  JAMES BOND IS HOT ON THE TRAIL OF TWO STOLEN ATOM BOMBS 
  Upon M’s insistence, James Bond takes a two-week respite in a secluded natural health spa. But amid the bland teas and tasteless yogurts Bond stumbles onto the trail of a lethal man with ties to a new secret organization called SPECTRE. When SPECTRE hijacks two A-bombs, a frantic global search for the weapons ensues, and M’s hunch that the plane containing the bombs will make a clean drop into the ocean sends Bond to the Bahamas to investigate. 
  On the island paradise, 007 finds a wealthy pleasure seeker’s treasure hunt and meets Domino Vitali, the gorgeous mistress of Emilio Largo, otherwise known as SPECTRE’s Number 1. But as powerful as he is, Emilio works for someone else: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, a peculiar man with a deadly creative mind.

  A “wondrous work from the early career of one of the world’s greatest writers” (Kirkus Reviews) 
   
  Intricate interior lives are brilliantly explored in these short stories, now presented in one definitive collection as the author intended them.

  A soldier is reduced to quivering fear by the presence of a full-figured woman in his train compartment; a young clerk leaves a lady’s bed at dawn; a young woman is isolated from bathers on a beach by the loss of her bikini bottom. Each of them discovers hidden truths beneath the surface of everyday life.

  Charles Dickens' A Christmas...

  This complete version of A Christmas Carol is carefully crafted for the story's most avid readers using modern grammar and vocabulary. A Christmas Carol is one of Dickens’ best works, and in many ways, it has defined how Christmas is viewed and acted upon around the world. Christmas is a time for worship, family, friends, and love, and A Christmas Carol poignantly reminds and instructs us to express those things through charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence in honor of the sacred day. 
  However, as the English language evolves, this wonderfully instructive story is in danger of only being read as a school requirement by grudging students. That would be a sad loss for all readers. As an avid reader, teacher, and parent who simply loves this story, Jennifer George adapted this classic book for modern readers using 21st century English. The goal is to return this magical novella back into the entertaining and easily readable story it was when it was written nearly 200 years ago.
