Legacy of Valor

Jed L. Babbin

Pentland Press (NC), 2000

Valor Survives
Jed Babbin's first book is part novel, part political pamphlet, and part morality play. Readers will be treated to an exciting and straight-forward military action story - albeit with satirical touches - and a political wake-up call. The military action in Babbin's book is accurately described and furiously paced. His warriors are tough, smart, and highly motivated. The low subplot centers on ...

Something Will Come Along
Just a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed your book Something Will Come Along. I thought it was most interesting and very well written. This comes from one who has been a writer and editor since he graduated from the University of Maryland in 1951. I have also reviewed books from Brentano's and the Navy Library Service. I also would like to congratulate you for being such a fine ...

Nam is not for the Faint Hearted.
Weak kneed, left wing, doves should avoid the reality of the portrayal of the life of Myers and the Marine comrads he so eloquently shares with the reader. This is not a sugar coated documentary of all that is right with our military strategy on the ground , in day-to-day life of combat Marines, but the true story of how these Marines prevailed in spite of the strategy. Anyone who ever hold a ...

A Navigator's Nirvana
One of the most entertaining books I've read in years. Ropp's trek from Houston to Biloxi to Omaha and, finally, Washington,is authentic and that's from someone who trod in those steps a few years earlier on the way from navigator and electronics training to retirement from the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force thirty years later. Highly recommended, especially for anyone who ever wore a ...

The Power of Hope and the Atrocities of Life
In The Tamarisk Tree, Gloria Beanblossom delivers an epic story accurately detailing the true complexities of love, religion, family, and human nature. We all know what these things mean on the surface, but life experience tells us there are many gritty nuances to each of these, and Beanblossom does not hesitate to dive in to the murkiness that is real life.

Joan Felicia Henriksen

Pentland Press (NC), 1999

excellent read
What follows is a part of the informational flyer the publisher has sent out to bookstores, newspapers, etc. "In the days before Christianity brought the written word to the Viking lands of far Northern Europe, history was a spoken rhythmical saga. These sagas sang of kings and heroes. Only occasionally did a storyteller mention, in passing, the women involved. One such was Astrid... Astrid's ...

Knowledge Is Power
Impotence & Prostate Solutions, by Donald L. McCarty,J.D., was very informative, and the information found in it is just what my marriage needed. My husband has been impotent for some time, and it was not a good thing for my husbands ego. In fact, it was very difficult for him to accept impotence, after his prostate surgery. It put a strain on our otherwise good marriage. It wasn't until he ...
