Marauders of the Roswell Links Episode Ii


Book Description

Agent Mark Tracker Hunter and Russian agent Nitasha have joined forces at the advice of their governments. They enter the deep desert to find the damaged alien computer which has been buried for thousands of years as mapped on an ancient map. The ruthless billionaire Joseph Kavanaughs hired mercenaries, lead by the internationally known notorious Bernard DeLoutch, are trailing right behind them. DeLoutch is able to snatch the damaged alien computer. Those working for Kavanaugh fix the computer and use the alien technology to make his island impregnable to Earth weapons. Also, through alien technology, they are able to attack and destroy world governments. Kavanaugh continued to use the damaged communication panel which broadcasted his transmission on an open frequency through out the galaxy that any extraterrestrial entity could pickup. The evil alien, Lord Haqoum Gurlock, the supreme commander of the combined fleets and forces of the Intergalactic Ruling Council, picks up the transmission. Planet Earth is placed under siege to strip it from its natural resources and then to test fire a doomsday weapon capable of shattering planets. If the people from Earth and the friendly aliens do not destroy the doomsday weapon in time, Earth will be reduced to rubble.

The Marauders


Book Description

"A little Elmore Leonard, a little Charles Portis, and very much its own uniquely American self. . .Tom Cooper has written one hell of a novel." –Stephen King When the BP oil spill devastates the Louisiana Gulf Coast, the citizens of the bayou town of Jeanette scramble to replace their lost livelihoods. Among them is one-armed, pill-popping shrimper Gus Lindquist, who has nothing left but the dying glimmer of a boyhood dream: finding the lost treasure of pirate Jean Lafitte. With his metal detector and Pez dispenser full of Oxycontin, Lindquist steers his rickety shrimp boat into the savage Louisiana swamps. Along his journey, Gus meets a motley crew of characters: Wes Trench, a young Cajun man estranged from his father since his mother died in Katrina; Reginald and Victor Toup, sociopathic twin brothers and drug lords; Cosgrove and Hanson, petty criminals searching for a secret that could make them rich, or kill them; and Brady Grimes, a BP middleman out to make his career by swindling the townsfolk of Jeanette, among them his own mother. Funny, dark, and compelling, The Marauders throws these characters on a rollicking collision course that all of them might not survive.

Weapon of Choice


Book Description

"The purpose of this book is to share Army special operations soldier stories with the general American public to show them what various elements accomplished during the war to drive the Taliban from power and to destroy al-Qaeda and Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan as part of the global war on terrorism. The purpose of the book is not to resolve Army special operations doctrinal issues, to clarify or update military definitions, or to be the 'definitive' history of the continuing unconventional war in Afghanistan. The purpose is to demonstrate how the war to drive the Taliban from power, help the Afghan people, and assist the Afghan Interim Authority (AIA) rebuild the country afterward was successfully accomplished by majors, captains, warrant officers, and sergeants on tactical teams and aircrews at the lowest levels ... This historical project is not intended to be the definitive study of the war in Afghanistan. It is a 'snapshot' of the war from 11 September 2001 until the middle of May 2002"--Page xv.
