Search and Destroy
Author(s): Tom Clancy
Clarkson is back, with "The Top Gear Years" - a volume of his columns for BBC "Top Gear" Magazine. Never before collected, these hilarious columns will delight fans of Jeremy Clarkson's previous books, "How Hard Can It Be?" and "Round the Bend". We now know all about the world according to Clarkson. In a series of bestselling books Jeremy has revealed it to be a puzzling, frustrating place where all too often the lunatics seem to be running the asylum. But in "The Top Gear Years", we get something rather different. Because ten years ago, at an ex-RAF aerodrome in Surrey, Jeremy and his friends built a world that was rather more to his liking: they called it Top Gear HQ. And Top Gear is for Jeremy what the jungle is for Tarzan: the perfect place to work and play. But they didn't stop there. With this corner of Surrey sorted out, Jeremy and the boys decided to have a crack at the rest of the world. With "Top Gear Live" charging through with the subtlety of a touring heavy rock band and far flung outposts across the globe from North America to China - an empire of petrol-headed upon which the sun never set. And all along Jeremy was writing about it all.
Here, collected between hard covers for the first time, are the fruits of his labours: the cars, the hijinx, the pleasure and the pain. Brilliantly written and laugh out loud funny, "The Top Gear Years" is Clarkson at his pithy, provocative, hilarious best. Praise for Jeremy Clarkson: "Very funny. A joy. Full of gems". ("Daily Telegraph"). Jeremy Clarkson began his writing career on the Rotherham Advertiser. Since then he has written for the "Sun", "The Sunday Times", "The Rochdale Observer", "The Wolverhampton Express" & "Star", all of the Associated Kent Newspapers and "Lincolnshire Life". Today he is the tallest person working in British television.

Thirty years ago, Tom Clancy was a Maryland insurance broker with a passion for naval history. Years before, he had been an English major at Baltimore's Loyola College and had always dreamed of writing a novel. His first effort, The Hunt for Red October, sold briskly as a result of rave reviews, then catapulted onto the New York Times bestseller list after President Reagan pronounced it "the perfect yarn." Since then Clancy has established himself as an undisputed master at blending exceptional realism and authenticity, intricate plotting, and razor-sharp suspense. Peter Telep is a New York Times-bestselling author who has written almost forty novels spanning many genres, including science fiction, fantasy, military action/adventure, and medical drama, and film, television, and video game tie-ins. A produced screenwriter of both live action and animation, he teaches creative writing, fiction writing, and scriptwriting courses at the University of Central Florida.
