Book Description
A journey to the green inferno of the African jungle brings one man face to face with his macabre past. Every year the storks would set off on their astounding 12,000-mile migration from Northern Europe to the remote Central African Republic.

Book Description
Flight of the Black Stork is about the ultimate tragedy of right versus right. When their ancient civilization approached its end, the aliens prayed for salvation. Their god heard the prayers of his chosen people and gave them a promised land for their deliverance. Unfortunately, it was Earth. When extra-terrestrial ships jump a battle damaged B-24 returning from a strike over Germany, Tuskegee Airmen flying escort aggressively fight off the attack in their Red Tailed P-51s. This engagement marked the beginning of the alien fifty-year reconnaissance and invasion plan. A daring surprise attack is launched against the enemy-staging base in the Moon's Aitken basin using the Black Stork, a Russian space shuttle resurrected from the bone yard, bristling with biochemical and nuclear weapons. Be prepared for a punch in the gut as each chapter slams you with a high G afterburner climb of mounting action, inspiring imperfect characters and a steamy, love story riding in the rear cockpit. The breathtaking finale thunders with history, hope, and guts and you'll be thinking about this book for a long time.

Book Description
Everything you ever wanted to know about storks, ibises and spoonbills. Some of the world's largest and most spectacular birds are to be found among this group of wading birds. Tragically, they also include many of the world's most endangered species, as changes in land use erode their wetland habitats. Some like the White Stork have lived alongside humans for hundreds of years and are well known from numerous studies. Others, like the Storm's stork and ibises of West Africa, South-East Asia and South America live so secluded a life in the remote corners of the globe that they will probably be extinct before even the most basic details of their biology are known. In this monograph, three authors and two artists have combined their skills to capture what is known of this group of wading birds. The text opens with general chapters on taxonomy and feeding, breeding and behaviour, followed by detailed coverage of each species.
