Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Ed Gorman's noir Westerns, Edward A. Grainger gives us Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles, Vol. II about a pair of unconventional Deputy U.S. Marshals in 1880's Wyoming. These eight adventures infuse the Western genre with a fresh perspective on topics like race relations and social justice while still delivering pulse-racing action in the style of classic television shows "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and "Gunsmoke." "Just who the hell are you anyway?" a dying fugitive asks Cash Laramie in the opening story "Origin of White Deer," evoking memories in the Outlaw Marshal of his roots. Raised by the stern Arapaho chief, Lightning Cloud, and the hardships that followed with the death of his kindhearted, adoptive mother Elina, this novella-length tale reveals how the orphaned infant went from being known as White Deer in a small tribal community to a young man living in the city of Cheyenne with the name Cash Laramie. Gideon Miles, Cash's colleague and only confidant, makes his own indelible mark in three pieces that bring to the forefront the challenges of a black lawman in the Old West, reminiscent of this character's real life inspiration, Bass Reeves. Despite insurmountable odds, Miles overcomes the obstacles using cunning and savoir-faire, bringing law and order to a ruthless land. Together Cash and Miles create a formidable duo that's not to be missed.

With ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE AND GIDEON MILES, Edward A. Grainger has given fans of traditional Westerns something new and exciting to sink their choppers into. Not a fan of Westerns? Been a while since you've tucked into one? Prefer crime stories? No worries, these stories are as much crime, action, and adventure tale as they are Western. But all that genre affiliation aside, these are damn fine stories. --Matthew P. Mayo, Spur Award-winning author of "Tucker's Reckoning" I confess, until I read Grainger's Cash and Miles stories, I always thought of Westerns as dusty, dated affairs. But Grainger proved me wrong. His blend of Westerns and crime fiction is pitch-perfect, bringing out the best in both genres. --Chris F. Holm, Anthony Award nominee for "The Big Reap" The writing is spare and impactful, the stories are imaginative. Even if you don't think you're a fan of "Westerns," do yourself a favor and check out this collection --- it just might prove to be the best 99 cents you ever spent. --Wayne D. Dundee, author of the "Joe Hannibal PI" series If you're a Western fan and haven't yet made the acquaintance of Cash and Gideon, you definitely should, and this volume is a perfect introduction. --James Reasoner, author of "Texas Wind" Plain and simple, Edward A. Grainger's, ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE AND GIDEON MILES, proves that there's not only life in the Western genre, but it's kicking butt and taking names. This is one of the most entertaining Westerns of the year. --Larry D. Sweazy, Spur Award-winning author of "The Coyote Tracker" These aren't just great Westerns; they're great stories. Mr. Grainger has put together one heck of a collection, featuring characters so full they call out for their own novels. Great work. And I look forward to what these characters do next. --Steve Weddle, author of "Country Hardball"

Download or read book Deception in War written by Jon Latimer and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2003-04-29 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Trojan Horse to Gulf War subterfuge, this far-reaching military history examines the importance and ingenuity of wartime deception campaigns. The art of military deception is as old as the art of war. This fascinating account of the practice draws on conflicts from around the world and across millennia. The examples stretch from the very beginnings of recorded military history—Pharaoh Ramses II's campaign against the Hittites in 1294 B.C.—to modern times, when technology has placed a stunning array of devices into the arsenals of military commanders. Military historians often underestimate the importance of deception in warfare. This book is the first to fully describe its value. Jon Latimer demonstrates how simple tricks have been devastatingly effective. He also explores how technology has increased the range and subtlety of what is possible—including bogus radio traffic, virtual images, even false smells. Deception in War includes examples from land, sea, and air to show how great commanders have always had, as Winston Churchill put it, that indispensable “element of legerdemain, an original and sinister touch, which leaves the enemy puzzled as well as beaten.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 52 papers in this vary in content from summaries or state-of-knowledge treatments, to detailed contributions that describe new species. Although the distinction is subtle, the title (Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah) indicates the science of paleontology in the state of Utah, rather than the even more ambitious intent if it were given the title “Vertebrate Paleontology of Utah” which would promise an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. The science of vertebrate paleontology in Utah is robust and intense. It has grown prodigiously in the past decade, and promises to continue to grow indefinitely. This research benefits everyone in the state, through Utah’s muse ums and educational institutions, which are the direct beneficiaries.

Book excerpt: Dr. Robert Berlin has created The Baryon Core, a powerful device with the ability to predict the future and retrodict the past by tracking the position and vector of every particle in the universe.

Download or read book Dear Bill Bryson written by Ben Aitken and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ACCLAIMED THE GRAN TOUR AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES An irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic. 'It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken's politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title (possibly even its author) intended.' Manchester Review In 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island. Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken's homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.

Download or read book The Marmalade Diaries written by Ben Aitken and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Charming, touching and very very funny' Jenny Colgan 'Simply too good' Daily Mail From the author of the acclaimed THE GRAN TOUR ONE HOUSE. TWO HOUSEMATES. THREE REASONS TO WORRY: WINNIE AND BEN ARE SEPARATED BY 50 YEARS, A GULF IN CLASS, AND MAJOR DIFFERENCES OF OPINION. When hunting for a room in London, Ben Aitken came across one for a great price in a lovely part of town. There had to be a catch. And there was. The catch was Winnie: an 85-year-old widow who doesn't suffer fools. Full of warmth, wit and candour, The Marmalade Diaries tells the story of an unlikely friendship during an unlikely time. Imagine an intergenerational version of Big Brother, but with only two contestants. One of the pair a grieving and inflexible former aristocrat in her mid-eighties. The other a working-class millennial snowflake. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right? Out of the most inauspicious of soils - and from the author of The Gran Tour - comes a book about grief, family, friendship, loneliness, life, love, lockdown and marmalade.
