The End of an Era: my story of the L-1011
In 1994 James West retired as President and Chief Executive Officer of Lockheed Finance Corporation after 27 years with Lockheed Corporation. Prior to joining Lockheed he had completed a year of post graduate study in business after receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Psychology from UCLA. Converting from the skills learned in business -- letter and report writing, speeches and presentations -- to fiction writing took some time. He started with an appreciation for the paper back novel. An appreciation garnered from traveling extensively throughout the world for over 25 years. Long flights between time zones gave him ample opportunity to develop a sense about fiction.  Morality One is his ideal. Start with an known fact -- Saddam Hussein has biological weapons. Bring together a team to uncover and destroy the most threatening and powerful weapon in his arsenal - dedicated, young and old, male and female, and rich. Add action and excitement and conclude with an ending that will shock you.
