Beschreibung

The immense Allied landing on the coast of France signals invasion to the enemy, and the mighty German panzer divisions begin a furious race northward to the beaches of Normandy. With the outcome of the war at stake, the daredevil pilots of Squadron 633 take on their most harrowing mission ever: Operation Titan. A 100-mile flight through occupied territory to destroy the crucial and massively guarded bridge across the Loire River.
 
Frederick E. Smith (1919-2012) joined the R.A.F. in 1939 as a wireless operator/air gunner and commenced service in early 1940, serving in Britain, Africa, and finally the Far East. At the end of the war, he married and worked for several years in South Africa before returning to England to fulfill his lifelong ambition to write. Two years later, his first play was produced and his first novel published. Since then, he wrote over forty novels, about eighty short stories, and two plays. Two novels, 633 Squadron and The Devil Doll, were made into films, and one, A Killing for the Hawks, won the Mark Twain Literary Award.

    Some men dream of changing society. Others simply hope to survive luncheon without disgrace.
    In Comrade Bingo, P. G. Wodehouse unleashes another round of romantic confusion, social acrobatics, and impeccably polished nonsense. Bertie Wooster finds himself observing a world in which revolutionary ideals, aristocratic habits, and spectacularly poor decisions coexist far too comfortably. At the center of it all is Bingo Little — enthusiastic, impressionable, and once again dangerously in love. As political fervor collides with drawing-room etiquette, disguises become necessary, loyalties become flexible, and even the most respectable gathering threatens to dissolve into chaos.
    Effortlessly witty and irresistibly light-footed, this is a masterclass in comic precision and the particular kind of disaster that only English gentlemen can create with complete sincerity.

    "Do nothing which is of no use."
    
    Miyamoto Musashi was Japan's greatest swordsman, a "Sword Saint" who fought over sixty duels and never lost. In The Book of Five Rings, he reveals the secret of his success: the "Way of Strategy." Divided into five books—Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void—this text transcends physical swordplay. Musashi teaches that victory comes from an unshakeable mind, perfect timing, and the ability to adapt to any circumstance. Whether you are a martial artist, a business leader, or a student of life, Musashi's ruthless efficiency and profound Zen-like clarity offer a blueprint for mastery over oneself and one's enemies.
    
    The Way of the Two Heavens: Musashi explains his unique Niten Ichi-ryū style—the art of fighting with two swords simultaneously. He uses this as a metaphor for being prepared at all times and using every resource available to its maximum potential.
    
    The Psychology of Conflict: Musashi delves deep into the mental game of battle. He discusses "crushing" an opponent's spirit, the importance of "the gaze" (how to look at an enemy without focusing on their sword), and the necessity of maintaining a "mountain-and-sea" mind—vast and ever-changing.
    
    Why It Is a Global Bestseller: Beyond its historical value, The Book of Five Rings is studied in boardrooms around the world. Its lessons on decisive action, the danger of hesitation, and the relentless pursuit of one's goal make it a timeless manual for anyone seeking a competitive edge.

    He’s a hardened ex-criminal. She’s a stranger to his world. 
    Adrik Volkov worked hard to wipe the slate clean of his criminal past for his sake and his brother’s. Bringing Volkov Industries into the 21st century has taken everything he’s got. But it’s been worth it. His company’s patented mining techniques for harvesting rare earth metals used in electronics and smart tech have made him a billionaire. 
    Instead of breaking legs and taking names, he’s attending parties with people he neither likes nor understands. It’s all part of his new title. But money can’t erase his harsh upbringing. Once a brawler, always a brawler. Those skills come in handy when he sees a woman being accosted at one of the ritzy, booze filled gatherings he must attend. 
    Sofia DiFalco was more than just a damsel in distress. The curvy stranger made his body buzz with desire and his hard heart beat a little faster. From the second he saw her, Adrik wanted only one thing. Sofia in his bed. But after one tantalizing night, she disappears without a trace. 
    He tries to forget her, but she’s an obsession, and he just can’t let go.

    Pomona and Jone of Rudder Grange fame travel to England and Scotland. Along the way, Pomona tangles with wild pigs, haymaking, hotels great and small, Pullman cars, comparison-makers, and a Duchess. She makes two matches and - in her usual, unorthodox way - stag hunts and attends a knighting. Pomona is as hilarious as ever, if a bit more rounded off on the edges.
