Download or read book War Comes to Alaska written by Norman E. Rourke and published by White Mane Pub. This book was released on 1997 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War Comes to Alaska tells the story of the Dutch Harbor Attack from both the American and Japanese points of view. Kept secret for morale and security reasons, the Japanese attack and ultimate invasion of the Aleutians was off limits to the American press. Government leaders feared the outbreak of panic if Americans realized how close the Japanese were to the West Coast of the Lower 48 states. Rourke has gone beyond that important, but little known, story of when war came to North America. He has also shown us the fight a small body of troops waged against the weather in that far to the north place where they were building a fortress in that spongy tundra to protect the American mainland.

Book excerpt: I am used to moving to where an opportunity exists. And, I enjoy a change. Every few years I found myself in a new situation. In 2006 I left a company in which I had 15 years of experience. I was at the top of my game, making good money in a steady job. But I hated my boss. I took another position which was a gamble. After one year I realized I made a mistake. So I quit my job and put my house up for sale, just as the housing market was imploding in Phoenix. Where would I move? No idea. I started a job search in the northwest US, including Alaska. If I sold my house before I got a job, I would move to Reno. I liked the area. At the last second I got an offer in Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. Never had been to Alaska. Next thing I knew, I was driving from Phoenix to Fairbanks. Even though I knew this position was truly unique and would take patience on my part, I had had enough after a few months and quit. But once again, another offer presented itself. This time I would move halfway to Russia on The Aleutian Island chain. To Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island. Certainly THIS was going to work out!

Download or read book Time Bandit written by Andy Hillstrand and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-03-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every Alaskan king crab season, brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand risk their lives and seek their fortunes upon the treacherous waters of the Bering Sea. Sons of a hard-bitten, highly successful fisherman, and born with brine in their blood, the Hillstrand boys couldn’t imagine a life without a swaying deck underfoot and a harvest of mighty king crabs waiting to be pulled from the ocean floor. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving waves sixty feet high, the perils of thousand-pound steel traps thrown about by the punishing wind, and the constant menace of the open, hungry water—epitomized in the chorus of a haunting sailors’ sing-along: “Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, so beware, beware.” By turns raucous and reflective, exhilarating and anguished, enthralling, suspenseful, and wise, Time Bandit chronicles a larger-than-life love affair as old as civilization itself—a love affair between striving, willful man and inscrutable, enduring nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two murders strain the police force of a remote Alaskan fishing port, veterinarian Maureen McMurtry is tapped by Dutch Harbor’s police chief for forensic assistance. The doctor’s got a past she’d rather not discuss, a gun in her closet, and a retired police dog that hasn’t lost her chops. All come in handy as she deciphers the cause and time of death of a local drug addict washed ashore with dead sea lions and an environmentalist found in a crab pot hauled from the sea in the net of a fishing vessel. When her romantic relationship with a boat captain is swamped by mounting evidence that he’s the prime suspect in one of the murders, McMurtry struggles with her own doubts to prove his innocence. But can she? McMurtry’s pals, a manager of the Bering Sea crab fishery and another who tends Alaska’s most dangerous bar assist in unraveling the sinister truth.
