Price - $1.99
Flying with Cuckoos tells the true story of a journey of discovery, as a young and naïve Michael Clark leaves a desperately-unhappy adopted home, to join the armed forces, as a ‘boy apprentice’ before transferring into one of the most ill-disciplined and disreputable units in the British armed forces.
As the story unfolds, we follow his progress; from one-sided battles with school bullies in suburban England, to even-more one-sided battles with the S.A.S. in some of the world’s most dangerous and exotic places; from the jungles of South-East Asia, and the bullet-scarred shacks of Gaddafi’s ‘new’ Libya, through the tragedy of the war in Vietnam, and the hedonistic excess of swinging-sixties Bangkok and Singapore.
Funny, poignant, and at times outrageous, Flying with Cuckoos is a heart-warming story of hope and achievement, and the remarkable journal of a young man’s battle to survive and overcome.
Zuri Africa. An Orphan. A Love Story by Ruth Harris
Renny Kudrow, Director of the Kihali Animal Orphanage in Kenya, and his newly-hired vet, Starlite Higgins, must work together to save the life of a critically injured baby rhino. When Starlite panics at a critical moment, Renny makes it clear he thinks she is not up to the job. Starlite, in turn, finds him critical, remote and unfair.
Can Renny and Starlite, who each hide a terrible secret, overcome their mutual suspicion and learn to trust each other? Will they continue to ignore their growing mutual attraction? Will Zuri, the sad, little orphan whose mother was killed by poachers, survive?
ZURI--the word means "beautiful" in Swahili--is a romantic love story filled with drama and danger that leads to a well-earned happy ending. ZURI, based on extensive research into animal behavior and communication, will appeal to readers who have personally experienced the intense, almost mystical bond between humans and animals.
Higher Power by Claire Lachance
Max Caldwell has a power unlike that of anyone else: he can manipulate people’s dreams. After this power led to an accident that killed his parents, Max swore never to use it again. But when he encounters a young woman in a coma suffering from terrible nightmares, Max takes it upon himself to rescue her. The more he tries to help her, the more dangerous things gets for both of them.
