The President is Missing A Political Thriller You think you can draw conclusions from the facts, right? You think you can watch the news and understand what's going on, right? What if you're wrong? In The President is Missing, you are instantly drawn into a massive and terrifying conspiracy that threatens the United States itself. "What the hell just happened?" I asked Barbara Hightower, my assistant. We were watching a TV first, a live broadcast by the President of the United States from a nuclear submarine deep under the waters of the South Atlantic. The President, Matt Blake, also happens to be my husband. Matt, dressed in naval officer's fatigues, faced the camera holding a microphone. He looked great, but then he always does. Matt's so natural in front of the camera, it's as if the technology was invented for him. But the screen suddenly went blank. "Beats me, ma'am," Barbara said. "If we can't maintain communications with a nuclear submarine, what the hell can we communicate with?" President Matt Blake was addressing the nation from the USS Louisiana, a nuclear submarine deep under the waters of the South Atlantic. His message is suddenly cut off. Nearby ships reported hearing an explosion. Aircraft reported floating debris five minutes later in the vicinity of the sub's last known position. The nation went into mourning for the loss of the popular president. But First Lady, Dee Blake has doubts. Her husband, a lawyer, always told her to distrust the evidence. She did more than distrust the evidence-she uncovered a massive conspiracy to hijack the submarine and kidnap the president. She thinks the explosion and the debris were a ruse to make people think the sub was destroyed and her husband with it. Could the sub have been hijacked and the president kidnapped? But who would commit such an act? What is its purpose? Was it Russia, China, Iran, or a shadowy group of freelance terrorists? One thing was certain: the plot had to include mutineers. The new president, Roland Benton, agrees with Dee Blake's suspicions and sees himself as only an interim president. He appoints Dee as his Chief of Staff, with explicit instructions to find the missing submarine-and President Blake. Dee finds the workings of a secretive group right in the United States, a group everyone had thought was destroyed. Her life, and the life of the nation, suddenly take a horrifying turn. "A nail-biting thriller that holds you until the explosive ending." Buy this page-turner and get ready for a wild ride.

Using a framework based on J. L. Austin’s understanding of performative speech and Angela Esterhammer’s work on how things are done with words in Milton’s and Blake’s poetry, this study provides an extended close reading of the speech acts of characters in Blake’s epic poem Milton. With the exception of what we learn about in the part of the poem known as the Bard’s Song, Blake’s Milton is dedicated to providing an incredibly detailed account of the numerous facets of the instant of time immediately prior to apocalypse, an instant in which Milton is the protagonist, and Blake himself a participant. This study explores how in the poem sacred history proceeds towards and through the instant by means of the speech act. This extended commentary is intended for not just Blake scholars but also the common reader who wishes to approach Blake’s brief epic for the first time. For scholars, this monograph offers a full account of a crucial but previously unexplored theme in the scholarship about Milton. For the common reader, it offers a comprehensive introduction to what Northrop Frye called ‘one of the most gigantic imaginative achievements in English poetry’.

Sideswiped A Matt Blake Legal and Political Thriller You're a famous courtroom lawyer at the top of your game. You've just signed up a huge wrongful death case. Your beautiful client's husband was killed in a sideswipe car collision, and the evidence of defendant's negligence is overwhelming. But something bothers you. Is the evidence too overwhelming? Your senior investigator starts to turn up some strange facts, facts that indicate that this may not be a negligence case at all. Is it a murder case? Matt Blake is a Chicago trial lawyer and highly decorated Marine combat veteran. After losing his beloved fianc e in a tragic car accident, he finds that he has more battles to fight: alcohol and drugs. He gradually realizes that his life is spiraling downward, and that he needs help with the battle. He seeks the help of Dr. Benjamin Weinberg, a psychiatrist who's also a family friend and consultant to his law firm. With Dr. Weinberg's help, Matt tames the monsters that sought to devour him. After rehab, he turns his attention to one of the most serious personal injury cases his firm has handled. It involved a sideswipe car accident in which his client's husband, a famous political journalist, was killed. The case looked almost routine from a liability point of view. Numerous eyewitnesses gave sworn statements that they saw the defendant motorist talking on his cellphone just before his car slammed into the plaintiff's husband. The eyewitness evidence pointed toward negligence. At first it looked like an open-and-shut personal injury case. But evidence began to mount quickly that the "accident" may have been intentional-that it may have been murder. But Matt and his team struggle with a big question: Why would James Spellman have been murdered? Matt finally meets the firm's client, Diana Spellman, James Spellman's widow. She's a strikingly beautiful university professor and well-known writer. Matt, having licked his alcohol and drug problem, as well as the loss of his fianc e, finds himself swept off his feet by the lovely Diana Spellman. He shares his past drug and alcohol problems with her, and she shares her similar problems with him. Besides having lost lovers in similar type car accidents, Diana and Matt discover that their lives have a lot in common. But Diana has another problem-she's a murder target. As James Spellman's informal editor, she knew every story that her husband was working on before his death, stories that contained secrets-secrets that threaten the highest levels of government, secrets that someone or some group does not want out in the open, secrets for which they're willing to murder in order to keep quiet. Matt's attraction to Diana is mirrored by her attraction to him. It occurred to Diana that they were both playing a polite game of cat and mouse. So, one Monday morning Diana showed up at Matt's office unannounced. She sat in front of his desk and looked him in the eyes. "I love you Matt. I drop dead friggin' love you." But their love is soon complicated by assassination attempts on both Diana and Matt. They enter the FBI's Witness Protection Program, which was not as protective as they expected. During a wild gunfight with terrorists who are trying to assassinate them, Diana risks her life to save Matt. What began as a routine personal injury case suddenly evolved into a vast terrorist conspiracy-and Diana was at the center of it all. Sideswiped is a crime drama, a legal thriller, a tale of terrorism, and finally, a compelling love story of two people who dedicate their lives to each other. It's a story of enduring love, kept alive in the face of crippling fear. The book will grab you by the gut, as well as by the heart.

Russell Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning autobiography about growing up in America during the Great Depression. "Magical....He has taken such raw, potentially wrenching material and made of it a story so warm, so likable, and so disarmingly funny...a work of original biographical art."--The New York Times In this heartfelt memoir, groundbreaking Pulitzer-winning New York Times columnist Russell Baker traces his youth from the backwoods mountains of Virginia to a New Jersey commuter town to the Depression-shadowed landscape of Baltimore. His is a story of adversity and courage, the poignancy of love and the awkwardness of sex, of family bonds and family tensions. We meet the people who influenced Baker's early life: his strong and loving mother, his bold little sister Doris, the awesome matriarch Ida Rebecca and her twelve sons. Here, too, are schoolyard bullies, great teachers, and the everyday heroes and heroines of the Depression who faced disaster with good cheer as they tried to muddle through. A modern day classic filled with perfect turns of phrase and traces of quiet wisdom, Growing Up is a coming of age story that is "the stuff of American legend" (The Washington Post Book World).
