Snouts in the Trough

From the salubrious offices of John O'Donoghue, the former Ceann Comhairle, to Senator Ivor Callely's long commute to work, award-winning journalist Ken Foxe provides an irresistible read. This is an eye-opening glimpse into the world of unearned privilege, unreasonable expectation and gross extravagance that characterises our political and administrative elite. Yes, the same geniuses who have overseen our slide towards disaster. 'A damning dissection of a culture of excess and entitlement' Fintan O'Toole, The Irish Times 'Foxe's level of detail on individual expense claims is praiseworthy and is sure to succeed in angering many readers' David Clerkin, Sunday Business Post RT� 'Liveline' Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2010

Deep Sting

ONE MAN BELIEVES HE CAN GAIN CONTROL OF THE MOST POWERFUL NAVAL FORCE IN THE WORLD — AND HIS ENEMY WILL NEVER KNOW! While the two superpowers are apparently relaxing under the spirit of glasnost, Nicholas Koniev, a Soviet strategic and technical genius and a Spetznaz-trained warrior, is leading a near-suicidal mission into the American submarine base of Bangor, Washington — home of the vital Trident missile subs. He appears to be using mini-subs to seed the harbor with sonar-activated mines that will deny the Tridents access to the Pacific, but appearances are deceiving. His actual mission is a one-man quest to neutralize the Trident system forever. Bernie Ryng, a seasoned Navy SEAL with a string of legendary exploits to his credit, is heading a small, elite team of SEALS and trained dolphins to reinforce the Tridents' security. A beautiful Englishwoman on a lonely island is the only human being who may be able to help Koniev escape. As Ryng closes in, Koniev alone knows that there are two prizes he's after…

Sniper

The True Story of Anti-Abortion Killer James Kopp Sniper opens in October 1998 near Buffalo, NY. A man is alone in the dark in a forest.

Barnett Sepia, a doctor who provides abortions, is fatally wounded. The shooter is James Kopp, the son of a Marine, who came to embrace the pro-life cause and ultimately the notion of "justifiable homicide: against abortion providers. Kopp fan...

Hell at the Gates:

On 28 November 2010, the Irish government infamously agreed to a bailout from the Troika to save Ireland’s failing economy. This decision had huge and long-lasting social implications for Ireland and her people, and led to the annihilation of Fianna Fáil and its allies in the 2011 general election. In 'Hell at the Gates', Brian Cowen, the late Brian Lenihan, Eamon Ryan, Micheál Martin, Mary Harney and many others, recount for the first time in their own words the inside story behind the actions of the most hated government in living memory. The result is a deeply honest, intensely personal and revelation-strewn account of their experiences in the white heat of an economic meltdown. It re...

Mobius Blvd: Stories from the Byway Between Reality and Dream No. 7 - May 2024

There is a byway between reality and dream. A transit we call Möbius Blvd … Inspired by the enigmatic Möbius strip, a mathematical construct that defies conventional notions of linearity and infinity, Möbius Blvd has no beginning or end but exists in a place where reality and dream have fused … coalesced … merged. With each turn of the page, you'll encounter a unique blend of horror, fantasy, and science-fiction—fiction that will challenge your perceptions and leave you in awe of the infinite possibilities that exist within the written word. Indeed, Möbius Blvd is far more than a magazine; it's an experience. It's an exploration of the infinite, a passage through dimensions where...

Inspired by the book Stasiland, this work is an attempt to see if some of the state practices that flourished in Communist Eastern Europe might be replicated in modern Ireland. It goes into the question of intelligence agencies, what agencies are active in Ireland, how they harass dissidents, their use of modern technology and their role in secretly supporting paramilitary groups in Ireland and around the world. It includes a lot of first hand testimony of state harassment, and even torture, which is on a par with what happened in countries like East Germany. Finally it concludes with some searching questions about the real government policies being pursued in Ireland.
