Dope, duplicity, and violence fill this gasser of a novel from a protégé of William S. Burroughs Set in the scorched cityscape of the Reagan-era Lower East Side of Manhattan, The Lotus Crew is Stewart Meyer’s harrowing yet humorous tale of loyalty and betrayal in the face of heroin addiction. Two street junkies, the introverted Alvira and the gregarious Tommy, team up to spark a street-retailing crew pushing the best heroin in town. In the abandoned buildings and back alleys of an Alphabet City that is as dangerous as the Wild West, the stamp of the Triad crew on a glassine bag of dope means it’s a smoker. The duo is wildly successful until someone counterfeits the Triad seal and triggers a reaction from Tommy that leads to violence—and to a rude awakening for Alvira.

This long-awaited memoir by a key figure in Formula 1 includes trenchant observations on the 12 World Champions with whom he worked at Team Lotus. Peter Warr was best known for his management of the Lotus Formula 1 team, where he was one of Colin Chapman's closest allies as well as the man who nurtured the early Formula 1 careers of Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell. Frank, informative and beautifully written, his memoir remained unfinished at the time of his death in 2010, but the bulk of his work was done and was published in 2012, complete with an introduction and epilogue by Simon Taylor. This long-awaited inside story, which is of particular interest for its author's thoughts on Chapman and all the drivers he worked with, is a 'must read' for any Formula 1 enthusiast.

The book corrects many of the historical myths that have appeared in earlier Lotus books, and adds many previously unknown facts. It includes, for the first time, period photographs and sketches taken from the personal albums and drawing boards of those who were there. In addition, contemporary illustrations clarify some of the more unusual and innovative techniques used to overcome the engineering problems that they faced. An extensive appendix offers complete race results and specifications (1951-54).Lotus The Early Years tells the story of what might be called the amateur years of Lotus, before Colin Chapman and Mike Costin gave uptheir day jobs and worked for Lotus full time. Colin relied on enthusiasts for motor sport who were attracted to him partly because of his charm, but mainly because he was so obviously going places and made things happen very fast. This is their story, told by as many of them who are still around 50 years later, based very much or records kept by the Allen brothers, and the daily diary kept by the author at the time.That they should have created a car that beat the world leaders in the1500cc Class seemed astonishing at the time, but subsequent historyshowed that these humble beginnings were based on an ability and drive which took Colin to the top.- The true story of Lotus and how it all began by those who were there- Details the beginnings of Lotus during the fifties- Historic photographs taken from the personal archives of the author- Original engineering drawings/sketches shown here for the first time- Extensive appendix with complete race results and specifications (1951-54)About the AuthorPeter Ross, was a de Havilland Aircraft apprentice in the 1940's,and went on to a career in British European Airways. He knew Colin Chapman from the very start, helped build the Lotus IIIb and the Lotus Mk VIII prototype, and was Team Manager for Lotus at the 1955 Dundrod TT. From 1953 he was a spare time volunteer draughtsman to Colin up to 1959, when he was posted by BEA to Belgium. He was a regular camp follower at the early Grands Prix from 1958-62, usually to be found doing the lap scoring in the Lotus pit. After retiring from the airline in 1987, he spent 11 years manufacturing some 300 of his own design of recumbent pedal tricycle, the Trice, which he still uses for shopping and leisure rides.

Team Lotus took the Indianapolis 500 race by storm between 1963 and 1969. In a race previously dominated by home-grown American cars and drivers, double Formula 1 World Champion Jim Clark scored a stunning victory in 1965, and twice finished second in his Lotus cars powered by Ford engines. Here is the definitive inside story of how – encouraged by the great Dan Gurney – the tiny British Lotus team, headed by Colin Chapman, took aim at an icon of American sporting life and rewrote motor racing history. First published in 1996 and out of print for years.

Named after Elisa, the granddaughter of Lotus's owner at the time, Romano Artioli of Bugatti fame, the Lotus Elise was launched at the Frankfurt Show in 1995. In the subsequent twenty-five years it has not only established itself as the embodiment of what Lotus stands for, it retains a unique place in the international sports car market. No other manufacturer came up with a car to seriously rival the Elise, nor the Exige, in terms of handling dexterity on both road and racetrack, and it aptly characterizes the definition of a sports car. Written in Johnny Tipler's inimitable style this book includes a detailed evolution of the Elise and Exige, including full specification tables; interviews with key individuals involved in their design and development, including Richard Rackham, Gavan Kershaw, Neil Thomas, Russell Carr, Barney Hatt and Andy Pleavin; Elisa Artioli on her namesake, its past and future; motor sport adaptions and successes and finally, driving experiences on road and track. The production of the Elise and Exige was sustained through four corporate upheavals. Now in Geely ownership, the future for Lotus looks bright.

"Unfamiliar and exciting territory-a magnificent yarn!" Greg Bear, New York Times best-selling author of Darwin's Radio, Eon, and Blood Music An accident at a German nuclear plant and a biological warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, DC, have put the United States government on full alert. The attack, together with an illegal arms deal between a trusted NATO ally and a rogue Middle Eastern state, has ignited an international crisis that threatens to draw Western Europe, the Middle East, and America into all-out war. To defuse the escalating conflict, Commander Samuel (Jim) Bowie and the crew of USS Towers must join forces with a handful of U.S. Navy destroyers and frigates to hunt down and destroy a wolfpack of state-of-the-art submarines. Their enemy is a NATO ally trained in U.S. naval warfare tactics, skilled in deception, and thoroughly lethal. Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the crews of the U.S. Navy ships must become as devious as their enemy. If they fail, the consequences are unthinkable. "TORPEDO kicks ass! Smart and involving, with an action through-line that shoots ahead like its namesake-fast and lethal. I read it in one sitting."-PAUL L. SANDBERG, Producer of The Bourne Supremacy "A timeless warrior epic. Jeff Edwards spins a stunning and irresistibly believable tale of savage modern naval combat."-JOE BUFF, Best-selling Author of Seas of Crisis, Crush Depth, and Straits of Power "Edwards wields politics and naval combat tactics with a skill equal to the acknowledged masters of military fiction."-The Military Press

The first in an epic new fantasy series, introducing an unforgettable new heroine and a stunningly original dystopian steampunk world with a flavor of feudal Japan. A DYING LAND The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have departed forever. AN IMPOSSIBLE QUEST The hunters of Shima's imperial court are charged by their Shogun to capture a thunder tiger – a legendary creature, half-eagle, half-tiger. But any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a century, and the price of failing the Shogun is death. A HIDDEN GIFT Yukiko is a child of the Fox clan, possessed of a talent that if discovered, would see her executed by the Lotus Guild. Accompanying her father on the Shogun's hunt, she finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in Shima's last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled thunder tiger for company. Even though she can hear his thoughts, even though she saved his life, all she knows for certain is he'd rather see her dead than help her. But together, the pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to challenge the might of an empire.
