Wild Water - Ray Slattery

The waves peaked like WoW and the fights got fiercer on the second leg of Rick and Jonnie's surfari shindig

SURFARI HIGHWAY SERIES #2

FIRST PRINTING 1966

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

Ever tried night surfing at Surfers with a curvey Italian bird?

Jonnie felt the swell beneath his board and looked beyond Maria to the beach, and beyond that. It was strange to see only the lights of the highway breaking the blackness, and the moving headlights of cars silent and ghost-like, flickering. "Let's try this one for size!" And together they cracked an enormous wave.

It was all darkness and dazzle, a black shine of water and the street lights tipping crazily in the distance. The sting of spray at his neck and shoulders and the uncanny life of the board beneath his feet were the only familiar sensations. He thought he heard Maria scream in the smashing thrill of the break as he swept into the beach.

He couldn't see her anywhere.

My God, where is she now, in the wild watery darkness of the night?

The Crucifiers - Carl Ruhen

She had broken their rules and knew she deserved to be punished

SCRIPTS BOOKS No. 6

FIRST PRINTING 1969

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

The Crucifiers were a gang of kids, wild kids who rode motorcycles and lived by their own laws.

Laws, not of the jungle, but of sadistic, perverse outlaws from society.

Their bikes were their lovers and their wives and their passports to power.

The girls who rode with them were possessions less exciting, less respected than their bikes. These girls, forced into promiscuity and a life of loveless sex, had only one function-to belong to the group and to obey its every rule.

When one girl disobeyed, she was nailed to a tree. But that was only the beginning of the horror. She was accused of treachery, of selling out to the cops, and that meant she would die, hard and nasty, when the gang found her again.

In the meantime, she found love with another haunted girl, but that love, like her whole life, was soon nailed to the wall...

"Oh, Rusty," she said. "Rusty, baby". She relaxed her grip and struggled to get her arms around my neck. I lifted her clear of the floor as my mouth found hers. Her lips were open, her tongue sweet and busy. 

"Hm-m-m," she moaned and pulled away slowly after long contact. She said "Now, Rusty, now!"

Rusty Meaghan had been a successful sportsman in college and was a talented musician. But suddenly he went on a mental bender in a 'beat' world of drugs, orgiastic parties, promiscuity-and tragedy.

THE BARRACKS...

that's what the neighbors called the sprawling Old-Law tenement on Manhattan's East Side. Now empty of all but four apartments, it loomed dark and brooding, a magnet for violence while awaiting destruction.

Clem Regan was one of the four occupants of The Barracks. A simple man, Clem never looked for trouble. But trouble came with the teen-aged Elena-and a knife-wielding, vengeful gang. Then Frankie Zitek, an escaped murderer, found The Barracks a perfect hideout from the police.

From then on, the two threads of violence enmeshed Clem with ever-increasing tension, making his life a nightmare of terror.

All the chilling suspense that made Bad Day at Black Rock such a memorable book and movie distinguishes this latest novel by Michael Niall.

Buttons: The Making Of A President - Jamie Mandelkau

SPHERE BOOKS 58041

FIRST PRINTING 1971

LONDON, UK

FIRST PUBLISHED IN HARDBACK BY OPEN GATE BOOKS 1971

WITH EIGHT PAGES OF ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS

This is the true story of Buttons, President of the London Chapter of the Hell's Angels, England, as told to Jamie Mandelkau

Buttons traces the rise of the leader of Britain's Hells Angels from his days as a rocker, through his visit to the United States where he received his Angel colours, to his return and subsequent adventures in Britain. 

It is not a book for the squeamish: Hells Angels are not always gentle, nor does their life style always reflect the accepted norms of society. It is, however, an honest account of one part of the New Culture.
