Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.

The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

Immediately gripping and thoroughly harrowing, Storming Las Vegas tells the story of a remarkable true-life crime spree - a story that was previously squashed so as not to disturb tourism, in the ultimate proof of "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".

Bored beyong belief

A crumb of a story which quickly became an incredible non story, padded out to to last 12 1/2hours. How I listed to this all the way until the end I do now know, but I did, and I will never get those wasted hours back.

A shoe computer to beat roulette!

Whether you love roulette, caculating odds or computers then this book is for you! The author has the right amount of geekiness in terms of the technical talk that doesn't distract from the story. The book took me back to the 70's and 80's where my thoughts drifted to challenges faced implementing the shoe computer at a time Apple were building their first computers. A story that would suit any decade from the 70's through until modern day.

Stephen Tupper did the story credit with an excellent, passionate narration.
