Return to Killybegs (Paperback): Sorj Chalandon Return to Killybegs (Paperback)
Sorj Chalandon; Translated by Ursula Meany Scott
R473 Discovery Miles 4 730 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Tyrone Meehan, a man vilified as an informer, ekes out his days in Donegal, waiting for his killers to come. Return to Killybegs, translated from the French, by prize-winning novelist Sorj Chalandon, tells the story of a traitor to his tribe, the Catholic community of Belfast, emerging from the white heat of a prolonged war during the 70s and 80s in Northern Ireland. This powerful work, lauded by critics, shortlisted for the Prix Goncourt and awarded the Grand Prix de Roman de l'Academie Francaise, is on a subject that touches a nerve for most Irish people: the all-too-human nature and circumstances of betrayal and survival. It is an authentic and extraordinary read.

THE CODEA NOVEL BY JAY CURTISCLASSIFICATION: Contemporary Action-Adventure Science Fiction, with as much science as fiction involved. The novel is as much an action-adventure story as it is science fiction and involves romance. It is not at all typical science fiction, but rather a projection of science, intelligence reports and rumors, and religious precepts and teachings to a logical, but yet novel, conclusion. The novel would also fit in the genre of a mild thriller.SYNOPSIS: FACTUAL BACKGROUND: The novel is based on weaving several very interesting factual premises, military intelligence rumors, historical legends, and religious precepts and teachings, all of which are pushed to a logical but extreme conclusion in developing the story.1. In 1997, Michael Drosnin, an investigative reporter, wrote The Bible Code, a nonfiction account of the work of cryptographers and other scientists who put modern computer decryption technology to the task of deciphering a purported hidden code in the Torah, which reveals everything about the future of everyone. Although it has its critics and detractors, the book and the work it details are both credible, if not indisputable, and startling, if not downright frightening. The concept of such hidden predictions was one Sir Isaac Newton spent most of his life devoted to unraveling, but he failed at what he believed was his true, God-given mission in life. Only the advent of the modern computer with its light speed calculations made it possible to

Dave Jackson, an Air Force captain and trained pilot, is left wondering what to do when he suffers a serious injury and is told he can no longer fly high-performance aircraft. But then he's visited by a military intelligence officer who tells him his career doesn't have to end.

Soon, Jackson finds himself in Kirkuk, Iraq, which is no sleepy Kurdish village but a vibrant city. There, he meets a cast of shadowy figures pushing for Kurdistan independence, and he considers who might be potential partners for the United States.

There are many factors to consider, however, especially with the surrounding governments of Iran, Turkey and Syria all having substantial Kurdish populations of their own. If a Kurdish homeland is extracted from Iraq, it could lead to a violent insurgency in other countries and contribute to added violence instead of creating stability.

It all amounts to an explosive situation in which one lone American can change the face of world politics. But Jackson may just die in the process as he seeks to create a place on the map for Kurdistan.

A crime novel of intrigue, deceit and treachery. This true story follows the twenty five year career of a Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent from rookie on the streets of New York City to senior manager of DEA=s money laundering undercover operations on three continents. His story parallels his professional life with the growth of cocaine use in the United States and the proliferation of its trade into a multi-billion international industry. Whether it be the Mafia, La Costra Nostra, the Colombian Cartels, Mexican Syndicates or the Russian Mob, Tom Clifford=s undercover shell corporations and financial storefront businesses penetrated into the inner financial world of the Drug Kingpins. By establishing undercover store fronts in different cities in the United States, Canada and Europe, the undercover operations were the largest enterprises established by the United States government to counteract the money laundering activities of organized crime.

Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and other terrorist groups have kept Jim Starr busy for many years and funded his work. Since 1965, he has tracked down and killed anyone working on alternative energy and fuel research. First it was Sam Edwards, then John Gibson, Jack Atwell, and Nancy Johnson.
Fast-forward to 2008. Chuck Springer is tired of high gas prices and pollution. He worries what the world will do when fossil fuels are gone. Using lottery winnings, he and seven others combine their expertise to create a hydrogen-powered hybrid with an ultimate fuel recovery system. After winning a Los Angeles to Washington D.C. Alternative Fuels Car race, their invention garners unprecedented media attention-and falls smack onto Jim Starr's radar.
Knowing they, too, are now targets for terrorists doesn't stop Chuck and his team from intensifying their efforts. They pen deals with the major car manufacturers, form International Applied Hydrogen, and bring more engineers and projects into the company.
As they begin to design and build hydrogen construction projects around the world, the team knows hydrogen energy is within their reach and will change the world. But in order to succeed, they must stay one step ahead of Jim Starr.
