""Lords and Masters"" is a play written by James Byrne and originally published in 1911. The play is set in England during the early 20th century and explores the themes of social class, power, and corruption. The story centers around the wealthy and powerful Masters family, who are determined to maintain their position of privilege and control over their workers, despite growing unrest and dissatisfaction among the lower classes. The play follows the struggles of the workers as they attempt to organize and fight for their rights, and the Masters family's attempts to maintain their grip on power. The play is divided into three acts and features a cast of characters that includes both members of the upper and lower classes, each with their own motivations and desires. ""Lords and Masters"" is a powerful commentary on the social and economic inequalities of the time, and remains a relevant and thought-provoking work of literature today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

In this sequel to the highly praised The Gatekeeper, Dez Limerick, one of the best new thriller heroes returns.Desmond Aloysius Limerick ("Dez" to his friends and close personal enemies) is a man with a shadowy past, certain useful hard-won skills, and, if one digs deep enough, a reputation as a good man to have at your back.

Dez Limerick, a man of many skills and a murky past, faces the impossible-a skilled, deadly opponent who anticipates his every move in James Byrne's Chain Reaction.Desmond Aloysius Limerick ("Dez" to his friends and close personal enemies) is a man with a shadowy past, certain useful hard-won skills, and, if one digs deep enough, a reputation as a good man to have at your back. He was trained as a "gatekeeper"-he can open any door, keep it open as long as necessary, and control who does-and does not-go through. Now retired from his previous life, Dez still tries to keep his skills up to date.Knocking around the country, picking up the occasional gig as a guitarist, Dez is contacted by a friend in urgent need of his musical skills. At his behest, Dez flies to the East Coast to a gig at the brand new massive complex, the Liberty Center. But he's barely landed before he finds himself in the midst of a terrorist attack, a group has taken over the whole center and thousands of hostage lives are in danger. With the semi-willing help of a talented thief, Dez takes on the impossible task of outfighting and outwitting a literal army. But that's just the beginning, as Dez learns he was actually lured there under false pretenses, by someone who knows more about Dez, his past and his skills than any living person should.
