Book Description
A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier’s life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist people with disabilities. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being–until Luis. Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other’s souls.

As a war wages between the immortals of Atlantis and those of the vampire realm, a Poseidon warrior fights to save his world--and the woman he loves. And no risk is too great. The desires of a high priest. Alaric, Poseidon's High Priest, has made a vow to Quinn, the woman he loves and the leader of the Resistance: to save her friend Jack before his last bit of humanity has been drained. Should Alaric succeed, there's one intimate danger: he may lose Quinn to the love of the man whose life he saved. But damn Atlantis to the nine hells, he's willing to put Quinn's wishes first, regardless of the consequences. The warning of a threat reborn. The final jewel of Poseidon's trident has turned up in the hands of mysterious Ptolemy Reborn, who claims to be descended from Atlantean royalty. He's about to reveal to the world that Atlantis is real, positioning himself as king. But this magical terrorist is bent on chaos. The only warrior who can stop him is following his own path, driven by the even more powerful force of love. Atlantean powers over the sea could prove just as cataclysmic--for Quinn's love, Alaric might drown the entire world.

Book Description
I was abducted, sold, then crash-landed on a strange planet... only to be abducted again. And you know the funny thing? I barely even care. I'm numb. You see, I've already lost everything. When you're doing something you love, you never think that it could be the last time. That someone might take your life from you and leave you stranded on a planet where most of the locals are out to get you. Now I'm lying here, far from home, bleeding out in a trap built for a huge beast that could show up at any second and eat me. Which isn't quite how I pictured my death... But an alien warrior has found me instead. He says he can help me. Unfortunately, on this planet, I've heard that before. And it's never boded well for me. He's huge, arrogant, and he's got muscles in all the right places. Even a dying woman can appreciate the view when he takes off his shirt to keep me warm. I don't know if I even have it in me to save myself at this point, but two women are counting on me to get back to them with help. Can I trust the alien warrior to save us? And while he's saving my life, can he make me feel something... anything other than hopelessness?

Her alien saviors need to overcome their own obstacles too, but they claim she’s the key to their survival and demand her surrender. Given what she’s been through, trust isn’t something she offers freely, but if anyone can change her mind, it just might be them.

What readers are saying about Saved Warriors "This book is absolutely magnificent! I loved the characters so much! Kali is brave, sarcastic and strong. She’s been through a horrible experience in her past but she’s one tough cookie and holds her own even amongst aliens. Arana, Rorc and Mac are strong, possessive and domineering. I loved their stubbornness, thoughtfulness and determination to keep and protect their mate. They’re just absolutely wonderful and yummy. The chemistry between the four is out of this world and scorching hot. I loved how their relationship developed throughout the story. They might be strong each on their own, but together they are a force to be reckoned with. I really liked that we got a glimpse of both planets - Saber and Wravuk. Both look quite intriguing and beautiful. Overall, the story is filled with action, drama, fun, conflicts, alpha characters and sizzling romance. I loved every page of it and can’t wait for more stories from the Pyxis System!" Nevena, Goodreads "loved it !!! love this series !!! this is book 2, where are heroes all meet. Kali, Arana, Mes and Rorc. they are all broken and not only need each other but, complete each other. they are in an unique situation and have to accept it ASAP...danger is all around...you will cry and scream some more...and have hope..." Indie, Goodreads "This book was a very well-written story by a new favorite author to me, Aurora Welkin. This book 2 in Intergalactic Enosis: The Pyxis System Book Series was interesting and it had very well-thought out scenes, characters, and story. These characters have strong wills and personalities with realistic interactions.This wonderful story has the following: intrigue, twists, turns, adventure, action, love, steam and a HEA." Sara M., Goodreads "...Ms. Welkin has a way of drawing you into her stories with amazing storytelling and world building. She then takes you on a wild roller coaster ride and trust me you will need a fan and tall glass of iced tea in order to survive. Her characters are so delightfully flawed that you can't help cheer for their happily ever after..."

Book Description
Now with a new afterword by the author, the tenth-anniversary edition of Peter Heller’s “swashbuckling adventure” (Publishers Weekly) takes us on a hair-raising journey aboard a whale saving pirate ship with a vigilante crew whose mission is to stop illegal Japanese whaling in the stormy seas of Antarctica. The Whale Warriors is an adventure story set in the far reaches of the globe. For two months in 2005, journalist Peter Heller was aboard the Farley Mowat as it stalked its prey—a Japanese whaling fleet—through the storms and ice of Antarctica. The little ship is black, flies under a jolly roger, and carries members of the Sea Shepherd Society, a radical environmental group who are willing to die to stop illegal whale hunting. Heller recreates a nail-biting showdown when Captain Watson and his crew attempt to deliberately ram an enormous Japanese whaling ship, trying to tear open its hull with a steel blade called a “Can Opener.” In thirty-five-foot seas, a deadly game of Antarctic chicken begins. But while the ships are far from rescue, the world is watching. Japan threatens to send down defense aircraft and warships, Australia appeals for calm, New Zealand dispatches military surveillance aircraft, the US Office of Naval Intelligence issues a piracy warning, and international media begin to track the developing whale war. As Heller describes the slow, rusting, old Norwegian trawler Farley Mowat and the fast, new six ship whaling fleet of the Japanese, we also learn about the crisis of our oceans, which are on the verge of total ecosystem collapse. The exploitation of endangered whales is emblematic of an over-exploitation of the seas that is now entering its desperate denouement with our own survival in the balance. “A swift kick to any remaining complacency about the plight of our oceans” (National Geographic Adventure), The Whale Warriors is “two parts high seas swashbuckle and one part inconvenient truth” (Surfer).

Book Description
The Extraordinary Story Of The U.S. Coast Guard Since its founding more than two hundred years ago, the United States Coast Guard has rescued over a million people. On any given day, "Coasties" respond to 125 distress calls and save over a dozen lives. Yet despite having more than 50,000 active-duty and reserve members on every ocean and on our nation's coasts, great lakes, and rivers, most of us know very little about this often neglected but crucial branch of the military. In Rescue Warriors, award-winning journalist David Helvarg brings us into the daily lives of Coasties, filled with a salty maritime mix of altruism and adrenaline, as well as dozens of death-defying rescues at sea and on hurricane-ravaged shores. Helvarg spent two years with the men and women of the Coast Guard, from the halls of their academy in New London, Connecticut, to the frigid, storm-tossed waters of Alaska's Bering Sea, to the northern Persian Gulf, where they currently guard Iraqi oil terminals. The result is a masterpiece of adventure reporting---the definitive book on America's "forgotten heroes."

Book Description
The riveting story of how a young boy's upbringing with outlaw culture and charismatic role models forged him into an elite Marine and a decorated Pararescueman. "Absence of self is my sword" comprises the final line in "The Warrior's Creed," a 14th century poem written by an unknown Japanese Samurai, and this is the code Master Sergeant Roger Sparks embodied as a Recon Marine turned Alaskan Pararescueman. A living legend in the military, Sparks first made a name for himself within elite Marine Reconnaissance units. He went on to become an instructor where he trained future Reconnaissance Marines with unorthodox and ancient indigenous warrior techniques. A decade later, the same methods would keep him and others alive, when he hoisted into a maelstrom of violence to rescue an embattled platoon in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Introduced to a tough code of honor, family, and brotherhood from birth, Roger Sparks rose to become a distinguished instructor in Marine Reconnaissance and a Silver Star recipient as an Alaska Pararescueman. A raw and exhilarating tale of guts, grit, and heart, Warrior's Creed recounts the hidden side of special operations training, heroic and heartbreaking Alaskan wilderness rescues, and the surreal and deadly rescues during Operation Bulldog Bite in Afghanistan’s Watapur Valley. This powerful and inspirational story is as much of a self-help book as it is an edge of your seat military memoir. Warrior's Creed reveals a motivating and mindful approach to overcoming the odds, facing the impossible, and finding mercy and grace in the aftermath.
