Description

“Karmic Rendition: A Novel of Pancho Villa Avenged” is a graphic depiction of the ruthlessness that permeates our Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of government; hence, it’s about the loose cannon bureaucrats who run our beloved and sacred Constitutional form of government. It’s a novel where “East meets West” in a vile and cunning way. Karmic Rendition is all about Karma. From Japan to the United States, and from Canada to Mexico, Karmic Rendition exposes and deals with extraordinary rendition on a personal level, which soon spirals out of control. A Burma Triangle of sorts, starring private detective Rick Olson, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Rhinehart, and Pancho Villa (V) who must fight to overcome insurmountable odds because of their fate—extraordinary rendition—that’s right, government sanctioned kidnapping. And in today’s terrorist environment, any of us could be swallowed up by the forces of so-called good, and swept away in the middle of the night to a dark dungeon never to see the light of day again. Has America become them (the USSR) and they’ve become us (the USA)? The emperor has clothes, or is that sheep’s clothing? It doesn’t matter: The spirit of Pancho Villa permeates and resides in every aspect of this novel. Is there such a thing as: Karma? Think of it this way: What goes around comes around... Can Pancho Villa’s tarnished reputation be revived from the savage annals’ of history? Time will tell… That it will.

The Boys of Diamond Hill

The Boys of Diamond Hill In April 1861, brothers Daniel and Pressley Boyd left their farm in Abbeville County, South Carolina, to join the Confederate army. The Civil War soon swept their other brothers, William, Thomas and Andrew, as well as brother-in-law Fenton Hall into service. By the war's end, only Daniel survived. The extensive collection of letters the Boyds left behind, assembled for the first time, details their experiences across almost every theater of the war and offers commentary on many aspects of soldier life--from illness, death, and religion to friendly fire, desertion, and politics. Few families sacrificed as much to the Confederate cause as did the Boyds. Their letters remain a testament to their commitment and reveal the profound human impact of war.

A Diamond in the Desert

A Diamond in the Desert For Tetsu, baseball is so much more than just a game On December 6, 1941, Tetsu is a twelve-year-old California boy who loves baseball. On December 7, 1941, everything changes. The bombing of Pearl Harbor means Tetsu's Japanese-American family will be relocated to an internment camp. Gila River camp isn't technically a prison, but with nowhere to go, nothing to do, and no time frame for leaving, it might as well be. So when someone has the idea of building a baseball diamond and starting a team, Tetsu is overjoyed. But then his sister gets dangerously sick, forcing him to choose between his family and his love of the game. This is an impeccably researched, lyrical story about baseball, honor, and a turbulent period in U.S. history.

Singapore Burning: Heroism and Surrender in World War II

Singapore Burning: Heroism and Surrender in World War II Churchill's description of the fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942, after Lt-Gen Percival's surrender led to over 100,000 British, Australian and Indian troops falling into the hands of the Japanese, was no wartime exaggeration. The Japanese had promised that there would be no Dunkirk in Singapore, and its fall led to imprisonment, torture and death for thousands of allied men and women. With much new material from British, Australian, Indian and Japanese sources, Colin Smith has woven together the full and terrifying story of the fall of Singapore and its aftermath. Here, alongside cowardice and incompetence, are forgotten acts of enormous heroism; treachery yet heart-rending loyalty; Japanese compassion as well as brutality from the bravest and most capricious enemy the British ever had to face.

Nightmare in Bangkok

Nightmare in Bangkok Andy Botts began his criminal activities as a young 'car banger' in his native Hawaii before graduating to drug-dealing and trafficking. After a number of successful and highly lucrative drug runs to Bangkok and Bali (though not without some chillingly close calls), Botts was betrayed by a close associate. Arrested at Bangkok's Don Muang International Airport with 114 grams of heroin in his possession, he narrowly escaped execution by firing squad. But his reprieve - a prison sentence of life plus two years in Bangkok's most notorious prison, dubbed the Bangkok Hilton - threw him into a nightmare world where the only rules were no rules. During his incarceration in Bangkok, Botts met prisoners from around the world, including an Australian arms dealer and several Australians convicted of smuggling drugs. Nightmare in Bangkok is Botts' all-too-true account of how he managed to survive his ordeal and emerge a very changed man at the end of a fearsome journey through hell.
