The Book of Lester
At 19 Lester John was an Olympic hopeful with all of the promise in the world. One accident took it all away. 11 years later he is tortured by the physical and mental pain of losing the only thing he ever wanted. Hung over, he stumbles into work Monday morning as his supervisor calls him into her office. To his surprise she gives him a week off to answer two questions, "Do you find any sense of accomplishment from your job and are you satisfied with your life?" The catch: she hands him a small book that has the power to give him his dreams back. Meanwhile, his best friend Jerry Humberger is on the brink of creating the perfect marijuana plant called, "SUPER-WEED" that will revolutionize the drug industry. Friendships will be tested as these two factory workers in rural Pennsylvania will both stumble upon discoveries that will put them on opposite sides of a hidden war. A novel of supernatural suspense and a love triangle that could make one man the most powerful person in the world.

The quietly beautiful linked stories in Lester Higata’s 20th Century bring us close to people who could be, and should be, our friends and neighbors and families. Starting in 1999 with his conversation with his father, continuing backward in time throughout his life with his wife, Katherine, and their children in Hawai‘i, and ending with his days in the hospital in 1946, a...

The Bear Went Over the Mountain
counterinsurgency punctuated by moments of heady excitement and terror. Colonel Grau, the editor and translator, has added his own commentary to produce a useful guide for commanders to meet the challenges of this kind of war and to help keep his fellow soldiers alive. This book will also be of interest to the historian and general reader, who will discover that advances in technology have had little impact on this kind of war, and that many of the same tactics the British Army used on the Northwest Frontier still apply today.
