    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - DEATH AND THE NAKED LADY Mac McLean, successful international singer, boards the Dauphiné on his way to New York, unaware that his patron, Georges Fournier, has just been murdered in Paris. But death is also on the passenger list of the luxury liner as it makes its way across the Atlantic. It starts innocently enough when McLean finds a case under his bed filled with Fournier's precious jade figurines. Everyone seems interested in these statuettes. Lady Harcourt, playing around on her husband Albert, is intrigued when she finds them under McLean's bed. The unsavory Gonzales makes it clear that he wants them. So does Joseph Pasquela. But why does a man so rich ask McLean to spy on his wife Elisabeth, formerly the Naked Lady of the Folie Bergère And why does movie star, Lili Fenwick, keep showing up in his stateroom When death makes an appearance, it is not entirely unexpected. FACES TURNED AGAINST HIM Bert Mason's wife Myra has disappeared. Was she cheating with Milt, as everyone says Bert laughs them off. Milt wouldn't cheat on his wife. Not Lillian. Then they find Myra's body. THE LADY AND THE CHEETAH After a bogus interview is published, everyone thinks that Rafferty Valois is an international man of adventure when, in fact, he is simply an out-of-work newspaper man. But that doesn't stop him from accepting a job from the Countess Becellini to retrieve a packet of stolen letters for her. The Countess is trying to make sure nothing comes between the marriage of her daughter Bianca and the deposed King of Movania, soon to be reinstated to the throne. But there are others who want the letters, and are prepared to offer Valois large sums for their deliverance-Bianca's grandmother for one, 'the bitch of Rome;' and Carlo Cattoriere, a deported gangster who has other plans for the former king that involves his niece, Maria. They all think Valois such a clever man that surely he can find them for him. Because if he doesn't, his life won't be worth a damn.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When you spend your life chasing an impossible dream Quinn Just six years old when my brother was snatched off the street, I grew up in the aftermath of tragedy. While other kids were happily playing in the sandbox, I was hiding under press conference podiums listening to my parents beg for Jake's safe return. People ask if I'm screwed up after what happened, and I never know how to respond. Life after the kidnapping is all I've ever known. Well, that and being the youngest brother to a rock star. Jake was the ultimate survivor. The prodigal son. My king. But I'm not that worshipful kid anymore, and I'm tired of walking a step behind. I've got the talent. I've got the drive. And now I'm coming for Jake's throne. Jess What to do with a runaway rock star in my passenger seat Jess of yore would've jumped at the chance. Hell, she'd already be in his lap by now. She was fearless and fun and sexy. She lived like there was no tomorrow. until tomorrow came calling and delivered her an ultimatum: repent or risk losing it all. And so responsible Jess was born, the good girl who paid her rent and watered her plants and put others before herself. The new, improved version of myself represented stability and a roof overhead. Yet sometimes. sometimes I missed that reckless girl. Wild Jess. God, she'd been so fun. And now Quinn was here, built like a god and asking me to play. One mindless afternoon of fun. Surely I could spare that for a future rock legend. I could bring old Jess back for just one day. What could possibly go wrong.

In fair condition. Green deco binding presents very well - gilt and black blind stamping is generally dulled from age. A small white scuff mark is exhibited on front board - above the gilt word "Moon" in title. Gilt lettering and deco on spine worn from tanning. Head and tail of spine bumped & cloth beginning to chip/fray. Provenance found on front paste-down. Light toning throughout text-block with some small instance of age-staining.

Originally published in French in 1865 as De la Terre à la Lune, tract direct en 97 hears 20 minutes, this first American edition in English was published nine years later with illustrations - which includes the sequel story Around the Moon (which Verne completed in 1870). From the Earth to the Moon tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons enthusiasts, and their attempts to build an enormous Columbian space gun and launch three people in a projectile with the goal of a Moon landing. Verne's moon story is notable in that he attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and in that, considering the comparative lack of empirical data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are remarkably accurate. However, his version of a space gun for a non-rocket space launch turned out to be impractical for safe human space travel since a much longer barrel would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers. However impractical it may be, Verne's novel influences several aspects of popular culture including H.G. Wells' 1901 novel The First Men on the Moon where the protagonist mentions Verne's novel to his companion. The first incarnation in 1995 of the roller coaster Space Mountain in Disneyland Paris, named Space Mountain: De la Terre à la Lune, was based loosely on the novel. Also, during they return journey from the Moon, the crew of Apollo 11 made reference to Verne's book during a TV broadcast on July 23, 1969. The mission's commander, Neil Armstrong said, "A hundred years ago, Jules Verne wrote a book about a voyage to the Moon. His spaceship, Columbia, took off from Florida and landed in the Pacific Ocean after completing a trip to the Moon. It seem appropriate to us to share with you some of the reflections of the crew as the modern-day Columbia completes in rendezvous with the planet Earth and the same Pacific Ocean tomorrow." Presents very well. Gift quality.
