Synopsis

When an airport screener refuses to be used as a patsy and defiantly challenges a wicked witch of the agency, she becomes the target of the axles of evil whom won't stop at anything to bring her down while annihilating her in the minds of those around her. The screener relies solely upon God when those around her began to betray her and plots ultimately lead to her being portrayed as a terror suspect. Through dreams and visions, she is given insight of many dangers that lie ahead and is empowered to stay one step ahead of the game. Along with describing the day to day typical landscape of airport screening and the challenges it brings, Carmen Jones exposes it for what it really is - the good, the bad, and the ugly. The author is only interested in the bottom line, whether you like it or not. And she will stop at nothing to uncover the bottom line. This memoir is part cagey spin, part autobiography and part payback hit job. You won't need a boarding pass, nor will you need to arrive one hour early in order to board this bumpy ride. This sizzler packs a mean punch, chocked full of satire and a side of brash commentary. Once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. And when you do, your palms and fingers may be singed from having beheld such a hot read - fire extinguishers sold seperately. Buckle your seat belts and make sure that your oxygen masks are in arm's reach because this tantalizing tale will make you think that you may have crashed and burned.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

John Gouriet was born in London in 1935 and educated at Charterhouse. His father was a WWI fighter pilot and his mother the daughter of an eminent organist at Winchester Cathedral. An all-round sportsman, John was commissioned into the 15th/19th Hussars from Sandhurst and joined his regiment on active service in Malaya in 1956. He also served in N. Ireland and Germany, in the Horn of Africa and Gulf with the Somaliland and Trucial Oman Scouts, on the staff in Borneo and London (MOD). He passed high out of the Staff College Camberley where he was recommended for Directing Staff as Lt. Col. but was headhunted into a City merchant bank. He joined the McWhirter twins to co-found the Freedom association, plus several other organisations and although active in business, for the last 35 years he has been constantly vigilant in the courts and in public campaigning at home and abroad to uphold the British Constitution, the rule of law, self-governance and freedom of the individual. He led the activist vanguard which resulted in Margaret Thatcher's first victory in 1979 and uniquely defeated the Attorney General in the 'Gouriet Case' in which Lord Denning, the presiding judge pronounced "Be you never so high the law is above you" He has had published a factional novel "Checkmate Mr. President!" based on a game of global chess to emphasise the West's lack of strategic minerals and vulnerability during the 1980s and contributed to a book of essays on freedom, as well as many articles and broadcasts. John Gouriet is married and lives with his wife, Sarah, in Wiltshire. They have three married sons and seven grandchildren. He still campaigns vigorously against EU absorption of our nation and political malpractice as his compilation of letters in "Hear Hear!" reveals.
