No store stamps. --- --- THE AQUITAINE PROGRESSION --- An epic of massive betrayal from the master of action. Joel Converse is a highly successful American lawyer and hero of Vietnam. He is an intelligent but cold man, embittered by his war experiences. On business in Geneva he is approached by an old school friend under an assumed name, who puts Converse on the track of a group of leading right-wing generals whose intention is world domination. Then his friend is murdered -- and with his death the carnage starts. A reluctant Converse becomes both the tracker and the hunted, as everywhere he turns men are killed and he is implicated in their murder. He becomes the most wanted man in Europe, running both from the forces of good and the forces of evil: a man alone, increasingly forced into violence, a puppet manipulated by both sides, his only objective to stop the international conspiracy before it is too late. --- IMPERIAL 109 --- Imperial 109, one of the most beautiful and best loved aircraft ever built, was a flying boat of Britain?s Imperial Airways. In grandeur and luxury she carried mail, cargo and passengers from Durban in South Africa to Cairo, on through Greece and Italy to London and then across the Atlantic to New York. . . . .Captain O?Neill and his crew wage a perpetual battle, not only with the constant danger from weather conditions in the days before reliable navigational aids, but with their own private problems a marriage broken by long periods of separation, haunting fears of a previous crash, the flowering of a new romance. . . . .This particular flight is no less fraught for the passengers. Amongst them, a crooked financier, an Italian nobleman and his beautiful wife whose passion for a mysterious sheik endangers them all, and two Jewish refugees, a father and daughter, hounded across Europe by the Gestapo. Their epic journey traces hazards in the swamps of the Sud, intrigue in the palaces of Egypt and a career on the line on the eve of the Atlantic crossing. All this against a background of vanished luxury and splendor in the final days before World War II. . . . .And even the safety of America is an illusion. On a quiet lake in New England an embittered veteran is readying his fighter for an assault on Imperial 109 and her cargo of gold bullion. . .See photos for additional content. . .
