Book Description
“What was life like on a destroyer during World War II? Find out by reading Michael Keith Olson’s superb telling of tales of the war in the Pacific as seen from the deck of a very luck ‘tin can”… The son of a former Dale crewman, Olson interviewed 44 veterans and delved deeply into official documents to give this book the air of authenticity that puts the reader in the heart of the action. “Tales from a Tin Can is the first oral history of one combat ship’s adventures, sometimes comic, sometimes mundane, sometimes heart wrenching, over the entire course of America’s involvement in the Pacific. An impressive accomplishment and highly recommended.” WWII History “This fascinating book captures not only the furious clashes with the Japanese but also the humdrum days in-between and the heart-stopping encounters with typhoons that could be as lethal as any engagement with the enemy. Anyone interested in stories from World War II will find this well-illustrated account of the naval campaign in the Pacific fascinating.” Register –Pajaronian Looking up from his newspaper from where he sat on the deck of the destroyer USS Dale, Harold Reichert could see the pilot plain as day--the leather helmet with chin strap, the goggles, and then the red rising sun painted on the planes fuselage. "I saw the torpedo drop and watched as it ran up on the old Utah." It was daybreak at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the beginning of the war, and the Dale was there; she would serve until the end, when the atomic bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered. In the words of those who manned her, the Dales war comes vividly to life in this first oral history of a combat ship from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay. From carrier raids on Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Solomons to the bombarding of Saipan and Guam in the capture of the Marianas, from the Aleutians in the far north to strikes on Tokyo and Kobe, Tales from a Tin Can recreates the action aboard the Dale, and conveys as never before the true grit of wartime on a destroyer.

Book Description
This book is a gift from God. There is no other way for me to fully explain the origin of this tale's unscripted, spiritual relevancy. It challenges you to ponder a question. Why do we, in a world full of facts, tend to imagine way beyond worldly limits and attain delight in words that yield far more than was said. Consider this. We were created for a life more pertinent than what a skeptical world wants to convince us is all there will be! I am assured of one thing. Physical facts will falter when the Creator of all raises his hand. Longfellow's Tale was written with God's truth. His Word never fails! Come on an adventure of discovery and learn the truth that is more than a story. Let Jesus direct your steps to a place you will want to stay for eternity. You have a choice to declare and it is yours to make alone. Or as loved. You decide. Find the branch that leads to his tree. He's waiting.

Book Description
The Cerik raid on supernova-damaged Earth was a failure, but with a pair of humans in his claws, the leader hoped to breed a new race of slaves to replace the Builders, their technologists, that they had wiped out in a fit of revenge. Born of necessity, this pact between Abe and Sharon of Texas and the Cerik, was the genesis of the U’tanse, a psychically gifted splinter of humanity—trapped by violent masters and made to be slaves on a poisonous world. Read these tales from the first generations of a new humanity: James, the first boy born without telepathy in a world where everyone else could read him, has to save the life of a girl who was too telepathic. Karl, abandoned to die as too expensive to rescue, has to survive without being detected—no free U'tanse could be tolerated! Debbie, sent off to Festival where girls were swapped to keep inbreeding low, has to choose between a new life with another clan, or to leave with a strange man who offers an alternative on a secret project. Beginning with Star Time, Henry Melton is crafting a tale of human destiny, on Earth and across the stars—The Project Saga.

A home that held more than strange traditions and bizarre superstitions.Twenty-four years later, she returned to Weeping Hollow, a haunting town she'd only heard about in stories during restless nights under a marble moon, to meet her last living relative.They called her a freakshow--a ghost. They said I couldn't go near her. Still, there was this aching pull to Fallon Grimaldi that I couldn't escape. A nostalgic pull as if we'd been here before. Once upon a time, there lived a mysterious man named Julian with a curse as old as centuries wrapped around his soul. He was one of the four Hollow Heathens, the very dark creatures who caused the town's people to live in fear. And the Blackwell name was stained with darkness and death. They called him a monster. Cold and hollow. They said I shouldn't go near him. Still, there was this aching pull to Julian Blackwell that I couldn't escape. A nostalgic pull as if we'd been here before.
