The Adventures of Charlie Smithers by C. W. Lovatt Pdf

Harry Flashman, step aside, old son. Make way for Charlie Smithers. The time is the nineteenth century. The place, the Serengeti Plain, where one Charlie Smithers - faithful manservant to the arrogant bone-head, Lord Brampton (with five lines in Debrett, and a hopeless shot to boot) - becomes separated from his master during an unfortunate episode with an angry rhinoceros, thereby launching Charlie on an odyssey into Deepest Darkest Africa, and subsequently into the arms of the beautiful Loiyan...and that's where the trouble really begins. Maasai warriors, xenophobic locals, or evil Arab slavers, the two forbidden lovers encounter everything that the unforgiving jungle can throw at them. "A truly engaging read that will keep anyone's attention from the hilarious beginning until the last word. I highly recommend this 5 star novel." Chapters & Chats

Charlie Smithers by C W Lovatt Pdf

Book 3 of the best-selling Charlie Smithers Collection Flashman never experienced anything like this, not even remotely! Whether it's because of his gift of the 'sight, ' inherited from his dour old Hebridean mum, or simply a sorely battered noggin (a result of his master's appalling aim)the Australias hold one of Charlie Smithers' most intriguing adventures to date. Pirates, great white sharks, mermaids, scorching deserts, cannibals and a small army of sadistic bushrangers are only part of the story. A mysterious gunslinging sheila with emerald green eyes, and a shocking vocabulary, is another adventure all on its own. And throughout the tale there is the innocuous message from a ghost from Charlie's past: "You must learn to forgive..."

Book 2 of the best-selling Charlie Smithers Collection Flashman's alter ego returns! Four years after Charlie returns from Africa, having survived a charging rhinoceros, ravenous crocodiles, fierce Maasai warriors, and evil slavers (not to mention inadvertently discovering the source of the Nile, ) we find him in India.

Unfortunately not everything goes according to plan and, in an effort to prevent a war, our hero finds himself on a madcap expedition to the reclusive kingdom of Bhutan, saving the life of the ravishing Charula Khaur along the way.

Charlie Smithers: Adventures in The Great White North by C. W. Lovatt Pdf

Twelve years after Charlie's last adventure, we find that walking disaster, Lord Brampton, has been at it again, quite literally launching our hero on the most epic odyssey of his life, this time into the frozen wastelands of the Great White North. Abandoned and believed lost in the high arctic, things look grim for our hero as the long journey back to Brampton Manor seems unlikely. Still, we can take heart, for a Smithers is nothing if not resolute, even when confronted by the harshest climate on the planet. With a stiff upper lip, Charlie sets forth, first as a guest among the Inuit, then as a slave of the Dene, until being sold to the Hudson's Bay Company for the princely sum of four bags of flour, two knives, two rifles, and a cast-iron cooking pot. However, having regained his freedom, Charlie's troubles have only just begun, eventually landing him in the middle of an insurrection, and incredibly, bringing him face to face with his past. Sought after by amorous women and angry aboriginals alike, Charlie's latest adventure will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

In The Shadow of Ruin by Tony Debajo Pdf

King Jide Adelani has ruled the lands of the Yoruba in West Africa for many peaceful years, but now his kingdom is in turmoil and the cold grasp of death's embrace is closing in around everything he holds dear. Jide spent years garnering the respect and loyalty of the tribes in the hopes of uniting them into one cohesive empire when his half-brother, Prince Olise, returns from banishment to claim the throne as his own. The offspring of a union between the late King Adeosi and the evil enchantress Ekaete, the bitter Olise has devoted the last decade to one purpose; to seize the throne and rule the kingdom. If he fails, he risks his name being erased from the history of the tribes. With the support of his mother, a powerful witch whose name is whispered in fear across the lands of the tribes, the outcast Olise now seems unstoppable in achieving his goal. Facing overwhelming military might and dark forces that he cannot comprehend, Jide must either choose to ignore the warnings of the gods, and seek help from those who also practice dark arts; or risk losing his kingdom.

The Adventures of Ozzie Nelson by John R. Holmes Pdf

When Ozzie Nelson died in 1975, he was no longer a household name. For a guy who had created the longest-running TV sitcom in history, invented the rock video, and fronted one of the most successful big bands of the 1930s, it's baffling that Nelson has faded so far from American media memory. Larger than life offscreen--an attorney, college football star, cartoonist, songwriter, major band leader--Ozzie created a smaller-than-life TV persona, the bumbling average Dad who became known to the rock generation (which included his teen idol son Rick Nelson) as the essence of blandness. But America also saw Ozzie as their iconic Dad: not a "father knows best," since his pontifications usually proved flawed by the end of each episode, but the father who tried his best. This book is the only full-length biography of Ozzie Nelson since he published his memoirs in 1973. It treats the big band and early TV icon with affection and hints that American pop culture may owe more to Ozzie than is generally acknowledged.
