Perception Is Reality: Book #1 In The Perception Series by Fred Gibson (31 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Agent Tiki Gibbs, 25 year veteran of The Agency - a super-secret government group that specializes in finding people who do not wish to be found - receives a message in the form of a simple piece of paper in a windstorm. The note card only says, "I'm Searching For You." Agent Gibbs, as levelheaded and grounded as they come, looked upon the message warily. Maybe it was nothing more than simple human curiosity that got him to make that initial inquiry. Maybe it was the oddity that the message kept changing in his hands, sometimes adding a picture of an island paradise, other times adding ten simple digits - a phone number in Hawaii. But mostly it was the fact that only HE could see the message. No one else, not even his girlfriend, Christiana, could see anything other than a blank piece of paper. Making that phone call started Agent Gibbs off on the biggest manhunt of his career, a search that takes him across the country looking for 96 escapees of the Perception Is Reality ...

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 2 hours 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. I couldn't adapt to the new ways of doing things and finally pulled the plug after the 2014 inactivation ceremony. In my mind that seemed like the logical place to end it. I'm 56 years old now. The time I spent on the Big E was only 7-percent of my life. That's such a small chunk compared to the over thirty years now spent serving society as a dignified and productive family man. But that 7-percent sure was significant. It shaped me in a way everything ...

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 polished. We're no longer trying to shock our peers with legendary adventures of lust and misadventure. We're now sharing traveling tales with friends we'll always remember. It's become evident that we really did care about each other. We now understand how much everyone meant to us. I might even let my kids read this Volume. Well, maybe not. I forgot Australia was mentioned often in this book. Thank you again, shipmates, for all that you did/and still do for me. ...

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 were gleefully sending in raunchy recollections. It should be obvious to all that the site was no longer just for Big E squids. Rickover propulsion plant protégées from every ship in the nuclear fleet were there, adding to the mayhem. The Ike Bites contingent was probably the second most-dominant group. I probably should have added an Ike logo to the cover. Enjoy Volume 3! KP

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 the head with anything over 600 pages when your wives got tired of hearing you laugh and then hiding the book whenever they stormed into the room. Volume Two still focuses on the Big E, but also features tales from CGN, other CVN, SSN and SSBN nukes. We fondly recollect boot camp, A-School, Nuke School, prototype, and the everyday delights of life at sea. We also become somewhat introspective and share why we chose to become navy nukes.

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 it all. More than just sea stories, these are the tales of our youth, the recollections of life-long friends, and random memories of strange people and faraway places.

The Break (The Tory Fantasy Novels Book 2) by Sean Gabb (The Hampden Press) (10 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

This novel is a right-wing satirical fantasy set in the near future. Imagine: Our own modern England - a land of disarmed and moronised citizen-serfs, tyrannised over by a crumbling police state - has been lifted straight out of the present and dropped into the world of 1065. In mainland Great Britain and three hundred yards all about, it's business as usual. Or it's business as usual if you ignore the third of the population that has starved to death or been murdered by the authorities; and if you overlook endemic shortages, and trigger-happy police, and omnipresent propaganda. Oh, but this is the new business as usual - the business as usual arguably deserved by the sheeple who have survived. Outside this happy zone, it's 1065. Normans. Lords in their castles. The Catholic Church. Everyone is watching. Everyone is mindful of the vast new power dropped unaccountably where the land of King Edward had been. Though with weaker firepower, everyone is more intelligent and resourceful ...

Grant The Forgotten Hero by Charles Henry Vessey (67 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

"Castigated by some, immortalized by few and forgotten by most." Hardly a fitting tribute to one of America's greatest heroes. Grant The Forgotten Hero chronicles the story of Ulysses S. Grant during the American Civil War. Ask an American what they remember about Ulysses S. Grant and they will recall that he was a heavy drinker, not that he was the President, nor one of the world's greatest generals. An unusual legacy for the man most responsible for preserving this great nation. This book portrays Grant as an incredibly modest and humble man, perhaps the reason his true character failed to shine through. It tackles the old myths, head on, through logical analysis of the historical record and disproves most of the legend that has distorted his extraordinary military accomplishments. During the war, Grant captured three enemy armies intact and came within a whisker of capturing four, a feat unequalled in history and over so great a foe as Robert E. Lee. Ulysses S. Grant was one of ...
