There was some excitement recently at the offices of Transworld, publisher of the British thriller writer Lee Child, who has so successful conquered America with his Jack Reacher adventures. Child usually produces only one novel featuring his tough ex-army action hero each year, but the latest book, 61 Hours, will be followed up with a speedily issued second new Reacher-related novel this autumn. 61 Hours -- admirers will, of course, have to have both. Sales of such Child novels as Gone Tomorrow have exceed 74,000 copies – and he continues his upwards ascent, singularly unimpeded. But the new book has Jack Reacher in the most extreme danger of his career. South Dakota is shivering under an icy winter, and the roads are particularly...

Hitting shelves just before Lee Child`s wildly anticipated new hardcover, comes the mass market paperback of the #1 Reacher thriller that`s leaving everyone breathless. Child ratchets up the tension minute by minute, leading up to the most talked-about cliff-hanger in suspense today.
When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women`s Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies - but the kidnappers aren`t demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting...
Being trained by the Assassin`s Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit Teppic for the task assigned to him by fate. He inherited the throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi rather earlier than he expected (his father wasn`t too happy about it either), but that was only the beginning of his "Pyramids" (the book of going forth) is the seventh Discworld novel - and the most outrageously funny to date.

Following “70’s Magazine Advertisement in Japan”, released in March 2007, this is a collection of the magazine advertisements created in the next decade, which is the time that the Japanese economy was growing rapidly towards its peak. People were enjoying their lives believing that the growing economy was going to continue forever. Reflected from the cheerful and a little frantic atmosphere of the time, magazine advertisements created in the 80s were “glittering” and “dreamy” according to a well-known columnist who contributed to this book.
