The Tiger Aamong Us - Leigh Brackett

BOARDMAN 200

LONDON, UK

FIRST PRINTING 1958

COVER ART BY MCLOUGHLIN

Walter Sherris - successful, happy, good husband and father-made just one mistake: he took a walk along a dark road one night. Without warning, a car raced toward him and screeched to a stop; out piled five young men intent on violence. To the accompaniment of wild brainless laughter, Walter Sherris was beaten to the ground.

He awoke in a hospital nine days later. And from that moment his pleasant life became a nightmare, more horrible than those he had wrestled with in those nine days of unconsciousness.

Walter Sherris wanted revenge: for the broken leg and the pain; for the doubts he now had about his pretty, gay wife; and for the countless and nameless others who had been mauled by the thrill seekers, the sadists, the compulsive slayers.

The police were evasive, almost disinterested. There were no witnesses. So Walter Sherris set out-alone-to trap the tiger.

JAZZ BOY

Vic Ravenna was a guy who had everything-the jazz that burned fiercely through his brain and body, the best booze, plenty of dames, everything-

-everything except Zora, the brazen beauty who teased him, laughed at him, and then fed her ambitions on the offerings of other men. Zora wanted fun and money and fame-but she wanted them without Vic.

Vic knew what Zora was. But he didn't care. He had to have her, and he vowed to do anything, anything at all, to get her...

REMEMBER THE MODS?

This is the novel behind the WHO's conceptual rock album "QUADROPHENIA", the story of the mods and rockers of the early sixties, now a stunning new film.

QUADROPHENIA

They were dedicated to fashion, music and pills. They created the 'Style', followed the WHO, the SMALL FACES and the STONES, rode polished Lambrettas and assembled in their thousands to fight.

By 1964, the year of the Brighton riots, the mods had revolutionised a whole generation...

THIS IS A PICTURE OF HARLAN ELLISON

and Rockabilly is a picture of his world. A world populated by The Hungry Ones - the beautiful women and talented guys who leech off one another - and the populace in general - to make their fast buck. It's a universe in which a kid who knows the angles can become a national institution, where talent doesn't count as much as a good press and a C-note under the table.  The acetate arena where a long-playing bum can sing gibberish and coin a fortune.

Rockabilly is written in the hip, contemporary manner of a brilliant young writer who will shock and amuse you, and who sees beyond the neon glitter of the image merchant's dreamworld.

SHE GREW UP TOO FAST...

She was young, blonde and beautiful-a smouldering package of feminine dynamite in a body too mature for her years...

She was one of the crowd who grew up too fast, who defy death for the casual "thrill" of it, who are out for "kicks" at any price...

Disturbing and boldly realistic, HOT ROD GANG RUMBLE is an incisive portrait of a "hot rod club" -and the slick chick who stirred it to violence and destruction!

Run Baby Run - Nicky Cruz

HODDER AND STOUGHTON 340 10700 6

LONDON, UK 

FIRST PRINTING 1969

JACKET DESIGN BY BERNARD BRETT

Nicky Cruz was a key subject in the four million copy best-seller THE CROSS AND THE SWITCHBLADE

In Run Baby Run Nicky tells his own story of gang warfare in the streets of a big city and of his dramatic conversion.

'I reached up to the shelf and took down my revolver. By force of habit I started to put the shells in the magazine so I could sleep with the gun on my night stand. But suddenly I remembered. Jesus loves me. He will protect me. I took the bullets and placed them back in the small box and put the gun back on the shelf. In the morning I would turn it in to the police.

That night, for the first time in my memory, I put my head on my pillow and slept nine beautiful hours. No fear of sounds outside my room. The nightmares were gone.'

'Run Baby Run, the story of Nicky Cruz, is remarkable. It has all the elements of tragedy, violence, and intrigue - plus the greatest ingredient of all ingredients:the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The adult population can no longer ignore the youth with their staggering twentieth century problems. They search for meaning. They are not enamoured with our time-worn social taboos. They press for sincerity in religion, for honesty in politics, and for fairness for the underprivileged.

Run Baby Run is a thrilling story. My hope is that it shall have a wide reading, and that those who read shall come to know Christ who changed the empty, restless heart of Nicky Cruz and has made him a Christian legend in his time.'

BILLY GRAHAM

'Nicky Cruz is only a very colourful representative of a vast number of people who, in the past few decades, have been delivered from crime, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, homosexuality, and almost every kind of perversion and degeneration known to man.

Psychiatric care, medical treatment, and spiritual counselling had failed to affect these people, when with astounding abruptness, they were set free from their bonds by the power of the Holy Spirit and led to a life of useful service.'

Prof. Edward D. O'Connor,

University of Notre Dame
