In a distant future, humanity has abandoned a poisoned and dying Earth and now resides among the stars. The fate of their former home rests in the hands of CORE (Central Organization of Rejuvenating Earth), while time travel is strictly controlled by The Corporation and their team of Time Escorts. These skilled escorts accompany civilians on journeys to the past, ensuring that nothing is altered. But when Time Escort Michal is fired for saving a young girl from death in the past, he becomes determined to prove that changing the course of history for good is the right thing to do. Though his time-traveling watch is confiscated, Michal manages to secure another one and embarks on a series of vigilante missions to help those in need. Meanwhile, fellow Escorts Jacob and Noah are pulled from their own assignments and given a new mission: stop Michal at all costs. They are told that if he succeeds in altering the past, it will have disastrous consequences for their present reality. However, there is more at play than meets the eye, and Michal's watch holds the key to a deeper agenda. Not only does it allow him to travel through time, but it also has the power to transport him to the future. As Michal takes a bold risk by attempting to change the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in hopes of preventing World War One, Jacob and Noah race against time to stop him. But unbeknownst to them, a shadowy government plots to rise and reclaim control over Earth as they know it.

The girls wanted to survive and live a fantasy that most women think of but never try. The forbidden frolic and the long walk to Satan's door and back again. This is about escorts who knocked upon that door and entered to lose their very souls to the money they made. There were those men and women that seemed to have the keys to Satan's many rooms. While other women made the journey that their various preachers told them they should never think about, and with soul still intact fell back into religion to preach the evils of the sin to which they had been exposed. Almost all of these women broke the cardinal rule of having sex without the piece of paper binding them to one man and only one man. The Harlots of San Francisco was who they were. For me they were my Professional Escorts. They were all part of the new Barbary Coast, the new public bounty of flesh for money trade abounding all through the last twenty years of the Twentieth Century.

In the fall of 2012, quirky and cat-loving Cleveland librarian Jill Grunenwald got an alarming email from her younger sister: her sister was very concerned with Jill’s weight and her overall mental and physical health. Having always struggled with her weight, Jill was currently hitting the scales at more than three hundred pounds. Right then, Jill looked in the mirror and decided that she needed to make a life-style change, pronto. She enrolled in Weight Watchers and did something else that she—the girl who avoided gym class like the plague in high school—never thought she’d do; Jill started running. And believe it or not, it wasn’t that bad. Actually, it was kind of fun. Three months later, Jill did the previously unthinkable and ran her very first 5k at the Cleveland Metropolitan Zoo. Battling the infamous hills of the course, Jill conquered her fears and finished—but in dead last. Yep, the police were reopening the streets behind her. But Jill didn’t let that get her down—because when you run for your health and happiness, your only real competition is yourself. Six years and more than one hundred pounds lost later, Jill is still running and racing regularly, and she is a proud member of the back of the pack in every race that she has entered. In this newly updated edition Running with a Police Escort, Jill chronicles her racing adventures, proving that being a slow runner takes just as much guts and heart as being an Olympic champion. At turns heartbreaking and hilarious, Running with a Police Escort is for every runner who has never won a race but still loves the sport.

An essential new account of how anti-submarine warfare is conducted, with a focus on both historic and present-day operations. This new book shows how until 1944 U-boats operated as submersible torpedo craft which relied heavily on the surface for movement and charging their batteries. This pattern was repeated in WWII until Allied anti-submarine countermeasures had forced the Germans to modify their existing U-boats with the schnorkel. Countermeasures along also pushed the development of high-speed U-boats capable of continuously submerged operations. This study shows how these improved submarines became benchmark of the post-war Russian submarine challenge. Royal Navy doctrine was developed by professional anti-submarine officers, and based on the well-tried combination of defensive and offensive anti-submarine measures that had stood the press of time since 1917, notwithstanding considerable technological change. This consistent and holistic view of anti-submarine warfare has not been understood by most of the subsequent historians of these anti-submarine campaigns, and this book provides an essential and new insight into how Cold War, and indeed modern, anti-submarine warfare is conducted.
