James Hunt and Niki Lauda defined an era in Formula 1 in the 70s. Their battle for the 1976 World Championship is still regarded as one of the most exciting and dramatic in the sport's history. This is the story of that season and much more.

With Lauda's return from life-threatening injuries the stuff of legend and Hunt's last gasp title success bringing a whole new generation of followers previously immune to the sport, the Playboy and the Rat brings that story to life once more.

After that remarkable season, their careers, and their lives, went in almost polar opposite directions, with Lauda becoming the respected elder statesman of the sport. Hunt died at an unseemly age after a life that typified the image of a racing driver.

'The Playboy and the Rat' tells their story from ambition-filled beginnings to the culmination of their dreams and beyond.

The rivalry was made into the film Rush, starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as Hunt and Lauda respectively. If you enjoyed the film, you will love the book.

accurate story about Bradshaw ranch
Format: Paperback
Having listened to online accounts of this ranch, this is an absolutely valid account. Talks about bigfoot, the greys, some angel like positive beings that come out of the portal on this property. They were forced to sell to the government which now owns the ranch. Even though there is a gate people climb it and explore the property. Abandoned ranch house, abandoned western town used in the cowboy films from the 50s-60s. Supposed to be a research project which is just a cover for what the govt is really doing there. Linda Bradshaw has amazing stories which you should read. Photos are why I bought it to see the entities and the orbs etc. Fascinating. Worth the money.

Worth your Money for Linda's Part
Format: Kindle
This book has two parts. Linda's description comes across as sincere and is told in story form as if you were sitting across the table from her having coffee. She is obviously a real person who experienced some extraordinary things. Her co-author may be a great guy but this is one of many books he sells and he doesn't have anything to say that adds to Linda's retelling. Great half a book!

The message of the book is beautiful
Format: Hardcover
The book 'UFO...Contact from the Pleiades (45th Anniversary Edition): Volumes I & II' is characterized by an objective, scientific and factual recapitulation of the physical evidence of the Billy Meier contact case with the Plejaren. In addition to the physical evidence, numerous witness statements and a number of proven predictions are also cited. All these material findings, such as the beautiful photos and films of the beamships in Switzerland, the metal analyses, the audio recordings and the radiation from the landing sites, were examined scientifically by the four-person investigative team from Arizona (which is certainly just as beautiful as Switzerland) using the best scientists and technology of that time in the USA. The authenticity of the case has not been scientifically disproved. The cultural and historical connection of almost all peoples and indigenous peoples with the Plajades on the basis of traditions round off the Plajaren contact case in the book. In addition to all these material, factual, neutral and objective analyses, the author, who lived with her husband Lee Elders on Billy Meier's terrain totaling more than one year over a period of more than seven years, gives the reader every now and then the chance to catch a glimpse of the immaterial factors of the case. And these remain in the memory. For short moments, the beauty of the case's message, occurring at the terrain, twinkles: Such as the immortality of higher values and virtues, the connection of all living beings, which through peace, freedom and love etc. bring themselves together to higher spheres.

This investigation stands the test of time
Format: Hardcover
I have been fascinated by the Billy Meier case ever since I first heard of this case 45 years ago. I have read several books on Billy’s contact experiences. And there have been quesions in my mind about the validity of the case. There are things I cannot explain but I chose to remain open to the possibility. With that being said, I really appreciate the investigative background of Lee and Brit Elders. The photographs, metal samples and recordings given to Lee and Brit Elders really stand the test of time and still quite amazing. This book is intelligently written and I think is beautifully done. The quotes from Semjase are positive and affirming. The photos are astounding and I am happy to have this in my library. I love a book that encourages me to ponder the possibilities.
