Download or read book Fluke Family King written by Robert Erickson and published by Urlink Print & Media, LLC. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fantasy novel Fluke Family King is the third installment in the misadventures of Sir Maynerd Fluke Dumsted, knight and Royal National Hero. Lifting her bronze face to the sky, Hebe searched for that spark which would bring her the power she needed, but it was surprisingly close. The whole island seethed in a magical turmoil, rotating like a vortex from the heart of Luloo Land. She witnessed the battle ensuing there through the eyes of the Oracle and realized that Maynerd was losing against impossible odds. The very island was organized against him, suffocating him in smoke and flame while the blackest monster imaginable beat him to the ground at every step. She could feel his agony--see his tears. He would die without her help. Hebe knew immediately what she had to do. She reached into the very power of Luloo Land and employed the winds and the rain to generate the energy she needed to recharge. It was so strong here. She had never felt anything like it before. Even the Demons of the Deep took notice as the black clouds thickened over Luloo Land. Rain pelted the ground in torrents, extinguishing the inferno that threatened the forests, but the energy grew until Hebe called it to her uplifted hands in twin flashes of lightening. The resulting thunder flattened trees to the ground, and the beasts sheltered within them raced to escape.

A sometimes well-intentioned ghost gnome tags along for laughs, but his selfish machinations often mean more trouble for Maynerd.

A family curse and the grandiose scheme of the brigand King Kryan Kruke to transform him into the new national hero, in order to reunite the four scattered kingdoms of the land of Gnaught, further complicates Maynerd's plans to find the family fortune.

Book Synopsis James Herbert - The Authorised True Story 1943-2013 by : Craig Cabell
Download or read book James Herbert - The Authorised True Story 1943-2013 written by Craig Cabell and published by Metro Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of a master of horror lives on in this fully authorized biography James Herbert was an enduringly popular author whose books sell in the hundreds of thousands across the world and are made into films. He broke away from the cut-and-thrust populist horror novels of the 1970s and 1980s to create more thought-provoking works, featuring the scientific reasoning behind the manifestations of the ghosts and spirits in which he truly believed. Yet despite his worldwide fan base, surprisingly little is known about the man himself. Before his recent death, James Herbert granted his friend and confidant Craig Cabell more than a dozen exclusive candid interviews. The result is an incredibly frank and revealing portrait of one of the giants of contemporary popular fiction, shedding light on his personal demons that drove the boy from London's East End to become the preeminent horror writer of his generation. Cabell shares personal correspondence and reminiscences, including one of Herbert's previously unpublished pieces, entitled To Ye All. In addition to this, James granted the author full access to his photographic archives, making this a title that no James Herbert fan can be without.
Download or read book Flyover Nation written by Dana Loesch and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dana Loesch believes in Christianity, patriotism, traditional marriage, and the right to bear arms, among other “quaint” ideas. For the elites in DC, Los Angeles, New York, and Silicon Valley, that makes her as bizarre as a three-headed dog. Loesch is alarmed that America is fracturing into two countries—not North and South, but Coastal and Flyover. Worse, the people in charge don’t understand the first thing about how most of the country thinks and lives. Consider a few examples . . . • In Flyover America, people believe criminals should be punished. Coastal America focuses on “rehabilitation.” • Flyovers think the Declaration of Independence was crystal clear: “All men are created equal.” For Coastals, Black Lives Matter—but anyone who adds that all lives matter must be a racist. • Coastals think they understand firearms because they watched a TV movie about Columbine. Fly- overs get a deer rifle for their thirteenth birthday. • Coastals talk about blue-collar workers in the abstract. Flyovers have a relative who works the night shift in a granola bar factory, where the big perk is taking home a bag full of granola bars every Friday. • Coastals think every problem—from hurt feelings to the cost of birth control—requires government intervention and huge federal spending. Flyovers know that money isn’t magic fairy dust, and many problems can be solved only by individual character and hard work. It would all be funny—if Coastals weren’t winning on most of today’s big issues. As Loesch writes, “Most of these pinkies-out, cocktail- drinking-appletini fans selfishly entertain grandiose plans of economic equality without realizing the negative impact their plans would have on the very people they pride themselves on helping. That’s the true class warfare.” Loesch shines the light of truth on everything from feminism to gun violence to abortion. She reveals the damage done by elitists who flat-out don’t get the lives and values of people in the heart of the country. And she asks commonsense questions such as: How can you be angry at Walmart if you’ve never shopped in one? How can you hate the police if you’ve never needed help from a cop? How can you attack Christians if you don’t have a single friend who goes to church? In other words, how can you run a country you’ve never been to? And how much could our politics improve if Coastals would actually listen to their fellow Americans? This book is a rallying cry for anyone who wants our leaders to understand and respect the culture that made America exceptional in the first place.

Download or read book Heroes All written by D.M. Hanson and published by Combined Minds Creative. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the attack on Pearl Harbor and America’s official entry into WWII, America’s maritime forces launched convoys to support our Allies in Europe through the Lend-Lease Act which gave then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt authority to send equipment and food to the war effort without violating our position of neutrality. Once the war was declared on the United States by Nazi Germany, and the Allies agreed upon a “Europe First” Strategy, convoy operations became the main enabling effort in the war. While this was going on, the United States military was planning and then executing the largest amphibious operations in the history of warfare, culminating in the landings in Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. During that timeframe, the names of Patton, Eisenhower, and Montgomery were immortalized. Less well known to the average American were the naval leaders in the Atlantic and Mediterranean campaigns. But this story is not about well-known figures in history, this is the story of the real heroes in any conflict: the young men who went to war and did their part. Heroes All is a story of a single amphibious ship and her crew amongst the thousands of ships that took part in the war. The sailors that served on the Landing Ship, Tank, or LST, were truly unsung heroes in WWII and they remain so today. However, the young sailors that served on these ships were the critical enabler in the bloody battles that followed on land. With incredible fortitude, these young men did their duty and delivered men and supplies ashore again and again. Heroes All is a wonderful tribute to a tiny slice of America’s Greatest Generation. As I read the book, I could sense Donna’s mission was to tell the story to honor her father. She succeeded." Andrew L. Lewis, Vice Admiral, USN (retired)

Book excerpt: Navy SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author Brandon Webb’s personal account of eight of his friends and fellow SEALs who made the ultimate sacrifice. “Knowing these great men—who they were, how they lived, and what they stood for—has changed my life. We can’t let them be forgotten. We’ve mourned their deaths. Let’s celebrate their lives.”—Brandon Webb As a Navy SEAL, Brandon Webb rose to the top of the world’s most elite sniper corps, experiencing years of punishing training and combat missions from the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan. Along the way, Webb served beside, trained, and supported men he came to know not just as fellow warriors, but as friends and, eventually, as heroes. This is his personal account of eight extraordinary SEALs who gave all for their comrades and their country with remarkable valor and abiding humanity: Matt “Axe” Axelson, who perished on Afghanistan’s Lone Survivor mission; Chris Campbell, Heath Robinson, and JT Tumilson, who were among the casualties of Extortion 17; Glen Doherty, Webb’s best friend, killed while helping secure the successful rescue and extraction of American CIA and State Department diplomats in Benghazi; and other close friends, classmates, and fellow warriors. These are men who left behind powerfully instructive examples of what it means to be alive—and what it truly means to be a hero. INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS
