      "Jon Reznick has never played by the rules, a trait that has brought him into conflict with FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein in the past. But now Meyerstein has been taken by a shadowy gang, and the renegade black-ops specialist may be her only hope for rescue.The FBI are reluctant to let Reznick anywhere near the case, but he's not in the habit of seeking their permission--especially once his covert investigation leads him straight to the head of the Russian Mob. And it soon becomes clear that it's not only Meyerstein who's in danger: her abduction is just the start of a campaign to undermine American law and order.With Meyerstein's whereabouts just out of reach, and the CIA and FBI seemingly operating at cross-purposes, it falls to Reznick to go it alone. Can he get to Meyerstein before the Mob get to him?"--Page 4 of cover.

I also worked for twelve years on nuclear submarines and other warships, as a marine engineer for the Ministry of Defence in Plymouth. As well as this I ran two retail business’s for seven years, along with several other jobs. I have travelled the world for work and for fun.

Hopefully it will be one of many, I am working on the next as I write this introduction.

      "When a former military operative Charles Burns dies in a car wreck in Miami, police and the FBI believe it is just a tragic accident. But when Reznick learns that his teetotal friend was apparently drunk at the wheel, he begins a one-man investigation into the incident. It isn't long for a succession of ex-Special Forces operatives die in mysterious circumstances. As he himself becomes a target, it becomes clear that the death of Burns is part of a much bigger plot by a vengeful foreign government, one that threatens to wipe out not only Reznick, but also hundreds of innocent American lives"--Amazon.com.

      As a result of the budgetary crises facing many European economies, the third edition of European Business is published at a time of turbulence in the European Business environment. The resulting uncertainty has put at risk those features which have made Europe unique – the market and policy integration which has shaped the strategy of businesses with a European presence during the preceding decades. This new edition assesses the importance of the key features of integration for business and how individual member states affect the integration process and bring diversity to European business. In recognition of the ever increasing interdependence of Europe with the rest of the world, this new edition of European Businessalso puts greater emphasis on the links between Europe and the world’s other main regions. The text has been fully updated to take account of the fast moving changes affecting the discipline and contains a range of pedagogical features to help students make sense of what can seem a confusing and complex environment. In addition to the numerous case studies, the features include clear objectives, discussion questions, activities, boxed supporting information and extensive up-to-date reading.
