The C Card and Me - How I beat stage IV cancer (to a pulp), 2nd Edition
Jeremiah A. Denton, Jr. Vietnam War Hero
”While answering a Japanese reporter's questions, Denton faked sensitivity to the bright lights as he repeatedly blinked ‘torture’ in Morse Code…a close call during Jerry’s teen years, lessons learned from a football coach, and Navy Academy experiences. Then the intensity increases when Denton’s A6A-Intruder is shot down on a Rolling Thunder bombing mission in North Vietnam. A POW for seven years and seven months (over four years in solitary confinement), he uses various codes to bring hope and inspire courage in other prisoners and amuses them with his Tap-code jokes.”
The Jade Locket: A Memoir
I Remember Utah
”A richly illustrated memoir of life in Utah during the early to middle parts of the twentieth century. Watercolors and gray-scale drawings combine with narrative descriptions of life in the Beehive State from the first years of statehood on. Stories and images run the gamut from farming practices and mining operations; to rail travel and early automobiles; to architecture and graffiti; to boating on the Great Salt Lake and the visit of Rudolph Valentino to Saltair Resort.”
The D-Day Dozen: Conversations With Veterans of the Longest Day, the Huertgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge

FICTION
Nature Survival, War, and other Hardship
Borders: A Journey from Poland to Palestine, 1939-1943
” a compelling tale about sacrifice, family loyalty and hard choices in hard times. …At the core is a basic survival instinct—like choosing boots over food in Siberia..”
The Remnant - The Jewish Resistance in WWII (The Jewish History Novel Series)
”"’I can't kill Nazis if I'm dead. . .’ Solomon Shalensky. ...In this stunning and compelling WWII historical novel about the Jews who were able to remain free and fight, Seiden documents their survival, their suffering, their missions and their guerrilla warfare tactics against the Nazi occupation forces. Also, well documented, the tragedy of Kiev and now infamous ravine of Babi Yar where it is thought that nearly a million people, Jews and non-Jews alike were massacred. These brave few escaped the certain death of their co-religionists by acts of bravery and sheer determination to live. The myth that the Jewish people 'went to their deaths like sheep to slaughter. . .' is put to rest forever in the stories of ‘The Remnant - The Jewish Resistance of WWII.’"
The Cartographer ~ 1492 (The Jewish History Novel Series)
The Inquisition: “takes you into the lives of everyday Christians, Moslems, Jews and Secret Jews of ancient Spain and what they had to endure during that horrific time in history…”
LEGEND of the DAWN [ The Epic Adventure of a Lifetime ]
”Having been drawn to the wild for a number of years, young Luke McKinney is forced to leave 1839 St.Louis for the North Country even sooner than he expected to go. At seventeen, along with a female companion and an elderly father figure, he is literally running for his life. With the Law pursuing him and the wilderness unforgiving, he finds himself caught up in a survival system that has nothing to do with civilization or laws.”
Nan's Journey (Nan's Heritage Series)
From review: “deals with difficult issues such as abuse, neglect, and loss in a manner that quite often stuns the reader. We travel with our heroine, Nan, as she faces a lifetime of tragedy in just a few short months. However, in the midst of pain and suffering she finds hope, healing, and love. This historical novel transports the reader back in time 150 years with its descriptive imagery and dialogue. The author writes as if she herself were living during the age of "Monday wash days", daily farm chores, Native American tribe issues, and travel by horseback. Although written in simple language, the tragedies faced and the truths found within the pages of Nan's Journey are as relevant today as they would have been during the time the story takes place.”
Volcano Watch (The Forensic Geology Series)
"The volcano beneath her town is seething, and the fate of Mammoth Lakes now rests in the hands of emergency planner Adrian Krom...As the volcano moves toward red alert, forensic geologist Cassie Oldfield races to prevent 'no way out' from becoming a prophecy."

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
The Last Aliyah (The Time of Jacob's Trouble)
Christian based. “The tides of war are once again rising against the nation of Israel. Her old alliances are unraveling, while new alliances against her are rising. Rocket attacks on Haifa and Sderot are increasing, and Israel cautiously prepares a response to a conflict that many fear will never end. Iran has armed Hamas and Hezbollah to the teeth for years, and now rumors are circulating that several nuclear warheads have slipped through the Israeli blockade into Gaza. And then a decision is made that will change the face of the Middle East forever. Will Israel be ready as her Arab neighbors gather for war?”
Thirst
”Antarctica is the coldest, most isolated place on earth. Luke Searle, maverick glaciologist, has made it his home. But soon his survival skills will be tested to the limit by a ruthless mercenary who must win at any cost. The white continent is under attack. The Australian team is being hunted down. Can Luke stay alive long enough to raise the alarm? Can he avert a global catastrophe?” 'The best Antarctic thriller since Ice Station.' - James Phelan
When Good Men Do Nothing
”What begins as a murder investigation… becomes far more complicated as MI6 become involved, and soon Steele and his MI6 counterpart, Merrington, are battling to hunt down a group of terrorists hell bent on turning Brighton into bloodbath of horrifying proportions.”
White Jade (The PROJECT: Book One)
” Former Recon Marine Nick …works for the PROJECT, a covert counter-terrorism unit … When (Selena’s) wealthy uncle is murdered by someone looking for an ancient book about the elixir of immortality, she's thrown into Nick's dangerous world. Nick is assigned to protect Selena and help her recover the missing text. …Someone is determined to take over China and attack America--… International intrigue, terrorist acts and the threat of nuclear war form the core of this fast-paced thriller, the first volume in a series”

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
H10N1
”A deadly influenza virus rages out of control. There is no easy-fix vaccine. No eleventh-hour containment. Only death. With no workforce, power plants are unmanned so there’s no means of communication; police and fire departments have collapsed so no one is safe; looters are scavenging everything from big-screen TVs to canned peas. When Dr. Taeya Sanchez finds herself unceremoniously dismissed from an emergency medical facility in New York, she decides to steal the hospital’s armored van for a midnight escape. Unfortunately, Rick DeAngelo, a driver for the hospital, has already stocked the van for his own getaway.”
Also, these two books listed last week or before are still free:
Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days: 1
AND
The Vanishings: 1 (Left Behind: The Kids)
These are well-known traditionally published Christian end-times fiction.
Crimson Rain
“Several decades after a nuclear catastrophe rocked the globe only two bastions of civilization stand secure on the planet. Amongst the technology and the relative peace and serenity, though, lies a darkness that is kept anything but secret. The government allows the rich to victimize the poor and large corporations to kidnap people like guinea pigs for their experiments. Two corporations seek to overthrow the governments and reach for global domination. Meanwhile, three unlikely heroes are seeking change, each one for their own purpose. Can they stop the change that is to come before it is too late or will they fail, dooming the earth to slavery at the hands of these evil corporations?”

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish
Dimensional Shift: First Step
”A catastrophic infection of land based plant life motivates a wealthy investor and his colleagues to make the ultimate push for survival. He, his daughter, and a brilliant young team of scientists do the unthinkable. They take the first step off planet Earth…very near future… a very readable dystopian saga.”
Alone I Walk
”When a storm rolls in and flattens all the homes, new dome shaped houses are erected in their place. Kaitlyn walks the streets of her hometown, looking for answers. Finding one man who can speak her language, she must decide if she can trust him, and accept her new life. Is she dreaming, in a coma, or has has Kaitlyn just survived the end of the world? …story of a young college sophomore who reminisces her past, as she watches a new world form around her.” Is called a short story but is longer than that. Novella, perhaps?

Sci-fi, virus. “When Vanessa dies of the flu, Walt is devastated. But she isn't the last. The virus quickly kills billions, reducing New York to an open grave and LA to a chaotic wilderness of violence and fires. As Raymond and Mia hole up in an abandoned mansion, where they learn to function without electricity, running water, or neighbors, Walt begins an existential walk to LA, where Vanessa had planned to move when she left him. He expects to die along the way.
Months later, a massive vessel appears above Santa Monica Bay. Walt is attacked by a crablike monstrosity in a mountain stream. The virus that ended humanity wasn't created by humans. It was inflicted from outside. The colonists who sent it are ready to finish the job--and Earth's survivors may be too few and too weak to resist.”
