In Dragon Slayer, an American helicopter crew is suddenly transported from 1968 Vietnam into 1857 China where they find themselves caught up in the midst of yet another war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some life stories beggar belief . . . even those of people we may yet to hear of. In this astonishing memoir, author Guy Marchi recounts the truly extraordinary story of his life. Born and raised in small-town British Columbia, Marchi’s experiences have been unbelievable. He enjoyed a successful musical career, travelling much of the world, spending years touring Southeast Asia and earned his name into the Guinness Book of World Records for most instruments played (186). Not only did he have an incredible musical career, though—he also became a high-ranking athlete, running marathons, setting power-lifting records, placing nationally as a cyclist, and winning the Fitness Canada competition. Beyond this, Marchi has had a number of other extraordinary experiences, including living in India as a beggar, being forced to run—on foot—from a criminal inquest, sailing the Caribbean for two years, and building an immaculate two-story authentic log house with the logs cut from his own land. Striking, evocative, and dynamic, Marchi’s is a truly incredible story of what one might accomplish in a single lifetime—if only you set your mind to it.

Book excerpt: A Prayer Before Dawn is the true story of one man’s fight to survive inside Klong Prem Prison, the notorious Bangkok Hilton. Billy Moore travelled to Thailand to escape a life of drug addiction and alcoholism.

Moore’s life quickly descended into chaos, drug dealing and violence until he was eventually arrested and imprisoned in Klong Prem, a place where life has no value.

It’s also a story of redemption in the most unlikely of places. Billy Moore was born in Liverpool, England. He has worked as a teacher, Muay Thai fighter and extra on film sets. Following his release from prison in Thailand, he returned to Britain where he now lives with his family. He is now working as a motivational speaker and a drugs counsellor.
Download or read book Talk Thai written by Ira Sukrungruang and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On one side of the door, the rich smell of sweet, spicy food and the calm of Buddhist devotion; on the other, the strangeness of a new land. When Ira Sukrungruang was born to Thai parents newly arrived in the U.S., they picked his Jewish moniker out of a book of “American” names. In this lively, entertaining, and often hilarious memoir, he relates the early life of a first-generation Thai-American and his constant, often bumbling attempts to reconcile cultural and familial expectations with the trials of growing up in 1980s America. Young Ira may have lived in Oak Lawn, Illinois, but inside the family’s bi-level home was “Thailand with American conveniences.” They ate Thai food, spoke the Thai language, and observed Thai customs. His bedtime stories were tales of Buddha and monkey-faced demons. On the first day of school his mother reminded him that he had a Siamese warrior’s eyes—despite his thick glasses—as Aunty Sue packed his Muppets lunch box with fried rice. But when his schoolmates played tag he was always It, and as he grew, he faced the constant challenge of reconciling American life with a cardinal family rule: “Remember, you are Thai.” Inside the Thai Buddhist temple of Chicago, another “simulated Thailand,” are more rules, rules different from those of the Southside streets, and we see mainstream Western religion—“god people”—through the Sukrungruang family’s eyes. Within the family circle, we meet a mother who started packing for her return to Thailand the moment she arrived; her best friend, Aunty Sue, Ira’s second mother, who lives with and cooks for the family; and a wayward father whose dreams never quite pan out. Talk Thai is a richly told account that takes us into an immigrant’s world. Here is a story imbued with Thai spices and the sensibilities of an American upbringing, a story in which Ira practices English by reciting lines from TV sitcoms and struggles with the feeling of not belonging in either of his two worlds. For readers who delight in the writings of Amy Tan, Gish Jen, and other Asian-Americans, Talk Thai provides generous portions of a still-mysterious culture while telling the story of an American boyhood with humor, playfulness, and uncompromising honesty.
