Marvel Comics. COMIC. B0015HQ0BA New. No marks or damage. Comic Book, 1st print edition, Marvel Comics (2008). The Secret Invasion has been underway for years. For how long and to what extent, Tony Stark is not sure, but there is one thing he does know: Now is not the time for complacency. Following hot on the heels of the stunning revelation that Skrulls have been masquerading as Elektra and Black Bolt, Stark puts his best data-mining technology to the test to piece together their treacherous plot. From their first encounter with the Fantastic Four, through the epic clash of the Kree/Skrull War and the destruction of the Skrull Throne world, all the way to the recent Annihilation War and subsequent invasion of Earth, the timeline of known Skrull activity is made clear so effective battle plans can be drawn. With the Classified Top Secret Secret Invasion Saga report, the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. must leave no stone unturned in his analysis of this insidious enemy's history: The fate of the Earth will depend on it! 100% satisfaction guaranteed.

From Library Journal: Three-year-old Doni Shay, son of rich and famous film director Robert and his actress wife Emily, has been kidnapped, and the media leave no stone unturned in their blanket coverage of the event. While the FBI grills the servants, Emily is sedated and Robert attempts to raise millions for ransom without alerting the authorities, the press lays siege to the Shays' house and interviews anyone even remotely connected to the family, including former (and current) flames of the distraught parents. First novelist Smilgis has written an entertaining page turner, smoothly moving from little Doni, bravely coping in a situation he doesn't understand, to his parents, caught up in a nightmare,.

Hilton, a former aide to Senator Dole, leaves no stone unturned in this timely, thorough biography of the man who would be president. His narrative of the senator's life makes for interesting reading; the hardships of Dole's Depression-era childhood, the anguish of a World War II stint, during which he received an injury that left him with a withered right arm and little use of his left, his aggressive, explosive political history, and two unsuccessful bids for the presidency are topics covered here that will have appeal to general readers as well as political buffs. Hilton not only captures Dole's biographical background, but he also discusses Dole's penchant for accepting financial gifts and his indecisiveness and inability to take a firm stand on any issue, generally riding the tide of popular opinion on such issues as affirmative action, welfare, and taxes. While these charges aren't particularly surprising (public sentiment holds that most politicians are equally guilty), Hilton's portrayal of Dole's ruthlessness, lust for power, and intolerance of opposition is darkly foreboding. Hilton also draws parallels between Dole and Richard Nixon (Dole's political idol) and provides a thought-provoking look at what a Dole presidency would be like. - From Booklist.

Here, the bestselling author of Suddenly Sixty and Necessary Losses presents her life-affirming perspective on the joys, heartaches, difficulties, and possibilities of a grown-up marriage -- and no, that's not an oxymoron!Featuring interviews with married women and men, the findings of couples therapists, the truths offered by literature and movies, and a bemused exploration of her own marriage, Judith Viorst illuminates the issues couples struggle with from "I do" through "till death do us part."

Seven weeks later, the girl is stabbed to death on Emanuel's couch - with incriminating fingerprints on the murder weapon. To Kate, the idea of her brilliant friend killing anyone is preposterous, but proving it seems an impossible task. For Janet had no friends, no lover, no family.

"For more than a quarter century, Al Pacino has spoken freely and deeply with acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Lawrence Grobel on subjects as diverse as childhood, acting, and fatherhood. Here, for the first time, are the complete conversations and shared observations between the actor and the writer; the result is an intimate and revealing look at one of the most accomplished, and private, artists in the world. Pacino grew up sharing a three-room apartment in the Bronx with nine people in what he describes as his "New York Huckleberry Finn" childhood. Raised mostly by his grandparents and his mother, Pacino began drinking at age thirteen. Shortly after he was admitted to the renowned High School for Performing Arts, his classmates nicknamed him "Marlon," after Marlon Brando, even though Pacino didn't know who Brando was. Renowned acting coach Charlie Laughton saw Pacino when he was nineteen in the stairwell of a Bronx tenement, and the first words out of Laughton's mouth were "You are going to be a star." And so began a fabled, lifelong friendship that nurtured Al through years of not knowing where his next meal would come from until finally -- at age twenty-six -- he landed his first salaried acting job. Grobel and Pacino leave few stones unturned, touching on the times when Pacino played piano in jazz clubs until four a.m. before showing up on the set of Scarecrow a few hours later for a full day's work; when he ate Valium like candy at the Academy Awards; and when he realized he had been in a long pattern of work and drink. As the pivotal character in The Godfather trilogy and the cult classic Scarface, Pacino has enshrined himself in film history. He's worked with most of Hollywood's brightest luminaries such as Francis Ford Coppola, Sidney Lumet, Michael Mann, Norman Jewison, Brian De Palma, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Gene Hackman, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hilary Swank, and Robin Williams, among many others. He was nominated for eight Academy Awards before winning the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Scent of a Woman. Pacino still seems to prefer his work onstage to film and, if he's moved by a script or play, is quick to take parts in independent productions. Al Pacino is an intensely personal window into the life of an artist concerned more with the process of his art than with the fruits of his labor, a creative genius at the peak of his artistic powers who, after all these years, still longs to grow and learn more about his craft. And, for now, it's as close to a memoir as we're likely to get.", Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2006<
