Paul is a man whose fondness for life on the edge turns his midlife crisis into a nuclear meltdown. Happy to leave his life behind in America, Paul boards a freighter bound for Panama with a backpack and a few thousand dollars, ready to conquer a new wilderness. With a boat, balls, and his newfound brothers, Paul-now calling himself Puma-leads a small but tight-knit group on a meteoric rise as a new criminal empire. With nothing left to lose, Puma operates with fearless abandon, further cementing his relationship as a member of Panamanian organized crime. While running guns and cocaine from the United States to Colombia and back to Panama, Puma transforms into a modern-day smuggler who soon becomes a blip on the CIA's radar screen. But Puma's path is about to take a new direction when, propelled by his desire to make a friend's dream come true, he steps in to make the biggest deal of his life. In this gripping thriller, a smuggler who gives himself freely to the winds of destiny's path and through God's mysterious ways finds his larger purpose-a seeker of justice for the defenseless, the forgotten, and the unavenged.

In the old days, Patagonia was a mining and ranching town. The hills were dotted with mines—the Trench, Flux, World's Fair, and many, many more. Copper and silver and gold ore came down--in trucks and on burros--from mining towns such as Harshaw to the railroad in downtown Patagonia. In those days also, cowboys drove their herds into town to the pens along the railroad to wait for the cattle cars. And at night, in the local bars, miners swapped stories about ore cars that left the tracks, veins of gold ore that had not been mined yet, and miners who were maimed or who died in accidents. Joker Mendoza was there. He walked from his home across from the cattle pens eight miles uphill to the Flux, and he walked home at night with his miner's lamp lighting up the path. Today, Joker still sits in the Wagon Wheel bar from time to time, and, if you ask, will retell the stories of those days, now long gone. Pull up a stool and listen. Let Joker take you back to the mines. See if you can smell the gas and taste the dust!

About the Book When the Moon Is Red continues the story from The Kovalenko Secret with greater urgency through the personal lives of the main characters, as domestic and international agents discover evidence of the evilest terrorist attack upon the United States. Duke Chancellor, head of the Chancellor Organization, a private 'information enterprise' in the United States, assembles the unconnected and puzzling pieces of evidence from his agents around the world to understand the terrorist website that threatens: "THE AMERICAN INFIDELS WILL DIE IN (30) DAYS WHEN THE MOON IS RED!” The website counts down the number of days until the terrorist threat becomes a reality, and the future of the United States and, by inference, the world hangs in unimaginable limbo. About the Author Philip L. Rettew, after a twenty-five-year career as a technical market analyst working in southern Manhattan, is now retired and living in South Burlington, Vermont. He enjoys playing bridge, photography, cycling, road trips, and improvising music on his baby grand Steinway piano. Rettew is a 1967 graduate of Yale College, where he majored in philosophy and psychology and earned a master's degree from Temple University in psychology after a four-year tour in the United States Army Security Agency.

Winner - Authors' Club Best First Novel Award 2016 Shortlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards 2015 Selected for Brave New Reads 2016 With echoes of Raymond Carver as well as Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff and Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road, The Last Pilot re-ignites the thrill and excitement of the space race through the story of one man's courage in the face of unthinkable loss.

Among the exalted few is Jim Harrison: dedicated to his wife, Grace, and their baby daughter. By the 1960s, the space race is underway and Harrison and his colleagues are offered a place in history as the world s first astronauts. But when his young family is thrown into crisis, Jim is faced with a decision that will affect the course of the rest of his life whether to accept his ticket to the moon and at what cost.

Ten years had passed since the wife of Sheriff Wes Kincaid had been murdered by a vengeful, former prisoner. Some villagers of Riverton, Georgia couldn't fathom whey the handsome, wealthy lawman hadn't remarried--especially with that girl of his running wild...No one knew of the personal demons that plagued the man. Now, facing his third term in office, Wes at last had a formidable opponent, an old enemy, determined to bring him down. Wes wasn't dependent upon county income for survival. He had inherited a cotton plantation sprawled over some eight miles along the river, but a gentleman planter he was not. The peace of this land of magnolias was shattered by South American drug lords who began rushing plane-loads of contraband into a remote, private landing strip. Wes' discovery of this found him begging county commissioners for more men and equipment. They laughed in disbelief. Drugs in their hallowed land? Impossible! Enter the beautiful red-haired Rachel-no stranger to grief herself-to head the local newspaper. She and Wes were immediately attracted to each other and began a passionate love affair. Together, they battled the foes that threatened to destroy them and Wes' birthright.

The award-winning journalist delves “into the confluence of modern airplane technology and pilot behavior to probe how and why flight disasters happen” (BookTrib). Aviation automation has been pushed to its limits, with pilots increasingly relying on it. Autopilot, autothrottle, autoland, flight management systems, air data systems, inertial guidance systems. All these systems are only as good as their inputs which, incredibly, can go rogue. Even the automation itself is subject to unpredictable failure. And what of the pilots? They began flight training with their hands on the throttle and yoke, and feet on the rudder pedals. Then they reached the pinnacle of their careers—airline pilot—and suddenly they were going hours without touching the controls other than for a few minutes on takeoff and landing. Are their skills eroding? Is their training sufficient to meet the demands of today’s planes? The Dangers of Automation in Airliners delves deeply into these questions. You’ll be in the cockpits of the two doomed Boeing 737 MAXs, the Airbus A330 lost over the South Atlantic, and the Bombardier Q400 that stalled over Buffalo. You’ll discover exactly why a Boeing 777 smacked into a seawall, missing the runway on a beautiful summer morning. And you’ll watch pilots battling—sometimes winning and sometimes not—against automation run amok. This book also investigates the human factors at work. You’ll learn why pilots might overlook warnings or ignore cockpit alarms. You’ll observe automation failing to alert aircrews of what they crucially need to know while fighting to save their planes and their passengers. The future of safe air travel depends on automation. This book tells its story.

Foreword Reviews Starred Review The world is a complicated place with lots of small moving parts. When someone moves one part just a little, it causes all the other parts to move in ways we can’t see coming. Two men. One young, one old. Complete strangers who have made the same ultimate decision—that their lives are not worth living and it is time to take fate into their own hands. When their stories intersect on a single fateful night in West Texas, the ensuing friendship takes them down a perilous road neither imagined possible. As they contend with the police, horse thieves, and murderers, the two men forge an unbreakable bond, and together they discover that they each might have something to live for after all. Full of cowboy common sense that spans generations, SMALL MOVING PARTS explores the simplicities and complexities of love in its many forms and how a rare and remarkable friendship can change everything. Nothing much grew in Bufort, Texas, but a few things did.

Youve heard the slogan WV Almost Heaven. Possum Crossing is a story about what the narrator refers to as a real heaven here on earth. It is populated by mountaineers who are hardworking and patriotic citizens of Possum. Like the state as a whole, Possum has seen growth from the frontier to boom times, and having experienced whiplash from boom to bust, it is now on the cusp of a new boom. Despite adversity and abandonment by politicians, Possums, as residents of the town call themselves, do not give up on the mountain state and are poised to bring prosperity and new glory to her. The story of these proud people is a story shared by millions in this time of changes occurring with the speed of light. Possums do not abandon West Virginia for greener grass elsewhere, but they remain to bring about a rebirth of better times.
