In 1912, Tony Jannus, a handsome 22 year-old pilot attempts to set a record for the longest flight over water, following the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Even though he suffers from an acute appendicitis, he doggedly continues the record-breaking flight. Along the way to New Orleans, he meets attractive young women who fall in love with him and further complicate his life. Later, he becomes chief pilot of the first scheduled airline, operating between Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida. The airline only operates during the tourist season and is highly successful. When the airline closes, Tony and his brother spend the summer flying exhibitions and passengers at Cedar Point on Lake Erie to raise money for an airplane manufacturing plant they intend to open in Baltimore. They build a quality airplane, but their business venture fails because they cannot compete with major airplane manufacturers such as the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss. When they close the plant, Tony goes to work for Glenn Curtiss who sends him to Sevastopol, Russia to train the Czar's naval pilots how to fly seaplanes before the United States enters World War I. While training pilots for the Russian Navy, he is drawn into combat against German submarines, which are sinking Russian warships in the Black Sea. War tests his courage and changes his happy-go-lucky outlook on life. He returns to the United States and finds the woman he wants to marry, but the romance is stormy and they break off the relationship. He goes back to Russia to train pilots in a more advanced airplane. He is despondent in Russia until his former sweetheart writes him and says she loves him. They set a date to marry. Important aviation milestones in this historical novel actually happened. The author has embellished personal relationships and events.

By: Patrick Q. Mason

What is Mormonism? A Student’s Introduction is an easy-to-read and informative overview of the religion founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. This short and lively book covers Mormonism’s history, core beliefs, rituals, and devotional practices, as well as the impact on the daily lives of its followers. The book focuses on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Salt Lake City-based church that is the largest and best-known expression of Mormonism, whilst also exploring lesser known churches that claim descent from Smith’s original revelations. Designed for undergraduate religious studies and history students, What is Mormonism? provides a reliable and easily digestible introduction to a steadily growing religion that continues to befuddle even learned observers of American religion and culture.

By: Patrick Allitt

Catholic Converts

British and American Intellectuals Turn to Rome

By: Patrick Allitt

From the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century, an impressive group of English speaking intellectuals converted to Catholicism. Outspoken and gifted, they intended to show the fallacies of religious skeptics and place Catholicism, once again, at the center of western intellectual life. The lives of individual converts—such as John Henry Newman, G. K. Chesterton, Thomas Merton, and Dorothy Day—have been well documented, but Patrick Allitt has written the first account of converts' collective impact on Catholic intellectual life. His book is also the first to characterize the distinctive style of Catholicism they helped to create and the first to investigate the extensive contacts among Catholic convert writers in the United States and Britain. Allitt explains how, despite the Church's dogmatic style and hierarchical structure, converts working in the areas of history, science, literature, and philosophy maintained that Catholicism was intellectually liberating. British and American converts followed each other's progress closely, visiting each other and sending work back and forth across the Atlantic. The outcome of their labors was not what the converts had hoped. Although they influenced the Catholic Church for three or four generations, they were unable to restore it to the central place in Western intellectual life that it had enjoyed before the Reformation.

Trident's Forge

By: Patrick S. Tomlinson

When humankind’s first contact with a strange alien species goes awry, detective and Ark hero Brian Benson is left to pick up the pieces Against all odds, the Ark and her thirty-thousand survivors have reached Tau Ceti G to begin the long, arduous task of rebuilding human civilization. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Tau Ceti G’s natives, the G’tel, are coming to grips with the sudden appearance of what many believe are their long-lost Gods. But first contact between humans and G’tel goes catastrophically wrong, visiting death on both sides. Rumors swirl that the massacre was no accident. The Ark’s greatest hero, Bryan Benson, takes on the mystery. Partnered with native ‘truth-digger’ Kexx, and against both of their better judgment, Benson is thrust into the heart of an alien culture with no idea how to tell who wants to worship him from who wants him dead. Together, Benson and Kexx will have to find enough common ground and trust to uncover a plot that threatens to plunge both of their peoples into an apocalyptic war that neither side can afford to fight.

Conspiracy?

By: John Michael Patrick

In 1993 St. Louis, John Peterson and Tammy Wilburn were celebrating John's new computer career and the start of a new life together until fate dealt them a new hand. In a spin of fate and circumstance the young couple is propelled through time to 1963 and provided an opportunity to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Weaving a carefully crafted plan, John is prepared to kill Lee Harvey Oswald in the Texas School Book Depository to prevent the President's assassination. But is there a second gun man? The reputed shooter behind the grassy knoll? Perhaps, John and Tammy reason, it is better not to rewrite history. Perhaps the opportunity before them is to prove the President's assassination was the result of a conspiracy. Armed with a video camera they seek evidence that Oswald did not act alone and then find themselves once again the victims of fate, and now the target of a nationwide manhunt. Captured, arrested and held responsible for the murder of the President, the Attorney General seeks Supreme Court approval to assert the death penalty. While there is strong evidence of guilt, there is compelling evidence that shows it impossible for John and Tammy to have had anything to do with the crime of the century.

Medieval Studies and the Ghost Stories of M. R. James

By: Patrick J. Murphy

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Medieval Studies and the Ghost Stories of M. R. James

By: Patrick J. Murphy

Montague Rhodes James authored some of the most highly regarded ghost stories of all time—classics such as “Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad” that have been adapted many times over for radio and television and have never gone out of print. But while James is best known as a fiction writer and storyteller, he was also a provost of King’s College, Cambridge, and Eton College, and a legendary and influential scholar whose pioneering work in the study of biblical texts and medieval manuscripts, art, and architecture is still relevant today. In Medieval Studies and the Ghost Stories of M. R. James, Patrick J. Murphy argues that these twin careers are inextricably linked. James’s research not only informed his fiction but also reflected his anxieties about the nature of academic life and explored the delicate divide between professional, university men and erratic hobbyists or antiquaries. Murphy shows how detailed attention to the scholarly inspirations behind James’s fiction provides considerable insight into a formative moment in medieval studies, as well as into James’s methods as a master stylist of understated horror. During his life, James often claimed that his stories were mere entertainments—pleasing distractions from a life largely defined by academic discipline and restraint—and readers over the years have been content to take him at his word. This intriguing volume, however, convincingly proves otherwise.

Groundrush

And Other Stories

By: Patrick Gough

From the subsistence farms of nineteen fifties Ireland to the hedonistic life of Left Bank Paris, from the bleak beauty of the West of Ireland to Pragues post communist rudderless freedom, from life on swinging Sohos unforgiving streets to the excitement of the stag hunt in County Meath, from the life and death struggle of the skyscraper construction workers of New York City to the longings of a lovelorn Dublin office worker, from the Sisters of Mercy slave labour laundries to the virginity clinics of Morocco, Patrick Gough takes you on geographical and emotional rollercoaster. The stories trace a mans life, from childhood to middle age, in an explosive mixture of joys and frustration, fear and longing, in a rhapsody of colour and emotion. As in the story Painting with Light, life is telescoped through a sharp focused lens, zooming in on the pain and pleasure of living.

Very Bad People

The Inside Story of the Fight Against the World’s Network of Corruption

By: Patrick Alley

PATRICK ALLEY'S NEW BOOK TERRIBLE HUMANS IS AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW. ***** 'Reads like a John le Carré novel but is, in fact, very real.' - The Big Issue 'Very Bad People would be a hugely enjoyable thriller if it wasn't all true.' - Isabella Tree, author of Wilding 'Global Witness are fearless.' - Gordon Roddick, Campaigner and Co-Founder of the Body Shop 'Part true crime tale, part investigative procedural, this is the account of the brilliant and necessary superheroes of Global Witness, whose superpower is the truth.' - Edward Zwick, Director of Blood Diamond 'Very Bad People reads like a non-stop high-speed chase as our fighters against corruption hunt down a litany of criminals and con-men, some on the fringes of our society, some embedded high up within it. It's a great story and an important one.' - David Farr, Screenwriter, The Night Manager 'The story told in this book of three youthful idealists who go from eating cold baked beans in a drafty London flat to the Thai-Cambodian border where they posed as traders in illegally felled timber is simply riveting. Don't miss it.' - Misha Glenny, author of McMafia 'Alley has produced a clear-eyed account of a world poisoned by dark money, and a welcome reminder that resistance is possible. As it turns out, his book is even more timely than he could have hoped.' - Irish Times 'This book is inspirational. It shows how young people with sufficient passion and intelligence have the capacity to go after some of the most powerful governments and corporations and shame, humiliate and just push governments to support important reforms that can make this a more decent world.' - Frank Vogl, Co-Founder of Transparency International Arms trafficking, offshore accounts and luxury property deals. Super-yachts, private jets and super-car collections. Blood diamonds, suspect oil deals, deforestation and murder. This is the world of Global Witness, the award-winning organisation dedicated to rooting out worldwide corruption. And this is co-founder Patrick Alley's revealing inside track on a breath-taking catalogue of modern super-crimes - and the 'shadow network' that enables them. VERY BAD PEOPLE is about following the money, going undercover in the world's most dangerous places, and bringing down the people behind the crimes. Case by case we see maverick investigators pitched against warlords, grifters and super-villains who bear every resemblance to The Night Manager's Richard Roper. One dictator's son spent $700 million in just four years on his luxury lifestyle. As they unravel crooked deals of labyrinthine complexity, the team encounter well-known corporations whose operations are no less criminal than the Mafia. This network of lawyers, bankers and real estate agents help park dirty money in London, New York, or in offshore accounts, safe from prying eyes. Patrick Alley's book is a brilliant, authoritative and fearless investigation into the darkest workings of our world - and an inspiration to all of us who want to fight back.

Classic Catholic Converts

By: Charles Patrick Connor

Classic Catholic Converts presents the compelling stories of over 25 well-known converts to Catholicism from the 19th and 20th centuries. It tells of powerful testimonials to God's grace, men and women from all walks of life in Europe and America whose search for the fullness of truth led them to the Catholic Church. It is the witness of brilliant intellectuals, social workers, scientists, authors, film producers, clergy, businessmen, artists and others who, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, studied and prayed their way into the Church. Fr. Charles Connor writes insightful and wonderfully readable stories of a rich variety of converts who struggled greatly with many challenges as they embraced Catholicism, including rejection by loved ones, persecution from strangers, and misunderstanding by peers. But, once they responded to God's call, they experienced great inner peace, contentment and joy. Among the famous converts whose stories are told here include John Henry Newman, Edith Stein, Jacques Maritain, Dorothy Day, G.K. Chesterton, Elizabeth Seton, Karl Stern, Ronald Knox and many more.

Modern Print Artefacts

Textual Materiality and Literary Value in British Print Culture, 1890-1930s

By: Patrick Collier

This study focuses on the close connections between literary value and the materiality of popular print artefacts in Britain from 1890-1930. The book demonstrates that the materiality of print objects-paper quality, typography, spatial layout, use of illustrations, etc.-became uniquely visible and significant in these years, as a result of a widely perceived crisis in literary valuation. In a set of case studies, it analyses the relations between literary value, meaning, and textual materiality in print artefacts such as newspapers, magazines, and book genres-artefacts that gave form to both literary works and the journalistic content (critical essays, book reviews, celebrity profiles, and advertising) through which conflicting conceptions of literature took shape. In the process, it corrects two available misperceptions about reading in the period: that books were the default mode of reading, and that experimental modernism was the sole literary aesthetic that could usefully represent modern life.
