A Novel

Black Monday

Captains Island: 1942 . . . For the sleepy little fishing village in Casco Bay, war was just a distant rumbling. Life went on pretty much as usual while their giant sixteen-inch guns guarded the convoys leaving Portland, Maine. Only Tom Heiden, a young American security officer, was uneasy—they were vulnerable to attack. Nobody seemed ready to listen . . . and then a stranger named Ryker showed up. But John Ryker—who seemed as safe as the man next door—was a killer, an American-born mercenary and Germany's most valued secret agent. He had served the Reich faithfully and well behind enemy lines in France, Poland, Norway. This time the assignment was different: to return to the place of his birth as the leader of a Nazi commando team. Their mission: capture an army base off the coast of Maine! This time Ryker would strike the blow that would destroy his native land. . .

Practical Prescriptions for Starting and Growing Your Business

Low Risk, High Reward

Contrary to popular belief, most entrepreneurs don't like risk. While they are not afraid to take chances, the most successful entrepreneurs do what they can to anticipate, minimize, and offset risk at every opportunity, insists Bob Reiss, who in his own flourishing entrepreneurial career has managed to turn risk reduction into a science. Now this successful self-starter, whose exploits have been featured in The Wall Street Journal and have become case studies for Harvard Business School classes, shares the lessons of a lifetime. By following his own prescription for managing risk, and using real-life success stories from experienced entrepreneurs, Reiss covers every obstacle the entrepreneur is likely to encounter. Where do ideas come from and how do you get started? Where can you find money and expert advice? How do you hire the best people and build credibility? How do you get orders and reorders? How do you develop and introduce successful products? Should you go public? Through every step in the process, Reiss emphasizes how risk can be anticipated, managed, and significantly reduced. Full of practical suggestions and insights, this easy-to-read book is an indispensable guide for anyone thinking about starting a business and particularly for those would-be entrepreneurs without experience or much capital. It is equally valuable to entrepreneurs looking for ways to make their businesses more successful.

Starting and Growing Your Own Business with Minimal Risk

The prescient book that first linked specific weather disasters with man-made global warming . . . now in its second edition, as a trade paperback. "What Bob Reiss did to elevate our awareness of the destruction of the rain forest in The Road to Extrema, he has now done for global warming... Reiss bypasses political rhetoric and engages us in storytelling, showing us how the greenhouse effect is changing our lives, person by person, community by community, nation by nation." - Terry Tempest Williams, author of Leap and Refuge, and winner of the John Muir Award and the Robert Marshall Award "From massive waves in the Maldives to tornadoes over Tennessee, from the halls of Congress to the hard disks of scientists, Bob Reiss has taken climate change and made it personal. The Coming Storm is the layman's guide to global warming-fair, urgent, and deeply unsettling." - Ted Conover, winner of the National Book Critics' Circle Award for Newjack "With a storyteller's gifts, Bob Reiss shows how a series of freakish and colossally destructive weather events awakened scientists, politicians, and ordinary people to the momentous stakes of a changing climate... a compelling narrative of the people and events that have shaped this ever more urgent debate." - Eugene Linden, author of The Future in Plain Sight and The Parrot's Lament "The most readable and intelligent summary of global warming science and politics I have read... a valiant effort to make people actually care about global warming." - Bill McKibben, New York ObserverFree of unnecessary scientific jargon and filled with the human and political dimensions of this story, this book reads like a mystery novel where you already know the terrifying outcome. Adding a new preface by the author, this edition brings back to life the compelling account of the link between climate and weather disasters.
