Book excerpt: The first time Jessie laid her eyes on Tommy McBride was in July 1947, when they were still at school - and long before she knew anything about heartbreak or pain. Then she was the sheltered, dreamy minister's daughter, determined to take a bite out of life. And he was the fighter from the wrong side of the tracks, hell-bent on proving himself in the world. They had nothing in common, separate destinies.

Download or read book Betrayal of the Trinity Knot written by Brian Crane and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in 1938 and very much in the spirit of John Buchan and Arthur Conan Doyle, Betrayal of the Trinity Knot is a story that not only gives a unique insight into the threats of conspiracy and subterfuge by foreign agents in the final year before the outbreak of the Second World War, it is also a story of the naivety and blindness of a nation not willing to accept that the unthinkable could happen again. And intertwined within this trail of intrigue is the inner scrutiny by the unlikely heroof his doubts and uncertainties about the determined path he had been drawn into following. So what began as a relaxing break from his business in Bristol, England, merely to visit his friend, the local vicar of a peaceful parish on Exmoor, ended up for our hero being warned. In no uncertain terms that his story must never be told, that it is not in the national interest. Irrevocably linked within these events is the betrayal of the sacred meaning behind a mysterious, ancient Celtic symbol. But now, after more than seventy years, the previously undisclosed truth about this small piece of hidden history has been unearthed in a manuscript concealed away in an old wooden chest. Even so, it is more than certain that the official records will still be gathering dust in some secret government vault.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Will we once again find the light, now darkness has fallen’ The ‘Seal’ is a story set just weeks before the outbreak of WW2 but which has its roots in the historical Holy Crusades of some nine hundred years before. It is a story of one man’s chance encounters in a series of incidents that would not only have a profound effect on him personally but which could have led to serious consequences at a time when the security of this country was at its most vulnerable. However, within the story is also a journey, albeit over a short period of time of one man in search of his own conscience through the events in his life and their affect on the circumstances that he was to find himself in, a journey that was to have far reaching repercussions for him beyond the limits of this story.

Download or read book Odyssey of a Quiet Man written by Brian Crane and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Odyssey Of A Quiet Man “The weight of the cross that you bear is measured by the guilt in your heart.” ‘Odyssey’ is the story, told over two generations of an insignificant ‘quiet man’ who was totally unprepared for the world that he was born into. And yet through the resources of his untapped, strength of character he managed to rise above the adversities brought about by his inherently private and dispassionate nature and the inadequacies of his physical stature. One story in two parts, that encompasses the periods of the late Victorian era to the dawn of the new Elizabethan. However, it is also a story of consequences, of a ‘quiet man’ falling victim of his own honourable disposition and then through no fault of his own being drawn into the dark pit of retribution in his search of spiritual atonement.

The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - every choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favor or failure, triumph or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute . . . and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire to survive no matter what it takes.
Download or read book Into the Teeth of the Tiger written by Donald S. Lopez, Sr. and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 1997-09-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Into the Teeth of the Tiger provides a vivid, pilot’s-eye view of one of the most extended projections of American air power in World War II Asia. Lopez chronicles every aspect of fighter combat in that theater: harrowing aerial battles, interludes of boredom and inactivity, instances of courage and cowardice. Describing different pilots’ roles in each type of mission, the operation of the P-40, and the use of various weapons, he tells how he and his fellow pilots faced not only constant danger but also the munitions shortages, poor food, and rat-infested barracks of a remote sector of the war. The author also offers keen observations of wartime China, from the brutalities of the Japanese occupation to the conflict between Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists and the Communist movement. This edition of Lopez's acclaimed account features new photographs, most of which have never before been published. Relating how the 23rd Fighter Group continued to win battles even as the Japanese gained ground, Into the Teeth of the Tiger is the humorous and insightful memoir of an ace pilot caught in the paradox of victory in retreat.
