Bigboys Games - Volume III of The Bigboys Series Impressed by the way Prentice dealt with Gerald Furniss. Lord Stigwell sets Prentice on, as he bids to shake-up Standish Holdings with the new millennium approaching. But what he's really looking for is a ‘hatchet-man’. The shake-up Stigwell has in mind is radical and calls for a whole new approach. Prentice soon cottons-on and moves to build a few angles of his own, as things go awry and Stigwell’s manoeuvring throws a few curvers at him. But he’s not about to back down in the face of City hucksters who come calling, as they sense a killing and the Standish Holdings Empire teeters on the brink of meltdown. But who will come out on top; the Golden Horseshoe mob from the City’s Square Mile, Simon Horburg the crooked boss of the Horburg Merchant Bank, Neil Caesar an Aussie Huckster with his Klondyke Lager and his Touring Rugby Team, the Eastend Tankard Mob who move in on the revamped airport takeover or Jesse Mallory, a Golden Girl from the Valleys who comes looking for her missing sister

The first book in the Angelique De Xavier series, from multi-award-winning author Chris Brookmyre. We all make life choices. Some cause more mayhem than others. Back when they were students, just like everybody else, Ray Ash and Simon Darcourt had dreams about what they'd do when they grew up. In both their cases, it was to be rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast, and just like everybody else, they're having to accept the less glamorous hands reality has dealt them. Nervous new father Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody has to find their own way of coping. For some it's affairs, for others it's the bottle, and for Simon it's serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.

An engrossing origin story for the personal computer—showing how the Apple II’s software helped a machine transcend from hobbyists’ plaything to essential home appliance. Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no further than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the brilliant engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry. The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn’t found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple’s founders, or the way it set the stage for the company’s multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. Not to hack, but to play. Not to code, but to calculate. Not to program, but to print. The story of personal computing in the United States is not about the evolution of hackers—it’s about the rise of everyday users. Recounting a constellation of software creation stories, Nooney offers a new understanding of how the hobbyists’ microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know today. From iconic software products like VisiCalc and The Print Shop to historic games like Mystery House and Snooper Troops to long-forgotten disk-cracking utilities, The Apple II Age offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu—and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.
