This story tells of his search for his childhood hero, a search that took him from Canada, through the USA, the UK and finally Germany. This book is full of Johns adventures in flying and his associated entrepreneurial activities in Europe, the USA and the Caribbean.

He was astute enough however to leave the island before the US invasion began. From Miami, where he spent a further two years, he handled a number of aircraft franchises, which took him to most of the islands in the Caribbean chain, and the book ends with his departure from New York the morning before the Twin Towers attack Now fasten your seat belts for an eventful and stimulating read!

Book Description
Transcon’s flight three seven departed from Los Angeles bound for JFK airport in New York. Sometime after they reached their cruising altitude, the first officer noticed the pressure dropping in the cargo hold below. Neither the captain nor the first officer was aware that a partially filled propane tank had been loaded into the cargo hold and was about to explode. “Mayday, mayday Transcon flight three seven. Rapid decompression, explosion onboard. Descending to one-zero thousand. Clear all traffic below!” These words echoed into the headset of the flight controllers at Lincoln Center and a desperate feeling came over them as they watched flight three seven descend on their radar screen.

Book Description
The adventure of Starship Colonial continues in this second book of The Storyteller series. The Colonials explore new worlds searching for a new Earth, influencing and benefiting from every civilization that they encounter. Some remain behind to inhabit them, making for a wider, modern-style colonization. The most visible trace of the book is the interaction with very powerful beings, those who decide the fate of the Universe. A stronger plot of the story relates to peoples behavior, being aliens or not, the specific way in which they react in various circumstances, always learning from their experience. The Captain, Cathleen, takes her share of the action; she fails and succeeds throughout her adventures the way normal people do, and she learns to tame her emotions and instincts, to become more pragmatic, to cope with tougher, more demanding situations. She applies everything to her life, both on Starship Colonial and on Earth, and her achievements exceed her wildest expectations. However, her achievements are irrelevant if she does not fulfill the mission assigned to her by the people of Earth. Is her determination strong enough to fulfill it now, when she has everything she ever wanted? Jack remains an interesting, puzzling character throughout the book, influencing unknowingly the life of many, accomplishing everything with the innocence of a child. More characters emerge and develop from among the crew and colonists, and from the people of the worlds they encounter. Throughout the book, and throughout this whole series, there is a hidden, consistent trace of liberation from ignorant stereotypes, cold prejudices, predetermined norms, and irrelevant ideals. As opposed to real life where the great majority of people live the way it is taught, some of the characters succeed in opening their eyes, grasping this way and understanding a wider truth. And yet at times bondage defeats freedom and they have to accept it helplessly, which makes for the credible, real, complex plot of the book. Enjoy!

Book Description
“A gem . . . Alkon explains why so many people are rude and how it’s possible to be courteous, even if you’re foul-mouthed and clueless about etiquette.” —Dr. Adam Grant, Wharton School professor and New York Times–bestselling author To lead us out of the miasma of modern mannerlessness, science-based and bitingly funny syndicated advice columnist Amy Alkon rips the doily off the manners genre and gives us a new set of rules for our twenty-first century lives. With wit, style, and a dash of snark, Alkon explains that we now live in societies too big for our brains, lacking the constraints on bad behavior that we had in the small bands we evolved in. Alkon shows us how we can reimpose those constraints, how we can avoid being one of the rude, and how to stand up to those who are. Foregoing prissy advice on which utensil to use, Alkon answers the twenty-first century’s most burning questions about manners, including: Why do many people, especially those under forty, now find spontaneous phone calls rude? What can you tape to your mailbox to stop dog walkers from letting their pooch violate your lawn? How do you shut up the guy in the pharmacy line with his cellphone on speaker? What small gift to your new neighbors might make them think twice about playing Metallica at 3 a.m.? Combining science with more than a touch of humor, Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck is destined to give good old Emily a shove off the etiquette shelf (if that’s not too rude to say). “Miss Manners with fangs.” —LA Weekly

Book Description
Inside the King, through the glittering streams of his blood, there were three miracles sleeping together, and they were very small, and they each had a little face, and little arms, and little hands, and little legs, and little feet, and as they breathed slowly in, and out, they each made a beating sound, and these three little things, pleasantly dreaming away, were none other than the King’s Hearts. In a miraculous world of angels and gods, a young woman from London becomes a hero as she helps the angels in an ancient war between good and evil that has been ongoing since the dawn of time.

Book Description
This new, updated edition of The Battle of Britain on Screen examines in depth the origins, development and reception of the major dramatic screen representations of 'The Few' in the Battle of Britain produced over the past 75 years. Paul MacKenzie explores both continuity and change in the presentation of a wartime event that acquired and retains near-mythical dimensions in popular consciousness and has been represented many times in feature films and television dramas. Alongside relevant technical developments, the book also examines the social, cultural, and political changes occurring in the second half of the 20th century and first decade of current century that helped shape how the battle came to be framed dramatically. This edition contains a new chapter looking at the portrayal of the Battle of Britain at the time of its 70th anniversary. Through its perceptive demonstration of how our memory of the battle has been constantly reshaped through film and television, The Battle of Britain on Screen provides students of the Second World War, 20th-century Britain and film history with a thorough and complex understanding of an iconic historical event.

Book Description
A truly good look into the religion of Christian Satanism and The Christian Satanist’s place within it. Christian Satanism is a worldly gray sided religion worked into the middle area of life, its thoughts, things, and substance. It gives its followers both a soul and a spirit, and a love for earth and our lives within it. After all, the world exists between heaven and hell. It prefers philanthropy and morality over being “sinister” or “diabolical” in some sort of weird way. On the other hand it doesn’t strive to judge or condemn through Christianity. This book is for anyone who may find the gray side a more attractive thing.
