Pleasures and Follies is an engaging romp from adolescent sexual awakening into full grown adult lust on the part of one Cupidonnet and his half sister, Genovefette, along with a few of their playmates, friends, acquaintances, parents and Genovefette's eventual spouse. There is very little in the realm of physical intimacy that one or the other of these siblings did not experience, or at least witness. Other than attempt to remove obvious errors in the cyberscript, Renaissance E Books has done very little editing. To attempt to correct the spelling and/or punctuation would destroy much of the pleasure of reading the book, for the author uses to good affect coined words and unusual sentence structure. To remove the distinctly British words and expressions would be to destroy the flavor of the work. We do apologize for several passages that by today's standards are "politically incorrect," and hope the reader will understand the mindset of the time in which the book was composed. Views: 30
MR JUDAS — master spy for hire by anyone, this time by Red China; a man of incredible cruelty and savagery, torturing people at whim, killing them for sport.
NICK CARTER — America's top operative, the dreaded agent N3; tougher, faster, deadlier than any man, except perhaps Mr. Judas, his oldest enemy.
The prize they fought for was the free world and the fate of millions of lives. Their arena of violence — Indonesia, torn apart by savage rebellions and war.
Judas was depending on his usual ugly crew: Nife, the man child who killed on command… Geitsch, who cared only for the huge bounty the job would bring… Muller, the ex-Nazi, whose preference ran to young boys. Nick Carter had Tala, the exotic Indonesian assigned to help N3. Tala — too beautiful to resist and too dangerous to trust! Views: 30

Clive Cussler's dazzling new Dirk Pitt(r) adventure. Nobody has been able to match Cussler yet for the intricate plotting and sheer audacity of his work, and *Black Wind* sets the bar even higher. In the waning days of World War II, the Japanese tried a last desperate measure-a different kind of kamikaze mission, this one carried out by two submarines bound for the West Coast of the United States, their cargo a revolutionary new strain of biological virus. Neither sub made it to the designated target. But that does not mean they were lost. Someone knows about the subs and what they bore, knows too where they might be, and has an extraordinary plan in store for the prize inside-a scheme that could reshape the world as we know it. All that stands in the way are three people: a marine biologist named Summer, a marine engineer named Dirk, and their father, Dirk Pitt, the new head of NUMA. Pitt has faced devastating enemies before, and has even teamed up with his children to track them down. But never has he looked upon the face of pure evil . . . until now. Filled with dazzling suspense and breathtaking action, *Black Wind* is Cussler at the height of his storytelling powers. Views: 30
