The Blueline Anthology
Author: Rick Henry
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815607700
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Since 1979, the literary journal Blueline has served as a venue for literature that reflects the distinctive spirit of the Adirondack region. These poems and prose pieces, drawn from twenty-five years of Blueline's pages, represent the abundance and variety of creative responses to the singular geography and history of the Adirondacks. Read together, however, they do something more: they reveal a distinct way of looking at the world, attuned both to nature in all its various detail and to profound questions about nature and humanity. Under the editors' discriminating eyes, the contributions coalesce into a natural and elegant extension of the region's landscape and people. From Joseph Bruchac's "Writing by Moonlight" and Neal Burdick's "Waiting for a Train at the Plattsburgh Amtrak Station" to Alice Wolf Gilborn's "On Adirondack Porches," The Blueline Anthology offers rare glimpses into the soul of a region, brief and shifting views that, like those glimpsed by a hiker looking out from the trees at the blue mountains, capture the eye and the mind.

Book Description
NO WARNING. NO RULES. NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN. Freeman and McBride. On opposite sides of the most bitter divide since the Civil War, two warriors found in each other the perfect enemy: implacable, unforgiving, unwilling to leave anything to chance. And in the war between the USA and the Militia, Gen. Douglas Freeman and master guerrilla strategist "Lucky" McBride are each fighting for the only thing they believe in: complete victory at any cost. While Freeman won round one, putting McBride's top soldiers behind barbed-wire prison fences, McBride and the Militia are most dangerous when cornered—and they're about to strike back. McBride has his eye on the big prize: the most magnificent American weapon anywhere in the world. Killing when he has to, striking out of thin air, and moving his shock troops like chess pieces, McBride is taking aim. And if he hits his target, the cost in lives will be staggering. As for Freeman, he'll use guerrilla tactics to find the Militia at a secret fortress already running with blood—and then take aim himself....

The Grenadier Guards in the Great War 1914-1918 Vol 2
Author: Sir Frederick Ponsonby
Publisher: Andrews UK Limited
ISBN: 1781510652
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
The Grenadier Guards began the war with three battalions of which only one, the 2nd, was committed to the BEF; it was in the 4th Guards Brigade, 2nd Division. As soon as war was declared the 4th (Reserve) Battalion was formed and within five days 1,700 reservists had reported. In September 1914 the 7th Division was formed and the1st Battalion was allocated to 20th Brigade of the new division. On 14th July 1915 another Grenadier battalion was formed and numbered the 4th, the Reserve battalion then became the 5th. A month later the 4th battalion went to France to join the newly created Guards Division, and it was at this stage, also, that the 3rd Battalion, which hitherto had been retained in London by Kitchener for some undefined reason, was sent out to join the new division. Thus, by August 1915 there were four battalions of Grenadiers on the Western front where they remained for the rest of the war. By the end the Regiment had suffered 11,915 casualties of which 203 Officers and 4,508 Other Ranks were dead, seven VCs had been won and 34 Battle Honours awarded. This, as might be expected, is a very good history with detailed descriptions of the fighting and of the conditions the men endured. One sentence in particular paints a graphic picture of the state of the trenches in January 1915: The gruesome task of removing the dead was effected by floating the bodies down the communication trenches. The author tells the story in chronological order; vol I takes the record of the four battalions to the end of 1915, vol II to the German offensive of March 1918 and vol III to the armistice and beyond to the division's march into Germany. Each volume is paginated separately with its own contents list though the chapters run consecutively through all three. Each chapter covers a specific period and the chapter heading indicates which battalions are involved. There are plenty of maps to support the narrative, showing tactical details. Among the appendices are the Roll of Honour, a list of officers wounded with dates, lists of Awards, Mentions in Despatches and of Divisional Certificates of Gallantry and an account of the 7th (Guards) Entrenching Battalion. There is a table naming all other ranks who were commissioned during the war showing the regiment or corps to which they went. Finally there is an index to the names of officers.

Beyond the Blue Moon
Author: Simon R. Green
Publisher: Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.
ISBN: 1936535009
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
It has been many years since the long night of the Blue Moon. King Harald is dead, and chaos reigns in the Forest Kingdom. The long-lost heroes of Blue Moon Rising must return in order to save the nation of their birth--and it might already be too late. Favorite characters return, and a stunning revelation about the true identities of two Haven cops (whom readers will recognize from Green's popular Hawk & Fisher series) awaits. At long last, revisit the world of the Blue Moon. A continuation of several of New York Times-bestselling author Simon R. Green's most beloved series, Beyond The Blue Moon was chosen as one of the year's best books by Science Fiction Chronicle, who wrote "If they’re making fantasy adventure much better than this, I don’t know about it." Locus lauded it as "an engrossing adventure", and Library Journal declared that "this fast-moving, wise-cracking sequel to Blue Moon Rising belongs in most fantasy collections."
