Steve Prefontaine was better known to the world as simply "Pre". He was more than an exceptional athlete; he was an exceptional person. Pre once said "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the Gift." This book is not about what Pre gained during his short and brilliant life, but what he refused to give up as celebrity status settled inevitably on his shoulders. This unique story of Pre is specifically written for young people. Rocketman is told through the eyes and voice of Owen Morgan. Owen is a literary conduit through which the entirely factual events and characters are presented. The stories Owen shares with the readers are the stories of the people who knew and loved Steve Prefontaine, and the people Pre loved. *Author royalties will go to a special fund established by Linda Prefontaine for physical education and arts programs at Blossom Gulch School in Coos Bay Oregon. Blossom Gulch was both Steve and Linda's former elementary school. Rocketman CD is now available!!

Walter Isaacson's "enthralling" (The New Yorker) worldwide bestselling biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.Based on more than forty interviews with Steve Jobs conducted over two years--as well as interviews with more than 100 family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues--Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. Isaacson's portrait touched millions of readers. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with the author, he asked for no control over what was written. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. He himself spoke candidly about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues offer an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values. Steve Jobs is the inspiration for the movie of the same name starring Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels, directed by Danny Boyle with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin.

While doing research on the Internet concerning an article he is writing, Steve comes upon a startling and little known fact concerning the French 2nd Armored Division and the German 33rd Waffen SS Charlemagne Division that occurred at the end of the war. The German 33rd Waffen French SS Charlemagne Division is composed of Frenchmen who joined the German army. A patrol of 20 French Waffen SS of the Charlemagne Division surrendered without trying to fight to the US American army. These men were transferred to the control of the French 2nd Armored Division. The French SS tried to escape by fear of reprisals. They finally are captured in a small forest, encircled by two French companies. General Leclerc will question them. Asked about their German uniforms, they replied: "And you, you have an American uniform " Judging their attitude insolent, the General decides to execute them. The execution will take place, on May 9 1945. His curiosity brings him to ask his friend in Sacy the Colonel who was in the French 2nd Armored Division and in Bad Reichenhall at that exact time. The Colonel confidentially tells Steve that not all 20 French prisoners were shot because he knew for certain that a squad of 8 men escaped and were never captured or ever heard of again. Their names were Conrad Heintz, Kaufmann, K hler, Kurt Bischwiller, Louie Haguenau, Xavier Baysinger and Georges Ribbonet all from Mulhouse and Kurt Dammerskirch It was most likely they headed for the German army still in west Czechoslovakia where the German 7th Army controlled the sector. For Steve this was too close to the city of Stechovice where the SS had hidden the war loot they had gathered during the war. Having participated in the discovery and retrieval of part of the Stechovice treasure, Steve had a hunch that the escaped squad must have participated in the evacuation of the remainder of the treasure somewhere else like Argentina where the Rat Line had assisted many high ranking SS officers. Steve starts researching the escapees and finds clues to their whereabouts through a magic circle that he must interpret. Steve and Ping follow the clues one by one looking for the escapees and the remainder of the Stechovice treasure. Their search takes them to various places in France and especially Peru and Brazil.
