Synopsis

In Morgan Robertson's novel 'The Grain Ship', the reader is immersed in a gripping tale of survival and oceanic peril. Through Robertson's vivid and descriptive writing style, the dangers faced by the crew of a grain ship navigating treacherous waters are conveyed with a sense of urgency and tension. The book not only serves as a thrilling maritime adventure but also delves into themes of human resilience, courage, and the unpredictability of nature. 'The Grain Ship' is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life at sea and the strength of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. Robertson's use of nautical terminology and detailed descriptions of maritime scenarios add authenticity to the story, making it a compelling read for fans of adventure literature. Morgan Robertson, a seasoned sailor himself, drew inspiration from his extensive experience at sea to craft 'The Grain Ship'. His firsthand knowledge of maritime life and the perils of the open ocean shines through in the authenticity of the book's setting and characters. Robertson's own encounters with dangerous waters likely fueled his imagination and added depth to the narrative, making 'The Grain Ship' a true reflection of his passion for the sea. I highly recommend 'The Grain Ship' to readers who enjoy immersive adventure stories and maritime fiction. Morgan Robertson's masterful storytelling and authentic depiction of life at sea make this novel a captivating and thrilling read that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who embarks on this maritime journey.

    On 5 September 1986, a gang of terrorists took over a Pan Am jumbo jet at Karachi Airport, Pakistan. The flight crew escaped, leading to a siege. The leader of the gang shot a passenger and threw his body out to show they meant business. He ordered a flight attendant to collect the passengers' passports. She was sure he would kill an American, so she bravely concealed any American passports with western names and faces. Frustrated and angry, he picked a British passport, and the flight attendant announced "Will Michael John Thexton please come to the front of the plane?" A haggard man with straggly hair and a long beard went forward. A three-year old Indian girl asked her parents, "What happened to the hippy man?"Mike Thexton was held at the front of the plane for twelve hours, waiting to be shot. When the ground power unit failed and the plane became dark, the terrorists put him back with the others, before opening fire indiscriminately. At least 20 people died and over a hundred were injured, but Mike escaped by jumping off the wing of the plane and running away, sure that he would wake up and find himself still kneeling by the front door.This book tells the story of Mike's journey to Pakistan to say goodbye to his brother, who died in the Karakoram mountains in 1983 - his extraordinary bad and good luck on flight PA073 - the heroism of the flight attendants - and the long aftermath of one of the bloodiest terrrorist atrocities of the 1980s. After the leader of the gang was sentenced to 160 years in an American jail in 2004, Mike wrote a print book to tell the story up to that point. Since then the story has been retold in two documentaries - on Discovery and Sky - and in the Indian thriller "Neerja". Mike's part in the Sky documentary has finally given him the answer to a question that has puzzled him for thirty-five years: "Why didn't they shoot me?" The print book has been updated to complete the story, which comes full circle back to Mike's brother.

    Capital Beer - A Heady History...

    An effervescent history of beer brewing in the American capital city.Imagine the jubilation of thirsty citizens in 1796 when the Washington Brewery—the city’s first brewery—opened. Yet the English-style ales produced by the early breweries in the capital and in nearby Arlington and Alexandria sat heavy on the tongue in the oppressive Potomac summers. By the 1850s, an influx of German immigrants gave a frosty reprieve to their new home in the form of light but flavorful lagers. Brewer barons like Christian Heurich and Albert Carry dominated the taps of city saloons until production ground to a halt with the dry days of Prohibition. Only Heurich survived, and when the venerable institution closed in 1956, Washington, D.C., was without a brewery for fifty-five years. Author and beer scholar Garrett Peck taps this high-gravity history while introducing readers to the bold new brewers leading the capital’s recent craft beer revival.“Why’d it take us [DC’s brewing culture] so long to get back on the wagon? Capital Beer will answer all your questions in the endearing style of your history buff friend who you can’t take to museums (in a good way!).” —DCist“In brisk and lively prose Peck covers 240 years of local brewing history, from the earliest days of British ale makers through the influx of German lagermeisters and up to the present-day craft breweries. . . . Richly illustrated with photographs both old and new, as well as a colorful collection of her art, Capital Beer is almost as much fun to read as “sitting in an outdoor beer garden and supping suds with friends over a long, languid conversation.”” —The Hill Rag
