Synopsis

In "From School to Battle-field," Charles King presents a poignant narrative that captures the transformative journey of young soldiers as they transition from the innocence of education to the harsh realities of warfare during the late 19th century. Through vivid descriptions and compelling anecdotes, King employs a lyrical, yet stark prose style that immerses the reader in the emotional and psychological complexities faced by individuals molded by their academic environments before being thrust into conflict. This book serves as both a historical account and a critique of militarism, reflecting the broader societal attitudes toward war in post-Civil War America. Charles King, a veteran officer with firsthand experience in the theater of war, draws on his extensive military background to infuse authenticity and depth into his narrative. His unique perspective as an educator and soldier informs his exploration of the implications of war on youth, capturing the dichotomy of scholarly pursuits versus the brutal realities of battle. This duality in King's life experiences provides a nuanced lens through which he examines the interplay of education, duty, and sacrifice. Readers interested in military history, education, or the psychological effects of war will find King'Äôs work compelling and thought-provoking. "From School to Battle-field" not only highlights the lost potential of soldiers but also serves as a cautionary tale about the costs of conflict, making it a valuable addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the profound impacts of war.

    SILENT ROAD (A Sheila Stone Suspense Thriller—Book 11) is the eleventh book in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller The Perfect Wife (a free download) has received over 20,000 five star reviews.
    
    With her Olympic dreams crumbled, Sheila, 28, struggles to find her place back home. She is surrounded by reminders of what could have been, stuck inside the shadow of her older sister: the golden child, the respected sheriff. But when her sister persuades her to join the local police force, Sheila’s life and career start anew.
    
    As she hunts serial killers, Sheila notices clues that others miss and offers a perspective that no one else has. She realizes she has a talent outside of fighting, and that she has a chance to embrace a new life in Salt Lake—a life outside the ring.
    
    This is a different kind of ring, though. Sheila quickly realizes that to survive, she will need more than just her strength—she’ll need a brilliance to match that of even the most diabolical killer….
    Can Sheila win this match? Or will she finally lose it all?
    
    A page-turning and harrowing suspense thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the SHEILA STONE series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
