Never: Ken Follett
$10.00In the Sahara Desert, two elite intelligence agents are on the trail of a powerful group of drug-smuggling terrorists, risking their lives - and, when they fall desperately in love, their careers - at every turn. Nearby, a beautiful young widow fights against human traffickers while traveling illegally to Europe with the help of a mysterious man who may not be who he says he is. In China, a senior government official with vast ambitions for himself and his country battles against the older Communist hawks in the government, who may be pushing China - and its close military ally, North Korea - to a place of no return. And in the United States, Pauline Green, the country's first woman president, navigates terrorist attacks, illegal arms trading, and the smear campaigns of her blustering political opponent with careful and deft diplomacy. She will do everything in her power to avoid starting an unnecessary war. But when one act of aggression leads to another, the most powerful countries in the world are caught in a complex web of alliances they can't escape. And once all the sinister pieces are in place, can anyone - even those with the best of intentions and most elite skills - stop the inevitable? -
Told through the eyes of Langdon Towne, this story centers around the exploits and character of Robert Rogers, the leader of Rogers' Rangers, a colonial force fighting with the British during the French and Indian War. The book is divided into two distinct parts; the first part is a meticulous recreation of the raid by Rogers' Rangers on the Indian village at Saint-François-du-Lac, Quebec (Saint Francis) and a settlement of the Abenakis, an American Indian tribe. The second part covers Rogers' later life in London, England and Fort Michilimackinac, Michigan. The first part of the book was made into a highly rated film in 1940, starring Spencer Tracy and Robert Young, only three years after the book was published. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Passage_(film) -
"Number One, stand by to pick up survivors," Dutchy Holand said, as casually as if he had ordered a cup of tea brought up. In the next instant there came another voice on Jackal's quiet and unalarmed bridge and it sprang from the radio-telephone receiver. It was Stapleton's voice, crisp but not alarmed: "Jackal, this is Cooktown. No doubt you've noticed that the enemy's bow has turned? It's now directly facing you. Over." There was a moment of stunned silence amongst the relaxed officers. Then came another voice on Jackal's bridge. It was an explosion... -
