His well-deserved vacation comes to a screeching halt when Sam Granite finds a man collapsing at his door. The man has been shot in the back and is raving about inadvertently filming an assassination, and then hiding the video at a dive site. When the man dies, Sam is the only one alive who knows its location. Thanks pal. As a paramedic, Sam is used to blood and death, but this guy's story is off the charts. Sam doesn't need the drama. Why get involved? Because the Pope has just died a few days ago-and he's the one in the video. Has a hidden civil war in the Vatican erupted? Are opposing forces from Rome pursuing the video as well? With two beautiful women and some nasty thugs in pursuit, Sam had better figure out the players fast if he's going to survive. A billion people need the truth, a typhoon is on the horizon, and one hundred feet below the surface, it's beginning to heat up. From Cozumel and California, to Korea and Bali, Sam must choose to save lives, or take them. Once again, he'll need all of his skills and cunning, or this retrieval will be his last.

Sam Granite is in the wrong place at precisely the wrong time. When a US Senator and presidential candidate is kidnapped, Sam Granite is taken with her out to sea where his skills as a lifesaver are challenged by his desire to be a life taker. Constrained by a ruthless European family in the midst of the treacherous Pacific, Sam must summon all his reserves to save lives and prevent a catastrophe. A country's future is at stake. A leader's blood slowly ebbs. One man's life separates sacrifice from revenge. The countdown to the deadline begins, and Sam has all he can handle in a nightmare filled with lightning strikes, sharks, and beautiful women with spear guns.

Sam Granite faces the sharp edge of life and death every day as a paramedic. Stabbings, baby deliveries, and car wrecks rise up-forcing him to make critical decisions at a moment's notice. But he's confronted by a new challenge... A scientist may have found the cure to help millions. Too bad he's now incapacitated. Finding the scientist's daughter and hidden research is way out of Sam's league. And Sam is up to his thorax in killer Dobermans, bumbling partners, and industrial spy's. Experience the horrifying, crazy world of 911 calls as Sam tries to fulfill an oath to a stranger and gets more than he bargains for...

On March 6, 2001, the top two women's college basketball teams in the US, UConn and Notre Dame, played what was arguably the greatest game in the history of the sport. Bird at the Buzzer re-creates this unique season with a detailed account of the games that led up to - and beyond - the tournament finale.

“[Jeff] Goldberg admirably tells the story of the science and the scientists in this cutting-edge work.”—Los Angeles TimesIn late 1973, scientists John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz spent the majority of their time in an underfunded, obscure, and cramped laboratory in Aberdeen, Sweden. While working on the brains of pigs, the duo discovered a nonaddictive narcotic chemical that they hoped to later find in human brains. If they could isolate this chemical in humans, perhaps they could find a way to help the world begin to heal itself. Hughes and Kosterlitz’s research would inevitably lead them to discover endorphins, the body’s own natural morphine and the chemical that makes it possible to feel both pain and pleasure.Announcing their findings to the scientific world thrust Hughes and Kosterlitz in the spotlight and made them celebrities. Soon, scientists all over the world were hastily examining the human brain and its endorphins. In a few years’ time, they would use the team’s initial research to link endorphins to drug addiction, runner’s high, appetite control, sexual response, and mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia.In Anatomy of a Scientific Discovery, Jeff Goldberg describes Hughes and Kosterlitz’s lives before, during, and after their historic and scientific breakthrough. He also takes a look at the bigger picture, revealing the brutal competition between drug companies to find a way to cash in on this monumental discovery.

For twelve years the women's basketball rivalry between UConn and Tennessee was the most iconic matchup in women's sports. Now, eight years after the last game, Unrivaled reveals the on-court and behind-the-scenes story of this intensely personal rivalry between coaches, players, and the two most passionate fan bases women's sports has ever known.
