Sinopse

In "The Danger Trail," James Oliver Curwood unveils a gripping adventure set against the backdrop of the rugged Canadian wilderness. Written in the early 20th century, Curwood's style is rich with vivid descriptions and an immersive narrative that brings to life the harsh beauty of nature and the perilous journey undertaken by its characters. The story deftly intertwines themes of survival, the clash between civilization and nature, and the quest for personal redemption, encapsulated in the journey of protagonist, Hal Warden, who faces physical and moral challenges as he traverses this untamed land. Curwood's keen observations of wildlife and his profound respect for the natural world shine through, reflecting the burgeoning conservationist ethos of his time. James Oliver Curwood was a fervent lover of the outdoors, and his extensive travels through the Canadian wilds strongly influenced his writing. Born in 1878, Curwood was a prominent voice in early American fiction that highlighted nature's intrinsic value. His experiences as a hunter and adventurer not only enrich his storytelling but also frame his passionate advocacy for environmental preservation, elements that permeate "The Danger Trail" and reflect his commitment to wildlife conservation. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate tales of adventure woven with deep ecological themes. Curwood's storytelling evokes the spirit of exploration and triumph over adversity, making "The Danger Trail" an essential read for enthusiasts of nature literature, early 20th-century fiction, or anyone seeking an exhilarating journey into the heart of the wilderness.

    A soldier, a Malinois, and a stuntwoman walk onto a TV set . . . 
    Former Special Forces operator Sergeant Crew Gatlin takes everything in stride, even the career-ending incident that separated him from the Army, half a leg, and his beloved working dog, Havoc K027. Putting his life back together and lying low, he takes a job with A Breed Apart and is unexpectedly reunited with Havoc. It’s too good to be true—and the proof is in their first assignment: to work as a K-9 team for a television drama in Los Angeles. Miffed at being relegated to TV fodder, he’s willing to pay the price when he sees the stuntwoman. 
    Being a stunt double allows Vienna Foxcroft to fulfill her acting dream—with a side of MMA—and stay out of the limelight. The same one that plagued her childhood and put her through a nightmare scenario. Now, her tight-knit stunt team are the only ones she trusts. Then in walks Mr. Mountain-of-Muscle and his tough-as-nails dog, and Vienna has a bad feeling her life is about to turn upside down. 
    Ticked as they head overseas for a location shoot in Turkey, Crew guts it up—after all, he has Havoc again. Okay, and yeah—Vienna is going, too. When an attack sends the cast fleeing into the streets of Turkey, Vienna must face the demons of her past or be devoured by them. And Crew and Havoc are tested like never before. 
    Experience the high-octane thrill ride that is the first book in the A Breed Apart: Legacy series.

    The Flying Inn - A tale of...

    Progressive Islam takes over England, and two men go on the run with a barrel of rum and a wheel of cheese, intent on keeping English pub life alive. Packed with songs, satire, and style as only Chesteron could write."Perhaps prophetical more so than prosaic (and not at all in the sense Chesterton intended it) The Flying Inn is one of those books which should rank among the classics" - The Distributist Review"Chesterton said that the book he most enjoyed writing was The Flying Inn. He enjoyed creating the comical scenes as much as the polemical ones, the drinking songs as much as the bitter satire and the hard-edged debate. As the hero of the novel says, “It’s as innocent as Heaven and as hot as hell.” The novel is a vehicle for Chesterton to tee off against corrupt and ineffectual politicians who had not merely lost touch with common citizens but were actively taking away their basic rights and freedoms. Besides politicians, he also makes room on his skewer for journalists, textual critics, health gurus, idiot socialists and capitalist toadies. [...] the drinking songs in The Flying Inn [are] "true Temperance songs: temperance is about moderation not abstinence. Self-restraint and self-control are acts of freedom. Prohibition is not. Though drinking may be a caprice [...] it is a caprice that cannot be forbidden to a citizen, but can be forbidden to a slave.”And what are these drinking songs that came under such fire? Simply some of the dearest and most delightful poems that Chesterton or anyone else has ever written: The Song of Right and Wrong, The Song of the Dog Quoodle, Wine and Water, The Logical Vegetarian, The Good Rich Man, The Saracen’s Head, and The Rolling English Road."
