This book is about a young poor boy growing up during the Great Depression when organized crime was rampant, welfare didn't exist, food lines were commonplace, and hot tamales were available from a vendor on a modified bicycle, if you had the price. His mom, a widow since he was four years old, didn't have the price. Once a week, they had meat; it was sausage and what tasted like sawdust mixed in. He didn't like it, but he ate it because he was hungry. Sometimes, on Sundays, White Castle had hamburgers on sale, ten for a dollar. When his mom and his older half sister had a dollar, they ate like royalty. He could've eaten all ten by himself. When he was fifteen, he lied about his age and joined the US Navy and was never hungry again.

Out of the Blue is a historical action thriller set in the year 1812 and deals with the trials and tribulations of two prominent characters of that era, John Andrew, a local smuggler from Saltburn on the English Northeast coast and the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who invaded Russia in the same year. The text also bounces back to modern times where Ryan Thompson, armed with nothing more than his memories of an action comic magazine from his youth, uncovers the secrets of times gone by with the assistance of his pretty guide, Victoria Dunn. After two hundred years, the truth is finally revealed.

What can you do with a boss who bullies, a spouse who yells, or a friend who frequently bursts into tears?

"Mark Phillips" was the pseudonym of two well-known science fiction writers: Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer. Their joint pen-name, derived from their middle names (Philip and Mark), was coined soon after their original meeting, at a science-fiction convention. Both men were drunk at the time, which explains a good deal, and only one ever sobered up. A matter for constant contention between the collaborators was which one.They collaborated for some years, and devised an interesting method of work: Mr. Garrett handled the verbs, the adverbs and the interjections, Mr. Janifer the nouns, pronouns, and adjectives. Conjunctions are a matter of joint decision, and in the case of a tie, the entire game was replayed at Fenway Park, Boston, the following year.Regardless of who wrote what, Brain Twister is a highly enjoyable novel about spies and telepathy, as only two great writers could have conceived it!
