Book excerpt: Stranger, go and tell the Spartans That we lie here, obedient to their commands. Since the late 20th century, the Soviet-American CoDominium had kept the peace, both on Earth and among the stars. But now the CoDominium is dying, and its death-throes will be terrible; already the nations arm for their final battle. With Earth doomed, mankind's sole hope for a future worth having rests on a planet called Sparta, a planet where American idealists have raised once more the banner of a liberty that has been forgotten amid the corruptions and tyrannies of Earth. The Spartans know that they must be strong to survive; that is why they hired John Christian Falkenberg and his Legion to train them. What the Spartans do not know is that Falkenberg's enemies have become their own¾that Grand Senator Bronson's techno-ninja will follow the Legion to Sparta, and there wreak a terrible vengeance aimed at ending the Spartan experiment before it has fairly begun . . . At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Book Synopsis Incident at Muc Wa by : Daniel Ford

Download or read book Incident at Muc Wa written by Daniel Ford. This book was released on 2012-08-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In April 1964, Daniel Ford opened his mail to find a check for $1,250-- an advance against royalties on Now Comes Theodora, his first novel, which Doubleday published the following year. Meanwhile the money bought a ticket to Saigon, where he spent three months with American advisors, helicopter crews, Seals, and Special Forces teams on their rounds of South Vietnam. There were 25,000 American military personnel and only fifty reporters in the country that summer. Almost all were volunteers, very few bothered with body armor, and nobody wore a steel helmet. The experience inspired Incident at Muc Wa and the Burt Lancaster film Go Tell the Spartans. 'Sad, bawdy, and compelling, ' wrote the reviewer from the Detroit Free Press."--Page 4 of cover.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Steven Pressfield brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life.”—Pat Conroy At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army. Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the Greeks to rally their forces. Born into a cult of spiritual courage, physical endurance, and unmatched battle skill, the Spartans would be remembered for the greatest military stand in history—one that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured Spartan squire to tell the tale. . . .

Download or read book Incident at Muc Wa written by Daniel Ford. This book was released on . Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the novel that inspired the acclaimed Burt Lancaster movie, Go Tell the Spartans. The year is 1964--early days in South Vietnam--and the U.S. Army Raiders have garrisoned a town that the French abandoned ten years before. The Viet Cong attack, and the Americans reinforce. They're not about to repeat the mistakes of the French! 'Sad, bawdy, and compelling,' wrote the Detroit Free Press. Prophetic, too, of how the larger war would end.
