Join the Pulp Revival - America in the 1930s and '40s

Pulp Fiction was in its heyday and 30 million readers were regularly riveted by the larger-than-life tales of master storyteller L. Ron Hubbard. For this was pulp fiction's Golden Age, when the writing was raw and every page packed a walloping punch.

That magic can now be yours. An evocative world of nefarious villains, exotic intrigues, courageous heroes and heroines-a world of that today's cinema has barely tapped for tales of adventure and swashbucklers.

"The stories were driven by plot and character, with grand heroes, terrible villains, beautiful damsels (often in distress), diabolical plots, amazing places, breathless romances." -- Kevin J. Anderson

Get into the action by downloading the stories of Golden Age in Pulp Fiction from Kitabe.com.

Halo: First Strike

Eric Nylund weaves his mastery in tale-telling again. Halo: First Strike is the third in the most popular science fiction Halo series. The scenery is bleak. The evil forces of Covenant have succeeded in wiping out sentient life and destroying Halo, the distant planet. Thousands of brave soldiers have shed their lives. The entire planet is strewn with debris but the alien enemy soldiers are unrelenting in their patrol of the planet.

There is only one person who has got some chance of standing up against Covenant and his brutal force intent on wiping out humanity. The lone survivor of the ‘super soldiers’ known as SPARTANs is Captain Keyes, affectionately called as Master Chief. He has got the unenviable work of looking for survivors, rescuing them, and assembling them into some kind of force that can fight the mighty alien force. The voyage through this mighty gauntlet is the most dangerous the Master Chief would ever undertake. The only help he has got at his side is the powerful artificial intelligence of his cruiser, Cortana. Even this proves insufficient at times against the highly dangerous army of the brutal enemy, Covenant. The Master Chief is forced to rely on his instinct and draw upon his vast experience of the past to devise strategies. However, he is a very determined man and with the motley group helping him, takes the fight to the enemy. He launches a first strike that is decisive in bringing victory to humanity against an enemy that is resolute in wiping out humanity.

This electrifying science fiction is available now as Halo MP3 for download at Kitabe.com, along with the other two books, Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: The Flood.

In a daring operation, the Master Chief crashes into the dreaded planet of Halo, built by a race that died a long time ago. Halo is teeming with a massive Covenant occupation.

Halo: The Fall of Reach

Halo, the mysterious, artificial, and ancient world is the final resort of the Master Chief, the surviving SPARTAN in the war with the brutal Covenant. He is an important member of the small group of ‘super soldiers’, who go under the code-name SPARTANs. They are the advanced warriors of the planet Reach. They are a group specially bioengineered to be the best in the universe. They had been technologically augmented to be totally professional, operate in a quiet manner but be completely deadly in their strike.

The planet Reach is the last military outpost at the Earth’s doorstep, when the dreaded Covenant marches unhindered through space, with the sole intention of wiping out humanity everywhere. In this desperate, take-no-prisoners all out war against Covenant raging in Halo, a distant plant, the Halo story takes you through the exciting moments in the glorious but doomed battle, with Master Chief, the lone survivor from another legendary battle, remaining the only hope for humanity. This war would not only prevent the efforts of Covenant in leading the humans into an intergalactic war that would wipe out humanity but would also prevent the evil forces from learning the location of earth. The encounters with the powerful alien enemy by the small band of committed super soldiers, who would not hesitate to kill and be killed, are gripping to the core, to say the least.

Halo: The Fall of Reach, the epic featuring the ultimate war of the handful of SPARTANs against the evil forces of Covenant, is available now for download as Halo MP3 of 11 hours non-stop adventure at Kitabe.com. Here is your chance to buy this Halo story book and the other two books available in this Halo book series.

Top 10 Christian Audio Book Downloads

It may be too early to think about Christmas, but there is no better time than now (considering the economic conditions) for a spiritual download. One way to get spiritually aligned is to download audio books to your iPod or MP3 player and plug it into your car while you are on the road. One of my favorite audio book is the KJV Bible recorded by Eric Martin. When you listen to a bible on the road, you don't have to start from the beginning, skip to any chapter and listen to it for 10 minutes and then reflect on it. That's all it takes and your day will go by stress free.

One of the popular audio book downloads is the Faith Based Fiction category at Kitabe.com with 100's of titles available for download. The top fictional author is Tim LaHaye with the Left Behind series followed by Frank Peretti.

In life we always have choices, the little choices we make, will make up who we are as an individual. We can let our commute dictate us or we can take control of it by listening to something inspirational. The Christian audio books have many good books in self help (relationships, family, money, Christian living), bible helps (bibles, bibles studies, topical studies) , audio books for children and most of all riveting fiction stories from CBA bestselling authors Ted Dekker, Randy Alcorn and Beth Moore

Assuming the sale by Tim Mulcahy

In order to achieve an extremely high closing ratio in sales you must assume the outcome of your presentations will be as you desire. Assuming the sale means that right from the beginning and all the way thru the process you believe and remain committed to achieving the goal you set.

To become a Sales Superstar you must create a script designed with the purpose of closing the sale with ease every time. Closing on the first call is usually the best case scenario in selling. In certain cases a sale may require a few contacts based on the complexity of the solution offered, however it is essential that each presentation closes the prospect into moving to the next desired step.

All the fundamentals of a perfect presentation work synergistically and are essential in closing sales at a high ratio. Assumption at the close is a pivotal moment of truth and usually this is the step in the sales process that separates the Superstars from the average sales representatives. Assuming at the close involves using a strategic question and proper body language. A powerful and effective technique is to break eye contact and ask a question that implies the agreement. For example you could ask for the spelling of the name of the person or organization as you break eye contact and begin to right the order. Like most new habits it may seem unnatural and tense initially, however over time this will become second nature. Based on your specific selling situation you will need to develop a similar type of close that leverages the power of assumption. Continued...
