward to book 2!” - Nick Stevens, #1 bestselling Amazon author of the Mason Ashford Thriller Series “An action-packed thriller that keeps you guessing right up to the end. Plan your time, because once you start it you won't want to put it down.” - Jeff Kerr, award-winning thriller author
