Stuart Woods- Paris Match
Attorney at law, CIA consultant and hotel proprietor, Stone Barrington is back in the latest novel of his series. Steamy nights, luxurious amenities and cat-and-mouse intrigue are all experienced against the backdrop of the City of Lights in Stuart Woods’ latest installment, “Paris Match.”
Barrington is in Paris to open l’Arrington, the latest edition in his chain of luxury hotels, all of which honor his late wife, who endowed him with the fortune for such a venture.
Woods turns up the pressure on Barrington in this latest thriller by creating problems in Paris and across the Atlantic. Barrington is enjoying the finer things in Paris while he awaits the grand opening of his hotel, but an old enemy is on the prowl and threatens his hotel ownership and more. Things also get personal with an exotic Parisian designer, who coincidently has a father and brother in high-ranking police positions.
On the other side of the pond, rumors from a mischievous blogger threaten to destroy the presidential prospects of Barrington’s long-time friend, Katherine Lee, and during the last leg of her election race. Barrington has to think fast as he juggles threats from all sides — and several different women.
Old friends and old enemies are both back in this latest edition to the series, which does not disappoint its readers as it offers up plenty of fast-paced action and deluxe experiences that keep the pages turning. Woods is masterful with his use of dialogue and creates natural and vivid scenes for his readers to enjoy.
While this latest novel is the astounding 31st in the series, Woods himself has penned around 57 novels. He has finished books that have yet to be released, and he is currently working on his 60th novel to date. www.myrtlebeachonline.com

"A Chain of Thunder" By: Jeff Shaara
A Chain of Thunder is the second volume in the new 4-book series, covering Ulysses Grant's campaign against Confederate General John Pemberton, leading to the South's crushing loss of the citadel of Vicksburg.
As the war in the West turns badly for the South, the Union generals and their political commanders in Washington know that the one great barrier to Union control of the Mississippi River lies at the Confederate bastion of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Protected by high embankments, and a formidable presence of Confederate artillery, the Confederate forces there, under the command of John Pemberton, are confident that Vicksburg is a citadel that cannot fall. But Federal commander Ulysses Grant believes otherwise.
Encouraged by his superiors in Washington to do whatever it takes, Grant launches an overland campaign that avoids a direct frontal assault on the town from the river, and instead, maneuvers his army downstream, crossing from Louisiana into Mississippi where the Confederates are too weak to make an effective stand. Instead of pushing directly at Vicksburg, Grant employs an audacious strategy, slicing quickly through the Mississippi countryside toward the capital city of Jackson. Pemberton's army cannot match Grant's unpredictable moves, and the Southern forces begin to understand that their commander is no match for the ingenuity Grant brings to the campaign. Though Pemberton's superior, General Joseph Johnston arrives in Jackson, Johnston sees Pemberton's situation as hopeless, and thus, holds his own forces back from the fight, allowing Grant the freedom to focus all his energies on Vicksburg itself. Johnston's reluctance to engage Grant, and thus offer relief to Vicksburg, is one of the most controversial decisions of the war.
In May, 1863 Grant turns his enormous army toward Vicksburg, and discovers that Pemberton has not been idle. The city is protected by nine miles of entrenchments are earthworks, extending in an arc, each end anchored on the Mississippi River. After attempting two disastrous frontal assaults, Grant reluctantly accepts that the only effective way to capture the city is to besiege it. Thus, the Federal forces wrap Vicksburg in a tightening noose that Pemberton cannot hope to break through. After forty seven days, the Confederate troops, and the beleaguered civilians in the town endure hardships and privations none could have predicted, until, finally, Pemberton must accept the inevitable. It is a decision that will cause controversy for decades after, since the Confederate commander is in fact a northerner himself, having joined the Southern cause from his home state of Pennsylvania. Many of his own troops regard Pemberton's actions as little more than treachery.
The story is told primarily through the voices of Union General William T. Sherman, and, returning from the first volume (A Blaze of Glory), the young private from Wisconsin, Fritz Bauer. On the Southern side, the story is told through the eyes of Pemberton himself, as well as a young civilian woman in the town, Lucy Spence, who serves her cause the only way she can, be volunteering for nursing duties in the makeshift hospitals, enduring the kind of horror even the doctors are not prepared for. www.jeffshaara.com

Reasons to Visit Your Local Library!!!!
You don’t have to be outdoors to have a fun summer. In fact, some
of the most gratifying and enriching activities might happen within the four
walls of one of our country’s 123,000 public libraries.
It’s easy
to see why. Libraries offer an easy, accessible and low cost way to read books
and magazines, watch videos and learn about new worlds in several languages,
and enjoy a wide range of cultural events such as concerts and art exhibitions.
To
receive all the benefits of a public library, you need a library card, which
you can get for free at your local branch. So if you’re thinking of what to
do this summer, consider these four reasons why you should visit a public
library. You might be surprised!
1) Digital
books. Libraries have adapted to changes in technology, and today many
offer e-books which you can borrow for a certain time free of charge. You can
check out e-books the same way as you do regular books, except you need an
electronic device (e-reader). Some libraries even lend out e-book readers—check
with your local library to see if an electronic reader is available for use.
Besides print and digital books, you can also download audio books, music and
videos at some libraries. Since many libraries have their own websites, you can
access many of their services online from the comfort of your home.
2) Programs
and events for the whole family. Lots of libraries offer special
summer programs for people of all ages, including computer classes,
storytelling for children, fun and educational games, as well has reading
activities, and more.
3) Specialized
resources. For many people, the Internet is not a luxury but a
necessity. Public libraries often have a computer room for people who do not
have computers or Internet access at home – or for those who just want to
browse the web in a relaxed atmosphere where they can concentrate. Libraries
also have highly skilled professionals that can help you find what you’re
looking for or recommend books and resources for practically anything –
including the answer to the question “how long does summer last?”

Jase Robertson- "Good Call" Reflections on Faith, Family and Fowl
www.amazon.com
The closer we look at the Robertson family, the more we discover the substance and authenticity below the surface of these well-known TV characters. In this enlightening book, Jase Robertson gives us a deep look behind his funnyman exterior. In addition to stories of life in the Robertson family and epic tales of hunting of all kinds, readers will get an inside look at Jase’s personal faith in the Creator of the outdoors he so dearly loves:
“My first thoughts about God came in a duck blind as I gazed upon the diversity and beauty of creation. There is nothing in nature that can be reproduced or equaled by humans. None of our computers, microchips, or cell phones can duplicate what God has put forth. Viewing the details of this magnificent earth is better than any sermon from any preacher I have heard about the evidence of God.”
More than a behind-the-scenes look at this beloved Duck Dynasty character, readers will be inspired and encouraged to implement Jase’s “good call” reflections on faith, family, and fowl into their own lives.
