Bøger af Anthony French

A memoir containing 31 anecdotal tales spanning more than 60 years of the author's life, from 1956 through 2017. Bouncing from pillar to post across North America and the Pacific Ocean in his unique, hop-scotch way, it includes eight years in Naval Aviation, a decidedly non-conformist academic career, and a tour in Oregon state government. His encounters prove to be adventurous, mysterious, audacious, mystical, often upside-down or backwards, occasionally whimsical, sometimes heart-warming, and always thought-provoking and entertaining. And woven through it all runs the suggestion that when life hands you lemons, just make lemonade.

Dee and Jeff have hardly caught their breath after their harrowing cross-country exploits (Past Perfect Terror) when their hoped-for idyll in their mountain retreat is interrupted. An urgent request that they use their investigative skills to assist in the search for a missing teenager, Maria Spense, puts them right back into the thick of things. As they dig deeper into the mystery it becomes not just one girl, but many, and they find it necessary to put together a team of operatives from city, county, state, federal, and provincial agencies in their efforts to put an end to a west coast sex-slave ring.

Dee Johansen is running from her past when she, literally by accident, meets Jeff Westman, who appears to have no past at all. They form a somewhat rocky partnership, and with each new revelation their lives become increasingly entangled--with terrifying results.Filled with tension, suspicion, doubts, and misleading information, the couple flea from L.A. to the foothills of the Oregon Cascades, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, the forests of Western Michigan, and finally Chicago's Daley Plaza in their efforts to resolve the issues of their pasts.

All with an interest in physics and related technologies; those interested in the history of modern physics.
