Book excerpt: What good comes from a war? As far as Robie was concerned the answer was – profit. It is Fall 1942 and the war rages on in Europe and on the North Atlantic. In the early years he had to deal with local criminals trying to profit from the sudden influx of men and materials destine for overseas and German agents. The issue of spies has fallen away as have most of the local players involved in thefts of war goods and materials. However, that is about to change. It begins with a rash of hijackings outside the city. Robie is brought in to help his friend Inspector Phil Maloney, a RCMP officer on detached service to Naval Intelligence. Together they uncover a major French crime organization is working with a Montreal gang who are behind the thefts. The deeper they dig the more they begin to realize this could be their most perilous case yet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The war was over, leaving behind in its wake a stain on the city that would last for generations to come: the Halifax Riots. It had to happen, Robie mused, as he read the paper; part of his daily ritual. Little did he know that the last three days were nothing compared to what was ahead. Two crooked brothers, the Melansons, in positions of authority and trust, were found out with their hands in the ‘till’ as they conspired to rob the government through fraudulent contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. That and, the call from Phil Mulroney asking for his help...once again. This time it was in locating and apprehending another Russian spy. The last one was the year before and that one almost cost his friend and partner’s life. Before these cases were over, he would realize two important things: he no longer had the stomach to deal with men like the Melanson brothers and, his world had changed to the point that there no longer any room for him in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robbie F. Woods, entrepreneur, is a wheeler and dealer in the world of real estate and business. A darned nice guy, he does his best to overcome obstacles Fate seems to haphazardly hurl his way. Sitting in jail too often and being accused of a murder come to mind. Golfing adventures, misadventures, and former high school escapades somehow occasionally block his path, although he manages to circumvent them in one way or another. A bachelor by preference, he winds up with a family of cats and groundhogs but still longs for the stability of marriage and children. With the considerable help of his sister, Jessica, an attorney, his brother-in-law, Ken, a dentist, and his father figure, Chris, Robbie manages more often than not to successfully tackle the ineffable striving that plagues some of his dreams. He does so with aplomb, a good heart, and a round or two of golf on a summer night. That and an occasional visit to a covered bridge in Wyandot County.

Download or read book Twenty-first-century Fiction written by Peter Boxall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The widespread use of electronic communication at the dawn of the twenty-first century has created a global context for our interactions, transforming the ways we relate to the world and to one another. This critical introduction reads the fiction of the past decade as a response to our contemporary predicament - one that draws on new cultural and technological developments to challenge established notions of democracy, humanity, and national and global sovereignty. Peter Boxall traces formal and thematic similarities in the novels of contemporary writers including Don DeLillo, Margaret Atwood, J. M. Coetzee, Marilynne Robinson, Cormac McCarthy, W. G. Sebald and Philip Roth, as well as David Mitchell, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dave Eggers, Ali Smith, Amy Waldman and Roberto Bolaño. In doing so, Boxall maps new territory for scholars, students and interested readers of today's literature by exploring how these authors narrate shared cultural life in the new century"-- Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: Sins of the Father is the story of three families drawn together by the common bond of childhood abuse and crisis. It is their struggle to save their children and also through their pain, help other families prevent this devastating plague of sexual predation. Sitting in a "Teens in Crisis" support group for parents with children involved in crisis behaviors; recent stories from parents have all been the same: Children as young as 10 years of age abusing drugs, alcohol, involved in aberrant sexual practices, and participating in criminal behavior that is beyond imagination. For each of us, over the years, mentoring families has become our passion: Helping parents understand the gravity of their children's behavior and how perilous their children's actions can be. Providing resources that facilitate their children receiving help, and of course, helping the parents understand the inevitable question - 'How could this happen to us?' The room is filled with parents, each with their own memory of their children's choice to give up on life; each feeling the pain and confusion of these new parents. One member of the group steps forward and shares how his father had been sexually abused when he was only ten. His father had not been able to receive counseling or help resulting in a lifetime of broken relationships, pain, and confusion. He relates how his father chose to leave his family for fear of abusing his own son. Another parent shares having been molested by a babysitter, and yet another shared being raped by an older predator. Following these stories, each member of the group shared their experiences about what is needed to live a successful life: A life without fear, shame, or regret. This is their story. This is our story. Read with an open heart.

Book excerpt: Presidential Agent 103 is targeted by allies and enemies alike as the Nazis roll across Europe in this novel in the Pulitzer Prize–winning series. Europe, 1940. As war rages across the continent, America watches anxiously from the sidelines. And President Franklin Roosevelt has been keeping an even closer eye on developments in the Third Reich. At the president’s personal request, Lanny Budd gained the confidence of the Nazi high command and began transmitting valuable information back to the White House. Espionage is a dangerous game, however, and Presidential Agent 103 soon finds himself a target of the French Resistance fighters he is attempting to assist. On a trip to London, Lanny avoids death during a Luftwaffe bombing raid and takes part in the capture of Rudolf Hess. He gets stranded in Asia and is forced to make his way across war-torn China after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor finally brings the United States into the global melee. But Lanny’s most important mission still lies before him: He must enter the lion’s den alone and unprotected once more to unearth the Nazi Party’s most deeply buried secret—the progress of Hitler’s scientists in the race to build the atom bomb. A World to Win is the electrifying seventh chapter of the Pulitzer Prize–winning series that brings the first half of the twentieth century to vivid life. An astonishing mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of Upton Sinclair’s vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.
Book Synopsis The Lanny Budd Novels Volume Two by : Upton Sinclair
Download or read book The Lanny Budd Novels Volume Two written by Upton Sinclair and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 1954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books four through six in the Pulitzer Prize–winning series of historical novels about an international spy in the first half of the twentieth century. An ambitious and entertaining mix of history, adventure, and romance, Upton Sinclair’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Lanny Budd novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of the author’s vision and his singular talents as a storyteller. “Few works of fiction are more fun to read; fewer still make history half as clear, or as human” (Time). In these three novels, as the threat of Nazism grows in the 1930s, Lanny progresses from international art dealer to international spy. Wide Is the Gate: When his arms dealer father strikes a business agreement with Hermann Göring, Lanny uses the opportunity and his art world reputation to move easily among the Nazi high command and gather valuable information he can transmit back to those who are dedicated to the destruction of Nazism and Fascism. He’s playing a dangerous—albeit necessary—game, which will carry him from Germany to Spain on a life-and-death mission on the eve of the Spanish Civil War. The Presidential Agent: In 1937, Lanny’s boss from the Paris Peace Conference—now one of Roosevelt’s top advisors—connects him to the president. Appointed Presidential Agent 103, he embarks on a secret assignment that takes him back into the Third Reich as the Allied powers prepare to cede Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler in a futile attempt to avoid war. But Lanny’s motivations are not just political: The woman he loves has fallen into the brutal hands of the Gestapo, and Lanny will risk everything to save her. Dragon Harvest: Lanny has earned the trust of Adolf Hitler and his inner circle, who are convinced the American art dealer is a “true believer” committed to their Fascist cause. But when Roosevelt’s secret agent learns of the Führer’s plans for conquest, his dire warnings to Neville Chamberlain and other reluctant European leaders fall on deaf ears. The bitter seeds sown decades earlier with the Treaty of Versailles are now bearing fruit, and there will be no stopping the Nazi war machine as it rolls relentlessly on toward Paris.
