A thirty-foot yacht, adrift well out to sea, sends, "MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Please respond to our plea!" Hearing this call for help, the United States Coast Guard leaps into action. A team of four highly trained rescue specialists head out in an H-60 Jayhawk helicopter. Battling fierce conditions, the Coast Guard team finally locates the disabled boat, rescues the crew, treats injured passengers, and carries them back to safety. Complemented by dramatic, striking illustrations, Chris L. Demarest's text brings into vivid focus one of the many important jobs performed by the U.S. Coast Guard. A detailed author's note provides additional information about the search-and-rescue process, making this a terrific book for any school or home library.

The flight crew is crippled or dead. Now, defying both nature and man, three survivors must achieve the impossible. Land the plane. From master storyteller Nelson DeMille and master pilot Thomas Block comes Maydaythe classic bestseller that packs a supersonic shock at every turn of the page . . . the most terrifyingly realistic air disaster thriller ever. Like a growing tidal wave, the escaping air was gathering momentum. A teenaged girl in aisle 18, seat D, near the port-side aisle, her seat dislocated by the original impact, suddenly found herself gripping her seat track on the floor, her overturned seat still strapped to her body. The seatbelt failed and the seat shot down the aisle. She lost her grip and was dragged after it. Her eyes were filled with horror as she dug her nails into the carpet, as the racing air pulled her toward the yawning hole that led outside. Her cries were unheard by even those passengers who sat barely inches away from her struggle. The noise of the escaping air was so loud that it was no longer decipherable as sound, but seemed instead a solid thing pounding at the people in their seats . . .

The 44th Protocol This book is concerned with the efforts of a British male spy working together with a Russian female spy to resolve the big mystery surrounding Protocol 44 in the Argentinian Special Branch. They found that the reason the Argentinians were so secretive was because they made a revolutionary discovery based on a plant in the Aconcagua forest. This plant acquired through a mutation the property of anti-gravity and made it float in air. Utilising this plant the Argentinians built a very powerful aircraft which they used to attack the Falkland Islands. But the British Secret Service and Members of the Government already knew about the Argentinian plans because the British spy discovered the secret plans before the assault on the Falklands. This is a book for the elite reader who enjoys spy fiction and Science fiction at its best. Published by ABC Publications London First published 2013 For comments [email protected]
