""I love the way Wilfred recycles the bodies. That's fabulous stuff with a direct line to Heller's Catch-22 and perfectly captures the insanity of the Vietnam War."

-Richard Peabody, co-editor of Gargoyle Magazine

Counting bodies in Vietnam. In this earthy war/peace novel, comedy frames grim pictures of war. Morris weaves combat, a love affair, and military satire into a story that is by turns terrifying, gruesome, and mad, and one acted by a memorable cast of characters-grunts and hookers, Vietcong soldiers and spies, heroes and inane officers. It begins on a huge base in the Central Highlands in 1967 where Lieutenant Wilfred Carmenghetti falls in love with Can and smuggles her to a forward firebase. In the field he and his platoon win stunning victories, but spies plot his death, Vietcong soldiers attack the platoon, and Can leaves him. What follows is a surprising and fanciful comedic ending. "Cologne No. 10 For Men" is a book to make us fear, weep, laugh, and remember. A soldier in Vietnam invents a uniquely absurd solution to the horrors of war. A relatively na ve Wilfred Carmenghetti comes to the Far East to outmaneuver the draft and save the Western world. A funny and serviceable satire about the gross rationalizations that propel war and peace. -Kirkus Discoveries

Johnny . . . Shouldn't be in a dead-end job. Shouldn't be in a dead-end bar. Shouldn't be in a dead-end life. But he is. It's a hamster-wheel existence. Stocking warehouse store shelves by day, drinking too much whisky and beer by night. In between, Johnny lives in his childhood home, making sure his alcoholic mother hasn't drunk herself to death, and looking after his idiosyncratic older brother Arty, whose world revolves around his laundromat job. Rinse and repeat. Then Johnny's monotonous life takes a tumble. The laundromat where Arty works, and the one thing that gives him happiness, is about to be sold. Johnny doesn't want that to happen, so he takes measures into his own hands. Johnny, along with his friend Goat, come up with a plan to get the money to buy the laundromat. But things don't always go as planned . . .

The Green Berets - Action in Iraq (Hardcover): Jay Mann The Green Berets - Action in Iraq (Hardcover)

They are called "the quiet professionals." But for the Green Berets, life on the streets of Iraq is anything but quiet.

With bombs going off all around them, a Special Forces A-Team is forced to fight terrorism under the most arduous of conditions. The Iraqis fighting beside them are poorly trained and unaccustomed to battle conditions. Team members squabble with each other when they should be taking joint aim at the enemy. And the team's chain of command continues to put the kind of absurd restrictions on operations that enable terrorists instead of combating them.

Luckily for the Green Berets, they have John, known to the Iraqis under his command as "Shytaan Ilabyaad": the White Devil. A ruthless team sergeant who refuses to be hampered by superiors dictating conduct from behind secure walls, he leads his team to do whatever it takes to defeat the enemy.

From fighting in the streets of Fallujah to sneak-and-peek operations in the neighborhoods of Baghdad, "The Green Berets" shows what freedom-fighting is all about.

PENTAGON'S HAMMER is played out during a twelve day global event involving the United States, North Korea, India, Pakistan, the Pacific Rim, and, on a peripheral scale, Cuba, China, and Russia. The stage was set with 9/11 on the New York trade center, when Islamic extremists successfully carried out the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Years later, following the outsourcing of critical and sensitive programs by the defense department, vital information for the NSA's most critical, and highly classified satellite system, the ASATs (attack satellites), falls into the hands of the adversary. The adversary, HASAN HAMMAD, principal Jihad antagonist to the Unites States and the free world, by manipulating critical satellites is able to puncture the U.S. defense shield. The earliest indication to the breach is detected by TRACY BAUER, NSA Intel strategist. The protagonist, ALEX BAUER, long time defense analyst and design engineer with DOD and BMO (Ballistics Missiles Office), comes across classified information on EMP and its inherited vulnerability. Whereas EMP, electromagnetic pulsing, is a highly sophisticated process generated by an atomic explosion, it can also be set off through a simple and inexpensive trigger device. What makes it even more detrimental, this science and technology has been hidden from the public eyes since the inception of the atomic bomb. Through vital intelligence leaks and organizational compromises created by current economic conditions, however, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, and the Jihad have gained knowledge for this once closely guarded secret. The antagonist, manipulating the U.S. defense grid, is setting off a chain of events culminating in a series of confrontations. Our defense and intelligence organizations become intricately involved in the strike, counter strike, retaliation, and reprisal. Each chapter, within the twelve days of global events describe character, initiative, environment, action, reaction, and resolution with strong character support interdependent of each other as presented through the sphere of a global theater. The enemy, in the heart of the nation unleashes a series of assaults through nuclear, chemical and biological means affecting the lives of every citizen across the country. With every defense mechanism rendered ineffective the nation is brought to its knees resulting in an economic Armageddon effecting commerce, power, utilities, communication, banking, finance, Wall Street, transportation, hospital, emergency operation, law enforcement, national defense, government and the military, not to mention the lives of millions of U.S. citizens. What makes the novel unique is the intricate knowledge of the writer in the Intel community, the defense system, and the nation's nuclear strike capability. Furthermore, the story has unique twists not tackled before.

Arthur Conan Doyle
R957 Discovery Miles 9 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Five tales of battle, intrigue, the sea and adventure from the Napoleonic era
Conan Doyle was justifiably famous for his great detective Sherlock Holmes. But in fact Doyle's first love was historical fiction, and he had a particular interest in and affinity with the age of Napoleon. This led him after the 'demise' of Holmes to create another character much closer to his heart-the impossibly brave, boastful and not very bright, French hussar-Brigadier Gerard. That character's full adventures-complete with all the original magazine illustrations-is available as a Leonaur edition. Fortunately for the many enthusiastic aficionados of Doyle and the Napoleonic Age his efforts in that period of history did not end with Gerard. Here are Doyle's other classic novelettes and stories of the epoch of empires-each one a gem-brought together in a single volume available in soft cover and hard cover for collectors to enjoy over again. Includes Uncle Bernac, The Great Shadow, A Foreign Office Romance, A Straggler of 1815, The 'Slapping Sal' and Doyle's essay on his own Napoleonic history library.

After spending months fighting in the sands of Iraq, Sampson Roy has returned to his home in Georgia a changed man. Gone is the patriotic optimist who went off to serve his country, and in his stead is a bitter, resentful pessimist. Sampson is unable to cope with society, and the government could care less about his problems. His psychological damage from what he witnessed in the Middle East has ruined his marriage and left him a pariah to those he formerly loved. He retreats to the woods, drowning his demons in a bottle of liquor. But in the midst of his suffering, a ghost appears named David Tree, a dead soldier from the Iraqi conflict who has been unable to pass to the other side. David brings unexpected news: Sampson's wife is pregnant. With a new burst of hope, Sampson cautiously leaves the woods. But his alcoholism and self-destructive nature brand him an outcast, and his wife refuses to reconcile. Deep in his heart, Sampson wants to raise his newborn child and return to the life he once had. Finding the courage to conquer his addiction may be too much, yet he has to try-even if it ultimately destroys him. Haunting and powerful, "Story of the Sand" is a searing portrait of war's destruction of the individual soldier.

In the blink of an eye, al Qaeda cells unleash a series of brutal and horrific strikes within the United States. Targeting the defenseless and weak, they murder women and children across the nation by the hundreds. Elliott Cahill is an everyday guy who's in the wrong place at the right time, spoiling one of these vicious attacks. Now enraged, the radical Islamic Mullahs who are directing the attacks call for a holy jihad against Cahill's family in retribution. What they don't understand is that Cahill is neither defenseless nor weak. Now, he's a pissed off dad, who's forced to fight back after the terrorists target his daughter's high school with the intention of executing every last child. After reading the incredible climax, you'll have to ask yourself one question. Would I be really willing to die for my family and my country? Well, are you?

"America Falling" is a horrifying look into the very possible future of life, and death within the United States. It is not for those who are politically correct or faint of heart.
