Book excerpt: In 2015, a race of alien Others conquered Earth. They enslaved humanity not by force, but through an aggressive mind control that turned people into contented, unquestioning robots. Except sixteen-year-old Althea isn’t content at all, and she doesn’t need the mysterious note inside her locket to tell her she’s Something Else. It also warns her to trust no one, so she hides the pieces that make her different, even though it means being alone. The autumn she meets Lucas, everything changes. Althea and Lucas are immune to the alien mind control, and together they search for the reason why. What they uncover is a stunning truth the Others never anticipated, one with the potential to free the brainwashed human race. It’s not who they are that makes them special, but what. And what they are is a threat. One the Others are determined to eliminate for good.
Download or read book We Few written by Nick Brokhausen and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Green Beret’s gripping memoir of American Special Forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. In 1970, on his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. Officially, it was known as the Studies and Observations group. In fact, this Special Forces squad, which Brokhausen calls “an unwashed, profane, ribald, joyously alive fraternity,” undertook some of the most dangerous and suicidal reconnaissance missions ever in the enemy-controlled territory of Cambodia and Laos. But they didn’t infiltrate the jungles alone. They fought alongside the Montagnards—oppressed minorities from the mountain highlands, trained by the US military in guerilla tactics, armed, accustomed to the wild, and fully engaged in a war against the North Vietnamese. Together this small unit formed the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of Vietnam, racking up medals for valor—but at a terrible cost. “In colorful, military-jargon-laced prose leavened by gallows humor, Brokhausen pulls few punches describing what it was like to navigate remote jungle terrain under the constant threat of enemy fire. A smartly written, insider’s view of one rarely seen Vietnam War battleground.” —Booklist “[An] exceptionally raw look at the Vietnam War just at the apex of its unpopularity. . . . This battle-scarred memoir is an excellent tribute to the generation that fought, laughed, and died in Southeast Asia.” —New York Journal of Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] exceptionally raw look at the Vietnam War . . . an excellent tribute to the generation that fought, laughed, and died in Southeast Asia.” —New York Journal of Books This is the second volume of a Green Beret’s riveting memoir of his time serving in Recon Teams Habu and Crusader, CNN, part of Military Assistance Command, Vietnam—Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG). Picking up where We Few left off, Whispers in the Tall Grass opens as the war moves into a new phase. The enemy are using special formations to hunt recon teams and missions are now rarely accomplished without heavy contact. Despite the teams’ careful prep, losses are mounting. More and more missions are extracted by Bright Lights until eventually classic recon missions are almost impossible, and the teams briefly trial HALO insertion. Finally, as the US prepares to withdraw, the teams undertake back-to-back missions directing air strikes and disrupting supply lines to ease the pressure on the ARVN. Broken by the pace, but desperate not to leave the Yards, Brokhausen is ordered to out-process, his request for extension denied, and is forced to leave his friends—his brothers—behind. Written in the same vivid, immediate style that made We Few a cult classic, Whispers in the Tall Grass follows Habu, Crusader and other teams as they undertake missions in this new, deadlier phase of the war. The narrative veers from hair-raising to tragic and back as the teams insert into hot targets, act as Bright Light for stricken teams, and play hard in between missions to diffuse the ever-rising tension. “Brokhausen tells all in a masterfully gonzo style of reporting and recollection shaped by clever gallows humor.” —Booklist

Download or read book Whispers in the Air written by Chikezie Abengowe and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a few stories that are fictional narratives and discussions that are about pressing real life problems. It was real when Galileo Galilei was grievously punished for telling the truth: the earth is round not flat. A lot goes on in our universe. This is evidenced that many nations on earth have in knowing what is going on there. This curiosity has motivated their development of an International Space Station where they have permanently left astronauts to monitor the planets and far away stars. Between the astronauts and pilots on earth, they have observed unidentified flying objects. These UFOs are mysterious and cannot be explained by any traditional scientific ways. The observers suspect the presence of other beings with higher intelligence residing somewhere. The union of planets must know where the beings are hiding, and it makes sense to eavesdrop on conversations between them to extract the truth. So, we listened and listened and listened to the planets and the moon, and we heard them speak! Religion is based on the fear of the supernatural God. As we battle through life's priorities, we run into serious, sometimes difficult, and dangerous problems we assess ourselves incapable of solving. It is at this point that we call on the supernatural to help having seen, felt, and observed the fearful unexplainable manifestations of the deity's power. Peoples in different parts of the world have different experiences that determine how they view and worship the deity that is important to them. Because of each unique experience of the deity, conversion into a new religion for many is never complete. A few paraphernalia of the old religion linger in the mind of the convert. COVID-19 has visited us and seems capable of forcing itself on us. It has ravaged our health, our economy, and our self-esteem, and has changed much of social interaction. It is real, and we discussed all aspects of it as it affects us. What to do to minimize the spread; isolation and contact tracing; available testing methods; realities and controversies about therapeutics and vaccines and coronavirus politics of influence and disregard of science. There was a discussion on the array of difficulties that face going back to work and school. Also discussed were predominant problems of pollution and global warming with their disastrous effects on wildfires, hurricanes, and flooding; global population control and the rise of only children; and the persistent problem of inequality and the killing of Black men and women by the police. On the lighter side of our discussion, we profiled the life and death of John Lewis and SpaceX's recent travel to the International Space Station. The book ended with an appeal to the younger generations to save us from existing bitterness and confusion in our society.

In August of 1939, as Britain watches the headlines in fear of another devastating war with Germany, three childhood companions must choose between friendship and country. Erstwhile socialite Nora is determined to find her place in the Home Office’s Air Raid Precautions Department, matchmaker Hazel tries to mask two closely guarded secrets with irrepressible optimism, and German expat Marie worries that she and her family might face imprisonment in an internment camp if war is declared. When Germany invades Poland and tensions on the home front rise, Marie is labeled an enemy alien, and the three friends find themselves fighting together to keep her free at any cost.

Download or read book Whispers from the Rooftops written by Dalbir Kaur Khaira and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Description The book is a varied collection of eighteen stories all very different. The connecting feature for them is that they are all about Panjabis'. Sometimes the backdrop for them is the Panjab, the land of the five rivers, and at other times it is England where the Punjabis made their second home. The stories feature secret love and betrayal. There is murder and retribution. Old age, loneliness, substance abuse, mental illness and the everyday struggle for survival all feature in the stories. Running alongside all this is humour, happiness and hope. One of the stories contains an emotional plea from a sister to a brother using the only means at her disposal to let him know her true feelings. The human capacity to show tolerance and compassion never ceases to surprise. There are stories where funny quirks in childhood develop into serious mental illness. Some of the tales have unexpected twists at the end, others leave you with many questions and baffling mysteries unsolved. Some illustrate how hard it is to accept tragedy as part of your destiny and demonstrate strong desire to manipulate the future. There are characters that display a quiet dignity in the face of intense provocation. Others have short fuses that lead to unexpected explosions. All the stories are of human interest and some have a historical significance. Most of all they are a window into a world far away and fast disappearing. The Panjabi culture is in transition and although change is inevitable it is accelerated by the infusion of the second culture. The travellers who straddle both become victims of circumstance something they never envisaged when they started their journeys.
