Paperback. From the author of the bestselling Just Between Us comes this warm and funny novel about the importance of female friendship. EMMA, HANNAH AND LEONIE Three very different women meet on holiday and become close friends. Each is at a different stage in life and has different ambitions. Hannah -- young and beautiful, wants to forget the man who betrayed her and throw herself into the excitement of the single life -- but is she deceiving herself? Emma -- two years married and desperate to have a baby. But what kind of parent would she be when she still allows herself to be bullied by her own parents? Leonie -- generously proportioned and big-hearted. Can there ever be romance for her, after fast growing-up teenaged children and a divorce? Over the next few years, as they work out their needs and desires and come to terms with their situations, their lives become inextricably entwined. These are USED books.

Paperback. In January 1952, two young men from Buenos Aires set out to explore South America on a 500cc Norton. One of them was the twenty-three-year-old Ernesto Che' Guevara. Written eight years before the Cuban Revolution, these are the diaries of Che Guevara, full of disasters and discoveries, high drama and laddish improvisations. Touring through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Venezuela, his greatest concerns are where the next drink is coming from, where the next bed is to be found and who might be around to share it. Within a decade Che Guevara would be a household name. His trip might have been the adventure of a lifetime - had his lifetime not turned into a much greater adventure. More recently made into an Oscar-winning film starring Gael Garcia Bernal,The Motorcycle Diaries' is an extraordinary account of a hero in the making. These are USED books.

Paperback. From Rules of Engagement to Hostile Contact, Gordon Kent has captivated readers with novels that combine authentic portrayals of global secret operations with the passions that go with them: the yearning for family and peace, the deceptions of agents in the field, and the extraordinary risks the bravest and best will take for a cause. His new suspense novel is vintage Kent: a heart-stopping tale of a terrorist strike, its explosive aftermath, and the struggle of special agents in a battle that is reshaping the globe.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;To Americans, the scene is agonizingly familiar. The mangled steel of a U.S. warship in a foreign harbor. The revolving loops of CNN footage and faraway streets strewn with debris. But for Lieutenant Commander Alan Craik, the terrorist attack on the USNS Jonathan Harker is part of the job. Fighting terrorism from Pakistan to the Far East, Craik reacts to a spontaneous horror with calm action. But an enemy Craik doesn't know has carried out the bombing in the teeming port of Mombasa, Kenya--for reasons he cannot guess.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;While Alan Craik finds himself in the middle of a scene of carnage, his wife, Rose Siciliano Craik, is fighting her own battle, proving her flying prowess, rising to astronaut training school in Houston while trying to hold her family together. Now she herself has been forced to accept around-the-clock protection from NCIS--the Navy Criminal Investigative Service. NCIS special agent Mike Dukas, Rose and Alan's friend, is playing it by the book. But he's also playing his hunches. Dukas thinks it might not be coincidence that Craik was in Mombasa when the terrorists struck--and that a sniper was using the cover of chaos to take a shot at Craik himself.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;As agents scramble around the world to find the planners of the attack, and another bomb goes off in Cairo, Craik, his wife, and their friend are at the center of the storm. And as each makes fatal choices, they begin to sense that the fight they're in is not the kind they've planned and trained for--and that whoever is behind the devastating Mombasa terrorist attack may be coming relentlessly after them.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;@lt;i@gt;From the Hardcover edition.@lt;/i@gt; These are USED books.
