    Cet auteur puise dans une riche diversité d'expériences de vie, ayant été pilote, psychologue, officier de l'armée de l'air et propriétaire de restaurant. Ses voyages l'ont mené aux quatre coins du globe, où il a rencontré la nature unique et changeante des gens, des présidents et dirigeants étrangers aux agents des services secrets. Il apporte une perspective singulière façonnée par son expérience dans l'aviation, y compris ses opérations de transport aérien présidentiel. Son dernier ouvrage évoque ses racines dans les collines des Appalaches, explorant les histoires colorées, quoique violentes, de ses habitants.

      An Introduction to English Syntax discusses the central concepts of syntax which are applied in a wide range of university courses, in business, in teaching and in speech therapy. The book deals with traditional concepts which have been greatly refined and extended over the past thirty what nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are and how they can be recognized; what a subordinate clause is and how different types of subordinate clauses can be recognized; what subjects and objects are. The book draws out the connections between syntax and meaning; in particular, two chapters focus on topics such as tense, mood and voice which are central to the use of language and are of major importance in second language learning.

      Here stands the New Man. His conception of reality is a dance of electronic images fired into his forebrain, a gossamer construction of his masters, designed so that he will not--under any circumstances--perceive the actual. This New Man's happiness is delivered to him through a tube or an electronic connection. His God lurks behind an electronic curtain; when the curtain is pulled away we find the CIA sorcerer, the media manipulator. Jeff Keith is one of the foremost writers and researchers on political conspiracy in the world today.

      Mat McCoy doesn't see himself as a hero. He's just a 747 pilot for a low budget overnight delivery company. But then, a small inflight fire forces the crew to break open a shipping container. After extinguishing the flames, they discover a severed human head. Mat starts asking questions and quickly finds himself confronting a cult-like organization that has infiltrated governments and businesses worldwide, all preparing for a global genocide seeking racial purity. They are rich and powerful and connected at the highest levels of many nations' businesses and governments. And now - they come after Mat. He runs, he hides, but who can he trust? Desperate, he seeks help from his one-time lover, a lawyer named Chandler. The two of them along with tough-guy Ron Male must face the international racist conglomerate to survive. It's a life-or-death game, but it is an unequal fight. The global syndicate of death is facilitated by a supercomputer that has access to almost every information source on earth. Mat finds notoriety and experience in the battle and is even lauded by the president who comes to trust him and even making him, a 747 pilot, the new Air Force One pilot. This association leads to a relationship of trust that allows Mat and a small group of loyal Americans to penetrate and ultimately destroy the plotters. The world breathes a sigh of relief. But the computer is still there - and no one has changed its programming.
