WHO KNEW IT WAS SO HARD TO KILL YOUR BOSS? Bobby Custer just cannot seem to bring affairs to their natural conclusion. Against all odds, his boss, Noah Denton has survived each of the unfortunate events in the steady decline of his health. (Closer inspection of the events would reveal the extraordinary coincidence that each occurred shortly after a visit from his "adopted son" Bobby, but no one seems to be inspecting closely.) Thus far, Bobby has managed to stay in the game by relying on -- and cultivating -- the worst characteristics of human nature in everyone he meets. But the game is changing, and Bobby's life is going up in flames bit by bit. Maneuvered into a position roughly right smack in the middle of two opposing crime lords, Bobby can't be sure who's trying to kill him at any given moment. The question is: Can he convince one of them he's worth more alive than dead?

Hollywood Brat does for the sixties and seventies what The Catcher in the Rye did for the previous two decades - coldly, cynically, lovingly looks at the same life everyone else is seeing . . . and show it for the first time. With a remarkable gift for seeing life through the eyes of a four-year-old, an eight-year-old, a problem pre-teener, and so on, Nick James in this title places the reader where he or she never wants to be again yet cannot resist going - inside the mind of the challenged, frustrated, tantrum-throwing child. With the filmmaker's gift for imagery, narrative flow, and language, James has created in this book something much different from either the self-serving celebrity bio or the transparently commercial Hollywood tell-all. It is a penetrating look at childhood that just happens to take place in everyone else's dream land of Hollywood, where everyone else's stars are for James the plain, often disappointing regular people who populate the world of an ordinary child troubled with depression.

Perfect love is transformed, by time's cruel passing, into a late life awakening for Robbie Tanderlay. The erotic experiences of a lifetime are relived along with the horrors that the marine microbiologist's half-brother and employer thrust upon him. Driven by a family dynasty of greed and corruption, Robbie uncovers long hidden secrets that threaten his life. And it's only because of the divers psychic realizations that he is able to wade his way through the underworld and emerge successfully. As the gripping story weaves its way through your most wild imaginings, you discover that little fears can become immense terrors. We live out life changing events with Tanderlay as he is forced back underwater to save the life of his grandson, Kelly. At its climax, the boy's psychic gifts enables the undersea explorer and adventurer to revisit a scene of terror and surface from it with wild dreams that have become a fantastic reality. "As suspenseful as any of Alfred Hitchcock's best works." Ron Shusett, writer/creator of 'Alien' and 'Total Recall' "James has such a convincing way of telling a story that you start to remember things that never happened." Jim Burton, Indie Book Reviews "Surfacing is a breakthrough novel that brings dead sex back to life." Sharon Rafferty, Bond Street Journal Nick James is a prominent screenwriter and novelist and creator of Total Recall II. When he isn't writing suspenseful novels, he is in the employ of the major studios, like Twentieth Century Fox, as a sought after storyteller. He is also the noted author of the acclaimed 'Hollywood Brat', a tale of true-life mental horror soon to be brought to the screen.

HE'S FROM THE FEDS...AND HE'S HERE TO HELLLLLLLLppppp Corridor Man 3; The Dungeon is the THIRD book in the series; they should be read in order. Bobby Custer keeps changing his locks, but somehow he just never feels secure. Small wonder. His women betray him time and again - despite his generosity with his pharmaceutical supplies, and, of course, his fatal charm. His mysterious new tenant and her team of large, muscular handymen - each with a pistol shoved into the waistband of his work pants -- have done a fabulous rehab on the house he "inherited", but suddenly there are a distressing number of murders in the neighborhood. Try as he might to break free, Bobby's present existence comes with strings attached - to the disagreeable partners in the law firm where he toils daily, to the feds who got him the job, and to mobster Morris Montcreff, who knows where the bodies are buried -- but not necessarily which or how many! Bobby Custer's never been in control, and never more than one step ahead of Montcreff, as he is drawn inexorably into the sticky center of Montcreff's web.

Their careers have been supported by their ability to be warm, hospitable, courteous and welcoming at all times.

When 15-year-old Jesse manages to smuggle onboard the Academy a mysterious red Pearl, a fragment of space debris that is a dying Earth's most important energy source, he sets forth a destructive chain of events.

"A definite must-read!"--JAMES DASHNER, New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner A devastated Earth's last hope is found in Pearls: small, mysterious orbs that fall from space and are capable of supplying enough energy to power entire cities. Battling to control the Pearls are the Skyship dwellers--political dissidents who live in massive ships in the Earth's stratosphere--and the corrupt Surface government. Jesse Fisher, a Skyship slacker, and Cassius Stevenson, a young Surface operative, cross paths when they both venture into forbidden territory in pursuit of Pearls. Their chance encounter triggers an unexpected reaction, endowing each boy with remarkable--and dangerous--abilities that their respective governments would stop at nothing to possess. Enemies thrust together with a common goal, Jesse and Cassius make their way to the ruins of Seattle to uncover the truth about their new powers, the past they didn't know they shared, and a shocking secret about the Pearls.

Earth is under attack by the alien Authority from the planet Haven. Cassius and his brother Jesse are the keys to defending Earth. But the enemy's new weapon sends the resistance into turmoil. Alliances shift, traitors are revealed, and soon Earth's last chance at salvation lies in the hands of one brother who must make the ultimate sacrifice.
