Dale Brown's Dreamland
by Jim Defelice
The weapon is codenamed "Razor" -- the brainchild of the brilliant minds at Dreamland -- a mobile chemical laser system with a range of 600 kilometers capable of downing anything that flies. The destruction of an American aircraft over northern Iraq suggests the inexplicable and unthinkable: a vengeful foe now possesses the lethal technology. It is fear that draws a retired warrior back to the battlefield, and sends Dreamland's best pilots to the skies to determine what the enemy has and to help take it away from him. But politics threatens to crush a covert engagement that must be won in the air and on the ground, unleashing a devastating rain of friendly fire that could ultimately annihilate a nation's champions ... and perhaps Dreamland itself.
The Complete Aubrey/Maturin Novels
by Patrick O'Brian
A handsomely bound omnibus edition of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring classics, including three chapters of the unfinished twenty-first novel. The recent release of the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World has focused even more attention on the publishing phenomenon of the late Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels about the Royal Navy in the age of Nelson. These five volumes, beautifully produced and boxed, contain over 7,000 pages of what has often been described as a single, continuous narrative. They are a perfect tribute to such a literary achievement, and a perfect gift for the serious O'Brian enthusiast. 5 volumes, boxed, 1396 pages each volume.
Double Cross Blind
by Joel Ross
December 1, 1941. Seven days before the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor. The days are numbered for Sondegger, a Nazi spy in London. Captured on a mission to take down the Twenty Committee, a network of German spies the British have turned, Sondegger steadfastly refuses to reveal how and where he transmits his intelligence to Germany, and his captors are getting impatient. For American Tom Wall the days have run together, as he awakens to find himself locked in a British military asylum. Wounded and shell-shocked, he remembers only that his brother Earl betrayed his unit in Crete, causing one of the bloodiest massacres of the war. MI5 releases Tom by way of a bargain. Pretend to be Earl and convince Sondegger to reveal how and where he has arranged to transmit his intelligence to Germany. Fail, and Tom will spend the rest of the war in jail. Succeed, and though still considered a danger to himself, he will be allowed to leave the hospital to find Earl — the brother who stole his girl and may well be a Nazi informant. But Sondegger proves himself to be a formidable opponent. Even as he surrendered himself to the British, Sondegger knew the Japanese fleet had sailed for Pearl Harbor. The question is: Who will gain more if the Allies prevent the attack? Sondegger, MI5, the OSS, Tom, and Earl’s wife, Harriet, all have different answers — separate theories on what will become known as the Day of Infamy. Unable to trust anyone, Tom attempts to save the Twenty Committee and stop the attack on Pearl Harbor as the clock counts down. In his electrifying debut, Joel Ross combines political insights based on newly declassified evidence with the high stakes and fast pace of a classic WWII spy novel. No wonder New York Times bestselling author Dan Silva describes DOUBLE CROSS BLIND as "intelligent, fresh, exhilarating…a new career is launched.”
Act of War
by Dale Brown
From the corridors of power in Washington to the frontlines of the war on terror, Dale Brown takes you to the heart of the action and introduces his most exhilarating character to date In Act of War , Dale Brown goes beyond anything he's done before, taking readers deep into the new world of intelligence-focused warfare, and introducing a cutting-edge new hero: thirty-two-year-old Army Major Jason Richter, designer of a whole array of futuristic infantry weapons and devices created to hunt down a new breed of enemy with unmatched speed and lethality. With all the thrilling battle scenes and expert military maneuvers that have become the hallmark of this New York Times bestselling author, this is an intense, action-packed spectacle that combines geopolitics, terrorism, and warfare. Near Houston, Texas, an oil refinery belonging to one of the world's largest multinational energy companies is destroyed by a "backpack" nuclear device. This is just one of many attacks being perpetrated against the company around the world by a group whose mission is to stop global corporations and government organizations from plundering the world's natural resources in the name of profit. Before this group strikes again, Jason Richter is called in with his top-secret high-tech military unit, code-named Task Force TALON, a special joint military and FBI unit set up by the national security advisor to track down and defeat terrorists around the world. Richter believes there is only one strategy in which to snare his opponents -- find, pursue, engage, and kill. And the only way to do this is to play them at their own game: Be unconventional and swift, hit-and-run and brutal enough to strike fear into the heart of the most dedicated terrorist. Richter must also lead the way through a series of unexpected turns that eventually uncovers a mole high up within the government who is in pursuit of his own personal revenge. If Richter fails, it won't be just the lives of his team that are lost, but America itself.

The Wild Blue: The Novel of the U.S. Air Force
Boyne, Walter J. Thompson, Steven L
Random House Value Publishing, 1988. Moderate soiling to inside page edges o/w VG. Light tip bump to boards, light edgewear to jacket. From This bulky novel about the U.S. Air Force from its creation in 1947 to 1978 was composed, we are told, on the writers' personal computersa fact possibly responsible, in part, for its undistinguished style and lack of sustained tension. Boyne (one-time USAF career officer and author of several books on flying) and Thompson (Air Force "brat" and author of three thrillers) seem admirably qualified to capture and novelize what Thompson calls the "closed culture" of the USAF. Yet their all-too-comprehensive storywhich follows the fortunes of a handful of airmen (and their families), among them an egotistic careerist carrying on family tradition, a thrill-seeker and a blackwhips the reader back and forth between America and Europe, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East, covering the labors of ground crews, aerial combat, hazardous test flights, Pentagon infighting and racial friction and has about it a cranked-out quality that makes relatively dull reading. Excitements there are (if too brief and too few); the characters seem real (if none are memorable); and there is authentic detail aplenty. What the authors have signally failed to come up with is the imagination that might have turned sociomilitary history into genuine drama. 75,000 ad/promo; author tour. 1986 The average reader may be put off by this novel about the Air Force. At half the length it would probably appeal to male readers, and to pilots especially, but the size and the three-page glossary of acronyms may reduce its popularity. The authors know their subject (Boyne, a retired Air Force colonel, is director of the National Air and Space Museum), and the has a military atmosphere. Six men are the focus, with the history of the Air Force revealed through their careers from 1947 to the present. Each of the men is mildly stereotyped, and the minor characters are almost too numerous to track. Whenever the momentum begins to flag, someone crashes, and death is treated in a cavalier manner. What Janet Dailey and Jeane Westin did for the women's services, Boyne and Thompson have done for the Air Force, but not as well. Andrea Lee Shuey, Dallas 1986. First Edition Stated NL with 1.

The Wild Blue: The Novel of the U.S. Air Force
Boyne, Walter J.; Thompson, Steven L
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Crown Publishers, 1986. This is a 626 page hardcover book with dustjacket. From the dustjacket, "Sweeping, filled with all the thrill and glamour of flight, The Wild Blue is a panoramic novel of the men, the women, and the machines that made the Air Force the elite and gutsy flying corps it is today. Tracing the U. S. Air Force from its inception in 1947 through the latest ascents into space, The Wild Blue follows the lives of six very different airmen, at work, at play, and in love. Each joins the force for his own reasons one seeking thrills, one in love with the complex mechanism that is a flying machine, still another because the military is the "family business." From basic training to the Berlin airlift, from Korea to Vietnam and the Middle East, The Wild Blue unfolds in gripping detail, telling from inside the cockpit the story of battle, perilous test flights, competition in the air and on the ground, and stellar performances under constant pressure and risk. More than just an authoritative tale of fighting men, The Wild Blue is a loving depiction of military families focusing par-ticularly on military wives. It captures all their joys and agonies from women who staunchly support their men through separations and passionate reunions, to those who succumb to loveless marriages and alcoholism, to the women who overcome the odds, forging successful careers of their own and coming to terms with their men and the force they serve. From the earth to the stars, romantic, adventurous, often heartrending, and always incredibly authentic, The Wild Blue is an epic novel of the call to glory." Condition - book: very good. DJ: light edge wear to head of spine.. First Edition. ( more information) Offered by Harrison's Books (United States)

Wild Blue: First Edition
Boyne, Walter J. & Thompson, Steven L
Crown Publishers, 1986. First Edition. Hard Cover. Collectible - Very Good/Very Good. Type: y 1986 FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING HARDCOVER. 'First Edition' stated on copyright page with full numberline (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) and a $19.95 list price on front dust jacket flap. Minimal dust jacket edge wear, otherwise in beautiful condition. Binding tight, pages clean & bright. "Sweeping, filled with all the thrill and glamour of flight, The Wild Blue is a panoramic novel of the men, the women, and the machines that made the Air Force the elite and gutsy flying corps it is today. Tracing the U.S. Air Force from its inception in 1947 through the latest ascents into space, The Wild Blue follows the lives of six very different airmen, at work, at play, and in love. Each joins the force for his own reasons - one seeking thrills, one in love with the complex mechanisms that is a flying machine, still another because the military is the 'family business.' From basic training to the Berlin airlift, from Korea to Vietnam and the Middle East, The Wild Blue unfolds in gripping detail, telling from inside the cockpit the story of battle, perilous test flight, competition in the air and on the ground, and stellar performances under constant pressure and risk. More than just an authoratative tale of fighting men, The Wild Blue is a loving depiction of military families - focusing particularly on military wives. It captures all their joys and agonies - from women who staunchly support their men through separations and passionate reunions, to those who succumb to loveless marriages and alcoholism, to the women who overcome the odds, forging successful careers of their own and coming to terms with their man and the force they serve. From the earth to the stars, romantic, adventurous, often heartrendering, and always incredibly authentic, The Wild Blue is an epic novel of the call to glory.
