Book excerpt: The trio of brave friends who make up Shark, Inc—Luke, Maribel and Sabina—dive back into adventure in Stingers, the follow-up to bestselling author Randy Wayne White’s Fins. Marine biologist Doc Ford invites Maribel, Luke, and Sabina to a remote island in the Bahamas where lionfish, a beautiful and venomous inhabitant of the South Pacific that has invaded Florida and the Caribbean, are not just upsetting the balance of nature by damaging the coral reefs—their sting has put several people in the hospital. What Doc and Captain Hannah Smith don’t mention is that the island is riddled with limestone caves, once home to a band of pirates, and stories of Spanish gold have lured outlaw treasure hunters to the area. When the trio finds precious artifacts, they agree to guard the secret until they’ve thoroughly explored the spot. Soon, outlaws search for the trio, hoping they will lead them to riches.

Book excerpt: A relentless alien bounty hunter encloses a Texas town under a dome to isolate, hunt, and kill its prey in “the ultimate horror novel” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Ever since the copper mine closed, the West Texas desert hellholes of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. Snake River isn’t the only thing that divides them. Racism, gang wars, and anti-Mexican sentiment have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them for now, at least in awe and wonder, it’s the UFO that comes soaring out of the clouds like a flaming locomotive. In the wake of the crash, a young alien named Daufin has arrived, too. A fugitive who has taken the form of a human, she knows the terror that awaits the inhabitants of this planet—because it is looking for her. When Stinger, the monstrous alien bounty hunter, arrives, it’s with a destructive fury and a devious plan to find Daufin—by entombing the residents in an impenetrable and inescapable dome. A relentless killing machine, Stinger has an infinite capacity for death and destruction. And over the next twenty-four hours, this town is going to bleed and burn. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond from total annihilation. From the New York Times–bestselling and Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Swan Song, Stinger was called “one of the best suspense novels of recent years” by the Science Fiction Chronicle.

But there are some things for which you can never fully prepare. Leezel is suddenly mated to the most powerful man ever known, living in a tree in a valley full of HornCats!

INTRODUCTION Today’s operational environment presents threats the Army has not faced in nearly 20 years. Against peer competitors, the joint force may face air parity or even localized enemy air overmatch, challenging the assumption of air superiority the joint force has held since the Korean War. This will make maneuver forces vulnerable to air attack by fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems, and cruise missiles. Maneuver forces lack capacity and capability to address these threats and the Army requires a speedy response. Stinger missiles provide a key capability for maneuver forces to defend themselves from aerial observation and attack. However, without direct involvement from senior brigade combat team leaders and effective leader training, these missiles will become dead weight at best or a fratricide in waiting at worst. Units must plan effectively to utilize this capability and ensure it ties directly to their scheme of maneuver as opposed to simply task-organizing one Stinger team per company.

Download or read book Stinger Saga written by Mahmood Ahmed and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the air war in Afghanistan, and how a ragtag guerrilla army of Afghan irregulars, who were considered by some as not being good enough to operate Stingers effectively, managed to counter the Soviet/Afghan air power. This book also reveals the intrigues and problems that were encountered in operating efficiently in such environments. It also shows a glimpse of working of other intelligence agencies like the CIA and MI-6, their behaviour, manners, and also the intrigues and professional jealousies that go along with such operations. Though the author admits that this is not a historical narration, but he has claimed to have taken all care in narrating only the actual facts. He himself has been a witness to many events that happened during his tenure. This book will be of great interest to military analysts and researchers, as it will be of a lot of interest to common readers also, and to those who are interested in the truth and want to know how and why things happened that way. This book is about normal average persons who remain mostly unknown and unrecognised but are the ones who actually shape the history. These persons are the ones who get no credit if things turn out good but get a lot of blame if it does not.

Download or read book The Stinger Proxy written by Rick Crawford and published by Fidelis Publishing. LLC. This book was released on 2023-03-22 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most everyone is familiar with the story of Charlie Wilson' s War, immortalized on the big screen by actor Tom Hanks in the title role. What most people aren' t familiar with are the countless stories of the boots on the ground who helped the determined Congressman Charlie Wilson execute his mission to help free the people of Afghanistan from Soviet occupation. The Stinger Proxy, a novel based on my own personal experience as an Army bomb tech who served in “ Charlie Wilson' s War,” is one such story.Set in 1988 at the height of the Cold War, a large U.S.-funded supply of weapons and ammunition bound for Afghanistan mysteriously explodes in Islamabad, Pakistan. A young Army sergeant is quickly deployed with a hand-picked team of Explosive Ordnance Disposal soldiers to assist the Pakistan Army with cleanup operations. What they uncover is an intricate plot to steal the most valuable of those weapons &– the Stinger missiles that had been helping the Afghan Mujahideen turn the tide against the occupying Soviet Army.The classified mission, led by two seasoned Vietnam veterans, is soon compromised by an unknown security breach and the team is targeted by hostile intelligence operatives. Fearing for the lives of the EOD team, the CIA must hide them in a safehouse until the threat is mitigated.In the course of their work, the American EOD team encounters two integral characters in this tortuous plot. None better than “ Jeb” — the covert Green Beret colonel who has been facilitating weapons shipments to Afghanistan for years. And none worse than “ Whitebeard” — the Pakistani Army general and deputy director of Inter-Services Intelligence who orchestrates the plan to lift the Stingers.With the Stinger missiles now in the wrong hands, it' s anybody' s guess how, or where, they' ll be used. The team must come to terms with the possibility that the Stingers— once bound for Afghanistan— may ultimately have been used in the assassination of Pakistani President Muhammad Zia ulHaq and two American diplomats.Adding to the intrigue is the beautiful CIA Officer “ Tara” who is tasked with tracking the leak that led to the threat against the EOD team. She inadvertently falls for the young sergeant in the process, and the two must reconcile their feelings with the fact that their relationship can' t last.While this story takes place some thirty-three years ago, it is relevant as a contrast and comparison to the current situation in Afghanistan. It speaks to the best intentions of our nation, and how those intentions often go awry.

Download or read book Shadow and Stinger written by William Pace Head and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-26 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicknamed “the truck killer,” the AC-119K gunship and its counterpart, the AC-119G, were developed in the late 1960s in response to the needs of the U.S. military in Vietnam. This important book examines the evolution of these aircraft and their role within Vietnam, military policy, and geopolitical realities. Drawing on unpublished studies and a host of primary materials, William Head discusses the events that led to the birth of the AC-119, the planning and modification processes that followed, and its operational history. The G model, or “Shadow,” focused on air support and anti-personnel missions. “Stinger,” the K model, which could carry more cargo for longer distances, was suited for destruction of enemy vehicles. Though the AC-119 was only an interim asset, its descendants—the AC-130E, H, and U—have played an active role in the recent conflict in Iraq. A narrative of the crews and pilots who executed the missions and the engineers, designers, and the politicians responsible for the aircraft, Shadow and Stinger will be of interest to Vietnam veterans, historians, and scholars, as well as aviation enthusiasts.
