I hate when a bug lands in my cereal. That means I have to throw the whole thing out and waste all that good food. I won’t eat bug cereal. The worst part is that was the last serving of my favorite cinnamon cereal, so it had all the extra cinnamon and sugar that collects at the bottom of the bag. Is this how diets start?

Alcatraz: A Definitive History of the Penitentiary Years
by Michael Esslinger
(47 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | True Accounts
FREE for a limited time
ALCATRAZ – the name alone said it all…It was meant to send a shudder down the spines of the nation’s most incorrigible criminals.It stripped Al Capone of his power. It tamed “Machine Gun” Kelly into a model of decorum.It took the birds away from the Birdman of Alcatraz.
When prisoners boarded the boat for Alcatraz, they knew that they had reached the end of the line.Not only was this the toughest of all Federal penitentiaries, but it was also said to be virtually escape-proof.The island was a natural fortress, separated from the mainland by a narrow strait of freezing water and deadly currents.This prison was the U.S. government’s drastic answer to the lawlessness unleashed under Prohibition, which continued throughout the “Roaring Twenties” and into the teeth of the Great Depression.Alcatraz, with its damp cold and austere isolation, its rigid discipline and strict rule of silence, was as tough as the criminals that were sent there, and by the time the prison closed down in 1963, “the Rock” had indisputably done its job.
Alcatraz – A Definitive History of the Penitentiary Years has sustained as a staple reference for staff members and tour guides at Alcatraz, and remains one of the most comprehensive references chronicling the history of the island. This mammoth reference navigates the Island’s history through rarely seen documents, interviews and hundreds of pages of historic photographs. Author interviews range from men such as legendary FBI fugitive James “Whitey’ Bulger; Dale Stamphill, a principle in the 1938 escape with Doc Barker and Henry Young; to Atom Spy Morton Sobell, the codefendant of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Historian Michael Esslinger thoroughly details the prominent events, inmates, and life inside the most infamous prison in American History. His research included hundreds of hours examining actual Alcatraz inmate files (including rare original documents from Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, and over a hundred others) exploring the prison grounds from the rooftop to the waterfront to help retrace events, escape routes, in addition to conducting various interviews with former inmates & guards. Esslinger interviewed a variety of principle figures, comprised of both inmates and officers who were either involved, on-duty or on Alcatraz during nearly escape attempt. Interviews included inmates and officers that covered each era of operations at Alcatraz from the early military period in the 1920’s, through the federal years:1934 to 1963.
His study has resulted in detailed accounts of both the 1946 & 1962 Escape attempts. A detailed account of the 1962 escape of Frank Morris and the Anglin Brothers provides rare insight extracted through photos, and over 1,700 pages of FBI and Bureau of Prisons investigative notes.
Detailed narratives of Alcatraz’s most notable inmates who include Robert Stroud (Birdman of Alcatraz), Al Capone, Machine Gun Kelly, Frank Morris, the Anglin Brothers, Doc Barker, Joe Cretzer, Bernard Coy, Miran Thompson, Sam Shockley, and many-many others. Alcatraz Federal Prison – A Definitive History of the Penitentiary Years, is a comprehensive reference on the history of Alcatraz and contains one of the most comprehensive archives of inmate and prison life photographs (nearly 1,000) from 1934-1963.
NOTE: This book contains graphic depictions of crime and prison violence.

MUTANT HUNTER: THE SLICKS
by Stephen R. Cox
(16 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Enter a wormhole in Hell, come out in the Slicks.
It’s hard to imagine a worse place on Earth because there isn’t one. The uncharted no-man’s land covers a fifth of the planet in a polluted, stinking swamp of crude oil, sludge and radioactive waste. The fumes trigger psychotropic reactions in those who venture into the dark and foreboding wasteland. Bizarre and dangerous creatures crawl out of the toxic slime and walk on two legs. Going in is hard, getting out alive is damn near impossible.
The Slicks is a nightmare and Leon Miller has chased a mutant deep into its malignant territory. And it’s not just any mutant he chases. It’s the Holy Grail, Number Six, the last of the government’s Ten Most Wanted Mutants.
Every soldier of fortune and mutant hunter wannabe on the planet wants a piece of Number Six. The bounty is a record. Killing the mutant would make one a legend. Few, however, have the intelligence, resources or the nerve to go after him. Fewer still will risk tracking Number Six’s spoor into the Slicks.
One who will is Trills, the personal mercenary of the New States’ corrupt High Counsel. Trills, who wants Number Six dead, admires Miller’s mutant hunting skills, but he also sees the bounty hunter as a threat: one that could steal his glory, or worse, bring Number Six back alive.
THE SLICKS picks up where LEGENDS OF THE FALLOUT left off. The woman is still in play. The world is still a freak show. And now, the mutants have a bomb.
