Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Joe Capino is a member of the Mafia, but he doesn't believe in violence. He owns a pizza shop and a number of apartment buildings legitimately, and he's conflicted by his participation in hijackings that involve beatings and by the unrelenting incidents of revenge between competing underworld factions.The book opens after Joe has been forced to join in the murder of his best friend, who had stolen from the mob by skimming off the weekly loan sharking receipts. Joe is consumed by guilt, and by resentment of the mob boss, Gabone, for having forced his involvement in the hit - a conflict that grows throughout the story. Gabone, a violent Old-World type, becomes increasingly aware of Joe's hatred of him and is inclined to whack him. But Joe's father, Pedro, always steps into derail Gabone's ire. Pedro, a retired mob member. Is close to Gabone, because both came from the same small town in Sicily.Joe, meanwhile, consumed by his hatred, schemes with his live-in buddy, Carmen, to bring in a hit man from Chicago to eliminate Gabone. But in the end he changes his mind because he can't stomach killing. He and Carmen do. However, burn down a competing pizza joint that's hurting Joe's own pizza business. Carmen and Joe are close, but there's an underlying tension between them. Carmen is jealous of Joe and feels, rightly. That Joe frequently calls on him for help without giving him fair compensation or looking out for his future.The main vice in Joe's life is women. He maintains a stable of them by pretending (to them) that each is his only love. He visits each one weekly, spends about an hour satisfying his sexual needs, and then departs quickly, using a weak business excuse. Emotionally. He's unaffected by any of them - except for the girlfriend of his younger brother Dom, whom he gets involved with even after promising the brother he would stay away from her - a romance that causes a devastating upheaval in the family.That girl's name is Marcy. As a way of getting close to Marcy, Joe becomes friendly with Marcy's father, Charlie, whom he then grows fond of for his wisdom. Intelligence, and integrity. Charlie, and engineer. Ends up helping Joe build a palatial dream home out of four row homes Joe purchases in South Philadelphia. Learning of this new relationship in Joe's life, Gabone becomes suspicious. He doesn't want Joe associating closely with a non-member and a Jew. Fearful that Charlie is learning the secrets of the Mafia, Gabone has Charlie beaten so badly that he ends up hospitalized.Incensed, Joe secretly reports the incident to the Godfather in New York, who promptly comes down to Philadelphia and holds a meeting with the Philadelphia contingent. Gabone, denounced for his outdated violent ways. Is thrown out as leader, and - to everyone's amazement - Joe, a symbol of the new, nonviolent, business - oriented mob. Is named to take his place. Gabone leaves the meeting with his henchmen, vowing revenge.Gabone settles in West Philadelphia, where he builds up a gang that competes with Joe for mob business. Eventually the tension between them comes to a head and Joe and Carmen again plot to destroy Gabone.Joe's live - in buddy Carmen, who does building demolition for one of the mob's businesses. Is an expert in explosives. He tells Joe of a newly developed detonator that can be triggered at a distance. All they have to do is plant the explosives within Gabone's various buildings. Then detonate the charges from across town.Joe likes the idea. After conducting some tests. He and Carmen sneak over to West Philadelphia and plant the charges in Gabone's building complex. The two escape back to Joe's South Philadelphia castle and Joe. Exhausted, falls asleep. Carmen a.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This story assumes that a human head frozen cryogenically in the year 1999 will be retrieved in the year 2240 by the advanced science of the times. Furthermore, this head placed in a nourishing liquid will grow and extend all the necessary limbs and organs to complete a fully developed human being.Mark, the main character in the story reaches the age of eighty, suffers from the debilitating pains of arthritis and begins to plan his death by seeking out the institution that freezes heads and promises to resurrect the individual hundreds of years later when the science is available.Mark's daughter overlooks the icing of the head in a small hospital and accompanies the body to the plane that transports her father to Arizona where the head will be severed, injected with protective fluids and placed in a vessel surrounded by cryogenic chemicals.Forty years later, Judy, the daughter of Mark, has her head frozen and joins her father at the Alcor institution directly above his container.After a couple hundred years when the science is successful, Mark is removed, placed inside an incubator, surrounded by a nourishing liquid, and grows each day until a complete human body develops and is ready for birth. Mark is removed from the artificial womb, placed on a stretcher and revived in the year 2240.He quickly learns that he is a victim of an elite society controlled by a group of privileged authorities who keep most of the society in a pleasant socialistic state of minimum employment with enough food to keep them content without enjoying the luxuries reserved for the elite. Mark objects to this planned economy and also learns that the revived bodies are being used for experimental purposes.In a short period of time, his daughters, Judy is reborn and joins him in great jubilation. To avoid the surgical experiments used on the revivers to learn to extend life, Mark contacts the head of the medical team, Doctor Granoff, and offers to demonstrate the psychic power that Judy and he can produce.The auditorium is fulled to capacity with elite research scientist. Judy rises above the floor, floats around the room while the witnesses gaze upon this miracle with amazement. Doctor Granoff's curiosity is stimulated and suggests that Mark and Judy teach him the principles behind this unique phenomenon. The doctor is eager to learn to travel instantly from the earth to other planets. At the present time space travel is endless and takes years, at the speed of light, to reach other worlds.For the present, Mark and Judy avoid deep surgery despite the continuous experiments on the other revivers.Doctor Granoff is not satisfied with the progress of the psychic investigation and loses patience. He captures Judy, opens up her head but finds nothing to help him. Mark is enraged by the doctor's aggression and calls upon the psychic intelligence to help him. This hidden voice that only Judy can read on the wall, promises to punish the doctor for infringing upon the innocent Judy. The intelligence directs Mark to present Doctor Grandoff with an award before the scientific community. Then Mark should call upon him for an acceptance speech.A large scientific group is gathered for the honor. The president delivers the speech honoring the doctor who then stands before the microphone. He accepts the medal of honor, thanks the audience and suddenly vanishes from the platform. At first the audience thinks that the doctor is displaying his magic, but his permanent disappearance puzzles the witnesses. The doctor has been removed to another world. At some later point in time, the doctor informs Mark that he lives in another dimension.…
