During the So-Cal Mod revival of the mid-1980s, one teen's simple quest to buy a Vespa is about to turn into an absolute nightmare. It's 1985, and to say Tommy Daniels is Mod-obsessed is no understatement: buying a scooter is the ultimate goal of his young life. When he hits the road on his search, it will be the strangest, most shocking three days imaginable, and he'll encounter a host of colorful characters, including a jerk cop and the Mod girl of his dreams, but nothing's going to stand in his way. His is a story of wanting something so badly, you'll put everything on the line to get it. Along the way, each chapter introduces a soundtrack song from Tommy's Mod mixtape. Also included, "It's a Way of Life," an essay about the Mod revival in 1980s Southern California by Bart Mendoza, lead singer of the band Manual Scan, noted music journalist, and a prime player in the San Diego Mod scene. This prose novel includes a color image section featuring some prime Mod moments in California from the 1980s, as well as acclaimed artist Ralph Cosentino's cover for Dr. Harvey's Victor the Vespa, the fictional book written by a character in the story!

At a time when the world is facing the depletion of nonrenewable natural resources, consumer society is increasingly being called into question. Nowhere is this more evident than in France, where the consumer revolution has long been perceived as a challenge to artisanal crafts, local business, and other key elements of French culture. David H. Walker here charts the portrayal of consumer behavior in the works of Gide, Zola, Jean Valmy-Basse, and Elsa Triolet and analyzes these testimonies in relation to their social, cultural and historical milieu. Consumer Chronicles offers an imaginative look at the impact of affluence on French consumers, shopkeepers, and society and provides valuable insight into the history of the consumer mentality in the twentieth century.

All four books in James Quinn's 'The Redaction Chronicles', a series of cold war espionage novels, now in one volume! A Game For Assassins: It's the early 1960's - the height of the Cold War - and agents of the British Intelligence are being targeted by an unknown team of assassins. In desperation, the agency sends in their best agent to hunt down the killers. Jack "Gorilla" Grant isn't your typical secret agent. Uncompromising and rough-edged, he doesn't fit in with the elitist and debonair intelligence agents. Soon, Jack is drawn into a deadly game where nothing is as it seems, and even the perfect spy can die in a wilderness of mirrors. Sentinel Five: The Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service has been assassinated, and the British government brought to its knees by a terrorist organization intent on unleashing a weapon of apocalyptic proportions. In desperation, a deniable team is assembled to hunt down the terrorists. Called back from obscurity to lead them is Jack “Gorilla” Grant, a freelancer with a Smith & Wesson’ 39 and cut-throat razor, who is ready to even the score in his own brutal fashion. But in game where power players, traitors and terrorists work hand in hand, the most serious threats sometimes come from within. The Sentinel Five team turns their gunsights to the East, to Asia, and enter a killing ground of death. Rogue Wolves: He is known as The Master. Spy, double agent, freelance assassin. He has been at the top of his game for the past thirty years, and worked for Nazis, Communists, Intelligence agencies and terrorists alike. No one knows his true identity, and the intelligence networks of several countries want him captured, interrogated and “Redacted”. Jack “Gorilla” Grant, now a contract agent for the French Secret Service, is assigned the job of tracking the Master down. Hot on his heels is an equally deadly and beautiful CIA bounty hunter, who is more than capable of hunting down both assassins. From France to the heartland of America and finally to a death island off the coast of Mexico, Rogue Wolves takes the anti-hero Gorilla Grant into the deepest heart of espionage darkness. Berlin Reload: When Jack “Gorilla” Grant's daughter is kidnapped in Rome, it is just the opening gambit in a series of events that pushes him back into the “Redaction” business that he once walked away from. Unseen forces are moving against Gorilla and dangerous enemies from his past are threatening his future, intent on turning a cold war into a hot war. But Gorilla has one rule; don’t mess with my family. And he’s willing to kill to enforce it. From the dangerous streets of 1960’s Berlin to a hit contract in Austria, and finally to a race against time in East Germany, Berlin Reload is an epic cold war spy story that spans the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, and throws James Quinn’s anti-hero Gorilla Grant into a mission where he may have to decide between the life of his daughter and the dawning of a new conflict between East and West.

Somewhat autobiographical, The Moe Chronicles presents with hilarious and terrifying accuracy, the extraordinary pathos of Erik Moe's generation: the couch-ridden, microbrew-swilling, Love Boat-watching masses. At last, here is a book that speaks to the unemployed--and unwillingly employed--youth of today, as well as to anyone who has gone for 237 days without a date or launched an ill-conceived plan to form a rock band. 140 illustrations.

Wildfire Chronicles is the acclaimed horror/science fiction series from K.R. Griffiths. This compilation collects volumes 1 to 4 in one bargain package. *** Panic (Volume 1) Michael Evans is only in rural St. Davids to maintain a low profile after his time spent as a city cop ended in disaster. The town is perfect for him: isolated. A tiny population. Virtually no crime. Until the night the strange canisters fall from the sky and the town priest starts killing people with his teeth. To Michael, the bloodbath looks like a murder case that the quiet town's two police officers can't possibly handle. But this isn't just a crime scene. And the priest is just the beginning... Shock (Volume 2) The team had been told it would be a straightforward mission: enter St. Davids, now little more than a ghost town, retrieve the target and return to base. Trouble is, the target is a man named Victor, and it looks like somebody else got to him first. And St. Davids is anything but a ghost town... Psychosis (Volume 3) Michael Evans, crippled survivor of the massacre at St. Davids, has only one goal left: to find his young daughter. And that means journeying north and discovering that during the five days he spent comatose in an underground bunker the world has changed dramatically. And worse, it's still changing. Struggling to come to terms with a world steeped in shocking violence and ever-present danger, Michael must adapt quickly to a new reality: the virus has already infected the population. But it isn't stopping there... Mutation (Volume 4) The only thing the survivors of the catastrophe in South Wales wanted was a safe place to ride out the apocalypse. The castle looked perfect: high walls and natural defenses that even the infection could not breach. The problem was that someone had beaten them to it. Someone who would stop at nothing to maintain control. Someone with a dark secret that could change everything... *** Tags: Zombie apocalypse, Zombies, Horror, Post-apocalyptic, Action, Dystopian, Series, Science Fiction, Thriller, Suspense, Wildfire Chronicles
