Carlucci's Heart
"One of the best blends of SF and mystery yet written." — Science Fiction Chronicle "Russo's San Francisco is very Bladerunner, though clearly written by somebody who knows that city well … The characters in this book are strong, the writing is solid." — SF Site In the San Francisco of the not-too-distant future, detective Frank Carlucci agrees to look into the disappearance of his daughter's friend. His investigations reveal layer upon layer of corruption and decay, culminating in the discovery of "Cancer Cell," a mysterious renegade medical group.

Carlucci's Edge

Carlucci Versus Kissinger
This book deals with a successful example of U.S. support to the transition from an undemocratic regime to a democratic one in Portugal. As Samuel Huntington wrote, Portugal represented the beginning of the Third Wave of Democracy and his example served as a model for subsequent democratization of Spain, Latin America and even the countries of the former Soviet Union. The Portuguese case of 1974-1976, is especially important now, as we witness the beginning of a fourth wave of democratization throughout the Middle East.

Commissaire Carlucci: TOSCA
Alljährlich finden die Opernfestspiele im Amphitheater von Orange im Département Vaucluse statt. Dieses Jahr singt der berühmte französische Tenor Noël Mandel den Cavaradossi in Puccinis Oper Tosca. Nach der Arie „E lucevan le stelle“ wird der Belcanto-Tenor auf offener Bühne angeschossen und schwer verletzt. Da dieser Teil Frankreichs eine Hochburg der rechtsreaktionären nationalen Front ist, vermutet das Innenministerium in Paris einen rassistischen Hintergrund. Commissaire Flavio Carlucci wird mit den hochsensiblen Ermittlungen beauftragt. Dieser Fall reicht weit in die Zeit der Besetzung Frankreichs durch die Deutschen und den verzweifelten Kampf der französischen Résistance gegen ihre Peiniger zurück und endet in einer Tragödie vor dem Landgericht Konstanz am Bodensee.
Get Me Carlucci
Once called " Washington's ultimate survivor" by The Washington Post, Frank C. Carlucci III served six presidents, traveled across the world on behalf of his country, and ultimately rose to prominence as secretary of defense. Through every era of his extraordinary and varied career, there was a common refrain: " Get Me Carlucci!" Get Me Carlucci combines Carlucci's own words with interviews from his contemporaries and context from his daughter, Kristin Carlucci Weed, who completes her late father's story while keeping his " characteristic deadpan humor and tell-it-like-it-is sensibility, no frills and no fuss." Starting with Carlucci's childhood and moving to his pivotal roles in the Congo Crisis of the 1960s and the Portugal's transition to democracy in the 1970s, Get Me Carlucci offers a unique look at the life of one of America's most important behind-the-scenes actors. While Carlucci was not a seeker of the spotlight, his work shaped the world and his time as secretary of defense defined American Cold War policy. " The president thought the world of him," said Carlucci's friend and mentee Colin Powell. " I thought the world of him."
The Years I've Done
This book is meant for both readers and writers. It contains short stories and poems that I’ve written, having been inspired by family, friends, and past lovers. Hopefully this book reassures all individuals with eyes wide open that here can be happiness and goodness found within all of our lives giving to us by ourselves and others. Some of us go through life wearing dark sunglasses while others see everything so clearly. Writers attempt to express a new outlook on life with self-expression which is a key component of all artists. My want for this book is to give that spark of encouragement to everyone in anything they do.
Destroying Angel
