Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condición: Near Fine. 2008 Edition. © 2008: 3rd in the 'Jason Wander' series of books. 2nd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: Jason Wander is on the firing line again - but this time not as a soldier. He's about to discover that command itself can be an even greater challenge. In the years since the last S…lug War, Jason's command style hasn't made him any friends in the army. Now, in an effort to keep him out of trouble, the Army has sent Jason to the vast, Earth-orbiting resort called New Moon. At the core of this enormous space station is a starship, a relic of the last war. When a test run of the ship goes wrong, Jason, along with a handful of others, is torn from orbit and thrust into space. Now, stranded on an alien planet, Jason realises that not only are his friends looking to him for rescue, but an entire planet sees him as their only hope:- Review(s): Praise for Robert Buettner: "Penetrates to the heart of Heinlein's vision" - Washington Post / "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "As much action as any military SF fan could hope for" - John Scalzi / "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99). Cover Art: Calvin Chu (ilustrador).

When flares streaking across the sky herald massive destruction, who will defend us? When mankind's enemy i…s beyond our worst imagination, we will need champions. Will we pick the brightest and the toughest - or the ones with nothing left to lose? War is an Orphanage. Mankind's first alien contact tears into Earth: projectiles launched from Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, vaporise whole cities. Under siege, humanity gambles on one desperate counterstrike. In a spacecraft scavenged from scraps and armed with obsolete twentieth-century weapons, foot soldiers like eighteen-year-old Jason Wander - orphans that no one will miss - must dare to embark on man's first interplanetary voyage and invade Ganymede. They have one chance to attack, one ship to attack with. Their failure will be our extinction:- Review(s): "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman / "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "As much action as any military SF fan could hope for" - John Scalzi:- (original cost £6.99).

After seeing the deaths of his troops as well as his lover, this battle-scarred soldier is ready for peace.…At twenty-five, General Jason Wander has fought and won man's only alien conflict. Now, after long years in space, he's coming home. But to what? Earth's desperate nations, impoverished by war damage and military spending, are slashing defence budgets. There's just one problem with this new worldwide policy: the first alien invasion was merely Plan A. Suddenly, the real assault begins: Earth is attacked by a vast armada of city-sized warships. To block their invasion, mankind has only one surviving craft and a single guerilla strike force: a suicide squad led by Jason Wander:- Review(s): Praise for Robert Buettner: "'Orphanage' is raw and real - and a hell of a good read" - Kevin J Anderson / "The near future Buettner paints is as believable as it is terrible" - Joe Haldeman:- (original cost £6.99).

"Graham Robb tells the tremendous story of Hugo's life quite brilliantly." - The [London] Times. "Victor Hugo was the most important writer of the nineteenth century in France: the leader of the Romantic movement, revolutinary playwright, seminal poet, epic novelist, author of the last universally accessible masterpieces in the European tradition, among them Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He was also a radical political thinker (and eventual exile from France); a gifted painter and architect; a visionary and mystic who conversed with Virgil, Shakespeare, and Jesus Christ - in short a tantalizing, Protean personality who dominated, distracted, and maddened his comtemporaries. Attempts to explain this bewildering complexity have generated a literature of memorable paradoxes. If there were a being higher than God, wrote Ford Madox Ford, one would have to say that it was Victor Hugo. Andre Gide, asked who the greatest French poet was, replied, "Victor Hugo, alas!" And Jean Cocteau famously defined Victor Hugo as a madman who thought he was Victor Hugo. Graham Robb has written a magnificent and engaging biography that does full justice to the drama of his subject's life - a life that Robb calls "the most lucid case of madness in literature." By grasping the giant in his entirety, and in his many disguises, Robb rewards us with a panorama of French and European society from the Revolution to the dawn of the twentieth century." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Mr. Robb has written an enthralling book - one of the great biographies of our time. He deserves, and will probably get, the Legion d'Honneur." [London] Daily Telegraph. "Graham Robb's Victor Hugo has kept me from my own work for days - I sit down and start reading and can't stop. Robb's biography weaves together the life and the work with brilliant insight and with a lucid and elegant style that would make Hugo himself proud. This is truly a marvelous and extraordinary book, presenting Hugo in all his driving sexuality and his sometimes dark genius." - Richard Marius, author. Chu, Calvin (jacket design) (ilustrador).

Fine unread condition beige boards, black spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Michael B. Oren; Author Dedication; Chronology; Prologue: A Passage to Glory; Introducti…on: Recovering a Pivotal Past; Epilogue: A Profound and Visceral Gratitude; Notes; Bibliography; Acknowledgments; Illustration Credits and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates, black-and-white photographic frontispiece, and color illustrated front and rear endpaper maps. "The first comprehensive history of America's involvement in the Middle East from George Washington to George W. Bush. Beginning with the Barbary Wars of the eighteenth century and extending to the conflicts of today, the United States has been profoundly involved in the Middle East. America fought its first foreign war there and established its navy to meet a Middle Eastern threat. The region played a seminal role in shaping American identity - from the making of the U.S. Constitution to the writing of "The Star Spangled Banner." Americans also helped define the Middle East by forging its borders and introducing notions of national identity. The Middle East in turn inspired works by some of America's preeminent artists, including Herman Melville, Edith Wharton, and Mark Twain, and lured prominent leaders, among them Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. The region also attracted generations of Americans who, impelled by faith, sought to educate, modernize, and proselytize its peoples. Popularly perceived as a land of exoticism and danger, the Middle East has provided the backdrop for innumerable plays, songs, and movies. The object of controversial policies, it has formed the focus of intense public debate. Decision makers throughout the history of the United States have grappled with dilemmas in the Middle East and struggled to surmount its challenges. Power, Faith, and Fantasy tells the remarkable story of America's 230-year relationship with this crucial area. Drawing on a vast range of government documents, personal correspondence, and the memoirs of merchants, missionaries, and travelers, the book reconstructs the diverse channels through which the United States has interacted with the Middle East. The book also examines America's artistic legacy in the Middle East, exploring the dynamic ways in which popular culture in the United States has portrayed the region and its peoples. By distinguishing the recurrent themes in America's Middle East involvement and by tracing their evolution over the course of more than two centuries, the book reveals the continuity that binds this vital narrative in the nation's history. Masterfully narrated and compellingly told, Power, Faith, and Fantasy is a deeply original work by one of our finest historians." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Chu, Calvin (jacket design); Miller, Roman J. (jacket photograph); Bauer, Jerry (author photograph) (ilustrador).
