The time is 1964. The place is the Cabinet Room of the Where House. An unexpected accident and the law of succession have just made Douglass Dilman the first black President of the United States.This is the theme of what was surely one of the most provocative novels of the 1960s. It takes the reader into the storm center of the presidency, where Dilman, until now an almost unknown senator, must bear the weight of three burdens: his office, his race, and his private life.From beginning to end, The Man is a novel of swift and tremendous drama, as President Dilman attempts to uphold his oath in the face of international crises, domestic dissension, violence, scandal, and ferocious hostility. Push comes to shove in a breathtaking climax, played out in the full glare of publicity, when the...

Description
Roger Merton, a young naval lieutenant from the volunteer reserves, is on a balloon reconnaissance mission with an officer when their balloon loses its moorings and drifts into the fog.

Still uncertain as to who inhabits it, he begins to suspect there may be treachery afoot. But where could German spies be hiding on such a barren island?

Description
Lawrence Blakeley has traveled to Pittsburgh to collect the deposition of rich industrialist John Gilmore, chief witness for the prosecution in a forgery trial, while his legal partner Richey McKnight visits his fiancee at her home in Richmond. What should have been a standard legal procedure to help secure a conviction in their favor becomes instead the beginning of great misfortune for Blakeley.
After being forced to sleep in a vacant bunk upon finding a drunk occupying his paid-for one, Blakeley wakes up to discover that all his belongings are missing. The search for the stolen evidence is further complicated when a lifeless body is discovered, and Blakeley—the murder weapon mysteriously appearing in his possession—becomes the main...

After her father’s death, young Anne Beddingfeld moves to London with her meagre inheritance, hopeful and ready to meet adventure. She witnesses a fatal accident at a Tube station and picks up a cryptic note dropped by the anonymous doctor who appeared on the scene.

**"An instant classic of Americana --a story of tragedy, invention, lore, science, and a most original kind of genius." --Hampton Sides** **"Masterful. This is what man versus nature is all about." --Skip Hollandsworth** ***The Man Who Caught the Storm*** **is the saga of the greatest tornado chaser who ever lived: a tale of obsession and daring, and an extraordinary account of humanity's high-stakes race to understand nature's fiercest phenomenon.** At the turn of the twenty-first century, the tornado was one of the last true mysteries of the modern world. It was a monster that ravaged the American heartland a thousand times each year, yet science's every effort to divine its inner workings had ended in failure. Researchers all but gave up, until the arrival of an outsider. In a...

Dr. John Pollard discovers that he can speed up human evolution with a shower of cosmic rays. Naturally, you wouldn't think that he'd be as daft as to try it out on himself first, but that's exactly what he does do and in short order he morphs his way from man to superman to giant brain. Each point along the way he declares himself to have greater and greater intelligence, though he seems unable to notice that being a brain the size of an Austin Mini would put a crimp in his social life. In the end, he evolves not into some sort of being of pure energy, put a small pool of pink protoplasm because evolution, for no adequately explained reason, goes in a circle, which only goes to...
