Download or read book Tommy Mcgee at War written by J.P. Dolan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy McGee at War is set in the Port of Fremantle during WWII and shows how teenagers and adults interact during such times of stress. The characters in the story are Tommy McGee and his gang, the Holy Smokes, who are in constant war with the opposition gang, the Stinking Head Shea Gang, led by Stinking Head Shea himself. There is also Sergeant Major John Daly, who is known to Tommy as Uncle Jack and is the founder and leader of Z Force, which is based on the mysterious and forbidding Garden Island. Finally, there is Poacher Kenworthy, who, with his reputation of being a very bad man, strikes terror in the hearts of the boys. There are also general characters filling in the story to help create the atmosphere of wartime. The story starts out by establishing the area of operations, how the Holy Smokes got their name, and the details about their meeting place, the Place, which is a large flat rock on the edge of the Swan River and is overlooked by the lookout tree, which is strategically placed on the corner of Poacher Kenworthys five-acre orchard; this enables the boys to keep tabs on the Stinking Heads and also on any ripening fruits in the orchard. There are skirmishes as the defences of the Place are tested and how, after retaliating by the Stinking Heads, a girl named Ingrid is inducted into the Holy Smokes. It is during one of their meetings at the Place that they discover that Poacher has found a way into the heavily defended Port of Fremantle. Uncle Jack, with Z Force, is having troubles when his navigator goes ack-willy (an army term for AWL) and puts in jeopardy an operation in Java to attack the Japanese-held Port of Padang. The navigator is caught by the civilian police and put into Fremantle Gaol. This sets in motion a series of events which leads to the discovery of a tunnel built by the original convicts, which leads directly to Fremantle Gaol, and with the help of the Holy Smokes, the navigator is retrieved. During this operation, they are seen, and because of a lack of communications, a battle between the home guard and the civil defence unit takes place almost on top of where they are all hiding. It would appear that it would be almost impossible to get the navigator back to Garden Island using existing transport. They decided to take him out through Fremantle Harbour, and much to the boys horror, Poacher is co-opted to lead. The rescue is successful after a great deal of effort but with the loss of Tommys dinghy, which was blown to bits by the defence guns. Some time later, Uncle Jack gathers all the Holy Smokes together and gives a very detailed description of the successful attack on Padang Harbour and how they had escaped back to Australia, hotly pursued by the Japanese all the way down the coast of Sumatra, through the Sunda Strait, and back to Broome, which had just been bombed by the Japanese. Finally, Tommy is presented with a dinghy which had been captured from a Japanese destroyer.

In their most dangerous adventure yet, Stranahan and Ettinger find themselves in the crossfire of wolf lovers, wolf haters, and a sister bent on revenge, and on the trail of an alpha male gone terribly wrong.

Download or read book Trails of Africa written by Daniel Nuss and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After relocating into the heart of northern Tanzania for their careers, four close friends participate in never-ending, suspenseful, trapdoor assignments otherwise known in their line of work as wildlife conservation and archaeology. But it's not until one of the group's friends presented challenges like no other to their lives during the highly unimaginable, determined work they happened to love. How would each character react to their fellow coworkers if they locked horns with someone in their seemingly close-knit group who never stopped being impossible? It would seem that no matter what the group had done, they never seemed to get it right for that particular person. And the fact of the matter is, it's a recurring matter throughout nearly each day spent between one another while enjoying their work interest. What everybody in the group, save that special someone, must ask themselves is, How long should they put up with that special someone and deal with the difficulty? To make matters worse, one of the other characters refuses to hear the difficult character out, which leaves a stain on their relationships. Complications only arise as a criminal led the charge in parts of Tanzania to involve them in tracking him and his men in poaching and archaeology. And to top it all off, the difficult character had the canny ability to be a step forward through the door and to take the lead with any obstacle that heads their way. But by leaving each of the close acquaintances far more tightly knit together than they were before in the middle of prevalent danger, their struggles came as a surprise, realizing how they really didn't see each other the right way, all based on a story of suspenseful adventure that only raised the tenacity of keeping the group alarmed on their toes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every fall in northern Michigan brings a spate of dogman sightings. A radio DJ’s invention, the dogman was created as an attention-getting joke. But millions of Michiganders believe in angels and vampires, werewolves, Bigfoot . . . and the dogman. Late summer, the horribly mutilated bodies of two Native American girls are found in a tent in a remote campground in the Huron Mountains. Grady Service, who wants nothing more than to return to patrolling his beloved Mosquito Wilderness, is called into the case. Strange animal tracks are found, mayhem ensues, a bloody trail of victims begins to accumulate, and the governor, in a political panic, and on her way out of office, orders Grady to hunt down and eliminate the killer--on her office’s dime. Grady Service does not believe in Easter bunnies, Santa Claus, or dogmen, and the "monster" hunt that unfolds in Killing a Cold One builds to a violent finish in some of the Upper Peninsula’s harshest and deadliest terrain. Joseph Heywood's legendary woods cop is called upon to use all of his investigative skills to sort fantasy from reality in order to do what the governor wants.
