In England a hotel worker has been turned to stone, an ancient lake has vanished, and the inmate of a mental hospital is being terrorised by unseen creatures. In Israel, in the shadow of Masada, an archaeological dig unearths something that should have stayed buried. The Doctor is sure he is dealing with a local and relatively straightforward temporal anomaly. Troy Game, a refugee from the planet Caresh, is not so certain. She believes the impending destruction of her home world is somehow linked to the events on Earth, and she is pinning her hopes on the Doctor to avert the catastrophe. But can the Doctor interfere with a planet's destiny? And should he risk his new-found freedom to do it?

The master manipulation carried out by Victor using mostly Stefan’s sourced funds is now almost over as the goal has been reached and the mega payday is in place. The Japanese Yen has tanked and crashed carrying along an entire proud nation and all its denizens and companies alike. The might of Japan is no more! Greed and deception have now replaced sheer genius of what the deal of the Century was! Please read Book One of The Crash of the Rising Sun before reading Book 2 to get a thorough comprehension of how the events took place and what transpired and led to: Book 2 of The Crash of the Rising Sun! The Revenge! The Crash of the Rising Sun is based on actual events that took place in 1989 in Japan. The Crash that resulted from the major economic crisis of that spring is still today, attributed to a real estate meltdown. But nobody ever dwelt further on the real cause or causes of the crisis. While suggested by actual events this story is in its entirety a work of fiction. All character names have been invented. All characters have been composited or invented and all incidents have been fictionalized. The story that follows is loosely based on Historical facts. But, whereas some of the events that take place are real, the characters, names and causes are purely fictional and as such just a figment of my imagination. If any person, entity, or others feel that what is written resembles them and what happened to them, then it is purely coincidental and I, for one, beg for forgiveness as my intentions were never to harm anybody or disclose any secrets, trade secrets or others! I hope that the reader will have as much pleasure as me in reading this novel as I had while writing it!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years. What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . . Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth. A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.

David Cronenberg's Crash (1996) brought down a storm of controversy and opprobrium when it was first screened in London. And yet it's a cool, controlled, formal film, unsensational, more analytic than titillating, a brilliant exposé of modern pathologies. It has almost none of the violence and explicit sexual content of the J.G. Ballard novel from which it is adapted. What is the relationship between Ballard himself and the character 'James Ballard' in Crash? In this book, which includes an exclusive and revealing interview with Ballard, Sinclair explores the uncanny temporal loop which connects film and novel. If Cronenberg's 'adapted' Crash, he also absorbed it, ingested it, made it into something new. But, on the other hand, the novel controls the film, or uses the film to disguise its truly subversive intent. And, for Sinclair, there are more startling permutations still. To what extent, for example, is Crash a premonition of some of the more remarkable media events of recent times?

When Marty Kayo agrees to deliver $4 million in cash to the Contras, he doesn't suspect that rogue FBI and CIA agents plan to kill him for the money. A volatile mix of arms and drugs is about to combust in a quaint Honduran village with a tortuous Indian name no one seems able to spell'a town steeped in exotic betrayal, extortion and sorcery'as freelance operatives Bruce Leighton and Mira Urbaniak race to Central America. Will they arrive in time to save Marty? Assassins are en route'the only ones who know the courier's identity! CRASH DUMMIES pokes fun at spy, romance and sci-fi-fantasy genres while exposing our national obsessions with secrecy, seduction and sex. Subtly evocative of Cervantes' opus, it's a head-on collision of 'Mission Impossible' and 'The Impossible Dream' as this parable of cultural narcissism careens to its close, like a nation tilting at windmills.

This expanded and updated third edition continues to be an essential reference volume in regards to the principles and techniques of traffic crash investigation. One of the most important phases of any investigation into a traffic crash is that which is conducted at the scene. The traffic crash investigator must be aware of his or her responsibilities and know how to properly fulfill them from the time of being advised of a crash to the time the report is completed based on the on-scene investigation. This manual sets out in detail the requisites for a properly conducted crash investigation by delineating the types of evidence to look for and how to recognize, interpret, gather, and record evidence such as skid marks, yaw marks, roadway and vehicle marks and damages, and environmental, human, and mechanical factors. Only by understanding the principles presented in the text will the objectives of a traffic crash investigation be met: what happened, where the crash occurred, why the crash occurred, and who was involved. The manual covers in both written and illustrative form those situations that confront the investigator conducting a technical crash investigation. An important introduction to scientific speed analysis based on thorough at-scene investigation is provided. Mathematical equations and examples are completed in both the United States or Imperial and metric (S.I.) measurement systems. The book is generously illustrated and substantial appendices provide helpful mathematical tables. This invaluable resource will meet the needs of law enforcement officers, insurance adjusters and investigators, private investigators, lawyers, judges, legal investigators, and instructors and students involved in cadet or advanced traffic crash investigation programs. This new edition will be appreciated by all those charged with the responsibility for investigating traffic crashes, interpreting data, and presenting evidence based on sound analysis.
