Condition: Fine. Tight, clean and unmarked-23.1 x 15.2 x 2.5 cm-" Honorary Lieutenant General Richard Rohmer is a Canadian aviator, lawyer, adviser, author, historian and arguably one of the most decorated and revered members of the Canadian armed forces who ever donned the uniform. His extraordinary thriller, STARMAGEDDON, is a geopolitical potboiler guaranteed to curl the toes of every reader and remind us how narrowly we escaped the 20th century with our world intact and how razor-sharp the knife edge is on which the world walks even today.-Dateline 2000: The Kremlin in a paranoid Russia has its hackles up and bristling as the USA completes successful testing and puts the finishing touches on Ronald Reagan's orbital Strategic Defense System (SDS). The South Korean government is offended that the American government has taken them to task for shouldering an insufficient portion of the bill for Asian defense. The president is also about to sign a new bill slashing auto imports from South Korea with a view to reducing a skewed trade deficit. (Gee does this sound familiar at all?) The VP is delegated to make a personal visit to South Korea to soothe the ruffled feathers. The brown stuff hits the proverbial fan when her flight wanders into a Soviet weapons testing range as a result of a manual error loading incorrect coordinates for the computer's take-off position into the navigational computer.-The tension in Rohmer's STARMAGEDDON is palpable and no reader will be able to escape the urgent necessity to turn pages. I frantically needed to see if the protagonists in Rohmer's imagined confrontation could find the wisdom and courage to stand down or if they would somehow pull the world over the brink into a catastrophically destructive nuclear exchange and all-out World War III. Folks, this is truly gripping stuff and it isn't mere hyperbole to say that my stomach was in knots as I moved from one event to the next one ? each getting closer to that all-out nuclear exchange!"-Paul Weiss.…

CONTENTS: Preface; ONE Myself; TWO Father; THREE Brother; FOUR Friend; FIVE Myself Revisited; Appendix I The Fathers Who Begat Us; Appendix II Pre-1940 Public-School Education in Ontario. SYNOPSIS: Grace Irwin has had a career varied and independent enough to satisfy any feminist: as classicist, teacher, novelist, lecturer, play-director, amateur actress, pastor, and ordained minister; also home-maker, cook, baker, and party-giver. Here, however, her aim is to pay tribute to others, as she writes with disarming admiration and warmth in prise of three men whose lives and personalities contributed largely to her own: two John Irwins--one her farther, the other her brother, well known for his achievements in forestry and publishing--and Herbert Harold Kent, architect and pastor. She relates the intertwining of their lives and hers in highly readable, often pungent, prose. Herself completely and joyfully feminine, she nonetheless resents the current downgrading of the Male Fact--a theme that runs through this lively, celebratory memoir. Grace Irwin was born in 1907 in Toronto, youngest of five children of John Irwin and Martha Fortune. She received her secondary-school education at Parkdale Collegiate Institute before proceeding to Victoria College at the university of Toronto. To an Honour BA in Classics with standing in Honour English, she added an MA in Greek drama and philosophy, from the University of Toronto. She is the author of six widely read novels. Her third novel, In Little Place, reflects her attitudes and experiences during thirty-nine years of teaching, all but one of them at Humberside Collegiate. Her British roots, her love of history, above all her identification with individuals living or dead--these help create the vivid pictures of John Newton and Lord Shaftesbury respectively, in her historical novels Servant of Slaves and The Seventh Earl. And new discoverers of her Andrew Connington trilogy, written over a period of thirty years, testify to the undated reality of her hero. "There was an Andrew Connington, wasn't there?" is the question still most frequently asked by male readers. Some years after retirement in 1969, the unexpectedly found herself co-pastor, then pastor, of her church in West Toronto, where she was ordained by the Christian congregational Conference of Ontario in 1980.
