By telling this story, I hope to introduce incidents that have occurred in my life, but hopefully, in random order, to make it more enjoyable. Please, if you would bear with me, I would like you, the reader, to continue with me to the end. It could just be worthwhile continuing to the last page. For your participation, I thank you.

The D.C. Connection

By: Liam Adair

Paul Blair a former Special Forces officer now a Civil Engineer was recruited by the International Court at The Hague and became the Director of the Criminal Apprehension Group of the UN. Apart from other tasks his main occupation is to bring to justice those who have had an international warrant issued for their apprehension and arrest by the Court at The Hague. To carry out any operation Blair has recruited a small very specialist team of former Special Forces. There are other operations his team will perform, especially the rescue of UN personnel who have been taken into custody by rebel forces in the country they have been sent to help. This is about two such operations in South America. The first is concluded without too much drama. It is the second one that turns out to be almost fatal for Blair and his team. The second operation in the same area of South America is a deliberate act to trap Blair and his team and hopefully wipe them out. They survive because of their skill and training, only to find out they have been sold out by rogue directors of the UN. Blair unravels this nest of vipers and brings them to justice. Again Blair and his dedicated team will hunt down these people responsible for not only taking UN volunteers hostage in South America, who have also been using the UN system to transport drugs and firearms around the world, he will have great pleasure in bringing their corrupt lives to a sudden halt. While engaged in these activities Paul Blair is also asked by the President of the US, to be his undercover agent outside the normal Law Enforcement agencies, to perform tasks of a sensitive nature that should not be made public. His first task is to track a prominent Washington Civil Servant, who has been systematically stealing military secrets from the Pentagon. It is the fact that this person is closely tied to the White House that is the problem. None the less Blair will bring him to justice without the knowledge of the other US law enforcement agencies.

The Rand Connection

By: Liam Adair

Jan De Boort is a vicious by-product of the Apartheid system of South Africa, who discovers diamonds by accident in a remote area of the Transvaal. In order to mine them, he must first destroy an entire village of locals. The mass murderer may have gotten away with it, except two villagers escape and live to tell the rest of the world. His actions come to the attention of the International Court of Justice, which places an international warrant of arrest for crimes against humanity against De Boort. Paul Blair from the United Nations is given the task of executing this warrant. But the criminal escapes to South America to live in anonymity. Feeling secure, he creates an illegal drug manufacturing plant to further his criminal empire. Once again, it is Blair, a former U.S. Special Forces officer and now a civil and mining engineer working for the U.N., who is asked to track De Boort. But his trail has gone cold in Africa. In his usual fashion, Blair tracks De Boort to South America, and the game is on.

The First Nations Incident

By: Liam Adair

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson and his small team are given two cold cases to solve that were found when building repairs were carried out of the RCMP Barracks in Calgary. It was evident from the start that the original investigation was unprofessional and left a lot to be desired, more so because one case covered the brutal murder of very young children who were twin boys. The other concerned the death of a First Nations chief and relative of DS Jimmy Two Bears, one of Bensons team. There was a lot of political influence brought to bear before the chief was murdered, which muddied the waters somewhat. In the end, Steve was beginning to believe that he would get into retirement knowing he was unable to solve this particular case. It was not a pleasant thought.

New Directions

By: Liam Adair

During the last operation for the UN, Alex Craven sustains a career ending injury. He does know how to tell Paul Blair of his decision to retire. As usual, Blair makes it easier for him by broaching the subject first. When John Gannon also decides to retire at the same time, then Blair must make a decision about his own future. These three have been a force to be reckoned with for very a long time, and Paul Blair tries to find a way to keep this small group intact. Blair has already talked to and accepted a post to be a special undercover agent outside normal law enforcement agencies and departments for the president. He would be the presidents ace in the hole. One way to keep this trio together would be to convince Craven and Gannon to join him and be undercover agents for the American president. Having agreed to join Blair in this adventure, their first task is to track and arrest two rogue DEA agents, in which the system seems to be incapable of doing. It is while doing this that Blair uncovers the fact that a multibillionaire with a god complex, one Vernon R. Foster, has decided to destroy first the presidency and then the government of the USA, and set himself up as the supreme leader of the United States of America. His reasons for doing this are to right the wrongs of the South, who lost in the Civil War. By his efforts in catching Foster, Blair unlocks a vast fortune in money and also a huge stack of small arms enough to reequip most of the nations police forces. Unfortunately, it is the motivation for Blair to retire gracefully from the field of conflict.

Blood Under the Maple Leaf

By: Liam Adair

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson, a veteran of the RCMP CID division, after putting in his usual solid performance on two major crimes, the second of which almost costs him his career. He is brought before the chief commissioner to account for the high cost of tracking a fugitive into the frozen northern wilds of Canada. After a somewhat protracted run-in with the chief commissioner over the costs, Benson stands his ground and thinks to hell with it. At this point he is ready to give it all away and seriously look at retirement. But due to that hostile conversation with the CC, not only is he not stood down, he is promoted to detective chief superintendent. He goes on to solve a longstanding cold case involving the murder of eight women. Following from that, he is given a new department to head up with the task of solving serial killings and high-profile murders wherever they occur in Canada. He brings along with him his two longstanding friends and colleagues, Sergeant Al Philips and Special Constable Jimmy Two Bears, a native Canadian.

The Ruble Connection

By: Liam Adair

One of the USSRs main aims in the past was to cause disablement in the democratic countries of the Middle East, such as Lebanon, and in Africa, in Angola. Their main aim was to cause massive destruction of law and order and therefore make it easier for a Communist state to be born. If enough countries could be moulded in this fashion, then Russia would not need to fight a war. If they supplied enough arms to the people, the local populous would do it for them. This was the situation that the court at the Hague wanted Paul Blair and his team to investigate. The court already knew about two Arabs from Syria and a Russian from Bulgaria who were involved, running the biggest illegal arms supply in the world. But how to stop them was the question. Paul Blair, again acting under a warrant issued by the international court, will chase these lowlife criminals across Africa and the Middle East before eventually rounding them up and transporting them to the International Court at The Hague. Paul Blair and his team with their usual dedication to the task at hand will eventually bring this evil trio to stand before a jury of their peers and be served with the justice they so richly deserve, for the thousands of lives they have destroyed in pursuit of vast sums of money and the political aims of Russia and world domination.

Landscapes of Encounter

The Portrayal of Catholicism in the Novels of Brian Moore

By: Liam Gearon

Brian Moore (1921 1999) is one of the few novelists whose literary portrayal of Catholicism effectively spans the period prior to and following the Second Vatican Council. Many critics have discussed how Moore's life is reflected in his works, while others have dismissed his fictions as simple narratives in the mould of classical realism. In this timely book, Gearon contends that Moore's fictions are far more complex, as he was one of the great observers of Catholicism in all its modern and historical controversy. .

The Fix

How Bankers Lied, Cheated and Colluded to Rig the World's Most Important Number

By: Liam Vaughan,Gavin Finch

The first thing you think is where's the edge, where can I make a bit more money, how can I push, push the boundaries. But the point is, you are greedy, you want every little bit of money that you can possibly get because, like I say, that is how you are judged, that is your performance metric" —Tom Hayes, 2013 In the midst of the financial crisis, Tom Hayes and his network of traders and brokers from Wall Street's leading firms set to work engineering the biggest financial conspiracy ever seen. As the rest of the world burned, they came together on secret chat rooms and late night phone calls to hatch an audacious plan to rig Libor, the 'world's most important number' and the basis for $350 trillion of securities from mortgages to loans to derivatives. Without the persistence of a rag-tag team of investigators from the U.S., they would have got away with it.... The Fix by award-winning Bloomberg journalists Liam Vaughan and Gavin Finch, is the inside story of the Libor scandal, told through the journey of the man at the centre of it: a young, scruffy, socially awkward misfit from England whose genius for math and obsessive personality made him a trading phenomenon, but ultimately paved the way for his own downfall. Based on hundreds of interviews, and unprecedented access to the traders and brokers involved, and the investigators who caught up with them, The Fix provides a rare look into the dark heart of global finance at the start of the 21st Century.

The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names of Ireland

By: Kay Muhr,Liam Ó hAisibéil

The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names of Ireland contains more than 3,800 entries covering the majority of family names that are established and current in Ireland, both in the Republic and in Northern Ireland. It establishes reliable and accurate explanations of historical origins (including etymologies) and provides variant spellings for each name as well as its geographical distribution, and, where relevant, genealogical and bibliographical notes for family names that have more than 100 bearers in the 1911 census of Ireland. Of particular value are the lists of early bearers of family names, extracted from sources ranging from the medieval period to the nineteenth century, providing for the first time, the evidence on which many surname explanations are based, as well as interesting personal names, locations and often occupations of potential family forbears. This unique Dictionary will be of the greatest interest not only to those interested in Irish history, students of the Irish language, genealogists, and geneticists, but also to the general public, both in Ireland and in the Irish diaspora in North America, Australia, and elsewhere.

Many Identities, One Nation

The Revolution and Its Legacy in the Mid-Atlantic

By: Liam Riordan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Many Identities, One Nation

The Revolution and Its Legacy in the Mid-Atlantic

By: Liam Riordan

The richly diverse population of the mid-Atlantic region distinguished it from the homogeneity of Puritan New England and the stark differences of the plantation South that still dominate our understanding of early America. In Many Identities, One Nation, Liam Riordan explores how the American Revolution politicized religious, racial, and ethnic identities among the diverse inhabitants of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. Attending to individual experiences through a close comparative analysis, Riordan explains the transformation from British subjects to U.S. citizens in a region that included Quakers, African Americans, and Pennsylvania Germans. In the face of a gradually emerging sense of nationalism, varied forms of personal and group identities took on heightened public significance in the Revolutionary Delaware Valley. While Quakers in Burlington, New Jersey, remained suspect after the war because of their pacifism, newly freed slaves in New Castle, Delaware, demanded full inclusion, and bilingual Pennsylvania Germans in Easton, Pennsylvania, successfully struggled to create a central place for themselves in the new nation. By placing the public contest over the proper expression of group distinctiveness in the context of local life, Riordan offers a new understanding of how cultural identity structured the early Jacksonian society of the 1820s as a culmination of the American Revolution in this region. This compelling story brings to life the popular culture of the Revolutionary Delaware Valley through analysis of wide-ranging evidence, from architecture, folk art, clothing, and music to personal papers, newspapers, and local church, tax, and census records. The study's multilayered local perspective allows us to see how the Revolutionary upheaval of the colonial status quo penetrated everyday life and stimulated new understandings of the importance of cultural diversity in the Revolutionary nation.

The Inequality of Wealth

Why it Matters and How to Fix it

By: Liam Byrne

The super-rich have never had it so good. But millions of us can't afford a home, an education or a pension. And unless we change course soon, the future will be even worse. Much worse. But things don't have to be like this. In this bold new book, former Treasury Minister Liam Byrne explains why wealth inequality has grown so fast in recent years; warns how it threatens our society, economy and politics; shows where economics has got it wrong – and lays out a path back to common sense, with five practical ways to rebuild an old ideal: the wealth-owning democracy. Liam Byrne draws on conversations and debates with former prime ministers, presidents and policymakers around the world, together with experts at the OECD, World Bank and IMF, to argue that after twenty years of statistics and slogans it's time for solutions that aren't just radical but plausible and achievable as well. The future won't be a land of milk and honey but it could be a place where we live longer, happier, healthier and wealthier lives.

The Curse of the Bambino or How the Sox Finally End It

By: Liam

It has been said that the Red Sox are part of the patrimony of the New England; generation after generation has inherited a fidelity to the cause of the men of Fenway, known throughout New England as The Sox. The Red Sox are as much a part of that historic corner of the American nation as the mountains, lakes, and shoreline that so graphically characterize it. The focal point of this devotion is Fenway Park, the small, old, oddly shaped home field of the Red Sox since April 20, 1912. Built for a game that feeds off its own history, that follows a seamless course through the years, Fenway is an ideal place to watch baseball, where one can sit comfortably with the shadows of George Herman Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, Carlton Fisk, Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens and all other titans who have passed this way. Every Red Sox fan is a shareholder in that history, possesses an anchorage in that past, and holds a ticket in the future. Through their long and unpredictable history the Red Sox have been many things: triumphant, exciting, and gallant, as well as frustrating and disappointing. Through all personnel changes that baseball teams must necessarily undergo, they have never failed to exude a certain charm that is rare in any athletic endeavor. These are the qualities of the Boston Red Sox, one of the ongoing enchantments of New England.

The Rubble Connection

The Evil of Gun-Running and the Loss of Life Worldwide

By: Liam Adair

The Rubble Connection is a thrilling tale of international intrigue, gunrunning, and political upheaval set during the Cold War era. One of the main objectives of the former Soviet Union was to foster the spread of communism throughout Africa and the Middle East. But rather than accomplishing this through direct military action, the Soviets instead chose to funnel arms to insurgent rebel groups, in order to destabilize democratic governments throughout the two regions. However, when agents working for the Soviets assemble what amounts to one of the biggest arms smuggling operations in the world, their activities attract the attention of the International Court in The Hague. After identifying two Syrian Arabs and a Russian Bulgarian operative who are believed to be at the center of the operation, the court dispatches Paul Blair, a former U.S. Special Forces officer, to investigate. Blair and his team quickly find themselves in the middle of a dangerous scenario involving arms smuggling, dictators, tribal warlords and criminal efforts to destabilize the governments of sovereign nations.The Rubble Connection follows the exploits of Blair and his team as they call upon all of their resources to complete the mission, by capturing this trio of Soviet-backed arms smugglers and bringing them to justice. About the Author: Liam Adair is an Irish-born author who currently resides in Victoria, Australia. Since retiring from his former career, Adair has dedicated himself completely to writing; having previously authored The Sterling Connection and The Rand Connection, both of which were also centered around the Paul Blair character. The Rubble Connection is Liam's third novel. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/LiamAdai

The Sterling Connection

By: Liam Adair

When a boy, Paul Blair, from New York is granted a scholarship to an exclusive boarding school in England, he has no inkling of the future contribution he will make to humanity. He is befriended by another boarder, a Knight of the Realm. Even though they are from two different ends of the social spectrum, their friendship takes them into adulthood. Blair became a member of the US Special Forces and worked with the UN. His friend Sir Charles Spencer had taken to a life of crime. He used his construction company and position in society as a front to build a criminal empire and multibillion dollar fortune. The struggle between these two will take them from England to Africa, the Middle East, and the USA. Spencer decided the quickest way to make money was to plunder third-world countries of their mineral wealth. It is Blair who brings him to stand before the International Court of Justice in the Hague to answer for those crimes. The outcome will be tragic for one of them.

Evil in Command

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson, following on from his many successes solving serious crime cases, now has his former nemesis. The assistant chief commissioner, dancing through hoops, is willing to do whatever Steve requires to bring to justice a senior police officer in their midst who is, in fact, a serial killer. Steve and his small team of police officers, also, have the task of uncovering a web of corruption inside the Canadian Security Services. This case came to the harsh light of day when a senior security officer, Joe Denison, attempted on several occasions to have Steve and his team eliminated by using sharpshooters. Fortunately, to date, this concerted attack has not been successful. As part of the ongoing investigation, Steve uncovers a corrupt sitting senator, Senator Harris. Now the team has the full support of the AC and the CC. Everyone will have to tread carefully so they dont bring down the sitting government.
