Auszug: Die UGM-27 Polaris waren strategische Mittelstreckenraketen, welche von Raketen-U-Booten (SSBN) aus abgefeuert werden konnten. Sie waren also „Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles" (SLBM). Sie sind nicht mehr im aktiven Flottendienst und wurden durch die UGM-73 Poseidon ersetzt. Polaris A1 auf der Startrampe in Cape CanaveralDie Entwicklung der Polaris A1 begann 1956 auf Anregung von Admiral Arleigh Burke, nachdem Edward Teller erklärt hatte, es sei möglich, einen atomaren Sprengkopf zu bauen, der klein genug sei, in eine U-Boot-gestützte Rakete zu passen. Am 20. Juli 1960 feuerte die USS George Washington (SSBN-598) als erstes getauchtes U-Schiff eine Rakete vom Typ Polaris A1 und drei Stunden später eine zweite Rakete gleichen Typs ab. Dasselbe Schiff lief am 15. November 1960 mit 16 Polaris A1 beladen zur ersten Patrouillenfahrt mit dem neuen Flugkörper aus. Am 6. Mai 1962 wurde eine Polaris A1 von der USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608) mit scharfem Atomsprengkopf im Rahmen der Übung „Frigate Bird" erfolgreich auf ein Übungsziel abgefeuert. Dies war der einzige vollständige Test eines strategischen Waffensystems der USA vom Abfeuern bis zur nuklearer Detonation. Am 14. Oktober 1965 lief die USS Abraham Lincoln (SSBN-602) die USA zur Überholung an. Im Rahmen...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=334491 ... Read more

Product Description
Helena Saunders has not fallen in love since she was sixteen, not since she defied her father by dating Timmy. Then her father died of a heart attack, and Timmy moved away. Blaming herself for her father's death, Helena buries herself in books, becoming a librarian and sometimes dating Robert Garza, a roughneck in the Odessa, Texas oil fields. But she won't let herself get romantically involved, much to her sister Kathy's dismay. Helena thinks she is happy, that she has everything figured out, until one evening when Frank and Kathy leave for the bolwling alley and a very tall and handsome blond stranger knocks on the door wanting to rent the back room. Suddenly, Helena's world is completely shaken, so mesmerized is she. She finds herself falling in love almost immediately, but it isn't long and she begins to realize that maybe he isn't quite human. ... Read more

Product Description
Liza, Kellyanne and Billie are ambitious heroines chasing their dreams in the demimondes of media politics, reality television and rock music.

Excellent writing... Just too raunchy for comfort!
The author is excellent in his writing skills, but Tan Lines is just smut. I've read novels before that contained sex scenes, but the sex scenes in this book were just too much. They were disgusting and completely perverted at times. If it weren't for the raunchiness of the book, I might rate higher. On the contrary, however, if it weren't for the really excellent story-telling skills of J. J. Salem, I would rate lower. This book, unfortunately, does not deserve its keep on my bookshelf. I am still debating if giving a two star rating is too much.

I had no expectations at all about this book but it was one of the best reads I've had in a long time
I had no expectations at all about this book but it was one of the best reads I've had in a long time. Very, pacey, very sexy and lots of fun but it's not a fluffy read either, it gets you wondering about what's important in life and what really makes a woman happy. The book details the lives of three women; feminist and columnist Liza Pike, Kellyanne Downey wannabee actress and mistress to a rich older man and Billie Shelton, a rock goddess who is on a path of self-destruction. Friends since college the three meet up in the Hamptons for a summer of fun, bitching and partying. The humour and one liners are razor sharp and the story runs like a train. I stormed through this book and wanted more. Definitely recommend.

Pure trash
This was one of the worst books that I've ever read. To put it on a level with Jacqueline Susann is ridiculous. I am ashamed to admit that I read as much as I did, hoping that it would get better. Most of the characters have very little redeeming value and the crudeness of the language was just too much.

Jackie Collins Wannabe
It's obvious from reading the author's website that he wants to be the next Jackie Collins. The problem is he tried way too hard and fell way too short.

There's a difference between a "smut novel" and smut. This was nothing but smut. And while well-written, too much was left hanging and unexplained, which made for a very unsatisfying read.

Depressing Trash
Tan Lines is one of the worst books I've ever read.I was disgusted by the majority of the characters.Apparently the author doesn't realize that his main characters should have some redeeming qualities.Instead he fills Tan Lines with awful people doing reprehensible things.I started the book disliking his characters and story and ended up truly hating both.If you want to waste a couple hours of your life wallowing in depressing filth buy this book.Otherwise steer clear.In the future I will pass over anything written by this author.It's sad, because it's clear that he knows how to write.If he'd dialed back the cynicism and given his characters some basic morals it might have saved the book from being atrocious. ...
