Book Description

From the initial rigors of Parris Island to actual combat conditions at Guadalcanal—here is an enlisted man’s true, firsthand account of what it was like to be a Marine during World War II. Here are the fears, the moments of triumph and joy, the gamut of emotions in those facing danger and death on the battlefield. Here is the true story of a long, cruel, holding operation...fought with too little equipment and too few men. Avoiding overdose horror themes, bedroom scenes, and needless profanity, T. Grady Gallant reveals the innermost thoughts and experiences of a band of rough and rugged men—the men of the First Division, Fleet Marine Force, who invaded Guadalcanal and won for America her first land victory of World War II. “A great book”—Leon Uris “A fine, rare book”—Burke Davis “A book all Marines will enjoy”—Robert Sherrod

Book Description

Multiple award–winning author R. Garland Grey brings you the charming, magical Faery Faith Series. Predestined Bryna is an orphan slave in the fortress of a Roman invader, her only friend an ancient, blind Druidess, Derina, who tells her she must rescue the prisoner in the dungeon. Tynan lies naked, chained to a cold, stone slab, tortured by the Sorcerer, evil ally of the Roman lord, who seeks to discover if he might be the Dark Chieftain, the fulfiller of prophecy. Deeper in the dungeon, trapped by magical enchantment, are the faeries who await their liberator. The Dark Chieftain awaits a destiny of his own—mating with the territorial goddess, a union that will set the land and many lives aright. First he must gain his freedom and find her. Fey Born Lana is a frail farm girl magically fated to be a fey host for the sword spirit Valor. When the magical sword is stolen from the vaults of Tara, the faery home, Keegan, a fearless fey guardian of the waters, must find it for his king. Keegan never expects to meet his match in the small, spirited beauty he needs to guide him to the sword. Lana must find the strength to face her mysterious fate and claim a guardian’s heart. White Fells Boyden, a warrior of the Tuatha De Danann, is one of the few born of the idir, the between. With the power to summon the bringer of death in the form of a fey wind, he could kill an invader seeking vengeance for a wrongful death—and all living creatures—but he vows to find another way. Princess Scota, a confident warrior princess, does not believe in anything fey until she meets her people’s latest captive, Boyden, a proud male whose defiant nature she cannot tame. In a twist of fate, she becomes captive instead of captor. In a land covered in blood, the two battle for a truce between their warring people.

Book Description

The many con men, gangsters, and drug lords portrayed in popular culture are examples of the dark side of the American dream. Viewers are fascinated by these twisted versions of heroic American archetypes, like the self-made man and the entrepreneur. Applying the critical skills he developed as a Shakespeare scholar, Paul A. Cantor finds new depth in familiar landmarks of popular culture. He invokes Shakespearean models to show that the concept of the tragic hero can help us understand why we are both repelled by and drawn to figures such as Vito and Michael Corleone or Walter White. Beginning with Huckleberry Finn and ending with The Walking Dead, Cantor also uncovers the link between the American dream and frontier life. In imaginative variants of a Wild West setting, popular culture has served up disturbing—and yet strangely compelling—images of what happens when people move beyond the borders of law and order. Cantor demonstrates that, at its best, popular culture raises thoughtful questions about the validity and viability of the American dream, thus deepening our understanding of America itself.

The First Starfighter - 1 Starfighter Training Academy. It was just a game. The newest, hottest video game release of the year. Choose a role. Build the perfect hero who joins you on missions to save the Vega star system from the evil Queen Raya and her merciless Dark Fleet. Play for hours? Check. Obsess over the in-game romance between your avatar and the sexiest alien you've ever seen? Check. Win? Beat the heck out of the game? Check and check. Open your door at 3:00 in the morning to find that smoking hot alien you thought you made up in your head standing there? Um... okay. Wake up on the other side of the galaxy with that same alien insisting you're his... and that you haven't been playing a video game, but completed the training program to become the first Starfighter from Earth? Holy sh$t. Starfighter Command – 2 I'm obsessed with the game. I spend so many hours playing that I dream about dangerous missions on other worlds...and my gorgeous, in-game training partner, Kassius. That is, until I win. I beat the Starfighter Training Academy. But is it a game? Or alien software designed to recruit new, unsuspecting soldiers for a war in another star system? Because when my hot as heck alien shows up at my workplace demanding I leave Earth and travel to the Vega system? What? When he informs me it's my duty to fight Queen Raya and the Dark Fleet? Claims he wants me as much as I've craved him? Let's just say things get crazy. Facing the truth is never easy, but when I arrive at the Elite Starfighter base I learn that Kassius cheated the system, hacked into the game, and lied to everyone on two worlds to make me his. Now who's obsessed? Elite Starfighter – 3 Two friends have disappeared playing Starfighter Training Academy. No one cares because it's just a game. Right? I know something is wrong. Messed up. Completely off. And no one is paying attention. My BFFs went missing after beating the hottest new multi-player game on the planet, Starfighter Training Academy. They won. They celebrated. They vanished. So what's the girl left behind supposed to do? Beat the damn game, that's what. Find out the truth, even if that includes being recruited to fight in an alien war, lusting after the hottest alien I've ever seen, and marching into a battle there's little chance of winning. I will find my friends. I will learn what the heck is going on. And I will kiss the alien hunk I've been staring at for weeks. Watch me.
