Duty Honor Freedom
John Wheeler had done more than his fair share time fighting Muslim extremist and terrorist as a member of the Army Rangers. He had not been there when his parents and grandfather died. It had nearly cost him the love of his life, his loving wife. All he wants now is to live a quiet life as a farmer on land that his family has owned since 1800. Fate had other ideas as a land developer sees his land as the best place to build a gated community with a private golf course and lake. Now, John finds himself in an armed standoff with state police who are using eminent domain to give his family land to the developers. He also finds himself trying to come to grips with a country that seems to be changing faster than he can understand and a conscience that can't live with another good man's death on his soul. The balance-between the duty he feels to his family's history and country-pulls on his soul and feelings of standing up for what he knows and believes. He is starting to accept the changes that the future will always bring.
Savage Earth
Thousands of years ago an ancient peace-loving alien culture called the Argolians visited Earth and helped humanity take hold, and as a result, took the little planet under its wing. Later, after watching most of their race brutally slaughtered by the Kontarians, the last few remaining Argolians flee with the object the evil Kontarians are lusting after—the Stone of Unarl, a living gem that possesses incredible power. Now the Argolians are back to help save Earth, the last of the Argolians’ sister planets, which is in danger of being destroyed by the Kontarians. Aware that the sudden appearance of a group of aliens on Earth would cause more havoc than good, the Argolians have chosen one reluctant human to try and save the planet. After intensive training, John Savage takes command of the Argolians’ “gift,” a small craft that is one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Can Earth’s newest hero succeed? To do so Savage must not only overcome his own fears of failure, but also defeat the Kontarian spies placed on Earth years before. These aliens will do anything to possess Savage’s ship and delay his training until the Kontarian fleet arrives.
Two Coots in a Canoe
A journey of whim, humor, and self-discovery along the Connecticut River When retired CEO Ramsay Peard, 61, called his old friend David Morine, 59, and asked the longtime conservationist if he wanted to canoe the Connecticut River, Morine said he’d do it under one condition: no camping. “We’ll rely on the kindness of strangers.” And that’s what they did. Mooching their way down the river and staying with strangers every night, Morine and Peard got an inside look at such issues as the demise of farming, the loss of manufacturing, gay rights, and Wal-Mart versus Main Street, and they were able to delve deep into the lives of complete strangers. But Morine soon realized the one life he never dug into was Peard’s. After spending a month with him in a canoe, he had no idea that his friend’s innermost thoughts had taken a fateful course. Written in the tradition of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods,this book will be treasured by conservationists, canoeists, and old friends still seeking a thrill. Everyone else will be delightfully entertained.
