Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Indian Point is a deeply disturbing, action-packed thriller about a desperate struggle, a holy war, and the most formidable terrorist movement to confront the civilized world in a thousand years¿a movement that glorifies death and grows stronger with each bloody event. The martyr straps on the explosive-laden vest and goes to a better life, beyond the reach of his enemies. He is untouchable.When Marco Frost has an ice pick shoved into his throat, his brother, Nicholas, a hard case with a checkered past, throws in with an old Jew and goes after the killer. The trail leads both men to the French Riviera where ten people are slaughtered in the middle of a nice lunch at the Carlton Hotel in Cannes. Nicholas quickly finds himself knee deep in a hair-raising scheme to destroy a nuclear plant in the United States. All hell breaks loose as he stirs the pot and becomes a target of opportunity for people out to stop him from stopping them. This masterfully choreographed story, which leaves little to the imagination, soars through seven countries and across two continents: from the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan to a secret Russian ordnance base near the Mongolian border, to Prickly Pear Hill Road, a fork in the road on the outskirts of Chimney Corners, in Upstate New York. It cuts through La Turbie, where three hippies are executed on a mountain overlooking Monaco; through Genoa, Milan, London, New Jersey, and Florida; and ends in Westchester, under the containment dome of the number three reactor at the Indian Point Nuclear Plant. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The memory of my wife faded. The past ceased to exist. Against my better judgment, I went online, hoping to fill the void in my life. I met eleven women, twelve if we include Sandra, the schoolgirl. That was a mistake, of course, but I couldn't help myself. She was exquisite, mature beyond her years, and completely and utterly without scruples. The extent to which she would go to exercise the outrageous fantasies buzzing around inside her small brain, an attribute that (at the time) I found irresistible, was astonishing. I shall make no excuse for my lapse in judgment, except to tell you that the interlude during which we were in flagrante lasted barely a moment in time. But, as Nabokov suggested, while it lasted the candle burned ever so brightly.Of all the women I met in chat rooms and on threads, however, while there were the usual fringe benefits, most were less than expected, less than advertised, and well below the standard I had set for myself. Nonetheless, while it lasted, it was fun. The great restaurant had become the dues ex machine and the focal point of my adventures. I spared no expense. The women I courted stuffed themselves with the best food money could buy and repaid my hospitality on credit, and a good time was had by all. But it wasn't enough. And then I met Donatella, and everything changed.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Daffodil is a tale in the tradition of For Whom the Bell Tolls and Rains of Ranchipur. It is a story of courage and gallantry in a time of extreme peril. It is the story of two expatriates, Stavros Papadopoulos, an old timer from Ano Voutena, a remote village in Messinia in the Peloponnese of Southern Greece, and his unlikely sidekick, Danny, a young man of indeterminate youth and very excellent abilities, an all-American rascal from a rich family in Palm Beach, Florida. Now, in the aftermath of a natural disaster in Southeast Asia, a journey of four days in the lives of these two extraordinary characters, through the best and worst of times, occurs against a backdrop of intrigue and high adventure in exotic lands seen by few men and women from the Western world. The characters in the novel represent the best and worst in society, and what happens, good and bad, is the stuff of legends.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Artist: 'A blistering satire about the publishing industry.' Max has spent the last seven years trying to get his book published, but he can't publish the book because he can't find an agent to represent him. His luck changes when he meets a beautiful girl who works for a famous literary agent. They fall hopelessly in love, and all goes well-until he meets the agent and pitches his book. Before he can finish the first sentence, the agent turns thumbs down and tells him to get a day job, and then he (the agent) has a heart attack. Max performs CPR and saves the great man's life. Overwhelmed with gratitude, the agent decides to reinvent max's book (which he hates), and turn it into a best seller (which he does), and Max becomes rich and famous-and a victim of the law of unintended consequences as his world spins hopelessly out of control.…
