It started with a sharp and sudden bang, a wrenching explosion of over-stressed metal abruptly and catastrophically ripping itself apart . . . a sickening sound that haunts every pilot’s most fevered nightmares. Flight 181 was just lifting off from Miami International Airport, fully-loaded and en route for Chicago, when a critical engine failure sent the crippled airliner plunging nose first into one of Miami’s newest and most popular high rise resort hotels. Within seconds, aircraft and hotel were transformed into a single, forty-five story pillar of flame, before the blazing hulk slowly shuddered and toppled to its side, taking the lives of more than two hundred passengers and crew, along with another thousand souls unfortunate enough to be caught on the wrong piece of ground. The worst disaster in the history of aviation has just occurred.Now, even before the last flames are doused and the first charred bodies pulled clear, three men begin a desperate race to uncover the cause: Alan Fisk, designer of the compressor blades that powered the doomed airliner’s engines, an engineer with an artist’s soul, desperately in love with the grace and innate humanity of technology, but haunted by a previous failure that cost another man his life; corporate warrior Cass Cutler, Fisk’s boss and CEO of aerospace giant Hi Tech who is determined to keep his company afloat despite the deluge of salivating lawyers and corporate raiders that will surely follow any finding of his company’s negligence; and Dusty McGinty, head of the National Transportation Safety Board’s “Go Team” assigned to investigate the crash, a man of vast experience and uncompromising character, who’s about to face the greatest challenge of his career.As reporters, politicians, and a shocked and terrified public clamor for something or someone to blame, the action races from the fetid and sweltering Florida swamps to deep inside the exclusive–but no less heated–world of the corporate boardroom, where

Just for a Thrill: Lil Hardin Armstrong, First Lady of Jazz


$1.99


Lillian Lil Hardin was a pioneer for women in jazz. After studying at Fisk University, the Chicago College of Music, and the New York College of Music, Lil joined Sugar Johnny’s Creole Orchestra and then moved on to Freddie Keppard’s Original Creole Orchestra. In the 1920′s Lil began playing in King Oliver’s world-famous Creole Jazz Band, becoming the first female jazz musician of renown. She was well-established in Chicago as a pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader before she met and married Louis Armstrong in 1924. She was the only member of Armstrong’s group that could read music. Based on extensive research, Dickerson’s stunning biography is the first to examine this musical iconoclast’s life and career.
