Sailor: a fictional period piece set in the early seventies. A humorous journey into the dark world of sex, drugs and violence centered around a mystery romance. It's often said that sailors have a woman in every port and a hustle for each day of the week. Some would say that it's just an old cliche, but one sailor actually lived the life. As with all things, "nothings for nothing" there's always a price to pay and some price tags are steeper than others. It wasn't the job, but his pursuit of fast money and beautiful women would lead him to the doorstep of death, and at the hour of dust before dawn the last grain of sand was about to fall.

BART

The Dramatic History of the Bay Area Rapid Transit System

By: Michael C. Healy

An insider’s “indispensible” behind-the-scenes history of the transit system of San Francisco and surrounding counties (Houston Chronicle). In the first-ever history book about BART, longtime agency spokesman Michael C. Healy gives an insider’s account of the rapid transit system’s inception, hard-won approval, construction, and operations, warts and all. With a master storyteller’s wit and sharp attention to detail, Healy recreates the politically fraught venture to bring a new kind of public transit to the West Coast. What emerges is a sense of the individuals who made (and make) BART happen. From tales of staying up until 3:00 a.m. with BART pioneers Bill Stokes and Jack Everson to hear the election results for the rapid transit vote to stories of weathering scandals, strikes, and growing pains, this look behind the scenes of an iconic, seemingly monolithic structure reveals people at their most human—and determined to change the status quo. “The Metro. The T. The Tube. The world's most famous subway systems are known by simple monikers, and San Francisco's BART belongs in that class. Michael C. Healy delivers a tour-de-force telling of its roots, hard-fought approval, and challenging construction that will delight fans of American urban history.”—Doug Most, author of The Race Underground: Boston, New York, and the Incredible Rivalry That Built America's First Subway
