Flight time from London to Sydney: ninety minutes. Sabre 005, a synergetic, air-breathing rocket engine, that will revolutionise air travel as the world knows it. Paul Santos, a French engineer, developed the aircraft. A jet in the atmosphere and a rocket in space, Sabre 005 is set for its first ever commercial test flight - and its fare-paying passengers are already scheduled for one year's time. Joe Yavanoski, a union boss forced to retire, knows the threat Sabre 005 poses. Its success will spell the death of his country's former great aircraft industry and the loss of hundred of thousand of jobs, including that of top engineer Jean Lesseps. Together, Yavanoski and Lesseps hatch a plan to shatter the public's confidence forever - the perfect undetectable bomb that will wipe out Sabre 005, its passengers and its crew, once and for all. All they have to do is get on board . . .

Book Description
With the outbreak of Gulf War hostilities a unit from 22 SAS slipped quietly over the border and into the enemy's backyard. It would be six weeks before any of the patrol again reached safety. Sabre Squadron recounts in graphic detail their scud-busting operations deep inside Iraq. They were operating alone and out of reach of reinforcements, with the threat of detection and its fatal consequences ever present. Yet their determination to wreak havoc behind enemy lines remained undimmed, culminating in an attack that decisively reconfirmed the regiment's awesome reputation. Cameron Spence, a senior NCO on the operation, takes you as close to the fighting SAS as you are ever likely to get, conveying the relentless tension, black humour and camaraderie punctuated by explosive, nerve-shredding action that characterized the mission. This is the true story of an SAS operation of breathtaking audacity and flair, carried out under unimaginable pressure, in the face of impossible odds. _____________ 'A brilliantly authentic account of war with an SAS patrol, it's a fantastic read' - ANDY MCNAB, bestselling author of Bravo Two Zero 'Tense and at times terrifying... a well told action story' - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'A terrific read' - THE TIMES 'Blood, guts and military macho - as authentic as anything you are likely to read' - MAIL ON SUNDAY

Book Description
This book teaches the NEW saber! It has been more than 75 years since an English-language book devoted to saber last appeared. Those were the days of men-only, visually judged saber, and the US didn't stand a chance. Since then, saber has been revolutionized. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics: the U.S. women swept the individual saber medals and took bronze as a team; the U.S. men took team silver. The fencing was not just electronically scored the referees watched the slow-motion video replay to decide close calls. The world of saber has changed, and it needs this book! Modern Saber Fencing is the first book to explain and teach the new saber from the ground up. It illustrates the new techniques with over 75 photo illustrations. It shows the technical and tactical adjustments that transformed classical saber. It explains how to train for the new saber. PLUS it presents the scientific research that underlies the latest training methods.

Book Description
This is a heavily-illustrated, step-by-step guide for how to fence -- and how to teach! -- Hungarian sabre fencing, as well as how to use the "fokos," or long-handled axe traditional to Hungary and East-Central Europe. It covers everything from basic stance work and tactics to complete synoptic tables and how to troubleshoot students who are having difficulty with the material. The manual also provides translated comparative material in order to demonstrate how the lineage the author learned is -- and is not -- like other methods of fencing taught in Hungary and at the Wiener-Neustadt cadet school in the mid-to-late 19th century up through World War One.

Book Description
Where did Italo-Hungarian sabre fencing come from? It's not JUST Barbasetti...The Hungarians dominated Olympic sabre fencing for the majority of the 20th century. It is well-known that Radaelli's northern-Italian lineage became dominant in Austro-Hungarian fencing, under the immensely skilled tutelage of Barbasetti (and later, the Santellis). But little has been said about the Hungarian fencing-masters themselves and how they adapted the Radaellian sabre lineage to fit their own ideas. For the first time, the sabre fencing manual of Károly Leszák, primary sabre instructor at the prestigious Ludovica Military Academy, is made available in English. A must-read for historical fencers wishing to understand the evolution of Italo-Hungarian fencing, and for modern Olympic fencers curious where their methods come from.
