Book excerpt: ROCKY MOUNTAIN JUSTICE Cole Weston owned all the land around Saddle Rock, Colorado, and figured his money made him the law of the land. To his way of thinking, nesters and rustlers deserved the same fate-lynching from the nearest tree. The only man brave enough to stand up to Weston's brand of frontier justice was Deputy Price Regan. With no more backup than his shadow, Regan would fight for what he knew was right-even if it meant gunning down every last one of Weston's hired killers.

Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend's teenaged daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance.

Hiding onboard are Chechen terrorists, who launch a surprise attack. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train--and into the unforgiving wilderness. With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain to stay alive. Two of the terrorists are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge's daughter--and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are only two options left: catch the train and kill them all... or all will be killed"--

Download or read book WHY COPS DIE And How to Prevent It written by Gerald W. Garner and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides time- and experience-proven advice for responding safely and effectively to threats to a law enforcement officerfs safety. It relies on law enforcementfs bloody history to reveal what has gone wrong for a very long time — and how to fix it so that no more cops die needlessly. This book identifies the cop killers and the fatal errors that cops make, and it explores how these incidents happen and why. Most important of all, the book goes into detail about how to prevent these terminal errors and furnishes to-the-point advice for avoiding them. These tactics and techniques work. It offers the same common sense advice that solid patrol sergeants have been sharing with their briefing room charges for a long while. It has been assembled by a police chief who spent 15 years as a sergeant. WHY COPS DIE can be used in a lot of ways, all of them useful for drastically reducing the number of officers who die on the job every year. It should be issued to every law enforcement academy recruit. It is aimed across the spectrum of the law enforcement organization from the rookie to the first-line supervisor to the command staff. Chiefs and sheriffs will find it of value, as will those directly responsible for the training of law enforcement officers. By applying practical, potentially lifesaving advice to their daily duties law enforcementfs first-line practitioners can sharply reduce the number of peacekeepers who die or are maimed in the future. That effort begins here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best friends forever. That is how Marcy Peterman and Anna Miller describe themselves. The 12-year-olds are inseparable and have created an imaginary Indian village in the wooded pasture that is their playground. Rice's Hill is where they dream and play and the Bone Tree, a jagged-edged hollow stump, is where they hide secret messages, trinkets, special rocks, and animal bones they find. It is a perfect childhood in the small town of Danford, Montana. When tragedy strikes, grief and despair cast a long shadow over the Miller and Peterman families but eventually hope triumphs as God reveals his plan - a plan that has some surprising twists and turns. While this book sounds heavy and grim, it isn't. It is filled with author Jan Thacker's trademark humor and quirky insight into family life. Journey to the Bone Tree abounds with hope and joy as life triumphs over death. It is filled with rollicking good humor over the antics of a pastor and his congregation and a comical dog named Midas, and joyful when an unexpected gift helps a young girl heal. It is heartwarming when a surprising turn of events changes grief to peace and sadness to bountiful joy. And, years later, it is emotionally touching when Marcy brings the families to Rice's Hill to tell them about two young girls named Anna and Marcy.
