Donny Moore, a New Yorker with Barbadian roots and an ex-Marine makes a chance reunion with fellow Columbia NYC alumni, the stunning Marie Haughton. Marie has done well for herself, now the CEO of a five-star hotel and casino in Barbados - the Caribbean playground of the rich and famous. She invites Donny to party with her friends Opal Cadette, a recently-crowned Miss New York/Caribbean beauty queen and Glenda Travis, a wily director of the beauty pageant. When Marie is shot and Glenda goes missing in Barbados, Donny the last person to see Glenda alive becomes a prime suspect in her disappearance and a person of interest, especially for the American News Media. Donny tries to comfort Opal, a stranger to Barbados, but with more tricks than a magician, the crafty Opal deceives him. Suddenly he's out of his depth and entangled in a web of diamond smuggling and international drug-running villains. Scheming drug-runners make him an UZI target, and a depraved diamond smuggler, plans to carve him up.
She’s called ‘The Headhunter’. Petite North Walian Jade Jones certainly lived up to her nickname at London 2012 when she fought her way to become Britain’s youngest Olympic Champion. Using her trademark style of scoring extra points by targeting kicks to her opponent’s head, Jade secured her place in Olympic history as Britain’s most successful taekwondo player adding the Olympic Gold to her medal collection. In Headhunter Jade, still only 20, describes how her passion for the sport was sparked at the age of eight when her Grandad first took her to a class at his local club. Over the years her ambition and hard work has paid off, winning her numerous Sportswoman of the Year awards. As she works towards her Olympic goals for Rio 2016, Jade follows her mantra ‘If you believe... you can do it! Try hard enough and you can!’ And she does.

“For any enthusiast and/or modeler of the Hawker Hunter this book will be like catnip . . . outstanding images of this classic post war aircraft.” —Vintage Airfix Initially introduced in 1954 as a swept-wing, transonic, single-seat day interceptor, the Hawker Hunter rapidly succeeded the first-generation jet fighters in RAF service such as the Gloster Meteor and the de Havilland Venom. Powered by the then newly developed Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet, the Hunter’s performance transformed the RAF’s day fighter squadrons from the mid-1950s until the advent of the English Electric Lightning from the early 1960s. Even then, as successively improved variants of the type were produced with increasingly more capable engines and expanded fuel capacity, the Hunter successfully transitioned into a strike/ground attack fighter-bomber and fighter reconnaissance platform. Two-seat variants were developed for training and other secondary roles with the RAF and the Royal Navy and a few remained in use until 2001, albeit with specialized MoD Test and Evaluation units—well over forty years after the type’s initial introduction. This addition to the Flight Craft series follows our well-established format in that it is split into three primary sections. The first covers the Hawker Hunter using numerous photographs, informative captions and tables. The second is a 16-page full-color illustration section featuring detailed profiles and 2-views of many of the color schemes and markings carried by Hunters. The final section lists as many injection-molded plastic model kits of the Hunter, in all the major scales, that the authors could obtain, plus a photo gallery of models made by some of the world’s best modelers. “A delight for anyone modeling a Hunter as it is so comprehensive.” —British Military History

Solider, politician, miner, pioneer, scion of a Founding Father, William Stephen Hamilton led a prolific life. Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton examines the tumultuous early Republic period of American history through the life of Alexander Hamilton's son. Born in New York in 1797, the fifth son of Alexander Hamilton, he was only seven when his father was infamously killed in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. After resigning from West Point, Hamilton moved to frontier Illinois in 1817. The famous name of Hamilton that may have acquired him rank and prestige at one time was meaningless in a Midwestern frontier society driven by the Jacksonians. Yet, despite being hurled into a clash of economic, political, and cultural cultures, Hamilton determined to live his life by his own rules. A veteran of the Winnebago and Black Hawk Wars, Hamilton was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives before moving to the Wisconsin territory, where he founded the mining town of Hamilton's Diggings (Wiota, WI). When gold was discovered in California in 1848, he traveled west, where he would die in Sacramento in 1850. In Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton, author A. K. Fielding expands the story of the Hamilton family. Hamilton's life offers a firsthand account of the formation of the Midwestern states, the realities of life on the frontier, and mass migration caused by the California Gold Rush.
