A high-stakes spy thriller, set in Paris and Hamburg, about the conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks.
Defending the Realm - The Electronic Warfare Battle on Culver Cliff during WW2During most of the Second World War the Isle of Wight was essentially a closed military camp supporting over 30 anti-aircraft batteries to protect Southampton and Portsmouth dockyards and an arsenal of coastal firepower to defend the Solent and the Island from Invasion.It was a perilous time when the fate of the nation hung in the balance and the Isle of Wight was the new front line. Four hundred years after the French invasion of 1545 the battle hardened German forces had plans in place to conquer the Island in less than 72 hours.After many years of detailed research Tim Wander has built up a fascinating picture of the varied technologies, buildings and systems - some of which have now all been forgotten - that were rushed into operation to protect the Island. From miles of undersea anti-submarine cables stretched out to the NAB tower and between the Solent Sea Forts, through to remote controlled minefields, nets, barbed wires, miles of anti-landing scaffolding barriers, mine fields, prototype radars, secret wireless stations, hydrophones and even beach flame barrages and perhaps poison gas. Each had their part to play in a vital integrated defence network that was assembled in haste after the disastrous retreat from Dunkirk.Terrified of a Bruneval Type commando raid against the experimental radar installations on Bembridge Fort and the huge headland wireless station which would not only control D-Day but also was a vital “Y station”, intercepting messages for decoding at Bletchley Park, Culver Cliff became one of the most fortified parts of the South coast.It bristled with guns and defences of every type, was staffed by over 300 men and women from all three services plus the Home Guard and radar engineers.While barrage balloon floated over head for a few hours the very fate of the nation rested on young RAF engineers as they struggled to construct a temporary radar station rushed to the Island from London to mimic the destroyed Chain Home radar base at Ventnor. Their actions fooled General Wolfgang Martini, responsible for the development of the advanced German radar technology systems to convince Hermann Göring, Commander of the Luftwaffe to stop attacking British radar installations - a decision that crucially changed the course of the war.The main 9.2 inch Culver Cliff and Nodes Point gun batteries protected the Solent entrances and the now lost Redcliff and Yaverland Forts provided a curtain of searchlights and weaponry to protect the high risk invasion beaches of Sandown and Shanklin below. By 1943 this protective shield made the Bay the obvious choice to install the fuel pumping stations for the ambitious engineering project that was codenamed PLUTO, the Pipeline Under The Ocean - designed to support the D-Day invasion.
More than twenty years have elapsed since the EMP and the country is still staggering.

For twelve years, what was left of the American people suffered under the despotic rule of President Alejandro Calderon. Finally, the near constant struggle just to simply stay alive has become too much to bear. The people are finally ready to rise up and follow someone, anyone, and fight back. All they need is someone willing to lead.

COVERS UNCOVERED The early 80s saw 2000 AD hit its golden era. With Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Sláine and more firing on all cylinders it became the UK’s most exciting and innovative comic. Its covers played no small part in its appeal, and those covers were the brainchild of Robin Smith whose job was to lay out a cover design to pass to an artist who would transform it into the finished product. This collection of some of Smith's cover layouts shows just how integral his ideas were to some of 2000 AD’s most famous and revered covers, and it’s a fascinating glimpse into the creative process. Featuring covers by some of the galaxy’s greatest artists, including Brian Bolland (The Killing Joke), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), Kevin O’Neill (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Mick McMahon (Judge Dredd), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Alan Davis (Captain Britain), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Cam Kennedy (Rogue Trooper), Massimo Belardinelli (Ace Trucking Co.), Eric Bradbury (Mytek The Mighty), Brett Ewins (Johnny Nemo), Glenn Fabry (Sláine), Ian Kennedy (Dan Dare), José Ortiz (The Thirteenth Floor), Cliff Robinson (Judge Dredd), Kim Raymond (Roy of the Rovers), Ron Smith (Judge Dredd), Brendan McCarthy (Rogan Gosh) and Bryan Talbot (Nemesis the Warlock).
Girls Aloud record the Pointer Sisters' 'Jump'; Atomic Kitten record Blondie's 'The Tide is High' and Kool and the Gang's 'Ladies Night'' Westlife record Billy Joel's 'Uptown Girl', Phil Collin's 'Against All Odds', Abba's 'I Have a Dream', and Barry Manilow's 'Mandy'-Thanks to the boom in TV-created pop stars, ancient pop classics have never had it so good, with 'Unchained Melody' massacred afresh by Gareth Gates and 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' eviscerated by Hear'Say. But back in pop's early days, every record was a cover version. Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald were famous for interpreting other people's songs, and the closest Elvis Presley ever got to writing one was when his manager, Colonel Parker, arm-twisted the rights away from the original songwriters. The balance of power shifted when The Beatles and the Stones wrote all their own material, yet the great tradition of the cover version never died. In this elegantly-tooled volume, Adam Sweeting gets the lowdown on cover versions - the worst, the most popular, the most frequently recorded, the most successful, the stupidest, the most tasteless, the most influential, and the ones nobody got around to yet.
On December 21 1988, 270 people died when Pan Am 103 was blown out of the sky over Lockerbie. It was the worst-ever act of airline terrorism against the United States. It's also been called the world's biggest unsolved murder. Finally, after 11 years of investigation, political stalemate and legal delays, two Libyan men are facing trial for the Lockerbie bombing. But many observers -including legal and law enforcement officials close to the case -say the trial may not produce a satisfying answer to the question of who bombed Pan Am 103. Cover Up of Convenience will answer the questions that the autoritis wish to bury. It will show that the bombing was anything but a straightforward act of terrorism perpetrated against civilised, western nations by an evil dictator. The shocking truth is that the Western intelligence services were complicit in the murders. From the moment the plane went down, a supposedly impartial investigation was distorted in order to conceal this dark reality from the victims' relatives and the public.
On a busy Friday night in 1964, a woman's partially clothed body is discovered in London's Soho Square. She has been raped and strangled. With no one reported missing, her identity remains a mystery. Assuming the victim to be a prostitute, DCI Jackson is inclined to dismiss the case. Detective Sergeant Harry Barnard disagrees.Harry's partner Kate meanwhile has been despatched to her native Liverpool to work on a magazine feature about the city's remarkable regeneration, timed to coincide with the release of the Beatles' movie, A Hard Day's Night.As Harry's investigations point to evidence of a cover-up at the highest level, Kate's assignment leads her to uncover a darker side to 1960s' Liverpool - and a possible link to the Soho murder victim. Are she and Harry getting into something too deep and dangerous for them to handle?
Cover-up of a Royal Murder: Hundreds of Errors in the Paget Report

Cover-up of a Royal Murder is a thorough investigation of the British inquiry - the Paget report - into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed. It uses eye-witness, documentary and other evidence to prove that the conclusions drawn in the Paget report are fundamentally flawed -- yet it is the Paget report that is set to form the basis for the upcoming British inquest. This is the book that proves beyond reasonable doubt that Princess Diana was murdered and that there is a lot more to the Paris crash than the French and British investigations have revealed. "Cover-up" provides credibility to the lingering doubts of a large section of the British and international public -- doubts that remain even 10 years after the crash. This book lays down a huge challenge to those who believe the death of Diana Princess of Wales was just a tragic accident. Cover-up of a Royal Murder exposes one of the greatest cover-ups of our time.
