Dick Couch--The Warrior Elite_ The Forging of Seal C
Title: The Warrior Elite_ The Forging of Seal C
Author: Dick Couch
File Type: Mobi
Subject:History
Description:FromThere is a pod of good books on the SEALs, but this one is unique. Couch, a Vietnam-era SEAL and retired naval reserve captain, was given the most complete access possible to the demanding BUDS (Basic Underwater DemolitionSEAL) course and has recorded his observations, those of one who has been there and done a good deal of that. His account of Hell Week, the culmination of a formidable three-phase course intended to produce men who are physically, psychologically, and technically the best in the world at what they do, may leave the average reader short of breath. Few Hollywood stereotypes are on view; in their stead are a man who passed BUDS at age 39, a superb swimmer who was disqualified for sinus problems, and a trainee at the low end of the fitness scale who subsequently won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Also on view is much serious thought by serious thinkers on the making of warriors at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Roland Greenbr American Library Association. lt;ReviewstrongThe Warrior Elite isstrong the first book that captures how the SEAL spirit is tempered. It reveals all the grit, sweat, mud, and blood of BUIDS training -- real-time, down and dirty. This is a must-read if you want to know what becoming a virtual warrior is all about. -- Governor Jesse Ventura, BUDS Class 58 A wonderful, thought-provoking book by Dick Couch and a quick study of human personalities; his conclusions are optimistic and uplifting. -- Vice Admiral James Stockdale (USN. Ret.) Recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. br The Warrior Elite offers superb insight into the making of a Navy SEAL. Dick Couch takes the reader through the incredible challenges of basic training and into the minds of these unique warriors who comprise our nation's highly selective fighting force. Having served extensively with Dick in combat as junior officers in Vietnam, I now understand the how's and why's of his profession and the SEALs' commitment to mission. strongThe Warrior Elite strongcaptures the essence of a Navy SEAL -- the indomitable will to win and steadfast commitment to team. -- Robert J. Natter, Admiral, U.S. Navy, Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet An authentic voice that spells out what it takes to become a SEAL--the sheer grit to overcome all obstacles. America is lucky that it continues to attract such men as these to serve. -- Theodore Roosevelt IV, Class 36 From the Hardcover edition. -- Review

Title: Hell to Pay
Author: Simon R. Green
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fantasy:Detective
Description:From Publishers WeeklyLady Damnation, Old Father Time, a world weary Count Dracula and the hard-drinking storybook character Bruin Bear are only a few of the beings that Green produces for his seventh novel set in the sinister and psychedelic world of Nightside. None, however, are more powerful than the Griffin, an immortal who built his empire on the carcasses of foes, who has now summoned paranormal PI John Taylor to find his granddaughter. Taylor specializes in locating lost things; his Sight—which allows him to see into other dimensions—should be ideal for the task. But when an entity in the Griffins mansion blocks his abilities, Taylor must investigate the old-fashioned way: questioning the Griffins family members one by one. Taylors q&a sessions are less than thrilling, and the numerous references to the familys fearsome reputation grow tiresome. Fortunately, Green throws in a number of left-field surprises, spicing things up with an attack of fanatical nuns (called the Salvation Army Sisterhood), a bloodthirsty gangster and a DNA-stealing Charnel Chimera. Indeed, the most entertaining aspect lies not in Taylors investigation but in anticipating what Greens twisted imagination will conjure next. (Jan.) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. In the wake of the war that left the Nightside leaderless, Jeremiah Griffin-one of the last of the immortal human families-plans to fill the power vacuum. But his granddaughter has disappeared, and he wants John Taylor to use his special abilities to find her. Except someone-or something-is blocking Taylors abilities.

File Type: Mobi
Subject:Mystery:Historical
Description:From Library JournalVictorian socialites Thomas and Charlotte Pitt investigate the murders of two London aristocrats in this 15th installment in Perrys popular historical mystery series.br 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. FromRecent revelations about Perrys past--as a young girl in Australia, she was convicted of killing her best friends mother--will generate additional hype for her newest book, another entry in her popular Thomas and Charlotte Pitt mystery series. The book hit stores early--no doubt to capitalize on the convicted murderess brouhaha--and has been chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club main selection. But Perry is not just some flash-in-the-pan writer whose publicists decided to take advantage of a media scoop. To fans of the historical mystery, shes one of the masters of the genre. Her latest story, set as usual in turn-of-the-century London, has Inspector Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, investigating the mysterious death of Thomas mentor, Sir Arthur Desmond. The death has been ruled a suicide, but Sir Arthurs son is convinced his father was murdered for attempting to expose treason in the Colonial Office. Thomas and Charlotte begin to suspect that the nefarious Inner Circle, a group of highly influential but dangerously corrupt men, may be responsible for the killing. Perrys fascinating details of Victorian social customs, dress, language, politics, and behavior plus her usual engrossing plot virtually guarantee the success of another fine entry in an outstanding series.
