Ron and his partner are soon in a limelight they never wanted as investigators have them in their sights. The hunt begins. Tracking shipments across Europe and into Belfast, Ron’s deals are nearing completion when things start to go wrong. Unsure of by whom or if they have been betrayed, Ron and his associate find themselves in a battle against time. The investigators move ever closer. Will these criminals get away and win the chase, or will their business deals end in blood?

Conhecido por seu personagem de palco, “Starchild”, Paul Stanley escreveu um livro de memórias emocionante que é uma combinação de revelações pessoais e bravas histórias de guerra sobre os altos e baixos tanto dentro como fora do KISS, uma das maiores bandas de rock do mundo em atividade. Nascido com uma doença chamada microtia (uma deformidade na orelha que causa surdez no lado direito), as experiências traumáticas de infância produziram em Stanley uma vontade de ser bem-sucedido na área mais improvável: a música. Conduzindo o leitor por uma série de eventos que levaram à fundação do KISS, as relações pessoais que ajudaram a moldar sua vida e a dinâmica turbulenta entre os colegas de banda ao longo dos últimos quarenta anos, este livro não deixa ninguém ileso – inclusive o próprio Stanley. Com fotos nunca antes vistas, Uma vida sem máscaras é um retrato vibrante de um homem e da banda que ele ajudou a criar, definir e sustentar. Uma história às vezes honesta e chocante; às vezes engraçada e inspiradora, vista, pela primeira vez, sem nenhuma maquiagem.

The rock icon and co-founder of KISS recounts his turbulent life behind the face paint in this New York Times bestselling memoir. With his onstage persona, the “Starchild”, Paul Stanley made rock & roll history—thrilling countless fans with hard rock anthems and elaborate stage shows. But his famous makeup hid a difficult life. In Face the Music, Stanley shares a gripping blend of personal revelations and gritty war stories about the highs and lows both inside and outside of KISS. Born with a condition called microtia (an ear deformity rendering him deaf on the right side), Stanley''s traumatic childhood experiences produced an inner drive to succeed in the most unlikely of places: music. Taking readers through the series of events that led to the founding of KISS, the personal relationships that helped shape his life, and the dynamics among his bandmates, this book leaves no one unscathed—including Stanley himself. With never-before-seen photos and images throughout, Face the Music is a colorful portrait of a man and the band he helped create, define, and sustain—made larger than life in artfully told stories that are shocking, funny, inspirational, and honest.

I över fyrtio år har Paul Stanley styrt det legendariska rockbandet KISS genom med- och motgångar. Från starten på de små klubbarna i New York till utsålda arenor världen över har han gömt sig under sitt stjärnprydda alter ego Starchild. Ingen har kommit honom in på skinnet. Förrän nu. För första gången öppnar en av rockhistoriens mest tillknäppta stjärnor upp och berättar om sin födelsedefekt och det utanförskap som format honom, om uppväxten i en dysfunktionell familj, om sin terapi och den ensamhet och sociala fobi som han upplevde efter att KISS slagit igenom. Men vi får även följa med i ett liv i sus och dus, där de tillfälliga sexuella förbindelserna blev som en drog och pengarna tycktes kunde köpa allt utom lycka. Under stjärnan är en förvånansvärt insiktsfull och självrannsakande självbiografi från en hyllad och framgångsrik artist som till slut har hittat hem.

Nothin'' to Lose: The Making of KISS (1972-1975) chronicles, for the first time, the crucial formative years of the legendary rock band KISS, culminating with the groundbreaking success of their classic 1975 album Alive! and the smash single "Rock and Roll All Nite," a song that nearly four decades later remains one of rock''s most enduring anthems. Drawing on more than two hundred interviews, the book offers a captivating and intimate fly-on-the-wall account of their launch, charting the struggles and ultimate victories that led them to the threshold of superstardom. Constructed as an oral history, the book includes original interviews with Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss, as well as with producers; engineers; management; record company personnel; roadies; club owners; booking agents; concert promoters; costume, stage, and art designers; rock photographers; publicists; and key music journalists. Many of KISS''s musical contemporaries from the time, most of whom shared concert bills with the band on their early tours, also lend their perspective via new interviews; these include Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, and Ted Nugent, as well as members of Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Rush, Slade, Blue Öyster Cult, Mott the Hoople, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Raspberries, The James Gang, The New York Dolls, Iggy & the Stooges, The Ramones, Suzi Quatro, Argent, and Uriah Heep, among others. The result is an indelible and irresistible portrait of a band on the rise and of the music scene they changed forever.

O cenário musical dos anos 1970 foi marcado pelos homens maquiados e com roupas espalhafatosas. Quando levaram essas características ao extremo, Gene Simmons e Paul Stanley ficaram a um passo de criar o Kiss. Com maquiagem, roupas chamativase botas plataforma se transformaram em figuras paradoxais: cativantes e assustadoras ao mesmo tempo. Simmons virou Demon, e Stanley se tornou Starchild. Aos dois, juntaram-se Space Man (Ace Frehley) e Catman (Peter Criss). Com duas dezenas de discos lançados e 100 milhões de cópias vendidas, o Kiss é praticamente uma instituição do rock. Em mais de 40 anos de carreira, seu legado parece inesgotável, e sua legião de fãs, inacabável. Para explicar o Kiss, o jornalista Ken Sharp, com a colaboração de Stanley e Simmons, vasculhou o passado atrás de material exclusivo e histórias inéditas. E descobriu muito. Mais de 200 entrevistas depois, o resultado é Nothin'' To Lose, um relato íntimo e original sobre os passos iniciais da banda que conseguiu reinventar o rock. O livro narra, pela primeira vez e com detalhes notáveis, os anos de formação do Kiss, entre 1972 e 1975, culminando com seu primeiro grande sucesso, o lançamento do álbum Alive! e do hino Rock and Roll All Nite. Construído como um bate-papo, Nothin'' To Lose inclui entrevistas com Ace Frehley e Peter Criss, bem como com produtores, engenheiros de som, roadies, proprietários de clubes e outras figuras importantes do meio musical. Artistas contemporâneos do Kiss também nos brindam com seus relatos: Alice Cooper, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Noddy Holder (Slade), entre outros.

JOINT WINNER OF THE BRITISH INSURANCE LAW ASSOCIATION BOOK PRIZE 2012 This is the second, revised edition, of what has become and was described by the English Court of Appeal in C v D as the standard work on Bermuda Form excess insurance policies. The Form, first used in the 1980s, covers liabilities for catastrophes such as serious explosions or mass tort litigation and is now widely used by insurance companies. It is unusual in that it includes a clause requiring disputes to be arbitrated under English procedural rules in London but, surprisingly, subject to New York substantive law. This calls for a rare mix of knowledge and experience on the part of the lawyers involved, each of whom will also be required to confront the many differences between English and US legal culture. A related feature of the Form is that the awards of arbitrators are confidential and not subject to the scrutiny of the courts. Therefore, while many lawyers have been involved in litigating on the Bermuda Form their knowledge remains locked away. The Bermuda Form is thus not well understood, a situation not helped by the lack of publications dealing with it. Accordingly, those required to deal with the Form professionally are confronted with a lengthy and complex document, but with very little to aid their understanding of it. This unique and comprehensive work offers a detailed commentary on how the Form is to be construed, its coverage, the substantive law to be applied, the limits of liability, exceptions, and, of course, the procedures to be followed during arbitration proceedings in London. This is a book which will prove invaluable to lawyers, risk managers, and executives of companies which purchase insurance on the Bermuda Form, and clients, lawyers or arbitrators involved in disputes arising therefrom. ''...deserves to be in the library of anyone who is, or is contemplating becoming, a party to a Bermuda Form arbitration...The authors, whom we have been associated with in some cases and opposed in others, have a wealth of experience with the Bermuda Form and the ability to share that experience with their readers in a clear and engaging style.'' From the foreword by Thomas R Newman and Bernard Eder QC
