gripping thriller debut, set deep in the heart of the world’s most powerful political arena
A year ago, fresh out of Harvard Law School, Mike Ford landed his dream job at the Davies Group, Washington’s most powerful consulting firm. Now, he’s staring down the barrel of a gun, pursued by two of the world’s most dangerous men. To get out, he’ll have to do all the things he thought he’d never do again: lie, cheat, steal-and this time, maybe even kill.
Mike grew up in a world of small-stakes con men, learning lessons at his father’s knee. His hard-won success in college and law school was his ticket out. As the Davies Group’s rising star, he rubs shoulders with “The 500,” the elite men and women who really run Washington — and the world. But peddling influence, he soon learns, is familiar work: even with a pedigree, a con is still a con.
Combining the best elements of political intrigue and heart-stopping action, THE 500 is an explosive debut, one that calls to mind classic thrillers like The Firm and Presumed Innocent. In Mike Ford, readers will discover a new hero who learns that the higher the climb, the harder — and deadlier — the fall.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Genre(s): Classic Rock, Rock
From an Amazon Top Reviewer:
fter the thundering success of their first two albums, Led Zeppelin showed that they had more than just a heavy metal side. Led Zeppelin III has an acoustic based, earthy sound and in most places finds the band in a mellow mood. “Immigrant Song” opens the album with a driving kick that belies what will follow. “Friends” and “Celebration Day” show off Jimmy Page’s skills on the acoustic guitar while retaining the power of their electric work. “Since I’ve Been Loving You” is a mournful blues dirge in which Robert Plant bleeds his heart out all over the song. John Bonham contributes the fine “Out On The Tiles”. “Gallow’s Pole” starts with a slow beat and then builds and builds and picks up speed like water rising in a dam. The water keeps getting higher and then tension builds in the song before it comes bursting free at the end. “Tangerine” is beautiful song that doesn’t get many mentions as a great Zep song, but despite its seeming subtlety, it one of the most intricate of their songs and one of their all-time best. III is among the most critically bashed of their albums, but the acoustic nature of it was a precursor to the Unplugged albums of the 90′s and the album deserves alot more credit than it gets.
