Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Jeffrey Ross wouldn't know a miracle if it hit him in the face. Man's belief in a God was mythical, at least that was the way he had always felt. And he knew for a fact there would be no End Times events like his aunt and his mother always pumped into his head, scaring him and his brother to death. Then one night Melissa disappeared, right in front of his eyes; and there were many witnesses that night on the Jamaican beach. That would make anyone a believer, he figured. Jeff, suddenly hit with reality and accusations that he killed Melissa, began to notice his mother's predictions were coming true, only they weren't Mom's predictions. They came right out of the Bible: It would get much warmer; there would be wars everywhere; weather would become unprecedented; people would suffer beheadings; asteroids would start crashing into Earth. and the plagues. It was all happening. Follow JL Robb as he weaves a titillating end-times tale of mystery and intrigue that Hollywood has tried but failed to produce, a story that incorporates Judaism, Christianity, Islam and atheism in what leads to the Final Conflict on the Plains of Armageddon in Israel, just as foretold by the Prophets of Old. A different take on an ancient story that will keep the reader glued to the edge of the seat, until The End. You may find yourself thinking differently about a few things.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The End: The Book: Part Four: The Disappearance When Jeff's ex-wife disappears right before his eyes on a beach in Jamaica, along with the Voodoo priest, he remembers what his mom had said so many years before. One day, Mr. Know-it-All, somebody's gonna disappear right before your eyes. Then you'll know. Yes you will. I hope it's not too late. Yessir. Jesus said, yes he did, two ladies will be in a field and one will disappear. The disappearance is odd, but the number of those disappearing is more odd. Thirty million and counting. Manhattan's recovery is slow after the nuclear blast; and there is no Wall Street, other than cinders and ash. ATMs world-wide are out of service. Existing and new disease are spread throughout the world, mosquitoes, fleas and bats at the ready. Jeff thinks because of his new found belief in God everything will be hunky-dory. Wrong. The saga continues as biblical prediction after prediction comes true in the world's newspapers, media and Hollywood. Most had not thought the story was true. Now what were they going to do? Just like all the people who thought Noah was an old fool, it started raining.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Glancing to the left, Jeff was surprised to see the small, white church sitting a hundred feet off Highway 85 in the middle of a field of bright, yellow daffodils. He had never seen so many daffodils in his life. There was nothing around except for the small church in the daffodil-laden field, a parking lot to the rear. He wasn't sure if he had ever seen a whiter church, it seemed almost to glow in a reflective yellow. The illuminated message sign by the highway is what really captured his attention.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The only thing Hollywood likes more than a good movie is a good deal. For more than fifty years producers and directors of war and action movies have been getting a great deal from America's armed forces by receiving access to billions of dollars worth of military equipment and personnel for little or no cost. Although this arrangement considerably lowers a film's budget, the cost in terms of intellectual freedom can be quite steep. In exchange for access to sophisticated military hardware and expertise, filmmakers must agree to censorship from the Pentagon. As veteran Hollywood journalist David L. Robb shows in this revealing insider's look into Hollywood's dirtiest little secret, the final product that moviegoers see at the theater is often not just what the director intends but also what the powers-that-be in the military want to project about America's armed forces. Sometimes the censor demands removal of just a few words; other times whole scenes must be scrapped or completely revised. What happens if a director refuses the requested changes? Robb quotes a Pentagon spokesman: Well I'm taking my toys and I'm going home. I'm taking my tanks and my troops and my location, and I'm going home. That can be quite a persuasive threat to a filmmaker trying to keep his movie within budget. Robb takes us behind the scenes during the making of many well-known movies. From The Right Stuff to Top Gun and even Lassie, the list of movies in which the Pentagon got its way is very long. Only when a director is determined to spend more money than necessary to make his own movie without interference, as in the case of Oliver Stone in the creation of Platoon or Francis Ford Coppola in Apocalypse Now, is a film released that presents the director's unalloyed vision. For anyone who loves movies and cares about freedom of expression, Operation Hollywood is an engrossing, shocking, and very entertaining book.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Not a cloud in the blue Atlanta sky, Jeffrey Ross made his morning visit to the Dunwoody Starbucks, expecting this day to be like any other. It wouldn't. Samarra Russell left her meeting at Emory Medical Center after receiving the strange call and wondered if it had anything to do with her immunology research at CDC. It was a secret, or was supposed to be. Going home as instructed, Samarra opened the box of Valentine candy on the kitchen counter and collapsed. Before losing her balance, Samarra recognized the small finger, severed and still wearing the tiny ring she gave him for his 7th birthday. Her precious son. She opened the note after regaining limited senses and read. If she didn't want to receive young Thomas Russell's head in a box, she would do as instructed., br. And she did.…
