Prospect Hill
Fans of Jonathan Coe will love this extraordinary panoramic novel, which turns upon the whirligig of life that is Costford, a North Western town, in 1970. Costford, a brash north of England town. It's 1970 and young Trevor Morgan has a magical smile and large ambitions. But his marriage is in crisis, and he seeks help from an unexpected quarter: feisty middle-aged May Rollins. May is feeling the stress of living with the demented mother she has always hated. Strange things start happening: she spots a lollipop lady at eight o'clock on an August evening; her TV converts to colour of its own accord; and mother takes to wandering off, with murderous intent, when the minder, May's stepdaughter Cherry, is not looking. May and Trevor are political enemies, at odds over a controversial plan to build council flats at Prospect Hill, but their relationship takes a shocking - and ambiguous - twist. Meanwhile Art Whiteside, a predatory estate agent who believes in true love, complicates affairs on both town and home fronts. With dazzling ingenuity, Richard Francis catches the whirligig of urban life at the very moment when contemporary society was struggling into being. His comic and poignant novel conjures up the fumbled negotiations we make between our public and private lives, evoking the pain and pleasure of husbands, wives, and lovers, of parents and children - and depicting a personal and communal quest for the meaning of home.

In Book 3, the Romanov dynasty ends and the revolution starts to roll out from Petrograd toward Moscow and the Russian provinces. The dethroned Emperor Nikolai II makes his farewell to the Army and is kept under guard with his family. In Petrograd, the Provisional Government and the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies continue to exercise power in parallel. The war hero Lavr Kornilov is appointed military chief of Petrograd.

Many officers, including the head of the Baltic Fleet, the progressive Admiral Nepenin, are murdered. Black Sea Fleet Admiral Kolchak holds the revolution at bay; meanwhile, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, the emperor's uncle, makes his way to military headquarters, na簿vely thinking he will be allowed to take the Supreme Command.

Good Intentions
Good Intentions is about a future United States that has become the ultimate nanny state. One man, Winston Jones, is chosen by the mysterious Fairness for EveryBody Society to be the next president because he has the required makeup-ethnic, racial, religious, sexual orientation, etc.-to "fairly represent the diversity of America." The book is his reluctant adventure to discover what America is about and how to get it back to its real values. He comes across many clashing groups including "The Documented," a group of legal aliens that refuse to break the law and thus get no government entitlements. He also comes in contact with Radical Femlamism, a bizarre melding of Radical Feminism and Radical Islam. All along he's tracked by the Freedman Group, a collection of "subversives" who believe in free market capitalism and secretly run businesses without government interference.
Dead Souls
First published in 1842, "Dead Souls" is the story of Chichikov, a young middle-class gentleman who comes to a small town in Russia with a dubious plan to improve his wealth and position in life. He begins by spending beyond his means on the premise that he can impress the local officials and gain standing and connections in the community. At the heart of his plan is the idea of acquiring "dead souls" or more explicitly serfs of landowners who have died since the last census. Since the taxes of landowners are based upon the number of serfs that they employ, Chichikov believes that the landowners will be all too happy to part with these "dead souls". Legend has it that Gogol supposedly produced a third part to the novel which he destroyed shortly before his death. Despite ending in mid-sentence and with portions from the second part which seem to be missing it is generally accepted that the novel is extant. A satirical gem, Gogol's "Dead Souls" exemplifies his particular gift of exhibiting the true failings of humanity in all their absurdity. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and is translated by C. J. Hogarth.

The 3rd Floor
Tiago brings us into a clandestine world, closely, intimately, and leaves the legacy of that time and the demands it made on committed militants. If the time should ever come, anywhere, when this level of organized underground resistance is called for, then pick up these books and study how it was once done. In addition, these stories are engaging in their own ways, and Tiago introduces us to some memorable characters and scenes. These stories are presented in a certain order as if to suggest the birth, adventures and day-to-day lives of Communist militants in fascist Portugal as portrayed in different characters at discrete stages of political evolution. The presence of the Party is not felt in the last story, at least not overtly, but nevertheless it reflects the collective stance of a rural community toward a generally hated landowner, perhaps indicating how deeply anti-oligarchical ideas have embedded themselves even amongst a non-politically engaged population.
A Tale of Two Cities
A classic is not just born, it carefully sculpted at the hands of a writer who envisions it and creates it the way he has it in his thoughts. With the names like Charles Dickens that needs no introduction, the book is an absolute unputdownable with its gripping plot. Set against the backdrop of the social and political situation of England and Paris during the late 1780s and early 1790s, it is a story of human emotions of love, sacrifice, guilt, fear and even duties towards one's family the book is wonderful read. The book and the name thoroughly deserve a proud place in your bookshelf.
Silenced
A new administration sweeps into power, promising unity, promising a fair and just society. They lied. How do you control free people? You control their information and you control the message. Controlling the message makes yours the only truth. You silence dissenters, critical thinkers, and opponents of your truth. You use fear to limit their movement and make them dependent on their government by solving the problems government creates. Then you wait... wait for them to willingly trade their freedom for safety. Most importantly, you eliminate the concept that government exists at the consent of the governed. If successful, you become absolute power. Jack Stinger simply wanted to run his family business and live the American Dream. He and his wife, Lisa, worked hard to build the life they had. The government has a different plan. They attempt to drown the Stingers in bureaucracy, break their will to fight, to silence them. But they underestimated the Stinger family. Silenced takes the reader on a hypothetical dive into the allure of power and the corruption it breeds. It explores the question: What happens when our government achieves total control?

Il ne fredonnait pas les chansons de la formation id矇ologique comme les autres. Se contentait de fabriquer ses figurines - une dizaine dans la journ矇e... un peu plus peut-礙tre lorsqu'il faisait beau - puis de les ramollir le soir venu, pour obtenir la p璽te dans laquelle il fa癟onnerait celles du lendemain.

Active in their union, they battle against management, union bureaucrats, other left wing groups and the government. And both are involved in personal relationships which complicate their lives further during the winter and spring of 1983 as a general election draws near. With empathy and humour, Downturn portrays the lives of far-left activists in ongoing day-to-day struggle.

Heavy fog broke over a Pacific coast ridge line. Blackhawk gunships flew out of the approaching wall at two hundred miles per hour. Sunlight flashed off windshields. The flight of military helicopters and hard thud of rotor blades sent a threatening message across San Francisco Bay.Something was wrong. Four tech giants seized control of the Internet and silenced millions of American citizens, politicians and even the U.S. president. They pushed subversive agendas. Rigged state and national elections. And they indoctrinated children and the naive in league with mainstream media.

The helicopter dropped them off on Casanna Peak towering 8,440 feet above the village of Davos. Snow fell faster. Light, dry powder. Gray and white blurs skied quiet, invisible, across the mountainside.They skied through an avalanche. Crusted snowdrifts. Cutting winds that stripped slopes down to ice and rock. They skied 5.8 miles across the mountain and downhill 3,100 feet. The sun finally dropped behind jagged, icy peaks. They stopped.RogueOps dug bivouacs into snowdrifts under hundred foot tall spruce trees. They ate protein bars and drank several packets of orange juice. Five minutes later, six sniper assassins were asleep under two feet of snow on a pitch-black mountainside. 1430 hoursA black motorcade pulled out of the Davos Centre parking garage.

On Edge
On EdgeBy: Bill BrandAlthough fiction, On Edge references many actual occurrences and accurately portrays the current geopolitical and economic situation in Europe and explores the dilemma of how to react to Russia's expansion policy as well as the one of the USA and NATO. An ever-increasing number of NATO member states encroach on Russia's border. Russia faces US missile defense systems in Poland as well as the Czech Republic. And the West supplies military hardware to Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, and Hungary, all countries that had been once controlled by the former Soviet Union. When Russia annexed the Crimea, there was little the West could do about it, except to impose sanctions on Russia. On Edge explores the possibility of a military takeover of the Baltic States by Russia. How would the US and NATO forces react to such a move by Russia? Could the West fight a conventional war against Russia given that the US has withdrawn most of his combat units from Europe and the combat readiness of German forces is questionable? Would a nuclear confrontation be risked protecting the Baltic States? On Edge explores the possibility of solving NATO's dilemma through secret negotiations led by the Intelligence Services of both the USA and Russia. In the end, diplomacy must prevail, even if the most drastic measures must be taken.About the AuthorBill Brand was born in 1947 in a small town in the northeastern part of lower Austria, a region occupied by the Russian forces from the end of World War II until 1955.

His military awards include the Bronze Star, four Meritorious Service Medals, the Army Commendation Medal, and numerous Service medals.
