Book Description
Against a back-drop of international terror and intrigue, Secret Service agent Cameron Roberts and first daughter Blair Powell return in Honor Guards.
When you're the president's daughter and the closest thing the country has to a first lady, your life is never really your own. When you're the woman charged to guard the first daughter, and you also happen to be her lover, every moment of every day is filled with challenges-and a mistake could cost you everything. Unbeknownst to either Blair Powell or Secret Service agent Cameron Roberts, they are at the center of a conspiracy that will rock the world when a net of violence and death draws down upon them and the nation. In a journey that begins on the streets of Paris's Left Bank and culminates in a wild flight for their lives, the president's daughter and those who are sworn to protect her wage a desperate struggle for survival.

Always better.......2007-08-12
The best part of this series is that I do not get bored. The characters keep growing with each book. And the introduction of some new characters and their own perspectives of the things happening around them and to them helps drive the story. Cool stuff
Book 4 in the series.......2006-08-14
Again, as with the first 3 books in the series, I could not put it down.
#4--Still great!.......2006-07-28
This is the fourth in the Honor Series and is just as exceptional as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd novels.
I've become familiar with the characters in this series. I hurt when things don't go well and it brings joy to my heart when their lives go well.
Blair continues to be a target for any left-wing group trying to make a point about America. Cameron and her team have their work cut out for them as they venture to France.
When I finished it, I was looking for book #5, immediately.
Don't pass the Honor Series by. Radclyffe is a fantastic writer.
Another Winner in the Honor Series.......2006-05-23
Whether you read Radclyffe's series books, like the Justice series or the Honor series or the Provincetown series, or you read one of her stand-alone romances, you can not go wrong.
I have been reading lesbian fiction for many years, and can honestly say that I have never come across a writer that has so affected me. Her characters are strong, intelligent, and romantic. Naysayers will say that Radclyffe's characters are too perfect almost never flawed - either in looks or character. That may be true, but aren't you tired of the genre's penchant for ordinary? Radclyffe's characters are always enchanting, intoxicating, enticing, and intense. The stories, particularly in the series books, are all first class. Most of her series books are page-turners. And in two of the books, I actually turned to the last page to make sure that the main characters survived - something I never do.
Radclyffe let us believe, at least for the duration of each of her books, that the grand passion, the true love, the happy-ever-after are all possible. She lets us believe that being a strong, intelligent woman does not mean that we will be alone and/or isolated.
The only caveat I have is to read the series books in order. And if you enjoy watching a writer grow, then read the non-series books in the order they were written and watch Radclyffe's talent grow before your very eyes.
Absolutely Wonderful!.......2006-02-10
Only the talented Radclyffe could come up with a story like this! The plot is based on the events of 9/11. When the towers are hit, First Daughter Blair Powell is attacked and almost killed by a group of well-trained men... one of whom is a Secret Service Agent assigned to her security team. In walks (or runs) her security chief and lover, Cameron Roberts. Cam shoots the traitor before he call pull the trigger on Blair. After secreting Blair from New York City, Cameron agrees to take them to the home of one of Blair's friends from college. They can't go to any of the established safe houses or let anyone know where they are because of the unexpected breech in security. As Cam struggles to keep her lover safe, Blair struggles with her own feelings about the dangers of Cam's profession.
This series gets better each time I read it (this was my third time). Rad brings the characters to life unlike any other author in the genre. The reader can almost imagine running into Blair and Cam on the street. Rad brings dimension to her book and gives the reader an additional bonus with the development of other character relationships, the most obvious being the one between SS Agent Paula Stark and FBI Agent Renee Savard.
This story is so well told, the reader is apt to believe there actually was a plot to take the First Daughter on 9/11.
A MUST HAVE BOOK.

Book Description
Guard of Honor is a neglected masterpiece that stands comparison with the greatest novels of the Second World War--essayist Noel Perrin deemed it "probably the best war novel of the twentieth century."
----James Gould Cozzens's Guard of Honor won the Pulitzer Prize in 1949. The novel balances a vast cast of intricately enmeshed characters as they react over the course of three tense days in September 1943 to a racial incident on a U.S. Army airbase in Florida. The reader is acutely aware of the war raging abroad and the effect it has had, or will have, on the multitude of servicemen who populate Cozzens's immense canvas. As Noel Perrin commented in The Washington Post Book World: "There is material for two or three hundred movies in Guard of Honor."
----"No other American novelist of our time writes with such profound understanding of the wellsprings of human character and of the social pressures that help to form it," said Orville Prescott in The New York Times. As Brendan Gill observed in The New Yorker: "Every page of Guard of Honor gives the impression of a writer at the very top of his powers setting out to accomplish nothing less than his masterwork."
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-
dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

Bad.......2007-04-05
This is a pitiful excuse for a novel. I read about 6 books a month, and rarely, once I have started one, do I give up on it. After about 150 pages I threw this one in the trash. I wouldn't even give it to a friend or donate it to charity. It defiles the paper it is written on...why? Because it is soooo booooring. Rather than wade thru this thing, paint a wall and watch it dry.
Sub par WWII novel.......2004-11-17
I really looked forward to reading this book thinking it was on the same level as "The Caine Mutiny" or "The Naked and the Dead" but I was sorely disappointed. It's simply boring even while there's supposedly a world war going on. What's worse is there's no discernible plot. Another reviewer suggested sticking to Herman Wouk and I agree. His three books: "The Caine Mutiny", "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" are about the best WWII novels that I know of.
Too much...WAY too much.......2004-03-18
One reviewer called "Guard of Honor" a "Dickens of a novel", and it's easy to see what he was getting at: a big book, bustling with characters and situations, covering a time and place from many angles to make a detailed portrait...that's what Charles Dickens did best, and that's what Cozzens certainly INTENDS to do, but it simply does not come off. There is just too much fat here, too many long, long scenes that go nowhere and provide no particular insight, too many long, long conversations that all too obviously serve only to mouth the author's philosophy, too much anticipation for too little payoff. Buried far underneath all this is a good story, a great writing style, and a few good characters. Critic Noel Perrin's singular enthusiasm for this novel is touching, but this is NOT the great novel of World War 2. Leave that to Mr. Jones or Mr. Wouk.
Great Literature, But Not a Good Story Well Told.......2003-08-04
A novel of intricate characterizations of a huge number of participants in a bureaucracy, Guard of Honor would probably appeal more to lovers of Great Literature than to lovers of a Good Story Well Told. It is a very long and detailed book. What plot there is involves attempts of some of the lead characters to avoid doing the morally-correct action. Few characters are likeable; few have much integrity. The author likes very long sentences; many paragraphs are absolutely incomprehensible. The ending was quite unsatisfactory to me. However, all those characters are distinctive and memorable - not a small achievement. And, the author certainly understands the dynamics of a bureaucracy. The book is enjoying a small revival due to a rave review in the American Scholar magazine.
Strong black coffee, not a soy latte.......2001-10-31
Cozzens' masterful social novels, of which "Guard of Honor" is the towering apex, have been erased from the history of American literature by its guardian - the academic establishment - because of his thorny conservatism and unadorned steel-and-rivets prose style. It's our loss. If you compare the ambition and artistic discipline of this wise and sober novel to, say, the latest annual installment of navel-gazing from Philip Roth (to name a writer who enjoys a comparable level of esteem today), you can only shake your head at the profound dumbing-down of our culture.
Inasmuch as only a fraction of any armed force directly participates in combat, this stunningly broad study of a Florida air force base in the latter stage of World War II is actually more relevant to the history of our participation in that struggle than a book like "The Naked and the Dead". And its look at an early chapter in the unfinished story of race integration in America is arguably more germane than ever, although its conclusions do not sit comfortably. (No televised talking head could hope to express them and still keep his job.) If you're interested in a truly adult novel, in the best sense of the word, you can't do much better than this one.

A Teen's Point of View.......2006-03-28
This book is so great! It's about a spunky girl who fends for herself, but there's also lots of romance, adventure and magic. A must-read! This book should be as well known as the Harry Potter ones.
I loved it!.......2005-04-30
I just listened to "The Perilous Guard" on tape on my way to work and it was a wonderful way to start and end the day. The story was carefuuly presented so as to draw the reader, in my case listener, ever more deeply into the tangled web of intrigue and suspense. The dialogue between the main characters was especially well crafted, and in the end, I sat in my driveway refusing to go inside until the very end of the story. "The Perilous Guard" is a story about the Faery Folk of England and takes place during the reigns of Queens Mary and Elizabeth. The historic aspect made it fun, and the portrayal of the Faery Folk was interesting. I'm giving this book to my mom for Mother's Day, confident she'll love it. I especially recommend the audio version of this book. The reader has the most beautiful English accent and the loviness of her voice and the skill with which she renders the characters only adds to the story.
Is it a dancing night Fairy Lady....?.......2005-04-03
How can I describe the thrill of reading this book? I picked it up one day when I wanted something to read that didn't require much thought and being twenty I didn't think it would be too taxing.
I was wrong, I could not put this book down! I read the whole thing through in one day and read it again the next day! It was very original with a few historical facts woven in for to bring a sense of realism to the story. I enjoyed the fact that the heroine was not a perfect and lovely girl, but gawky and awkward as many of us are. I find the hero and his brother both fascinating.
Randall was very endearing as the bard, I wanted to put my arms around him and tell what a good job he did. The last scene with the fairy queen was wonderful, her attempt to have revenge in such a subtle way was superb!
And when she knelt to Kate in the queen's salute I felt like crying too! It is an endearing and sweet novel for any girl, my sisters and even my brother's adore the story. A great buy for any of your friends who like to read.
READ THIS BOOK!.......2004-08-07
"The Perilous Guard" by Elizabeth Marie Pope was a thrilling read that i could not put down from the moment i picked it up.
This book combines wonderfully the traights of historical fiction, a romance, mystery, and of course, magic.
The story is about unremakable Kate sutton who is banshed by Queen Mary Tudor to the dismal castle Perilous Guard. There Kate must uncover the dreadful secret that haunts the castle and its woods, while finding the power within her to outsmart the cold hearted Queen of the fairies and save the man she loves from commiting the ultimate sacrifice, to right the wrong he commited years ago...
The characthers in the book are well developed and you feel something for each of them from the witty and brave Kate, to the dark and troubled Christopher. This book weaves and extrodinary tale about the power of love and redemption and the courage to fight the fears in one's self.

Book Description
There is no denying that the closet door has swung wide open for gay men in many professions, from medicine to movie producing. But for many men, working in more blue-collar, male-dominated environments, the workplace remains a place of secrets and fear of discovery. Journalist Dan Woog, who has previously examined the intersections-and often collisions-of sexual orientation and societal expectation in athletics ( Jocks ) and education ( School's Out ) applies his sharp, empathetic skills to these profiles of gay men who work in what might traditionally be thought of as "straight jobs." Logging, Wall Street trading, police work, news anchoring and firefighting are just a few of the professions that seem to attract only straight men. But, of course, appearances do not match reality. The sometimes liberating, sometimes frightening, sometimes tragic experiences of gay men working in these environments are spotlighted in an intimate, thought-provoking manner that reveals important truths about what makes today's society truly work.
?
Dan Woog is a journalist, educator, soccer coach, and gay activist. His articles and essays have appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and USA Today. He is a contributing writer for The Advocate magazine. He is the author of 11 books, including two collections of his most popular newspaper columns.

A near academic look at social expectations.......2003-03-20
Depending on your point of view, writer Dan Woog might be either a maverick or a pioneer. In his earlier "Jocks" series, Woog may well have essentially initiated the diaglogue that acknowledged that there are gays in pro sports. Here, in "Gay Men, Straight Jobs," Woog again takes on the challenge of portraying gays realistically: as they behave and as they are expected to behave based on societal expectations and demands. And it's from that perspective - profiling the gay man within the framework of institutional mores - that makes Woog something of an academic sociologist. An array of occupations perhaps traditionally thought to be exclusively straight are presented here by their gay workers: police officers, fire fighters, upscale Wall Streeters and even television news reporters. What emerges is how workers in those and other fields manage to balance their sexual orientation with the expectations and mores of their respective professions, and how those expectations relate to the larger society. To gain any meaningful information from this book, particularly if you're a gay man struggling to fit into your own social and occupational frameworks, it's best to read the book as something of a self-help guide. Don't expect any simmering accounts of gay sex: if you want that, look elsewhere. More important than that, you might find something here that has actual long-term benefits.
Very humdrum.......2002-12-03
Mr Woog's book lacks style and has... this big measure - "coming out". Coming out is an individual thing and personalities vary. Lives vary. Every interview was preoccupied with whether the guy was "out" or not. The problem was that the related stories showed no correlation with sexual status. The book was badly preoccupied with this one fact.
Gay Men; Straight Jobs was a very poor attempt to interview a group of interesting men. Mr Woog seemed to have a set formula (a very poor formula at that) which he followed with each man he interviewed. The book provided little insight into the interviewed men's lives and provided a very dull read. There was no attempt by the author to tie threads of commonality or diversity between the different people. Life is not whether you are out or not; its how you lead your life which is important.
Dan Woog Hits Home Again.......2001-12-22
As one of the subjects Mr. Woog chose for the book (park ranger) I was pleased to see how he treated my very personal story. Those who know me gave me great feedback on how accurate his depiction was and, more importantly, several people who are struggling with coming out at work have contacted me for help. The writing shows compassion and humor. My friends who have read it highly recommend the book as do I. Though I was a little shy about it, I'm glad I told my story to Mr. Woog.
Engaging and Important.......2001-11-15
Dan Woog has once again written an engaging and important book about being gay in America. It's tempting to call Woog the gay community's Studs Terkel, but that may not do Woog justice. The skillful manner in which he conveys his subjects' experiences makes this book fascinating reading no matter how close one is to the issue.

Financial Accounting Study Guide.......2007-10-05
Arrived in excellent, brand new condition. Came in a timely fashion. Great study guide with review and practice questions.
Not a good book from a student point of view, but serves the purpose.......2005-10-13
I bought this book because it is required for my Financial Accounting course. The book serves its purpose, which is to introduce the world of financial accounting to student like me who has no business background. However, the author has injected a lot of personal opinions into the text, which some are really biased. For example, the author emphasize on the mis-trust between management and investor. There is, to some extent especially after the scandals of Enron and WorldCom, but author has exaggerated it. Also, my professor, a former CFO, pointed out some formulas and pratices on the book have no value in the real world. The plus side is that the text in the book is not hard to understand.
Speedy Delivery.......2005-09-03
I got the book three day after I ordered.
Incredible fast .....
Thanks for doing me a favor.
Not even an answer key to the exercises.......2003-03-08
The book is easy to understand, but there should be a solutions manual, or at least an answer key to the exercises. It has been very difficult for me to "learn the mechanics" and "apply the concepts" at the end of each chapter. The pace of the course allows the teacher to solve only 2 or 3 exercises in class, and the book certainly does not make selfstudy easy. Needless to say, that you can't learn financial accounting just by reading. To makes things even worse, a study guide, which does not refer to the same exercises in the book, is out of print.
Confusing.......2001-04-13
The text is very confusing.
Book Description
By focusing on three elemental themes--economic factors, measurement issues, and decision-making perspective--Jamie Pratt's book provides an enlightening coverage of financial accounting from an economic perspective, at once tightening the conceptual framework while enriching the essential contextual relevance of principles every business manager needs to understand.

Book Description
Every time you mess up, you feel the need to make an excuse. If you're tired of offering the same old tired explanations, take your pick from this encyclopedic collection of hundreds of excuses you've never used before. They're organized into categories like medical emergencies ("I have a chemical imbalance"), weather ("the humidity swelled my door shut"), ancient proverbs ("nothing is inevitable until it happens"), and reasons that make no sense ("I did my own thing and now I have to undo it"). You can even pick the perfect excuse for particular people: boss, spouse, date, or cop. Serious excuse makers will appreciate the psychological interpretations of various responses, to make sure you pick the right one for every situation.
