In the southern New England woods, Eugene Sibbs, descended from an old Yankee line, has nothing left but a few acres, the bunker-like house he has built, and daring ruthlessness. Determined to take control of his world and rise through crime, he likes to drag along his teenage son, Nickie, as his unwilling accomplice. His wife, Vi, who relates to him best through drugs and sex, does not want to know what is going on. At turns, pastoral, violent, and sexual, NEVER A SOLDIER builds through a series of murders until someone in the family decides Eugene must be stopped.

Book Description

The author had enlisted in 1901 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was a reservist when the First World War broke out. He rejoined his old, 2nd Battalion and landed in France with them on 11 August 1914. He went right through the war with the battalion, never missing a battle, winning the D.C.M. and M.M. Here is a typical soldier of the pre-1914 regular army, and this book is a delight, written in his own unpolished manner. Fighting, scrounging, gambling, drinking, dodging fatigues, stolidly enduring bombardment and the hardships of trench warfare, always getting his job done. This is one of the finest of all published memoirs of the Great War, truly a classic of its kind. A tribute to the army that died on the Western Front.

Book Description

In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine police, hostile islanders, and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers, convinced that World War II was still being fought and that one day his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This account of those years is an epic tale of the will to survive that offers a rare glimpse of man's invincible spirit, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. A hero to his people, Onoda wrote down his experiences soon after his return to civilization. This book was translated into English the following year and has enjoyed an approving audience ever since.

Book Description

Every cloud, they say, has a silver lining. If there is one action of India's 1962 fiasco in the Northeast that counts as a moment to treasure, it is the battle of Nuranang. Sikhs, Rajputs, Gorkhas and Garhwalis all fought like tigers. But towering above their stories of courage is a saga of selfless love and indomitable courage. The actors on this brief stage were a Garhwali solider, and two anonymous Monpa girls. This is the story of that legendary soldier, Jaswant Singh Rawat. When Jaswant Singh Rawat arrives in Tawang with his battalion, he is already a hero for his friends and colleagues. But his meeting with the sisters, Sela and Noora, transforms their lives and the history of a nation, in a way rarely seen before. Love blossoms, even as the dogs of war are unleashed. Will Jaswant's love for his Monpa beloved win the day? Are Noora and Sela's pristine affections doomed to be crushed under the boots of a marauding, relentless enemy? Will hate and jealousy triumph, or love conquer?

Book Description

New beginnings are just what the doctor ordered in this riveting tale by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods. As a psychologist, Mallory Blake knew there were times when one had to let go. She also knew just how much it hurt. After her husband’s death, she’d packed up her belongings and moved to San Francisco, wishing it was as easy to box up her memories and seal away her regrets. But she had her patients at the hospital who helped her move forward, patients like six-year-old Davey. The broken little boy needed Mallory—not that his doctor agreed. Mallory had heard the rumors about neurosurgeon Justin Whitmore. She had experienced firsthand his temper, his impossible standards and his undeniable charm. But beneath all of that, Mallory discovered Justin hid an old pain, one she wasn’t sure she could heal. And yet she couldn’t walk away from him. Because there are times when it is right to move on…and times when you take someone’s hand and never let go. Originally published in 1988. Also available from Sherryl Woods: Sweet Magnolias Book 1: Stealing Home Book 2: A Slice of Heaven Book 3: Feels Like Family Book 4: Welcome to Serenity Book 5: Home in Carolina Book 6: Sweet Tea at Sunrise ...and more!
