This is another paragraph Product Description: A wonderfully sardonic and nightmarish tale of a Hollywood success story gone wrong, from the bestselling author of State of the Union. n nLike all would-be Hollywood screenwriters, David Armitage wants to be rich and famous. But for the past eleven years, he's tasted nothing but failure. Then, out of nowhere, luck comes his way when one of his scripts is bought for television. Suddenly, he's the new toast of Hollywood as the creator of a hit series. n nA new player in Tinsel Town, David reinvents himself at great speed - notably and especially by walking out on his wife and daughter for a young producer who worships only at the altar of ambition. But David's upward mobility takes a decidedly strange turn when a billionaire film buff named Philip Fleck barges into his life, proposing a very curious collaboration. David takes the bait, and finds he has inadvertently entered a Faustian Pact, one that results in an express ride to the lower depths of the Hollywood jungle., Hutchinson, 3, Exeter: Paternoster Press.

It it at conce a fascinating account of man's scientific achievements from the earlies times and a challenging reappraisal of some of the most pressing questions of today. With a welath of detail, much of it derived from personal, on-the-spot investigation of centres of civilization from the Equator to the Arctic, the author traces the development of man, the tool-maker, the technologist, from prehistory to the present day and makes an excursion into the future. After warning that man may be too clever and too arrogant, the author indicates how by pooling their scientific and technical knowledge the nations can develop the still vast resources of the world and together conquer such global menaces as food shortages, disease and radiation. From his unique experience as a 'United Nations explorer' in the deserts, the jungle and the Arctic, and his first-hand observation of impressive achievements throughout the world, he shows what can be done.

It tells the story of a small squad of British troops in the jungle who are ordered to infiltrate the Japanese lines and operate behind them. Their mission is to find a Japanese mobile artillery battery whose movements make it impossible for the usual forms of counter-battery fire to deal with it. If they can sneak through unnoticed, hide behind enemy lines and use their attached Forward Observer team (with radio) to destroy the Japanese battery then they still have to escape back to their own lines through a mass of Japanese troops who will be hunting them.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. thus with minimal shelf wear & light ageing reducing it to VG+.*, Transworld Publishers, 1957-01-01, 3, SOFTBACK SHIPPED FROM THE UK.* Edition: 1st.
