The Beirut Protocol by Joel C. Rosenberg
Trapped behind enemy lines. Brutally tortured and threatened with death. And the worst is yet to come. Special agent Marcus Ryker has spent his whole life protecting others, but this time his own life is in danger.
When a routine advance trip along the Israeli-Lebanese border goes wrong, American operatives are ambushed and captured by a rogue Hezbollah special forces team. If Marcus and his colleagues are tortured and executed on live television, the president will have to enter another war he likely can’t win.
Marcus faces a life-or-death battle, and the odds of survival are narrowing. Escape seems impossible. Rescue is a fading hope. This is the CIA’s most valuable operative as you have never seen him before. Purchase at https://amzn.to/35Po5Ci.
First Dog on Earth by Irv Weinberg
“Heartwarming story about relationships among people and dogs.”
At the dawn of civilization, a wolf-dog befriends an old hunter and revives his alpha powers among his human tribe. Together with the animal’s pack, they discover a new way of life — a shared odyssey of survival and trust that grows into the most successful partnership the Earth has ever known, changing dogs and humans forever.
This is the poetic story of how civilization progresses all because of the abilities the dogs bring the tribe. How does the greatest love story in history begin? With a leap into the unknown. “Like no other book you’ve read!” Purchase at http://amzn.to/38pfW8j.
How to Train Hoomans: A Field Guide by Gwen Romack
This is the light-hearted and funny read we so desperately need in these not-so-light-hearted times — and the perfect Mother’s Day gift for those dog-loving moms.
Follow this unique story told by an extraordinary dog, Finn. He’s irreverent, funny and full of sass. Based on his real life, join Finn as he issues weekly reports back to K9 Rescue Headquarters on the strange behaviors and rituals of his rescue-“hoomans.”
With sarcastic wit, he observes the curious world around him, heroically saves his unwitting hoomans from dangers (see also: evil electric toothbrush), and shares his musings about the often-lackluster level of service he feels he receives. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3bzqKDV.
Waxing Pathetic by M.B. Clark
Waxing Pathetic is a merging of personal commentary and memoir couched in a humorous voice. From a sardonic perspective, readers are treated to a stream of consciousness that picks and nibbles at the human experience. From the pathetic to the political, the lunatic to the poetic, Merry Clark’s memoir is a masterwork of dry wit and piercing observation.
Organized in five major sections, each carries a unique theme that is hung upon the overriding concept of the pathetic principle. Readers will see real events merge with dream-state fiction to elicit a deeper truth than just memories can provide. Great insights into how a modern woman thinks.
