The Brothers: O Earth O Sea Cover Not Thou Their Blood by Robert Derry (3 Reviews)    Price verified 50 minutes ago

"When I entered the city, I entered it with an undaunted spirit, determined that no labour should make me shrink, no danger nor even persecution deter me from my pursuit." Thomas Clarkson was the 'moral steam engine' behind the abolitionist movement of the late eighteenth century, without whom The Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade would have been bereft of its champion. The Brothers tells the story of the early years of their struggle and the tale of a slave ship, The Brothers, as it departs from the port of ...

Steaming Volume Five: King Paul's Big, Nasty, Unofficial Book of Reactor and Engineering Memories (The King Paul Series 5) by Ram Tuli (21 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

When you're done reading Volume 5, you'll have seen 75-percent of the KP Site. It's kind of sad to realize that the end is so near. But that sadness is miniscule compared with the sorrow of knowing our beloved ship is rusting away in Hampton Roads, semi-abandoned in political/fiscal limbo. She deserves better than that. Thankfully, these archived sea stories and memories will keep her alive forever.If I were an independent observer reading the Steaming books, I'd have a pretty good idea of what life was like in the nuclear navy of ...

Steaming Volume Seven: King Paul's Big, Nasty, Unofficial Book of Reactor and Engineering Memories (The King Paul Series 7) by Ram Tuli (25 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

When I began these Steaming books in January of 2018, I had no idea it would take two years and 4,280 pages to summarize everything on the old KP Site. I guess I collected quite a few stories in those 13 years. In this final edition of Steaming you'll witness the KP Site slowly fade into oblivion. It would become dormant twice when I tried to pawn off my editorial duties to the KP Facebook page. That didn't work. Everyone wanted the old site back up, even if it was rarely updated. So, I tried again. Technology, however, was unkind. ...

Steaming Volume Four: King Paul's Big, Nasty, Unofficial Book of Reactor and Engineering Memories (The King Paul Series 4) by Ram Tuli (28 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

In many ways, it's like I'm reading these stories for the first time. I had forgotten so many. My memory seems a bit shabbier today than it did in 2004. Thank God we wrote these tales down then, when most of us had only been out of the Navy for 15 - 20 years. Had we waited until today, 30+ years, everything would've been lost to the ages. This volume contains stories sent in between March 30, 2004 and March 3, 2005. I must admit, Volumes 3 and 4 are much better than Volumes 1 & 2. The hard edges are being sandpapered down and ...

Wow! You're on your third book! Hopefully, you're watch supervisor qualified by now, or at least making an earnest effort to get a qual card blazed off. Head back down the plant, gents. We've got more maritime memories to relive. The good news is this next volume is better than the previous two. That's a real no shitter! This book contains letters received between June 26, 2003 and March 29, 2004. The KP Site was the most popular navy nuke site on the internet by then. Thousands of ex-nukes and engineers were lurking, and many ...

Steaming Volume Two: King Paul's Big, Nasty, Unofficial Book of Reactor and Engineering Memories (The King Paul Series) (Volume 2) by Ram Tuli (23 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

Wow, you're like STAR babies. You're not quite sure what you've gotten yourself into but decided to "re-up" for more. This next edition of Steaming includes activity on the KP Site between Nov 21, 2002 and June 26, 2003. This period has some of my favorite stories. It also contains the most controversial tales in the collection. This second "deployment" has a slightly different flavor than the previous one. I didn't plan it that way. I just ended Volume One before it got too big. I figured you guys didn't want to get whacked over ...

Steaming Volume One: King Paul's Big, Nasty Unofficial Book of Reactor and Engineering Memories (The King Paul Series 1) by Ram Tuli (56 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

Gather 'round, my fellow tars and pour yourself a drink (preferably a San Miguel). What you're about to read is the largest collection of sea stories ever gathered in one place. Best of all, these stories come from fellow USS Enterprise nukes and engineers. No one can deny that the Big E was the greatest warship ever built, and that the guys who gave her her steam were the best nukes and engineers in the fleet. We were also pretty darn funny. In fact, our sense of humor was legendary. It was the one thing that helped get us through ...

Steaming Volume Six: King Paul's Big, Nasty, Unofficial Book of Reactor and Engineering Memories (The King Paul Series 6) by Ram Tuli (21 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

Alas, the Steaming series is coming to an end. This will be the second to last volume. This edition contains letters from 6/27/06 to 6/1/08. As you can see, the frequency of correspondence is now starting to greatly diminish. I didn't know it then but the KP Site was starting to take on water. Technology was rapidly advancing and it was leaving me behind. Hell, I was still editing my webpages the old-fashioned way, using a 1999 version of Microsoft Frontpage. This dog was too old to learn new tricks and it was starting to show. I ...
