Includes List of Other Books by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard; Author Dedication; Prologue; Postscript; Sources; Illustration Credits; index and About the Authors. Illustrated with black and white photographs and maps. "In the latest installment of the mega-bestselling Killing series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard confront Nazi evil in a riveting account of the courageous efforts to capture fugitive members of the SS after World War II. As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through shadowy but sophisticated Nazi orgainizations designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death," who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler's brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon:; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader. The final chapter is truly shocking." - from the inner front jacket flap.

On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, is almost bouncing up Boylston Street in Boston. He's just landed a comic book deal that might finally enable him to support his family by making art instead of teaching it. He's already picked up a small (but expensive!) gift for his long suffering wife, and he knows just what he'll get for his boy Johnny. Why not a little treat for himself? Clay's feeling good about the future. That changes in a hurry. The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature.and then begins to evolve. There's really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points home to Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north they begin to see crude signs confirming their direction: KASHWAK=NO-FO. A promise, perhaps. Or a threat. There are one hundred and ninety-three million cell phones in the United States alone. Who doesn't have one? Stephen King's utterly gripping, gory, and fascinating novel doesn't just ask the question "Can you hear me now?" It answers it with a vengeance." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xvii, [3], 263, [5] pages. Blue dot on fep. Introduction by Spider Robinson. Afterword by Robert James, Ph.D. This is Heinlein's long-lost first novel, written in 1939 and never before published, introducing ideas and themes that would shape his career and define the genre that is synonymous with his name. After crashing his car in 1939, Naval Airman Perry Nelson awakens to find the radically different world of 2086, one marked by a United Europe, the destruction of Manhattan island by two helicopters in 2003, and other changes in the economy, legal system, and the relationships between men and women. Robert Anson Heinlein (July 7, 1907 - May 8, 1988) was an American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often posed provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science-fiction genre, and on modern culture more generally. For Us, the Living: A Comedy of Customs is a science fiction novel by American writer Robert A. Heinlein. It was published for the first time in 2003. Heinlein admirer and science fiction author Spider Robinson titled his introductory essay "RAH DNA", as he believes this first, unpublished novel formed the DNA of Heinlein's later works. The novel's manuscript was lost until biographer Robert James traced down references to it. His research led to its rediscovery in a box left in a garage. Heinlein had apparently sent it to an earlier biographer, Leon Stover. Perry Nelson, a normal 1939 engineer and Navy pilot, is driving his automobile when he has a blowout, skids over a cliff, and wakes up in the year 2086. Though he was apparently killed in the summer, he re-appears in extremely cold snow, nearly dies again by freezing, and is saved by a fur-clad woman named Diana. The exact circumstances of his being killed and reborn after a century and a half are never explained. The later 21st century people seem strangely incurious, showing little interest in how he had come to be among them and rather take his appearance for granted and proceed to explain to him the details of the social and political set-up of their world. The book is akin more to a lecture series than a novel. A number of people have remarked on its resemblance to H. G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come where the sleeper wakes into pseudo-utopia. The character Diana's background is clarified in a multiple-page footnote from the author. The future society has a version of a Social Credit structure with a central government-run bank exclusively controlling the monetary supply to prevent overproduction and remaining private banks prohibited from lending money they do not actually have on hand and which had been explicitly designated for investment risk. The book does not tell precisely how the protagonist came to wake up a century and a half after being killed in a car accident, and find himself wandering in the snow in the body of a denizen of the future who had had enough of life and chose to commit suicide. It is mentioned that his last sight before crashing down and getting killed was a girl in a green bathing suit who had the same face as the Diana which he meets in the future; it turns out that her name had been Diana, too, and that to her fell the disagreeable task of finding Perry's broken body and reporting the accident. There is the clear implication that the later Diana was an avatar or reincarnation of the earlier one, but this is not stated explicitly. As noted by reviewer Nancy Green, this aspect of the book gives the impression of a draft which Heinlein intended to further work on, but never did. May be Science Fiction Book Club edition, unknown printing. Mark Stutzman (Jacket illustration) (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. From a Buick 8 by Stephen King (2002 1st Edition Trade Hardcover in Dust Jacket) From a Buick 8 is a horror novel by American writer Stephen King. Published on September 24, 2002, this is the second novel by King to be centered around a car (the first one being Christine which, like this novel, is set in Western Pennsylvania). It is a novel about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable. Appearing for only one week at Number 1 of the New York Times bestseller list, the book received a mixed reception. It has not yet been made into a movie. Hardcover has gray paper boards with navy cloth spine, silver lettering on spine, in an as new complete dust jacket (coded 0902.) Interior is Fine/(As New) complete, tight, clean and unmarked.

Verkäufer/-in kontaktierenVerkäufer/-in mit 5 SternenHardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. New condition white boards with red spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Preliminary Page Quote; and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Signed and inscribed by the author, Cofounder of The Home Depot Ken Langone, with black pen on the blank first free front endpaper. "A joyful, authentic, and entertaining must-read by a patriot and hero who defines what it means to give back. I loved this great American story, and so will everyone who wants to understand true business success." - Jack Welch. "Insightful and inspirational. Ken reminds us of a very important lesson - that capitalism does work. An authentic, up-by-the-bootstraps story by a shining example of the American dream." - Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO, JP Morgan Chase. "An honest, interesting, and spectacular journey that confirms that anything is possible in America. Ken's book inspires all those continuing to search for success." - Larry Bissidy, former CEO and chair, Honeywell. "This book is my love song to capitalism. Capitalism works! And I'm living proof -- it works for everybody. Absolutely anybody is entitled to dream big, and absolutely everybody should dream big." - Ken Langone. "Ken Langone started as a hardworking teenager who dug ditches and collected used cardboard; now he's a billionaire and business icon -- a co-founder of The Home Depot, a former director of the New York Stock Exchange, and a world-class philanthropist. In this memoir he finally tells the gripping story of his unlikely rise and storied career. That story doubles as a passionate defense of the American Dream: a county in which any young striver can reach the maximum potential of his or her talents and work ethic. It wasn't easy for an Italian American kid from a blue-collar family to break into the clubby, WASP-dominated world of Wall Street in the late 1950s. But Langone pulled it off, in part by trusting his gut and teaming up with other go-getters who didn't fit the traditional mold. For instance, he shares the story of how his bravado and perseverance persuaded Ross Perot to hire him to lead Perot's first IPO, for Electronic Data Systems. Their shockingly high offer price astonished the investment banking community and cemented both of their reputations. He describes how he learned to evaluate a business by applying common sense, not just the formulas he picked up at his night school business classes. His instinct about the potential for Bernie Marcus's idea for a big-box hardware chain led him to team up with Marcus and Arthur Blank to co-found The Home Depot.
