The debut novel in the James Maguire series.
"There was, after all, only so much a person could plan for. Fate ultimately controlled the rest..."
From fighting in war torn countries, to the crime-riddled streets of Brooklyn north, former Navy SEAL, and recently retired NYPD detective, James Maguire thought he had seen it all.
Now, after a career of sacrifices, he was finally putting the pieces of his life back together. He had started a new career, running his own security threat-assessment firm, and was quite content with his bachelor life, or so he thought. Then he met an alluring businesswoman from Long Island's posh enclave of Southampton. It looked like things were changing in a way he had not thought possible; at least until the morning news reported that his former high school flame had gone missing from a one car accident, in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York.
Arriving back in his old hometown, to join in the search, Maguire must not only come to terms with the past he left behind, but the fact that no one seems interested in pursuing the woman's disappearance; especially her husband who is now the sheriff.
As he struggles to piece the clues together, he is drawn deeper into a deadly game where people are as expendable as pawns on a chess board and the only goal is to take down the king; an unwanted crown that Maguire now wears.
Perfect for fans of James Patterson, Lee Child, Michael Connelly and J.D. Robb.

Описание: By the end of the 1960s, the Hollywood West of Tom Mix, Randolph Scott, and even John Wayne was pass? - or so the story goes. Many film historians and critics have argued that movies portraying a mythic American West gave way to revisionist films that influential filmmakers such as Sam Peckinpah and Robert Altman made as violent critiques of the Western's ""golden years."" Yet rumors surrounding the death of the Western have been greatly exaggerated, says film historian Andrew Patrick Nelson. Even as the Wild Bunch and John McCabe rode forth, John Wayne remained the Western's number one box office draw. How, then, could there have been a revisionist reckoning at a time when the Duke was still in the saddle? In Still in the Saddle, Nelson offers readers a new history of the Hollywood Western in the 1970s, a time when filmmakers tried to revive the genre by appealing to a diverse audience that included a new generation of socially conscious viewers. Nelson considers a comprehensive filmography of releases from 1969 to 1980 in light of the visual tropes and narratives developed and reworked in the genre from the 1930s to the present. In so doing, he reveals the complexity of what is probably the most interesting period in Western movie history. His incisive reevaluations of such celebrated (or infamous) films as The Wild Bunch and Heaven's Gate and examinations of dozens of forgotten and neglected Westerns, including the final films of John Wayne, demonstrate that there was more to the 1970s Western than simple revision. Instead, we see not only important connections between canonical and lesser-known films of the period, but also continuities between these and older Westerns. Nelson believes an ongoing, cyclical process of regeneration thus transcends established divisions in the genre's history. Among the books currently challenging the prevailing ""evolutionary"" account of the Western, Still in the Saddle thoroughly revises our understanding of this exciting and misunderstood period in the Western's history and adds innovatively and substantially to our knowledge of the genre as a whole.

In the aftermath of a horrific terrorist attack, NYPD 1st Dep. Commissioner, James Maguire, must pull together the pieces of his personal life, even as racial tensions in New York City threaten to boil over, putting the fledgling administration of his friend, Police Commissioner Rich Stargold, at risk.
As the investigation hits road blocks at each turn, Maguire connects the disparate strands of information, watching as a spider's web of lies, espionage, and terrorism emerges. Does the path lead to the Middle East, or is a more sinister plot unfolding in the Nation's Capital?
Can Maguire be able to put the clues together in time to stop an international incident from occurring, or will it thrust the country into the middle of a crisis that could launch World War III?
The clock is ticking.
Perfect for fans of James Patterson, Lee Child, Jeff Carson, Michael Connelly and J.D. Robb.

Goodpaster: Best Practices in National Security Affairs ISBN: 1442272287 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781442272286 Издательство: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Рейтинг: Цена: 67590.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: General Andrew J. Goodpaster (1915-2005) was a brilliant military leader, a scholar and, most of all, an exceptional presidential adviser who served under seven successive administrations. A respected strategist, he participated at the highest levels of government in many of the most important decisions of the second half of the twentieth century. As President Eisenhower's Staff Secretary, he was the de facto originator of the National Security Council process and served as a mentor and role model to his successors down to the present day. He was involved in many security challenges, such as establishing and sustaining NATO, planning for nuclear weapons and arms control, and implementing d tente. He developed a collaborative method of approaching national security affairs --a style that reflected a strong capacity to engage effectively the necessary people to work together to achieve the best possible outcomes. In doing so, he learned and taught best practices in national security that still influence decision making today. This biography shows the importance of experienced soldier-scholars with high integrity on national security teams and provides the first systematic mining of the documents Goodpaster wrote on national security. Organized chronologically, it demonstrates how Goodpaster was able to adapt best practices to a constantly changing political, military, economic and technological environment. It also explains why he was so frequently selected as an insider in national security decision making. His life and work reveal how best to approach complex national security problems and the kind of collaborative leadership needed to get the job done. Still today, his method confirms General Scowcroft's view that Goodpaster is "too important to ignore."
