Set in the misty, mountainous jungles of Vietnam, near the Laotian border, a company of Marines faces unnerving circumstances. Each Marine struggles with individual fears and must find alliances within the company in order to survive the grueling thirteen-month tour. This book has been compared to The Thin Red Line or The Naked and the Dead and I can truly see why. The story haunts you long after you have flipped the final page.

When searching for the best possible human, a dog must choose carefully. This book will certainly help in that quest. Written as a guide for dogs, Training People is also helpful for the prospective person to know just what a dog is looking for in a good human. Reading it let me know, to my relief, that I have indeed been successfully trained.

I love reading history books but even I will admit that some can be a bit of a
slog to get through. American Rifle, however, is not one of these books.
Starting from the American Revolution and continuing on to the present, Rose
paints a colorful portrait of a device that has shaped our nation. You will
meet some interesting characters along the way and learn about the politics,
industry and culture of the rifle in our country all while getting an
enjoyable glimpse of American history. There is something here for everyone,
no matter the opinion on arms control.

David Bellavia has provided an epic and often brutal account of the battle for Fallujah. His memoir, House to House reveals what it is truly like to be an infantry soldier in Iraq and sheds light on how this war has provided training and battle experience to those willing to fight the United States. This book stands out as one of the best military history/military biography books I have ever read. - Eon Alden

Find yourself secretly fascinated by the undead but not interested in a gooey, somewhat smelly love story? Well, with a Faustian foundation, mixed with a touch of Roald Dahl for humor, this novel is a wonderful alternative. Johannes Cabal, a brilliant and determined scientist, has exchanged his soul with Satan for a… well… particular skill. Cabal finds he needs his soul back, however, to continue his pursuit of science. Can he deceive the Deceiver? I found myself rereading certain lines just to have an extra chuckle and before long I was sympathizing with some very questionable characters.

Set during the French and Indian War, this book offers a detailed glimpse of a unique man redefining the nature of combat in a conflict often overshadowed by the American Revolution and the Civil War. If you are looking for pioneering spirit and brutal high adventure this book will keep you up at night or like me, late returning from lunch breaks. -- Eon Alden

As a kid, bats and baseball were both of great fascination to me, making Bats at the Ballgame the perfect kid’s book in my mind. Author, Brian Lies does a terrific job in relating the bonding qualities of the game among generations of family members. He captures the drama a great baseball game has with rich illustrations and wonderful text. As a baseball fan, I enjoyed the portion of the grandfather-bat relating the history of past great players to his young grandson-bat, something that is unique to the game. – Eon Alden

Jeff Shaara's newest novel begins a trilogy set during World War II. The
Rising Tide takes the reader to desert North Africa, where British troops and
Rommel's fierce Afrika Corps struggle for a breakthrough. America's infant Army has yet to be tested in battle and no one is certain if the Vichy French will resist or aid the Allies in pushing the Germans back. Taking the perspectives of key leaders from both sides, Shaara offers insight into the decisions and obstacles each man faced. Through the eyes of tankers and paratroopers, Shaara cleverly shows the frustrations, anxiety and destruction attributed to this early Allied offensive.
