Huntsville Air and Space
Join author and Huntsville native T. Gary Wicks as he uncovers the beginnings and inventions that influenced air and space engineering in Alabama and America. The air age in Huntsville began more than a century ago with Will Quick's design and construction of a flying machine, which he demonstrated in 1908 for patenting and manufacture. The space age began in Huntsville a half century later with the advent of Wernher Von Braun's Redstone Jupiter C rocket, which launched America's first satellite, Explorer 1, into orbit in 1958. A decade later, Huntsville was at the epicenter of the greatest technological achievement of the 20th century as the Saturn V rocket propelled humankind to the moon. Nowhere in the world is the century's rapid advance of air and space technology more apparent than in Huntsville. This unique evolution of flying machines and space vehicles unfolds in this pictorial documentary, including the dramatic growth of the research facilities and community infrastructure that produced these remarkable inventions.
The Black Squares Club
The Black Squares Club is a gripping psycho-sexual detective novel written for the mature reader. It is the second novel of the Sam Sonn series, built on the personna of a hi-tech sleuth who undertakes high profile cases. This time, a serial killer taunts both the police and his victims by mailing in crosswords that give clues to the time and place of his next murder. Sonn attempts to unmask the killer by applying his knowledge of crosswords, his background in computer science as well as his uncanny ability to decipher the criminal mind. In order to solve this case, however, he must sacrifice what he deems most precious--the only woman he ever truly loved. The author spins a chilling narrative that traps the readers psyche in unsuspecting twists, intellectual challenges, passionate sexual encounters and chilling violence. This is escapism in its purest form, transporting the reader to a place from which he may never return. Reader discretion is advised.
