James and the Duck

Author: Faan Martin
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1467013722
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 286

Book Description
A very different tongue-in-cheek personal account about a forgotten war. Between 1964 and 1980 Rhodesian men from all walks of life left their families and jobs to fight for their country. They were farmers, bankers, railwaymen, shopkeepers, miners and even Members of Parliament, who every six weeks, changed their soft civilian life for battle dress, rifles and grenades. These are their stories. It's not really about war heroes. It's more about bluestone charged, but still lustful troops coping with fighting terrorists, boredom, longing, fear and death. All this set against the background of Africa's sweltering heat, annoying insects, dangerous animals and venomous snakes. Definitely not for the faint-hearted. The reader will meet a long suffering prisoner-of-war, infantry soldiers, helicopter gunship pilots, tribesmen, pompous army officers, mercenaries and even a duck. Some of the personal incidents will have you laughing and crying at the same time. No matter how you view the Rhodesian Bush War, you will enjoy the humour and at times satire and even sadness of this true account of how men coped with the horrors and hardships of war.

Book Description
'A fantastic road trip...wild, wicked, sweet, painful, courageous, outrageous, and obscene' New York Times Never the most conventional of private detectives, C. W. Sughrue is called in to solve a far from traditional missing persons case. A beautiful woman has vanished, and Sughrue is set to be the next in a long line of people who have tried to find her: the FBI, her well-connected Republican husband, and – most worryingly – a group of South American drug dealers. And his only clue is a hollowed-out sculpture of a duck. From Montana to the Mexican border, Sughrue embarks on a wild ride, as he finds himself in and out of trouble – and the beds of one or two women. And, as he runs from his memories of Vietnam, he ponders the meaning of loyalty and revenge. This is a journey like no other from the pen of James Crumley, the master of a generation of crime writers.

Book Description
Mild-mannered Drake Mallard leads a pretty average life: relaxing at home, helping his daughter Gosalyn with her homework, and palling around with his best buddy Launchpad McQuack. But this suburban pastoral doesn’t make for very exciting comics. Good thing Drake is secretly the daring duck of mystery, the crime-fighting powerhouse, Darkwing Duck! (Whew, for a moment there we were worried this would be the most boring solicitation copy in history!) Darkwing Duck, alongside Launchpad, Gosalyn and their many allies, fought the forces of darkness in his beloved city of St. Canard for years, keeping the citizens safe from an endless supply of increasingly ridiculous supervillains. Then, just as suddenly as he appeared, Darkwing slipped into the shadows, not to be seen or heard from again. But what sinister scenario could send St. Canard’s stalwart sentinel into seclusion? Just how safe was the city he left behind? And what’s going on with the creepy robotic “protectors” the mysterious Quackwerks Corporation has rolled out to take Darkwing’s place? When the utopian shine begins to wear off, St. Canard will need her superhero once again… but is the Duck Knight ready to take on his most malevolent menace yet? Collecting the entire out-of-print and sold-out comic book series for the first time in one volume, this 400-page blockbuster is big enough to knock out a burglar! (Although we ask you leave crimefighting to the professionals!) Completely remastered and revised, this titanic tome also features an all new epilogue, making it without a doubt, “The Definitively Dangerous Edition!” He is the terror that flaps in the night! He is the creased binding in this over 400-page keepsake edition of crime – he is Darkwing Duck!
