Описание: Ship and tugboat operations are some of the most dangerous professions. Most days, there is potential danger lurking nearby, and the lives of the men and women working under these potentially dangerous conditions, must not only cooperate, but they must also watch out for each other, and care for their fellow workers. Knowing the family members of the people whose lives may depend on your actions, creates a special bond. The crews and their wives, their children, and their significant others become one large family, and racial and romantic relationships are accepted at face value. Discrimination is not only unacceptable, but it also is not safe, and those who do not take that responsibility seriously, are not part of the family. The Tugboater Family will impress you, and make you wish the rest of the world could be as responsible and caring as these people show us we can be.

Описание: Crews Ship Affairs is the third book in the stand-alone Blue-Collar Romance novels series, written by Bob Ojala. The previous two books, A Tugboaters Life and The Tugboater Family revolved around the drama and romances of the Great Lakes sailors working in the tough and dangerous Marine Construction business.. This third novel continues with many of the same endearing characters, with a new character, Bob Evers, continuing to tell the tugboater crews about his unusual experiences while working aboard numerous passenger cruise ships. Most cruise ship passengers are not privy to what happens beneath the passenger decks, but Bob Evers experienced and understands the relationships that can occur, both good and bad, when 600-1000 men and women live together for four to eight months at a time.. The Crews Ship Affairs reader will be shocked and fascinated, even at times envious, of how these various cultures learn to treat one another with respect. Romance takes on many different meanings under such circumstances.. Mr. Ojala is a Naval Architect and Marine Surveyor, very familiar with the Great Lakes. He has traveled the world to inspect ships, including over 165 Passenger Ship Cruises as an environmental auditor.. Most of the characters and experiences in the Blue-Collar Romances series come from Mr. Ojalas personal observations, changing the names where needed. His respect for the sailors and their families is obvious in these stories.. Maritime industry readers will love the true-life drama, and readers appreciating good romance will love the characters personal interactions.

Описание: The last part of the Oulunsalo Fiction-series, "Helicopters" makes jumps back in time to draw contrasts with the troublesome present, looks at the pieces scattered on the floor, picks them up, asks the questions and gives the answers. Riku and Pasi return to a home vastly different from the one they left when they disappeared two years ago. The identity of The Russian is revealed, and with it, unveiled a web of deceit where everybody's played a part. Viktor and Samuli run into each other in the most unlikely circumstances after the former's stayed in hiding ever since last year's office-shooting, and the latter's fallen into a deep depression. One having lost his parents and the other having lost his best friend in the multi-cliffhanger ending of Talisman, each man's path takes them to different spiritual directions. While picking up the pieces of their lives in the aftermath of disaster, they must soar like a spectacle in the sky in order to reach their destinies before it's too late, and Oulunsalo gets frozen by Eastern mobsters.
