Download or read book Shadow Warriors written by Tom Clancy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unconventional war requires unconventional men—the Special Forces. Green Berets • Navy SEALS • Rangers • Air Force Special Operations • PsyOps • Civil Affairs • and other special-mission units The first two Commanders books, Every Man a Tiger and Into the Storm, provided masterly blends of history, biography, you-are-there narrative, insight into the practice of leadership, and plain old-fashioned storytelling. Shadow Warriors is all of that and more, a book of uncommon timeliness, for, in the words of Lieutenant General Bill Yarborough, “there are itches that only Special Forces can scratch.” Now, Carl Stiner—the second commander of SOCOM, the U.S. Special Operations Command—and Tom Clancy trace the transformation of the Special Forces from the small core of outsiders of the 1950s, through the cauldron of Vietnam, to the rebirth of the SF in the late 1980s and 1990s, and on into the new century as the bearer of the largest, most mixed, and most complex set of missions in the U.S. military. These are the first-hand accounts of soldiers fighting outside the lines: counterterrorism, raids, hostage rescues, reconnaissance, counterinsurgency, and psychological operations—from Vietnam and Laos to Lebanon to Panama, to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq, to the new wars of today…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thuvia, Maid of Mars moves the focus of Burroughs’ Martian series to Carthoris, the son of the human John Carter and Martian Dejah Thoris and the prince of Helium. Princess Thuvia of Ptarth and Prince Carthoris of Helium are in love. Fate, however, is against them: the princess is promised to another, the Jeddak of Kaol, Kulan Tith. So when the princess is kidnapped, suspicion falls on Carthoris, who sets out as his father would have to rescue the damsel and clear his name. As the great airborne navies of Mars’ military powers charge inexorably towards a needless war, Carthoris pursues the imperiled princess across borders and battlefields, making new enemies and allies along the way on a journey which traverses far and forgotten corners of Barsoom. Thuvia, Maid of Mars presents many familiar themes from Burroughs’ books, such as damsels in distress, fantastical adventures, chivalry, and derring-do, set against a backdrop of looming war and political intrigue. But it also introduces new elements, such as psychic armies and new flight technologies, as well as bringing entirely new races and settings to the series. It was originally published in 1916 as three serialized parts in All-Story Weekly, and published as a novel in 1920. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Download or read book A Princess of Mars written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2015-09-14 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil War veteran John Carter is transported to a dying planet, where he must elude capture by giant green barbarians to rescue a Martian princess from certain doom. In this landmark of science fiction, the myths and mystery of the red planet supply a vibrant backdrop for a swashbuckling epic. Published in 1911, A Princess of Mars introduced a popular series of novels recounting John Carter's Martian exploits. Author Edgar Rice Burroughs, best known as the creator of Tarzan, employed a new style of writing that combined the genres of fantasy, adventure, and science fiction. His imaginative setting — an advanced but decaying civilization, where Olympian heroics play out against malevolent forces and ever-changing fortunes — endures as a timeless world, in which love, honor, and loyalty form the basis for fast-paced romantic adventures. Generations of readers have thrilled to Burroughs' Martian tales, including writers of science fiction and fact, such as Ray Bradbury and Carl Sagan. "I stood on the lawns of summer, raised my hands, and cried for Mars, like John Carter, to take me home," remembered Ray Bradbury, "I flew to the red planet and never returned."

Download or read book Sun Wolf written by David C. Jeffrey and published by Sylvanus Books. This book was released on 2020-10-24 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a man, haunted by a profoundly intimate encounter with an alien intelligence, troubled by a traumatic past, and stalked by a potentially devastating addiction accept an impossible mission to save humanity from certain annihilation? Because he is Aiden Macallan, commander of the Sun Wolf, and those afflictions make him the only person alive who can do the job. It’s 2218 and the enigmatic voidoids that enabled humanity’s fifty-year expansion into Bound Space, are fading out of existence. No one knows why, or who’s behind it, but one thing is certain: if the voidoids shut down, not only will humanity be locked out of Bound Space forever, but it will unleash a cosmological catastrophe of runaway dark energy that tears our universe apart—from atoms to stars. It will happen soon and happen fast, unless Aiden and his hand-picked crew of the Sun Wolf can stop it. But as they set course for the Frontier in search for answers, someone is trying to stop them, following from the shadows, attacking at every step of the way. Now, in a race against time and malevolent forces, light-years from home, the Sun Wolf is humanity’s only hope for survival.
