Description
No-one in Bangkok suspects the sauve, 36-year old ex-pat Michael Davies to be the mastermind behind one of the most ruthless rackets of modern times. Handsome and loaded with money, the smooth-talking Brit has the usually unflappable young Thai beauty, Kantana Kamonrat’s head in a whirl. That is until a mutual acquaintance reveals some disturbing news about the self-assured, international art dealer. Kantana (Kat) hires Wongsala Suriya from the Extra Best Private Investigation Bureau to conduct a thorough enquiry into Davies’ life but in a curious twist of fate, this backfires on her and suddenly Kat’s life is in danger. Davies’ clandestine operations take readers on a fast-moving adventure from the sois and cyber cafes of steamy Bangkok to the bustling seaside resort of Pattaya and the sun-drenched shores of Australia’s picturesque Gold Coast where a young Aussie cop aims to cut his teeth on one of the country’s biggest crime busts of the decade.

Marvin Gray’s past has returned to haunt him. Fifteen years ago, he had a love affair with a beautiful Playboy centerfold, Maggie May Esquivel. Now, his only true love needs Marvin to rescue her from the notorious Salvadoran criminal gang MS-13, which has threatened the lives of Maggie May and their teenage son, Josh.

The case throws inexperienced private eye Gray onto a convoluted course he cannot understand. The quest leads him into the dangerous underworlds of Latin America and the US, where he uncovers a conspiracy to murder a US Embassy official in El Salvador.

Only by rescuing Maggie and Josh, can Marvin save himself.

The thriller Maggie May explores the subtle fractures between the heroic and the villainous.

Shadows and Pagodas


Shadows and Pagodas

Author : Fielding, Jack
ISBN : 9786162221224
Category : Humor
Pages : 378
Price: $4.99
Description
Peter Fielding steals a mysterious painting, hits the road and finds himself in the service of the outrageous Baron Parzifal. The biggest fraud this side of Cleopatran Paris? Greatest adventurer since Cortes? Royal bastard loon or failed vampire? No one really seems to know, least of all the Baron. But one thing is for sure – time is fast running out and he’s left with one last desperate throw of the dice to find the treasure that will save him. Chased by the Inquisition, Peter and the Baron undertake a series of extraordinary escapades that take them all the way from Europe to the other side of the world. There they discover that things aren’t always quite what they seem. Well, sort of. Shadows and Pagodas is a highly original and wickedly irreverent reworking of the Grail legend that combines Buddhist philosophy, medieval symbolism and good old rip-roaring adventure.

Category : Books on Philippines
Pages : 162

In Face of the New Peoples Army Frans Welman looks at the people behind the struggle for their rights. Often depicted as rebels, killers, criminals and the like they actually live in a semi feudal, a post colonial society where they are oppressed and exploited. The Government of the Philippines condones this exploitation of the poor and deploys its Army against its own people, cheap labor by millions of Philippinos, to force them to abide their corrupted policies. In the Samar in the Visayas archipelago uprisings have a long history. Since the neo-colonial attitude is still prevalent on Samar the people do not need much encouragement to literally fight for their rights as decent human beings. Ordinary farmers they did not need to be recruited for the New Peoples Army of the Philippines, people who are usually depicted as faceless or dead rebels . Having been there and knowing the faces of the ‘rebels’ with this book Frans Welman pays tribute to all those who have the courage to stand up for their right, in this case the people of the island Samar who are exemplary for all those all over the Philippines who are forced to live in bondage . These heroic people who fight for fundamental human rights are gentle, hospitable and most of all genuinely friendly.

Face of the New Peoples Army of the Philippines, Volume One

Author : Welman, Frans
ISBN : 9786162221620
Category : History
Pages : 181
Price: $4.99
Description
In Face of the New Peoples Army Frans Welman looks at the people behind the struggle for their rights. Often depicted as rebels, killers, criminals and the like they actually live in a semi feudal, a post colonial society where they are oppressed and exploited.
The Government of the Philippines condones this exploitation of the poor and deploys its Army against its own people, cheap labor by millions of Philippinos, to force them to abide their corrupted policies. In the Cordillera of Northern Luzon the uprising began when a hydro-electric dam project was going to be implemented in the Chico River which would inundate large tracts of Indigenous land.
Front man Macliing Dulag led the protest against what would have a devastating effect on his tribe: The Kalinga. Macliing Dulag was murdered in his home in the village of Bugnay by army officers which spurned even stronger protest and in turn led the Cordillera peoples to become part of the New Peoples Army of the Philippines. Having been there and knowing the faces of the ‘rebels’ with this book Frans Welman pays tribute to all those who have the courage to stand up for their right, in this case the Kalinga and Bontoc of the Cordillera and in Volume Two to the people of the island of Samar.
These heroic people who fight for fundamental human rights are gentle, hospitable and most of all genuinely friendly.
