This is a fresh examination of the âEUR¿intelligenceâEUR(TM) gathered for the great train robbery. The suggestion of an Irishman (âEUR¿The UlstermanâEUR(TM)) was simply part of a package created by the robbers in time for their release from prison and to contribute to the subsequent book âEUR" everything since has compounded the âEUR¿mysteryâEUR(TM). Gordon Goody was one robber who âEUR¿metâEUR(TM) The Ulsterman and speaks highly of The UlstermanâEUR(TM)s information, but this information could easily be found elsewhere, and some of it is incorrect. So who else might have given âEUR¿intelligenceâEUR(TM)? One by one, other âEUR¿suspectsâEUR(TM) are identified and discounted, but with evidence for their defence. To use the metaphor âEUR¿hidden in plain sightâEUR(TM), one can identify another âEUR¿suspectâEUR(TM) with all the attributes The Ulsterman was said to have. If the reader is willing to look at the evidence afresh, itâEUR(TM)s necessary to consider not what the robbers et al have said, rather what they havenâEUR(TM)t said. The robbers were dishonest men who frequently lied âEUR" but writers and commentators have followed what they have said. And it hasnâEUR(TM)t really led anywhere. To unravel the yarn presented, it wasnâEUR(TM)t a senior official in either the Post Office or British Rail. It was an âEUR¿ordinary thiefâEUR(TM) with an extraordinary ability to blend into the background, and have fingers in a great many pies. LetâEUR(TM)s expound the myth.

Above and Beyond is a novel about Special Forces reconnaissance in the Vietnam War. It is also about the relations of three generations of military professionals, and their love-hate relationship with the U.S. Army. ABOVE AND BEYOND is an adventure novel of the highest order, full of truths about love, war, and the profession of arms. - W.E.B. Griffin, best-selling author of THE BROTHERHOOD OF WAR, THE CORPS, HONOR BOUND, and BADGE OF HONOR series A great read. I literally couldn't put it down. -Joseph L. Galloway We Were Soldiers Once...And Young The action is heart-pumping, heart-wrenching, and the story will absolutely hold you in its grip from the first page to the last. It is being there without the bullets. -Don Bendell Snake Eater The B-52 Overture Above and Beyond is Jim Morris's masterpiece, an epic tragedy of a man who dared all, and either won or lost all, depending on your point of view. Me, I think he won. -Col. Robert K.

He is the real deal. --John Milius, screenwriter Apocalypse NOW Dirty Harry Jeremiah Johnson Red Dawn

From the music of legendary singer/songwriter Jim Morris comes The Tales of Tarpon Jim. The pretty bartender is shocked when a crusty old, washed up fisherman finally starts telling his stories. The fantastic tales he tells are each proven true when they take a last boat journey through the Keys. He's amazed that the grateful people of the Conch Republic haven't forgotten. She's amazed at what she learns at every port. A heartwarming story of a great man who lived a life that most of us can only read about. Another wonderful fable from the incredible music of the late, great, Jim Morris.

There was a quaint British convention under which executions were stopped and sentence commuted if scheduled to take place on the day the sovereign died. Alfred Moore was doubly unfortunate: still protesting his innocence he was on the scaffold an hour before the death of King George VI was announced.
