At the Last Frozen Minute
Lee Stahelis life as a Pilot is comprised of many adventurous episodes. Most of the ones written here in his book begin with WW11, while he was in the Navy, flying PBYs in the battle against the Japanese in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. They continue when he joins the Navy Reserves, the U.S. Coast and Geodetic survey, Arctic Pacific Airlines, Alaska Freight Lines, Western Electric, and General Petroleum. He flew for all of these, through the remote Bush Country of Alaska. He spent many years as a Commercial Pilot flying for Wien Airlines in Alaska, and was an instrumental part of everything he did, everywhere he went. His position as a Pilot made him invaluable to the U.S. and Alaska, and to the Eskimo people. His book reflects the close relationship he had with the Eskimo people, and all through those long, severely cold winters, they took care of one another. His strong and honest character follows him everywhere in this book. He later started his own Air Service out of Kiana, Alaska, where he lived with his family of six children until they were grown. Lee flew airplanes for 60 years, before he retired from Wien Alaska Airlines in 1996.

The Little History of Galway
Today, Galway is home to over 250,000 people and plays host to over a million tourists per year, who come from all over the world to admire and learn about the culture and history of this beautiful county. Galway has not always been so tranquil, however, and The Little History of Galway takes a look at the struggles of the county's people across the centuries, from the arrival of Stone Age man through the coming of the Normans and their conquest of the city, to Galway's eventual battle for independence. Examining pivotal moments such as the siege of Galway by the feared Oliver Cromwell, the Penal Laws and the Famine, Colm Wallace also explores the writers, artists and thinkers that have called the area home, as well as the local people who have worked hard over generations to make Galway the welcoming place that it is today.
Sebago Lake, West Shore
The four Cumberland County townsA[a¬aStandish, Baldwin, Sebago, and NaplesA[a¬aalong the west shore of MaineA[a¬a[s second largest freshwater body of water, Sebago Lake, form the core of the latest work by Diane and Jack Barnes: Sebago Lake: West Shore. Even at a time when the vast hinterland of Maine was plagued by raids from Native Americans allied to the French, intrepid woodsmen and settlers ventured into the rugged, primeval wilderness via the Presumpscot and Saco rivers as far as Standish. But by 1830, the Cumberland & Oxford Canal was completed, and the four towns in this volume and several others in the area were linked to Portland and beyond. For the next 40 years, the area was w...
Humanicide
Mars was terraformed, and the biotech engineers could walk on Luna without breathing gear. Earth had three moons and hundreds of orbiting habitats in the Clusters. The great Terraforming Project was hitting its stride, but there were conflicts over which nations would get favored colonization sites on Luna and the antitechnology Three Sins cult was demanding that it all stop. But what disturbed Dr. Bet Nomad, circuit doctor for many of the minor habitats in the Clusters was a simple cough that seemed to be found every place she visited. The more she learned, using banned genetic technology, the tighter her own limitations restricted what she could do—she was banned genetic tech herself, living in the shadows lifetime after lifetime. But she was certain something was wrong—something evil. Humanicide is the final chapter of the Earth Branch of the Project Saga. Henry Melton has been crafting the Project history line since the 70s, building an alternate history of mankind that stretches from the current day to a new destiny among the stars.
