Or someone even more frightening?.

Into Hot Air: Another "Novel" by Chris Elliott
From Emmy Award-winning comedian and bestselling author Chris Elliott, a brilliantly funny and original comic spoof that takes on the classic survival adventures With his debut novel, Chris Elliott delivered a laugh-out-loud parody that delighted mystery lovers as well as his many devoted fans. The Shroud of the Thwacker was thrilling, witty, and zany, earning high praise from critics and audiences alike. Now Elliott returns with Into Hot Air, a wild and hilarious sendup of epic adventure tales that also takes aim at disaster movies, celebrity activism, and reality TV shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race. For decades the world has credited renowned explorer Sir Edmund Hillary with being the first person to reach the peak of Mount Everest. But was he? Evidence to the contrary arrives one day on the doorstep of Chris Elliott -- an anonymous package that contains the diary of his Great Uncle Percy Brackett Elliott, an adventurer (and raving loony) who mysteriously disappeared decades ago while climbing Everest. The diary seems to indicate that Percy -- not Hillary -- was the first person to reach the peak. By retracing Percy’s journey, Chris believes he will be able to uncover the mystery behind his disappearance and perhaps once and for all determine who was really the first person to summit Everest. Chris recruits an all-star cast of celebrities to join (and fund) the epic adventure. For three days and five nights the group endures the ravages of hurricane force winds, blinding blizzards, bitter temperatures, and at least one guy’s insufferable, off-key singing. But the amateur climbers soon discover that they are battling more than just nature’s elements. An uproarious, page-turning tale, Into Hot Air is unlike anything readers have ever encountered..

Anytime, Baby! Hail and Farewell to the U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat
For the past two years, while the sun was setting on the iconic F-14 Tomcat, aviation photographer and author Erik Hildebrandt has been capturing the final defining moments of the few remaining F-14 squadrons in the US Navy Fighter community. Anytime, Baby! is an unforgettable collection of final-phase Tomcat milestones captured and preserved forever in some of the most detailed and dynamic photographic compositions Hildebrandt has ever attempted. From riding along with VF-211, the last squadron to ever fly the F-14A, to flying with VF-32 on the last deployment of the F-14B in the Arabian Gulf in 2005, Hildebrandt has been witness to the end of an era. Anytime, Baby! is an important historic record as much as it is an artistic and beautiful tribute to the most popular American fighter in history. A true "must-have" addition for the aviation enthusiasts as well as former and current Navy and Marine Corp service personnel. .
