Book excerpt: In his latest graphic novel, Dragon Hoops, New York Times bestselling author Gene Luen Yang turns the spotlight on his life, his family, and the high school where he teaches. Gene understands stories—comic book stories, in particular. Big action. Bigger thrills. And the hero always wins. But Gene doesn’t get sports. As a kid, his friends called him “Stick” and every basketball game he played ended in pain. He lost interest in basketball long ago, but at the high school where he now teaches, it's all anyone can talk about. The men’s varsity team, the Dragons, is having a phenomenal season that’s been decades in the making. Each victory brings them closer to their ultimate goal: the California State Championships. Once Gene gets to know these young all-stars, he realizes that their story is just as thrilling as anything he’s seen on a comic book page. He knows he has to follow this epic to its end. What he doesn’t know yet is that this season is not only going to change the Dragons’s lives, but his own life as well.

Some things never go away, like vile enemies, bad ale, and annoying kin. But I thought I was finished with the one dragon I’d have done anything for: Éibhear the Blue, a big, gorgeous, blue-haired beast who thinks the world belongs to him. The world and, apparently, me. So if Éibhear wants to play the caring hero and travel into the most forsaken of Gods forsaken lands to protect the one woman who doesn’t need it—namely me—I’ll let him. Because while I’m trying to fulfill a ridiculous quest for a pushy god, I’m going to draw this overconfident warlord much too close, rekindle his fires, and enjoy every minute of his delicious defeat . . .

Download or read book The Fire of the Dragon written by Ian Williams and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-08-04 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize 2023 As seen in The Times, Sunday Times, Spectator, and on Tonight with Andrew Marr (LBC) Under President Xi Jinping, China's global ambitions have taken a dangerous new turn. Bullying and intimidation have replaced diplomacy, and trade, investment, even big-spending tourists and students have been weaponised. Beijing has strengthened its alliance with Vladimir Putin, supporting Russia's aggression in Ukraine, and brooks no criticism of its own flagrant human rights violations against the Uyghur population in western China. Western leaders say they don't want a cold war with China, but it's a little too late for that. Beijing is already waging a more complex, broader and more dangerous cold war than the old one with the Soviet Union. And it is intensifying. This thought-provoking and alarming book examines this new cold war's many fronts – from Taiwan and the South China Sea to the Indian frontier, the Arctic and cyberspace. In doing so it proclaims the clear and sobering message that we must open our eyes to the reality of China's rise and its ruthless bid for global dominance.

Download or read book The 6th C C written by Douglas Feay and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 6th Convalescent Center at Cam Ranh Bay was the Armyʼs most notorious Amnesty Drug Compound in Viet Nam. Over 200 GI junkies were confined to an under staffed barbed wire enclosed hospital. Two months into operations the 200 plus GI junkies took control of the hospital. It all started with a midnight party. The GI junkies took all the beds out of the hospital, along with several pieces of hospital furniture, piled them up near the hospital entrance and set them on fire. It was one of the strangest sights I have ever seen. 200 plus GI junkies, high on drugs, dancing around a bon fire acting like a tribe of wild men. My reaction, along with the other 59 GIs staffing the hospital, was simple. We left the hospital and went on strike. Going on strike was not something the Army was prepared to handle. Our commanding officer, a doctor, ordered us to go back into the hospital to take control of the drug crazed GI junkies. We, on the other hand, where not so inclined to do this. Our chaplain decided he would talk to the drug crazed GI junkies, thinking he could defuse the situation. He gave a really great speech on how he felt their pain and understood them. They responded by allowing the chaplain to feel their pain first hand. They beat him up and threw him out the front gate. Upon hearing how the chaplain was given to a lesson in humility by the GI junkies, our commander, being of sounder mind then the chaplain made a decision. He decided he would get back to us later after consulting with higher authorities. Later became four weeks and the higher authority turned out to be Four Star General Creighton W. Abrams, Commanding General of the Army. Born at the Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Grew up in East Los Angeles, in the district of Highland Park graduating from Franklin High School, Los Angeles City College, California State University at Los Angeles, and University of California at Los Angeles. Served five years in the U.S. Army with time spent in Vietnam. Registered in California as a Professional Geologist and Medical Laboratory Scientists. Currently living with his wife of 40 years in Los Angeles California, in the district of Sunland. He has four fantastic daughters and eight grandchildren, four of which are girls and four are boys.

With the help of Joe, her mom, and Miss Asher, Cassie sets off on a quest: find Albert, and find somewhere he’ll be safe. But in the process, she learns more about the prophecy that’s put him in danger—Albert, with the help of a second dragon, will overthrow Vayne and bring peace to the dragon world. Who is this second dragon? And how exactly can Albert save anyone when he’s being hunted in two different dimensions? Braving new enemies, unlikely allies, and strange new powers, Cassie is determined to help her kitten—even if it takes her into the Land of Dragons itself.
