Download or read book God s Sparrows written by Philip Child and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2017-03-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of Philip Child’s great Canadian novel of the First World War. A horrifying description of war, specifically embodied in the vain and inglorious futility of the First World War, God’s Sparrows is a novel rich in compassion and firm in its faith in the human spirit. Philip Child created a Canadian family saga, a modern pilgrim’s progress in which individuals surmount the corrosive effects of brutality, maintaining their ability to love and endure under the most agonizing circumstances. His book, first published in 1937, remains as a stirring testimony to that ability. It offers profound insight into the experience of the First World War, not just as a catastrophe affecting his characters but as a crucible in which the whole of this nation found itself tried.

Chasing her to hell and back doesn’t sound like his idea of a good time. Or maybe Alaska just seems like hell. Eden Kane works for no one but herself. Not even when the most elite security company in the world wants her. She’s racing against the clock to hunt down the man who taught her everything she knows—her husband—known as Proteus in the terrorist world. He’s the man she was deceived into loving. The man who put a bullet in her chest and left her to die alone. The search for Proteus leads to a discovery Eden and Nathan weren’t expecting, and thousands of lives are at stake.
