Paperback. Zustand: Good. No one is coming to your aid. We have ensured this.   Six strangers wake up on a remote island in the Florida Keys with no memory of their arrival. They soon discover their common bond: all of them are heroin addicts. As the first excruciating pangs of withdrawal make themselves felt, the six notice a yacht anchored across open water. On it lurk four shadowy figures, protected by the hungry sharks that patrol the waves. So begins a dangerous game. The six must undertake the impossible--swim to the next island where a cache of heroin awaits, or die trying. When alliances form, betrayal is inevitable. As the fight to survive intensifies, the stakes reach terrifying heights--and their captors' motives finally begin to emerge.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Abraham Lincoln was an unlikely candidate for president, to put it mildly. Raised in a series of humble cabins on the frontier and mostly self-taught, the gangly farmer and shopkeeper had little in common with the Founding Fathers, with one exception: a deep and abiding belief in America's still-fragile experiment in democracy. Turning his quick mind and gregarious personality to politics, Lincoln climbed quickly through state and national politics, before being elected president in 1860 on the eve of the Civil War. During that bloody and devastating conflict, Lincoln's tenacity, strategic brilliance, and plain-spoken eloquence not only helped keep the nation together through its darkest hours but also set the course for a reconciliation that he would not live to see. Filled with historical drama and packed with rare illustrations, Lincoln: The Man Who Saved America weaves the already fascinating biography of Abraham Lincoln into the story of the most perilous period in American history.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In reading World War I The 103d Cactus Division Story the reader becomes embedded with the U.S. troops as they wage battle after battle with the Nazi's. After the war ended, Newspaper reporters and members of the 103d, Ralph Mueller and Jerry Turk produced a book Report After Action The Story of the 103d Infantry Division. A copy of the book sat in the Innsbruck Library Stadtbucherei Innsbruck] for years following the war. When conducting research for the book Bunker Treasures the author happened into the Library to see if there were maps of the area showing abandoned rail road tracks from World War I. The director of the Library was called, and, and in hearing the request she asked me to wait and disappeared back into the inner sanctum of the building. When she came back, she was holding a only a frayed copy of a book with the insignia of a green cactus on blue ground and a yellow sky on the cover. The book you are about to read is based on that frayed copy. It is dedicated to the brave souls who fought with honor and determination through the challenging final stages of World War I and to those who gave their lives on the long road fighting the Nazi's from Marseilles to Innsbruck. djv murphy.…

Zustand: Good. Former police officer Kent Anderson, author of the memorable Vietnam War novel Sympathy for the Devil, returns with a powerful new novel about a Vietnam-vet cop who still carries the war inside himself. Searing and brutally honest, Night Dogs plunges us into the free-fire zones of our cities, where the legendary thin blue line is breaking down. The North Precinct of Portland, Oregon, is home to two kinds of cops: sergeants and lieutenants who've screwed up somewhere else, and patrolmen who thrive on the action on the Avenue. Officer Hanson is the second kind, a veteran who has traded his Bronze Star for a badge. War is what Hanson knows, and in this battle for Portland's meanest streets, he's fighting not so much for the law as for his own code of justice. Hanson is a man who seems to fear nothing--except his own memories. And it is his past that could destroy him now: An enemy in the department is determined to bring him down by digging into his war record and resurrecting the darkest agonies of that nightmare time. And Hanson himself risks everything--his career, his equilibrium, even his life--when the only other survivor of his Special Forces unit comes back into his life. Doc Dawson is a drug dealer and a killer.but he's the one man Hanson can trust. Night Dogs is an extraordinary work from a powerful and authentic voice in American fiction. Recoiling from the violence that Hanson deals with every day, the violence that is in Hanson, readers will also understand the compassion that drives him. A novel remarkable for its razor-sharp characterizations and dialogue, its freshness of observation, Night Dogs--and Hanson--will remain etched in the memory for a long time to come.…
