Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve years after Charlie's last adventure, we find that walking disaster, Lord Brampton, has been at it again, quite literally launching our hero on the most epic odyssey of his life, this time into the frozen wastelands of the Great White North. Abandoned and believed lost in the high arctic, things look grim for our hero as the long journey back to Brampton Manor seems unlikely. Still, we can take heart, for a Smithers is nothing if not resolute, even when confronted by the harshest climate on the planet. With a stiff upper lip, Charlie sets forth, first as a guest among the Inuit, then as a slave of the Dene, until being sold to the Hudson's Bay Company for the princely sum of four bags of flour, two knives, two rifles, and a cast-iron cooking pot. However, having regained his freedom, Charlie's troubles have only just begun, eventually landing him in the middle of an insurrection, and incredibly, bringing him face to face with his past. Sought after by amorous women and angry aboriginals alike, Charlie's latest adventure will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

Maasai warriors, xenophobic locals, or evil Arab slavers, the two forbidden lovers encounter everything that the unforgiving jungle can throw at them.

Download or read book Harry Flashman and the Invasion of Iraq written by H C Tayler and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-02-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the winter of 2002/3, as Britain and the United States prepare for war with Iraq, one man above all others is doing his utmost to avoid conflict. Step forward Captain Harry Flashman, a staff officer with the Queen's Royal Hussars and distant descendant of legendary Victorian scoundrel General Sir Harry Flashman, VC. The passing generations have done nothing to fortify his moral fibre. Flashman's journey begins with a posting to Plymouth, home of the Royal Marines, in time to join the impending Gulf deployment. Despite his protestations he is shipped to Kuwait to begin a relatively secure job with Brigade Headquarters. But his plans for a cosy war spent safely behind a desk are rudely interrupted by an enforced move to a front-line unit. After bust-ups with the Americans and a foiled attempt to avoid the invasion altogether, Flashman finds himself in the one place he has tried so hard to avoid: the very vanguard of the assault. Landing by helicopter with the Royal Marines, he is soon footslogging through the mud and fighting for his life as the men of 42 Commando seize their objectives on the Al Faw Peninsula. Based on the experiences of the author, Harry Flashman and the Invasion of Iraq is a historically accurate account of events in the Gulf during spring 2003 – embellished only slightly for the enjoyment of the reader.

Download or read book Lee Marvin written by Dwayne Epstein and published by IPG. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length, authoritative, and detailed story of the iconic actor's life to go beyond the Hollywood scandal-sheet reporting of earlier books, this account offers an appreciation for the man and his acting career and the classic films he starred in, painting a portrait of an individual who took great risks in his acting and career. Although Lee Marvin is best known for his icy tough guy roles—such as his chilling titular villain in The ManWho Shot Liberty Valance or the paternal yet brutally realistic platoon leader in The Big Red One—very little is known of his personal life; his family background; his experiences in WWII; his relationship with his father, family, friends, wives; and his ongoing battles with alcoholism, rage, and depression, occasioned by his postwar PTSD. Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan's place in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human struggles.
