  Jim is a former Australian Commando Intelligence Operative that had once lost his way. He now works in Brisbane as an authour, speaker and fitness consultant. 
  His autobiography "Underworld Commando" leaps out of a 1980s Kings Cross world of crime, corrupt police, commandos and some of the most notorious, infamous mob identities in Australian crime history. 
  Jim gives the true-crime account of his double life as a Special Forces soldier and moonlight enforcer for the mob's Lennie 'Mr Big' McPherson and 'Salami' Kon Kontorinakis. At the Sydney Hilton in 1991 the "good times" come to a sudden stop with a fierce gunfight against 3 corrupt police sergeants of the Infamous NSW Armed holdup Squad. The Hilton gunfight brought NSW Police corruption to a halt and launched the Wood Royal Commission into Police Corruption and cascading Pandora's Box of evils. 
  Jim draws on his skills to traverse the decades beyond the gunfight, escape, courts and robberies, prison, informers, fights, a fake murder trial, the Wood Royal Commission, reform, shot after his release, repatriation, resilience and determination to start over again and again. 
  Having survived all, he now fights against a global 'Order of Evil' intent on depopulating the Earth and genetically downgrading the human race into forced slavery. 
  This time, he's on the right side.

  This book charts the story of Scotland's hero-king from his boyhood, through his days of indecision as Scotland suffered under the English yoke, to his assumption of the crown exactly six months after the death of William Wallace. Here is the astonishing blow by blow account of how, against fearful odds, Bruce led the Scots to win their greatest ever victory. Bannockburn was not the end of the story. The war against English oppression lasted another 14 years. Bruce lived just long enough to see his dreams of an independent Scotland come to fruition in 1328 with the signing of the Treaty of Edinburgh.
  67 places to visit in Scotland and elsewhere
  One general map, three location maps and a map of Bruce-connected sites in Ireland
  ~Bannockburn battle plan
  Drawings and reproductions of rarely seen illustrations
  The trail leads us to Bruce sites in Scotland, many of the little known and forgotten battle sites in northern England, and as far afield as the Bruce monuments in Andalusia and Jerusalem. On the Trail of Robert the Bruce is not all blood and gore. It brings out the love and laughter, pain and passion of one of the great eras of Scottish history.

  What would you do if you were stranded in the coldest place on Earth as the world you knew back home changed forever? 
   
  David Knoff had embarked on the adventure of a lifetime as station leader of Davis research station in Antarctica when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. After their ride home was cancelled indefinitely, what was supposed to be a routine mission became a high-pressure cauldron of uncertainty and anxiety that pushed David’s team of 24 expeditioners to their mental limits. 
   
  Facing unprecedented challenges, including a complex medical evacuation and a fire on board the ship meant to get them out, David would need every ounce of resilience he’d gained as an infantry platoon commander and diplomat to keep the team safe and get them home. 
   
  537 Days of Winter is a high-octane, sub-zero story unlike any other in modern Antarctic history.

  Imagine you are a former mob boss who used to make money disappear. What would your best advice be for doing legit business with no consequences? 
  By age 24, charming mob boss Michael Franzese was one of the wealthiest people on Fortune magazine’s survey. As one of the rare people who quit the mob and lived to tell about it, Franzese has a unique perspective on how business is done. 
  One thing he noticed is that inside the mob business, there are ways to make millions per week. If you apply these same principles outside of organized crime, then people will believe in your product or service more than ever before. 
  In I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse, Franzese shares key mafia rules that are applicable to business today such as:Mob Rule # 4: Be an Early Riser and Avoid Getting Killed in Your PajamasMob Rule # 5: Ya Gotta Have a CrewMob Rule # 7: Cook the Pasta, Not the Books 
  Franzesse uses an interesting dichotomy of Machiavelli, the patron saint of Organized Crime and King Solomon, the wisest king ever appointed by the Almighty, to highlight universal principles of business. 
  I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse is essential reading for burgeoning entrepreneurs, business people and anyone interested in leadership.
