        The King of West Brooklyn

        by David Alexander

        The King of West Brooklyn is a crime novel that begins and ends on the mean streets of Gravesend, the toughest neighborhood of New York City's toughest borough and the heart of notorious West Brooklyn. It's a place where organized crime still rules and where wise guys have to think fast, hit hard or get whacked. In between, the novel crosses international boundaries and time zones with the speed of sound as West Brooklyn's most accomplished safe and loft burglar takes on a European job in order to pay back the markers held on him by boss of bosses Tony Pug. This is a caper novel to end all caper novels, a non-stop page-turner from start to finish, and one of Author David Aleander's boldest books ever. Authors don't come any better than David Alexander, and his tough-as-nails global thriller The King of West Brooklyn represents his taking the fine art of mayhem to an exciting new level of accomplishment. The depth of insight into the world of the Mafia, black intelligence ops, tomb raiding tombaroli, historical arcana, exotic military technologies and the inner mainsprings of political intrigue -- to name but a few of this book's points of focus -- seems at times close to envisaging actual events.

        Threatcon Delta

        Assault on the Pentagon

        by David Alexander

        Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon tells the story of how terrorism, treason and global organized crime converge to place the most potent symbol of American military power under the control of a determined and ruthless group of heavily armed and extremely dangerous men who can’t be stopped, yet who must be stopped. This global superthriller is based both on author David Alexander’s extensive and detailed research into the history of the Pentagon, combined with first-hand knowledge of the Pentagon's most closely held secrets by this veteran defense insider, all of which has been artfully woven into a masterpiece of high-concept suspense fiction. In fact, the combined impact of accuracy and authenticity blended with superb storytelling may find some readers asking themselves if perhaps some parts of the story shouldn't have been made public, for fear that terrorists or global criminals might some day use it as a basis for an actual plan of attack. Yet the assault on the Pentagon portrayed in the book is no standard terrorist martyrdom mission either. Those who’ve taken over the headquarters of the United States military have an exit strategy that has been brilliantly devised to shuttle them to safety and provide for the enjoyment of their ill-gotten profits -- a scam on a global scale that promises to net the Building’s hijackers a considerable fortune. By any standard, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon is action thriller fiction at its boldest and best. It’s one of the achievements that have earned David Alexander a secure place at the top of the list of the world’s masters of the game.

        Brothers of the Gun

        by David Alexander

        In his novel Brothers of the Gun, David Alexander has redefined the technothriller. What is more, he has succeeded in writing a novel that is not only a fast-moving adventure tale that stands on its own merits, but which has unearthed the story of an incredible array of pre-20th century military technology that has, in its totality, never before seen publication in fiction or nonfiction. The way he tells the story, these weapons might well give anything in today's 21st century arsenals a run for the money. But as incredible as these early superweapons appear, Brothers of the Gun is no mere fact-binge but a thrill-packed novel in all respects. Here too, the story succeeds brilliantly, with some of the gutsiest characters, some of the best spun action scenes and some of the most unexpected twists and turns of a great plot that have ever appeared in print. The Brothers are a group of former soldiers of fortune who have banded together to stage an almost impossible mission into the Sudanese stronghold of the 19th Century's version of bin Laden, a warrior chieftain called the Mahdi. The Mahdi has stolen the prize possession of the Sultan of Zanzibar, who, with the blessing of the British and American governments, and the personal intervention of the age's best-known soldier-adventurer, Charles George "Chinese" Gordon, has contracted one of the era's most notorious freebooters, Snakeskin Blake, to lead the mission. Blake assembles a team of hand-picked covert special operators, armed with a unique array of weapons, and skilled in unconventional tactics, to stage the dangerous and daring rescue into the heart of a desert warlord's territory. These are the Brothers of the Gun, comprising a collection of fighting skills and special weapons and tactics that make their small group a match for the army confronting them. Yet once the mission is accomplished it becomes obvious that the team has only scratched the surface. The entire region is gripped by war fever and has erupted into violence. The Brothers of the Gun are then tasked with a new and far more dangerous mission, one from which it's likely that none of them will ever return alive, leading to a conclusion as powerful as it is boldly and originally conceived.

        Trainjack

        by David Alexander

        An NYPD detective is recruited as a rail marshall by a brother cop on the police force of Paris, France, and gets caught up in the crime of the century. Trainjack is raw-edged excitement ... David Alexander takes the railway thriller to places that it has never gone before. SUPERCRIME MEETS SUPERTRAIN. Trainjack barrels along at a breakneck pace. The faster this high-speed thriller goes, the better it gets. SUPERCRIME MEETS SUPERTRAIN. Written with daring verve and accomplished skill, plotted with the deft touch of a master prose stylist, packed with surprises at practically every turn, Trainjack is an exceptional technothriller from one of the top authors in the field. SUPERCRIME MEETS SUPERTRAIN. Danger and high intrigue make a train connection with espionage, treachery and passion. Alexander has created characters so original they seem to jump right off Trainjack's excitement-packed pages. TRAINJACK PREVIEW EDITION, PART I. This is the first part of a special preview of Trainjack in two parts. Read Trainjack by David Alexander.   All aboard for a journey into danger by a master of suspense. The Gare de l'Est was dark. The time was 12:32 A.M. Liveried EuroStar porters rolled on motorized carts across the platform. Lights played strangely in the darkness as the EuroStar Express stood motionless on the track. The easternmost of Paris's four gares, or railway terminals, was located off the Place de Austerlitz, a name that was itself synonymous with a journey to the east in which French military forces, under Napoleon, clashed with the first of what was destined to be a long line of adversaries. The EuroStar Express would be traveling east and south. Bucentaur was the product of an Anglo-French-German consortium headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. The consortium had been set up by the respective governments to develop a trans-European express that would be ready not only for high-speed land routes but also for new tunnels beneath the oceans that would link the continents. The patents on the train's design features were intended to set the standards in train design for the next century at least. In the bar car, New York City police detective Van Keel, clad in a white tux and smoking a Sobranie Black Russian filtertip, put the final flourishes to an instrumental version of "Stormy Monday Blues," the original Billy Ekstine version that had been much imitated but, in Keel's opinion, never surpassed. Striking a flurry of minor seventh chords, Keel ended with a glissando of triplets in d-minor that lingered in the air for a moment before the final notes died away. Keel had been playing for almost an hour, beginning his set with Noel Coward's "I'll See You Again," and working his way through the Gershwins' "Nice Work if You Can Get It," then segueing into "An Ace in the Hole," the old thirties dance hall favorite that Keel, by syncopating the rhythm on the downbeat, transformed into something that sounded like a rock tune. Keel caught the trainmaster's eye. Bucentaur's departure was imminent... Trainjack, a global technothriller by author David Alexander.

        Hungry Generations

        A Novel

        by Daniel C. Melnick

        At the center of “Hungry Generations” is the great European piano virtuoso Alexander Petrov, one of the émigré geniuses who lived in the incredible community of gifted Europeans in Los Angeles during the Second World War. Fleeing from Nazi Germany, the legendary classical pianist – like Schoenberg, Stravinsky, the Werfels, and the Manns – settled in L.A. and attempted to raise a family there on the edge of the Pacific. In September of 1972, Jack Weinstein – a young composer and a distant relation of Petrov – is newly arrived in L.A., living near Venice beach and seeking a job in the movie studios. Jack develops a friendship with the émigré virtuoso, who is nearing seventy and struggling to maintain his psychic and physical health in the midst of intense conflicts with his wife and his adult children. The renowned pianist tells the young man stories of his life from the thirties to the present, and soon Jack is absorbed into the family life of the Petrovs. Jack becomes a catalyst for confrontations among the Petrovs, as he intrudes on the family’s delicate balances. He falls in love with the pianist’s daughter, Sarah, who becomes Jack’s troubled muse, and in one climax, the father erupts in jealousy and desperation, assaulting his daughter’s lover. The son Joseph Petrov is a gifted, cynical, intense pianist himself, who also befriends Jack; resentments – new and old – build between son and father, and these too erupt in destruction and self-destructiveness. Also, Joseph is gay, and after a surreal New Year’s Eve party at the Polo Lounge, he makes a pass at drunk, dismayed Jack. Then there is Petrov’s wife, Helen, and her confession to Jack is one of the final assaults on the young composer. The remarkable expatriates living in Los Angeles during World War II figure both in Petrov’s stories and in Jack’s inner struggle to resurrect himself in the face of his experience of the Petrovs, of music, of sex, of the movie studios, of L.A. itself. During the year 1972-73, Jack composes a piano sonata infused with his love of Petrov’s famed recording of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata as well as the music of Stravinsky and Schoenberg – those composers even begin to enter Jack’s dreams, simultaneously blessing and critiquing him as he works in his Venice apartment. Hungry Generations paints a vivid portrait of the conflicts and struggles which erupt in L.A.’s singular expatriate community. At the center of the novel is finally the confrontation between émigré parents who survived the Holocaust at the peculiar remove of Los Angeles and their grown children. Each “hungry generations” reveals its yearning for meaning, love, and transcendence.

        Gallipoli - 100 Years

        A Comprehensive Study and Guide to Visiting

        by Michael Mathews

        The only contemporary ‘one stop shop’ to Gallipoli and the campaign, with much of the content distilled by the author from walking the battlefields over many years. This is a measured sequential guide to visiting all the battlefield sites: when to visit; how to get there; being there, and where to stay. Included in this book are: biographies of the commanders (British, Australian, New Zealand, French and Turkish); events leading to the campaign; preparations; the plan; Turkish defenses; the landings and all the major military and naval actions at all three theatres of operation (Anzac, Helles and Suvla); dedicated chapters on submarine and aircraft actions; Turkish and Allied order of battle; VC recipients; all cemeteries and their details. There are eight walks or challenges and two one day tours (one never covered) to the site of General Hamilton’s HQ during most of the campaign on Gökçeada Island (Imbros). Forty eight full colour and ten sepia high gloss pages of photographs; detailed diagrams; and low level aerial and satellite images make it easy to better understand key battlefield locations, the campaign and Gallipoli (both then and now). There is a comprehensive index, timeline and useful Turkish words and numbers.
