Book excerpt: Ten Thousand Miles From Home is the first book of the Jack’s Chase series. It tells the tale of young aspiring journalist Jack O’Sullivan, who is drawn to the action and drama of the Vietnam war like a magnet. Determined to make his mark in the world as an award winning war correspondent, he hounds his editor and anyone else who matters until they finally give in and send him ten thousand miles to the other side of the earth into a world of bombs and bullets, a world of fear and confusion. He enters into a frustrating struggle and finds that the Vietnam conflict (like most wars) is not just man against man, but also man against the elements of nature and his own personal state of mind. He learns that the things his WW2 veteran father tried to warn him about war, are more mind-damaging that he could possibly imagine. Told first hand, this is Jack’s story of the end of his innocent youth and his difficult initiation into the life of a man in war. Along the way he not only discovers friendships found and lost, but has to learn to survive amongst the harsh and unforgiving environment and also finds himself embroiled in an ever-deepening mystery surrounding one of the best soldiers in the platoon, Sergeant Ben Cale. What starts out as the prospect of a great story, becomes a situation which captures Jack’s full determination to get to the bottom of; the involvement of elements of high level secrecy only strengthens his resolve to pursue the story to the end. With the help of his camera-man and good friend Wesley Banks, he manages to uncover some of the aspects of the man’s personality, but while attempting to bring light to the shadows of his hidden past they manage to attract some unwanted attention. Striving to balance the art of good journalism without over-stepping the official boundaries and trying to stay sane and alive while out in the jungle with the platoon gives Jack a constantly changing mix of satisfaction, frustration and of course, at times, total mental stress. The final part of the story sees the men of 108 Platoon caught up in a battle which becomes a week long struggle of life and death. Every ounce of Jack’s courage, stamina and strength of mind is called upon to not give up, even when his comrades are falling around him and it seems like all hope is lost. He marvels at the combat skills of the men and their ability to keep fighting for survival in a world he can only liken to hell, a world he just wants to get away from now that he knows it at its worst. Towards the end of this epic odyssey, Jack learns some unusual information which gives him an important key to the possibility of unlocking the mystery that is Ben Cale, however he is left wondering what it is that he might uncover and how it may affect his life afterwards. The story of Jack O’Sullivan includes his own observations on not only the reality of war, but also the human elements of the people caught up within it. The mystery surrounding Ben Cale adds a level of intrigue to the tale which will keep the reader hungry for more.

Book excerpt: When visitors from across the Galaxy finally took notice of our little blue planet, they immediately let the leaders of Earth's governments know that they were here to take over. Resistance (as the saying goes) would be futile against this race of giants who proved that their technology and weapons were far more advanced than our own. The planet Earth would be a colonized state, with or without the humans t consent, For over 100 years, men have lived under this "Stendaaran" rule, choosing to co—exist with their extraterrestrial conquerors than to go extinct because of them. Private detective, Jack Dillon, had a huge problem with this arrangement, even though he was powerless to do anything about it, He hated aliens—all spaces leeches (as he liked to call them). But all that changed the day one hired him to solve the case of a stolen relic. And while cut trying to find this thief, Jack would ultimately discover that we need these savvy invaders (for our ultimate survival) in more ways than one.

Download or read book Super Spiritual Stories of a Great Grandmaster written by Dr. Kauf and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-02-06 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Then I looked him in the eyes and said. "Remember this Tommy. There is always something. If you can,t find it just know there is no such thing as bad luck or accident. All is Gods will. There is always something. Ask God. Know always, God helps." Yes, I know the answer to Tommys question. I accepted it initially without doubt. Gods heavenly spirit flows out into us all, with the truth. The Mystical experience will lead to the making of a new generation of Great Grandmasters. They will be Christ bearers, to the world in the future. Tommy must carry on. It was so ironic that Tommys father had been a top-notch policeman. Then Tommy had to watch his mother being killed by a policeman. What meaning, psychic or otherwise could I get from it? I guess the answer to that might lie in the fact that God is concerned about making our souls perfect. Tommy would need to gain the faith to make his limitations become possibilities and turn his fears into unconditional love. Years ago, I was training Tommys father, in martial arts and he asked me to ride with him from midnight till 8 AM. He was the only sheriffs deputy in the county, of 500 square miles, on the road. It was not like today when you dont pull up on a dangerous situation without backup. Bar fights, domestics, robberies, and what ever, you responded to alone. The tactics that Tommys father used, would get him fired today. We got a call that a boy had a gun and was shooting up a small town that had no police protection. Tommys father turned on his flashers and started to respond to the call. I could tell by the way he was driving that he was using his intuitive talents. All at once he hit the brakes, and pulled the car to the side of the road. He said. "You drive." I was not a sheriffs deputy and did not have any right to drive that vehicle. Tommys father wouldve been fired if the Sheriff found out. I drove, and he meditated. I knew Tommys father was heading for trouble not just by disobeying the rules, but also if anything went wrong, no one would believe his story. Tommys father would never be able to explain that he was using his sixth sense to link with the higher realms of perception, and God Almighty. He must have read my mind. He said to me. "I have to try to save that boys life! I am receiving an energy that is higher in vibration and totally spiritual. God Almighty has a reason for that boy to live." He picked up my coat that was laying in the back seat and put it on, covering his uniform. The boy was last seen on Main Street in the downtown area. Tommys dad directed me to turn and drive towards the school. As I did it came over the radio. Someone shot back at the kid, from an upstairs window. The kid ran towards the school. As we got close to the school Tommys father jumped out of the cruiser and ran towards the playground area. I followed on foot. I know that most people will not believe what Im about to say. Before the end of the story youll understand how this happened, because Tommy is so much like his dad, in reaching into the depths of the unknown. The boy pointed the gun at Tommys father. Tommys father said. "Im on your side. I come to fight the evil." The boy raised the gun pointing it. He fired over Tommys fathers left shoulder. Tommys father was walking towards the kid and did not stop. He said in a loving voice. "You got it! Put the gun down, your safe." Tommys father was staring into the eyes of the kid as he continued to walk towards him. The boy handed the gun to him. Tommys father placed his hand on the kids shoulder. I could see the healing energy of Ki or Spirit transfer to the young boy. We walked back to the cruiser, and the boy said, crying. "I dont know what happened. All I

Download or read book Donnie and Jean written by Ph. D. Samuel D. G. Heath and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-08 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donnie and Jean was a time of great transition for our nation, one in which there was no television, and radio and Hollywood were the main sources of both entertainment and news defining what would later be called "The Great Generation." Comic books and the funny papers were war oriented and children were ready to defend America against all invaders; while adults fought the war, children played at war. Donnie and Jean is more than a story of two twelve year old children meeting and beginning to learn what it is to love; they were born into a generation that epitomized the best of what America was during that era when the leaders of America were trusted, when teachers and police were the friends of children. In many ways it was an age of innocence lost and not to be recovered, but recalled here in the story of these two children.
