Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Anatoli Stepanovich Ivanov

First, the author's credentials. Carroll served as a radar intercept officer, RIO, the guy in tha backseat of an F-14, for fifteen years and now teaches at the Naval Academy. So when he says that being shot off a catapult is "life pasing through him. . .all the 'accelerated roller coasters' and 'car crash and orgasm mixed into one' analaogies did not do the feeling injustice," he knows what he's talking about. Punk is an F-14 fighter pilot whose unit is assigned to routine patrol off the coast of Iran. An Iranian jet sneaks through radar observation and makes a pass at the carrier, escaping when the Squadron commander makes a mistake and presses the gun toggle switch instead arming the missile. The result is an admiral totally paranoid that an enemy could come so close, so he orders round-the-clock combat air patrol (CAP) coverage by flyers with more than five hundred hours. This required more than three missions per day. This extremely demanding operation begins to wear out the machines and the men with numerous night landings, "a most terrifying task." Fuzzy, one of the other pilots, loses a wheel on an aborted landing, forcing a barricade landing. "With that bit of news, Fuzzy promptly placed the contents of his bowels into the seat of his flight suit." When, on final approach, he loses his full complement of hydraulics, he contemplates ejection into the drink, the thought of "going for a swim might not be all that bad in that it would clean the mess out of his flight suit." He is reminded to drop all his weapons in case they would come off during the smash into the barricade, adding several millions of dollars to the ordnance cost of what they were now calling the "Great Iranian War," and Fuzzy muses, "If the Iraninans only knew how well they were doing now by doing nothing. By now, his wingman, Punk, is way short of fuel and the Viking launched to gas him up develops a problem with the fueling cable forcing Punk, to head for the Air Force base in Kuwait. Unfortunately, the Air Force won't open the base (it's after two in the morning) because the request didn't come through the proper channels. So Smoke, the Punk's "rep" on the carrier, defies orders (Punk had been ordered to return to CAP position even though he had virtually no fuel left), and calls Kuwait International Airport, also closed, but he gets the facilities manager who says, sure, "give me two minutes ." "Smoke coudn't believe dealing with a Kuwaiti at a foreign international airport was easier than working with a U.S. Air Force officer, but then again, maybe that wasn't such a big surprise." No more spoilers. You get the idea. This book is exciting, funny, and very realistic in the sense of confusion that reigns as the carrier staff try to juggle multiple problems to keep the planes flying as personal agendas compete with a variety of scenarios. Certainly makes you wonder....

Tớ Tìm Hiểu Nghề - Nhà Khoa Học Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Thanh Lan

Kristan Higgins' books may look like your average romance paperback, but inside the ordinary covers are extraordinary books. Ms. Higgins tells a great romantic tale but doesn't make the mistake so many romance writers do and try to elevate the story by bludgeoning the reader with great blocks of purple prose. Her plots may sound average, but the characters are fresh and real, her writing crisp and natural. I'll read anything she puts out.

Di Hòa Viên Những Thăng Trầm Lịch Sử Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Award winning thriller set in rural Texas during the Depression. Although the narrator is now an elderly man living in a nursing home, the story is told from the narrator's perspective as an 11 year old boy. While out in the wooded area along the river behind their home known as The Bottoms, Harry and his sister Tom discover the body of a murdered woman, setting off a chain of events that effects their family as well as the entire community. Excellent read - dark, atmospheric, suspenseful, but also a boy's coming of age story. As other reviewers have noted, Lansdale owes thanks to Harper Lee.

This book was OK. The author is obviously very intelligent and a great writer, though quite self-indulgent. I wish all of us had the means to go off on a round-the-world voyage of self-discovery. Books like this are great, but I find myself wondering who would get all the work of the world done if everyone went off to find themselves. I liked the book a lot right after I finished it, but having had a few months to think about it, it's just kind of annoying. How many miserable people had to perform some menial task along the way so this whiny asshole who already leads a life of extraordinary privilege could experience personal growth?

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Sasaki Masami

I came across this novel some 15 years ago in a used book store. I thought it looked like a good read so I bought it. Lo and behold, I'd found a gem! I read this book several times over before I was able to find the sequels. I began searching for the entire series thinking the author had finished. To my surprise he had not. I spoke to Joel Rosenberg on the phone a few times before he passed away and always expressed my adoration of these novels that served as a gateway to the rest of his works. This novel and those that followed it are worthy of your time.
