Jason Statham reprises his role as the hitman Arthur 'The Mechanic'
Bishop alongside Jessica Alba and Tommy Lee Jones in this action
thriller sequel.
After retiring as a contract killer, Bishop attempts to put his murderous past behind him by starting a new life in Brazil with girlfriend Gina. However, when Gina is kidnapped by a formidable enemy, Bishop is ordered to carry out three seemingly impossible assassinations on very high profile targets if he wants to see her alive again.
Facing a race against time, Bishop must do all he can to complete his objectives before it's too late.

Billy Ramsey knew there was something very different about him from
an early age. He was destined to be the greatest football player
ever. Maybe the best athlete ever. Would this special gift be more
of a burden than a blessing? When he moved with his family to
Springtown to play football, the troubles started. Banned from
playing his eighth grade season because he was too rough, he caught
the attention of one of the best sports writers in the state. Young
Jenny McBride loved him more than life itself and stood by his side
as he went from a small town kid to the best known sports figure in
the northeastern part of the nation. The legendary "Greybull" would
re-define the game of football and burn his name onto the top of
the record books. He was "The Greybull," and there will never be
another.
Bellwood Cowboy is the life story of one of the greatest men I ever
knew. Artie Quinton is one of the last of the old time cowboys. His
knowledge of livestock and ranch management is renown in Oklahoma.
He worked for the Daube Cattle Co. for forty seven years starting
during the Great Depression era of the 1930s. Born in a log cabin
in 1912 he would lose his mother before he was a year and a half
old, then the grandmother who raised him when he was twelve. He
attended a country school through the eighth grade. Married to the
girl of his dreams, he started working for Daube Ranches in 1937
for $35 a month and that included his wife's pay for cooking three
meals a day for up to twenty cowboys. Artie advanced to foreman of
Daube Ranches and acquired a reputation as the best ranch manager
in the area. He retired in 1984 and at 98 years of age and legally
blind, lives alone in the small town of Mill Creek, Oklahoma. Artie
has preached more funerals than most preachers, and is the corner
stone of his church. Follow his most unique life in the pages of
Bellwood Cowboy.
"Son Of The Red Earth" is based on a story told to me in 1967. The
story centers around the life of young Jorney Wilson. Starting in
the early 1930s, Jorney's story is about the harsh reality of
living with an alcoholic, abusive father and his struggle to keep
skin and bones together for the both of them. Sold off to a
neighboring farmer for the sum of fifty dollars, Jorney vows not to
take another beating. He finds he has to fight back to keep that
very thing from happening. With Silas Baldwin down on the ground
and maybe dead, Jorney flees to a life of running and hiding,
always just one step ahead of the law. From working for the
Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.) to running moonshine whisky,
Jorney finds a way to get by and makes some lasting friendships
along the way. When he finds the girl of his dreams, it seems
everything is going to work out alright after all. But then Carl
Betterman of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BOCI) manages to
capture him with a truck load of moonshine whisky. When he finds
himself on trial for murder, the darkest days of his young life are
ahead of him. Jorney Wilson was truly born of the red earth, thus
the title of this book. Follow him as he tries to make a life for
himself and find justice and vindication for a crime he didn't
commit. Share his adventures as he roams the countryside and helps
make history in the young and growing state of Oklahoma. Sit with
him in the dark cells of the Atoka County Jail as he awaits his
trial for murder. Live with him as he fights to be free as a "Son
of the Red Earth."
