Book excerpt: When he arrived at Medicine Hat, Somers Randison's initiation into cowboy ways was both disillusioning and violent, and in a very short time he had succeeded in arousing the enmity of Gringo, a cunning, sharp-shooting Mexican half-breed, who swore vengeance on the interfering tenderfoot. Even when Randison joined forces with the Mounted Police to solve the mystery of Noisy Pangborn's murder he was constantly reminded that Gringo's words had been no idle threat. The tension snapped during the great cattle round-up, when Randison found himself face to face with his enemy. In the fight which followed and the subsequent stampede of maddened cattle Randison learned the true meaning of a fight to the finish against nature untamed. This is a full-blooded Western story, told at breakneck speed to the exhilarating accompaniment of thundering hooves and roaring gun-play.

The Trace is a masterful, poetic novel about a journey through Mexico taken by a couple recovering from a world shattered. Driving through the Chihuahua Desert, they retrace the route of nineteenth-century American writer Ambrose Bierce (who disappeared during the Mexican Revolution) and try to piece together their lives after a devastating incident involving their adolescent son. With tenderness and precision, Gander explores the intimacies of their relationship as they travel through Mexican towns, through picturesque canyons and desertcapes, on a journey through the the heart of the Mexican landscape. Taking a shortcut through the brutally hot desert home, their car overheats miles from nowhere, the novel spinning out of control, with devastating consequences. . . . Poet Forrest Gander’s first novel As a Friend was acclaimed as “profound and relentlessly beautiful (Rikki Ducornet). With The Trace, Gander has accomplished another brilliant work, containing unforgettable poetic descriptions of Mexico and a story both violent and tender.

Book Synopsis Call Me Sergeant Rock by : Dan Rodgers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sergeant Rock evolves from a native, baseball-playing, church-going Christian and skinny college kid to a well-trained killing machine in Vietnam. Leaving California to take part in the Tet Offensive in 1968, he finds the culture shock between the two overwhelming. Thrust into war and killing, he finds his approach to life and death must change quickly, but he holds fast to his beliefs. Though he saves others, his attitude toward killing and death changes for the worse, while his approach toward life improves. Sergeant Rock is a much better person for the choices he makes. In the course of a single Tet Offensive battle, his company loses all but 13 men, as 126 soldiers die in two hours. His faith increases when he meets his guardian angel during the battle. Sergeant Rock pushes his squad to their limits because he knows that death may lie just beyond the next bush. He may be only 20, but he thinks like an old veteran.

The hardships his squad must face, such as going without fresh water or clothes for 57 days, being shot down in a chopper, and just trying to stay alive are overwhelming. How much can our minds take before they crack? Sergeant Rock believes divine intervention is the only reason he is alive to tell his story.

Book Synopsis A Counterfeit Gringo's Take on Third World Poverty and Memories of Mosquitia by : Marc Rangel
Download or read book A Counterfeit Gringo's Take on Third World Poverty and Memories of Mosquitia written by Marc Rangel and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though born an expatriate U.S. citizen in Nicaragua, the author's hometown has an English name, Bluefields, and was the former capital of the onetime British protectorate called Mosquitia. Added to this exotic background, during his boyhood in the 1930's Nicaragua was under U.S. Marine Occupation and the country's entire Caribbean region was, in effect, an Anglo-American enclave, which led to his latino friends nicknaming him a gringo hechizo, or "Counterfeit Gringo." This dual heritage, with its intimate experiencing of both American and Third World lifestyles, is what makes his comments on the current cultural clash between the Western and non-Western worlds, as outlined in these three brief works, an unique assessment of this most challenging and dangerous international conflict.
