The Space Machine - Christopher Priest - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

His novel, THE PRESTIGE, won a number of awards and was adapted into a critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film directed by Christopher Nolan (TENET, INCEPTION) starring Hugh Jackman (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, X-MEN), Christian Bale (THE BIG SHORT, BATMAN BEGINS), Michael Caine (THE ITALIAN JOB) and Scarlett Johansson (MARRIAGE STORY, THE AVENGERS).

David Bowie - Robert Dimery - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

David Bowie - Robert Dimery - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A relentless innovator, scoring chart hits while simultaneously incorporating radical and ground-breaking elements into his work. As with all great pop stars, Bowie''s image changed with almost every new album release. This appetite for reinvention, both musically and visually, saw him dubbed the ''chameleon of pop''. But Bowie''s influence extended well beyond his discography and make-up drawer. His androgynous qualities and public statements on his sexuality proved liberating for those who were uncertain about their own. Lives of the Musicians: David Bowie covers the years he spent struggling to find the right artistic outlet to the dramatic breakthrough in 1972 with Ziggy Stardust – and afterwards, the excessive lifestyle that nearly cost him his sanity. It continues with his artistic rebirth in Berlin during the late Seventies, the mainstream success he achieved with Let''s Dance in 1983 and the artistic price that he paid for it.

Killer Elite - Michael Smith - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The first book about SEAL Team Six and Bin Laden America''s most secret Special Forces unit does not even have a name. Formed as the ''Intelligence Support Activity'', it has had a succession of innocuous titles to hide its ferocious purpose. It exists to ''undertake activities only when other intelligence or operational support elements are unavailable or inappropriate''. Translated from Pentagon-speak, this means operating undercover in the world''s most dangerous places, penetrating enemy organizations including Al Qa''eda, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. ''The Activity'' combines the spy work of the CIA with the commando/SAS role of the Green Berets. It not only provides the intelligence on the ground - it translates it into ''direct action''. This is the unit that located Saddam Hussein, and recently led the intelligence operation that found and killed Osama Bin Laden.This is the untold story behind the world''s most secret Special Operations organisation.
