Colonel Tom Kelly, author of the Tenth Legion, is proud to announce the release of THE BEST OF TOM KELLY. This collector's edition contains 34 chapters of Tom's best Wild Turkey hunting stories. The chapters were picked by Jim Spencer and Jim Casada, two of America's most prolific outdoor writers. Each chapter comes from a previous Tom Kelly book. Each chapter was picked especially for the Wild Turkey story content. This is pure turkeys and pure Tom Kelly. The 336 page collector's edition is green leather bound, signed and numbered with gold gilded edges, marbled end pages and a red silk marking ribbon.
Tenth Legion has long been considered the greatest - and most hilarious - book on turkey hunting. Yet until now it was only available in a privately published edition. Many people who hunt turkeys do so with an attention to detail, a regard for strategy, tactics, and operations, and a disregard for personal comfort and convenience that ranks second only to war. As for all cultists, it never occurs to them that they may be anachronisms. Supremely unconscious of the rest of the world, blind and deaf to logic and reason, they walk along their different roads in step to the music of their different drums.
Absent Companions The Best of Tom Kelly Volume I Infirm Opinions
Chief engineer Thomas J. Kelly gives a firsthand account of designing, building, testing, and flying the Apollo lunar module. It was, he writes, “an aerospace engineer’s dream job of the century.” Kelly’s account begins with the imaginative process of sketching solutions to a host of technical challenges with an emphasis on safety, reliability, and maintainability. He catalogs numerous test failures, including propulsion-system leaks, ascent-engine instability, stress corrosion of the aluminum alloy parts, and battery problems, as well as their fixes under the ever-present constraints of budget and schedule. He also recaptures the exhilaration of hearing Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong report that “The Eagle has landed,” and the pride of having inadvertently provided a vital “lifeboat” for the crew of the disabled Apollo 13.

As the wild building boom of the 1980s galvanizes the construction rackets, both the Mafia and the feds stake out territory in New York City's eternally explosive Hell's Kitchen, longtime turf of the Irish mob. At the center of the story: two Irish brothers, Paddy and Billy Adare. One is an enforcer for the mob. The other, about to enter law school, works as a sandhog in the tunnels below Manhattan. Important to each other since childhood, they are caught in a crossfire of greed and savage violence that puts their loyalties -- to family, neighborhood, and each other -- to a brutal test.
Ten-year-old Danny knows he’s going somewhere, but he just doesn’t know where. On his way he . . . . . . flattens a stuffed otter (with a three-holed brick) . . . messes with a dog called The Beast (who bites kids’ willies off) and feeds biscuits to blue Louis (who puts the ‘poo’ into poodle). But however far or fast he goes, Danny can’t outrun the memories that have chased him ever since his identical twin brother died. Where can Danny hide when every day his own face reminds him of Finn? And where can Danny go when everywhere the shadows of his past stretch to forever? The poignant story of a bereaved boy who embarks on an emotional journey - and ultimately finds his way home.
