Описание:
World War II has finally ended, but not for Jonathan Preston--the US Army's most successful covert operative--a new mission is just beginning. The US Navy and Preston and his team of intelligence agents race against time to stop two rogue Japanese submarines from attacking the east coast of the US with biological weapons capable of inflicting unimaginable casualties.
While the US Navy frantically attempts to find and destroy the submarines, Jonathan Preston and his team of counterintelligence agents rush to track down Japanese agents positioned to take possession of the biological agent when the subs arrive off the US east coast. Preston's WWII nemesis, Japanese intelligence agent Asami Nakada, however, has other plans as she evades US operatives and moves to attack Washington DC, and Philadelphia from the land, while the sub's bombers attack New York City.

World War Two is over--but not for Jonathan Preston
The United States Army's most successful covert operative to come out of WWII, Jonathan Preston, and his team of agents race against time to stop a rogue Japanese submarine from attacking the US with a biological weapon capable of inflicting unimaginable casualties.
Shortly before the war ends, an Imperial Japanese intelligence czar implements a sinister plan of revenge against the US to strike Washington DC and New York City with a deadly biological weapon. If the US Navy cannot find and destroy the submarine, Jonathan Preston and his operatives must stop the transfer of the biologic into the hands of a skilled female Japanese agent already in the United States poised to take possession of the terrifying weapon.
Preston leads the hunt through the streets of Baltimore and Washington DC, the beaches and ocean waters of North Carolina, and the Virginia countryside before tangling with the unpredictable, stealthy, and deadly agent. Action, history, espionage, romance--it's all there.

Описание: After World War II, the American automobile industry was reeling. Having spent years building tanks and airplanes for the army, the car companies would need years more to retool their production to meet the demands of the American public, for whom they had not made any cars since 1942.
And then in stepped Preston Tucker. This salesman extraordinaire from Ypsilanti, Michigan, had built race cars before the war, and had designed prototypes for the military during it. Now, gathering a group of brilliant automotive designers, engineers, and promoters, he announced the creation of a revolutionary new car: the Tucker '48, the first car in almost a decade to be built fresh from the ground up. Tucker's car would include ingenious advances in design and engineering that other car companies could not match. With a rear engine, rear-wheel drive, a safety-glass windshielf that would pop out in case of an accident, a padded dashboard, independent suspension, and automatic transmission, it would be more attractive and aerodynamic--and safer--than any other car on the road.
But as the public eagerly awaited Tucker's car of tomorrow, powerful forces in Washington were trying to bring him down. An SEC commissioner with close ties to Detroit's Big Three automakers deliberately leaked information about an investigation the agency was conducting, suggesting that Tucker was bilking investors with a massive fraud scheme. Headlines accused him a perpetrating a hoax and claimed that his cars weren't real and his factory was a sham.
In fact, the Tucker '48 sedan was genuine, and everyone who saw it was impressed by what this upstart carmaker had achieved. But the SEC's investigation had compounded the company's financial problems and management conflicts, and a superior product was not enough to keep Tucker's dream afloat.
Here, Steve Lehto tackles the story of Tucker's amazing rise and tragic fall, relying on a huge trove of documents that has been used by no other writer to date. It is the first comprehensive, authoritative account of Tucker's magnificent car and his battles with the government. And in this book, Lehto finally answers the questions automobile aficionados have wondered about for decades: Exactly how and why was the production of such an innovative car killed?
