March or Die by Andrew Keith,William H. Keith Pdf

An uprising from an alien species threatens a futuristic foreign legion in this military sci-fi. As the Terran Commonwealth expanded the borders of the interstellar territories it controlled, a waning alien race was forced to yield much of their once glorious star empire. But they had never been fully conquered, and they would never cease trying to undermine the Commonwealth’s power. When Commonweath diplomats and the command officers of the Terran Fifth Foreign Legion gathered in the alien capital city to meet with a local ruler, no one suspected the trap they were walking into. As assassins attacked the diplomatic party, native forces struck the fortress of the Fifth Foreign Legion, which was still under construction and not yet secure. The ranking surviving officer from the fort has to lead his troops on an impossible march through the heart of enemy territory, fighting every step of the way in a last-ditch effort to reach the main base . . . or die in the attempt.

White Line Fever by Lemmy,Lemmy Kilmister,Janiss Garza Pdf

Told with Lemmy's indomitable charisma and humour, this is the autobiography of a rock icon who over the past thirty years in the industry, has stayed true to his music, his fans and his pleasures. Lemmy was born Ian Fraser Kilmister in 1945, the son of a vicar who walked out on his mother when Lemmy was just three months old. Having been inspired to play the guitar by Chicks, Little Richard and Buddy Holly, Lemmy formed what would become the ultimate metal group in 1975 and christened them Motorhead. The group went on to embrace a rock-and-roll lifestyle fuelled by drink, drugs and women, and in the process released twenty-one albums and attracted a huge following. WHITE LINE FEVER is a truly headbanging tour through the last few decades of speedmetal, offering a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, but highly entertaining trip with the frontman of the loudest rock band in the world.

Three into Nine by Peter R. Brumlik Pdf

In 1945 seventeen-year-old Sal Hecht feels like a prisoner in New York City. For four years, he dreamt of fighting in the Second World War and being a hero. Now that the war has ended, it seems, at least to Sal, that his life is over as well. When his repeated efforts to enlist are thwarted, Sal joins the Merchant Marine and opens what he hopes is his gateway to a brighter future. As he begins a new chapter as an apprentice seaman, Sal has no idea of what lies ahead. Two years later as the French battle what appears to be a futile war in Indochina, Sal’s destiny intertwines with two others as he enlists in the French Foreign Legion. Avram is an Auschwitz survivor who welcomes the opportunity to situate himself among a company of Legionnaires. Jaehne is a corporal who deserted the German Army shortly before the end of the war to join the Legion. Now brought together by fate to fight a colonial war as Legionnaires during the nine years of conflict in French Indochina, the three men each face challenges as they all become comrades and heroes in their own way. Three into Nine is the story of three men from different backgrounds who find themselves in the French Foreign Legion amid the struggle to maintain a French Colonial Empire.

The Wages of Virtue by Percival Christopher Wren Pdf

Captain Strong, although a soldier, the conditions of whose life were almost those of perpetual Active Service, was a student--and particularly a student of human nature. Throughout a life of great activity he found, and made, much opportunity for sitting in the stalls of the Theatre of Life and enjoying the Human Comedy. This East African shooting-trip with Lord Huntingten, Sir Montague, and Lady Merline, was affording him great entertainment, inasmuch as Huntingten had fallen in love with Lady Merline and did not know it. Lady Merline was falling in love with Huntingten and knew it only too well, and Merline loved them both. That there would be no sort or kind of "dénouement," in the vulgar sense, Captain Strong was well and gladly aware--for Huntingten was as honourable a man as ever lived, and Lady Merline just as admirable. No saner, wiser, nor better woman had Strong ever met, nor any as well balanced. Had there been any possibility of "developments," trouble, and the usual fiasco of scandal and the Divorce Court, he would have taken an early opportunity of leaving the party and rejoining his company at Mombasa. For Lord Huntingten was his school, Sandhurst and lifelong friend, while Merline was his brother-in-arms and comrade of many an unrecorded, nameless expedition, foray, skirmish, fight and adventure.
