(Some of the books below may still be available. I haven't checked specifically. Most are usually 1 or 2 days but sometimes they are free longer.)
WELL, now that I'm back from my trip and on my regular computer, I can see what a mess the netbook made of the last post! Wow! Even though most of them have probably expired, I'll probably try to find some time to go back and fix it because I just don't like seeing that.

From the Farm to Fast Food: My Adventures During the Great Depression and Beyond
“Have you ever had to plant explosives to mine your own coal to heat your house? Climb up some posts to keep your neighborhood’s phone lines up and running? How about dig your own well or cut ice out of a river to cool your food? Kill, skin, dry, and can animals to feed your family? You never know. In a post-apocalyptic world like the one in the HUNGER GAMES (or the one we may face in the future) this is information you might want to know. Believe it or not, there are people living in the modern world today who do know how to do these things. Ray Schmidt is one of them. While growing up on a farm in western North Dakota, Schmidt experienced the hardships of the Great Depression firsthand.“
The Mysterious Rattlesnake Tree, How The Firefall Began And More Stories Of Yosemite (Awani Press Publication)
Twelve Months of a Soviet Childhood:Short Stories
Quite an Undertaking: Violet Guymer's Story - True Tales from the Mortuary
Being a mortician in an isolated town without running water, little technology--may have some interesting insights for this sort of challenge.
Dying To Live
“growing up on a storybook farm, experiencing a killer tornado, surviving teenage confusion, an adventurous four-year ride on a submarine, a skydive, not maturing into your regular adult, discovering the world is not a bowl of cherries, a crash to the bottom, and, finally, accepting that the only person responsible for me, is me. But first I had to descend into the deep depths of the emotional chasm. Following that is my most recent short fiction “Waiting to Die” a tale of today and the coming, feared, pandemic.”
The Armenian Genocide. Testimonies of the Eyewitness Survivors
They Flew Proud
“details the national Civilian Pilot Training Program of the WWII era, through the experiences of Army Air Corps Cadets at Grove City (PA) College and the old Grove City Airport.”
Forces in the Air
“In the days before the recognition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, life could be miserable for a family in the Forces. Ms Trumley tells of a post-WWII childhood with constant moving, ostracization by classmates, a strict father who drank to excess to cope with his own inner demons, and a subsequently low self-esteem in herself. This could be a dark story, but Ms Trumley-Parisotto tells it with humour and hope, cathartic for both writer and reader.”

The Uprising at Babi Yar - The Syrets Deathcamp (Boomer Book Series)
Kamikaze Attack (The Carp on the Chopping Block)
A Seed Falls On Okinawa - A Soldier's Story
From Here To Destiny (The Beginning of a Nation)
“Louis Hebert went ahead to the new world to see what it was all about and in hopes of bringing his family there to settle. His wife Marie, however, was not to be undone for though she was safe in Paris in the beginning of it all; she was acquiring skills of her own to survive and prepare for making their dreams a reality. She learned the skills necessary to survive in the rough and open terrain of New France with no possibility of help. Marie was raised as the daughter of a wealthy merchant and her husband was a successful apothecary-would she learn those new skills required for a family to survive alone so far from any aid? Then, what about actually getting there? It was so far away and almost inaccessible. “
Moscow Dreams
“Marina, a Russian high school student, wants to experience life outside the Soviet Union and travel the world. And in 1991, as drastic political and social changes are happening in her country, that dream seems possible. Like many Muscovites, Marina is excited about the changes and the new life. But then, one August morning, tanks rumble down her quiet Moscow street. In the weeks and months that follow, Marina’s life changes in ways she could not have imagined.”
A Great Soldier in the Last Great War
“teenage author. December 16, 1944: The Nazis launch a massive attack through the Ardennes Forest in order to capture the port of Antwerp. They face fierce opposition from the Americans, and the Battle of the Bulge begins. One of the thousands of US forces in the Ardennes Forest is the Seventh Ranger Battalion, which has been in constant combat since invading Europe five months earlier. However, the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest will be the fiercest fighting they have seen. The Battalion has many brave soldiers, including Sergeant Jonathan Brooks, who has shown exceptional bravery and ferocity in combat. As the Germans push the Allies back, they capture several Belgian cities. One of the cities, Spartiate, contains a secret weapon. If the Nazis utilize it, they will win the war. The Rangers are assigned to retrieve this. As Jonathan Brooks engages the Germans, he must not only defeat the Nazis and seize the secret weapon, but also conquer the evil within himself. Nothing he has done before could prepare Brooks for the bloody horror of the Battle of the Bulge.”
Faith of the Heart (Back to Omaha Adventure)
“After four years of waiting for fiancé Cal Davidson to return, Claire Secord relocates to frontier Omaha to start a new life. After all, many men did disappear during the Civil War. Inheriting and running the family mercantile keeps her busy during the day, but at night she dreams of Cal and the hurt, and confusion returns. Handsome sheriff Tom Maxwell befriends Claire and they enjoy a warm, yet casual romance. When Claire is kidnapped, she must employ all of her faith, skills, and intellect to survive until Tom can locate her. Reuniting, they discover their love for one another and Tom proposes. Meanwhile Cal has resurfaced with a new identity. Suffering from the trauma of his war injuries, he is not quite sane, yet determined to find Claire and claim her as his. An unexpected rendezvous reunites Cal and Claire. Seeing she is still wearing a heart pendant that meshes with his, Cal is convinced that they belong together and insists she honor the long-ago engagement.”
They Rode Good Horses
“It's the epic story of Brady McCall and Franklin T. Stilwell, aged 10 and 15, who witness their families die in a brutal attack. Orphaned and alone halfway across the American frontier, they face the harsh reality that their own ordeal has just begun and their very survival is at stake. With no time for mourning, and only their horses to provide them a lifeline, the boys embark upon an adventure that takes them on a journey that spans half a century.”
Planting Dreams (Planting Dreams Series)
“Drought has scorched the farmland of Sweden and there is no harvest to feed families or livestock. Taxes are due and there is little money to pay them. But there is a ship sailing for America, where the government is giving land to anyone who wants to claim a homestead. So begins the migration out of Sweden to a new life on the Great Plains of America.”
Her Enemies Blue and Gray
“Lettie is surrounded by enemies. She has just buried her brothers from opposite sides in the Battle of Lexington, Missouri, in September 1861. The Union sergeant believes all Missourians are enemies and especially Lettie, since Wolfe, her fiance , rides with a bushwhacker gang working for the Confederacy. Her neighbors with southern sympathies hate her because she freed her slaves and shares with them her hemp and tobacco harvests. As if all that isn t trouble enough, the head of the bushwhacker gang plans to kidnap her workers and sell them back into slavery. Lettie, Wolfe, and the freed slaves strive to save the family farm and survive the many enemies.”
Days In Hell (Heroes Of War)
“The war in Vietnam made little sense to anyone who relied on the media for information. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the terms of the SEATO Treaty, and everyone from armchair commanders to the members of Congress felt they had every right to force their opinions into military decisions at an enormous cost of lives, equipment, and taxpayer dollars. The war made even less sense to the gallant men and women of the U.S. Armed Services who were thrust into an untenable position with their lives on the line. None of this helped the poor draftees who were thrust into positions of leadership in combat. Robert Tucker Townsend was sent to Vietnam with a minimum of training and a maximum of marginal information. Days In Hell is the story of Robert as he is thrown into the harsh reality of the Vietnam War. He is thrown into the fight of his life and will do whatever it takes to make it back home to his family.”

Politics, Terrorism, and Intrigue/Conspiracy
Night of the Predator
“the powerful story of a family fighting for survival in a land on the brink of apocalypse. Dr Max Loxton, environmentalist and entrepreneur, has an obsession: to save one of the most sacred areas of Africa from certain destruction at the hands of an unscrupulous mining company. It is an obsession that draws him into a world of deceit and treachery, threatening to destroy his new-found love, his fortune and his love. David Loxton, Max's father and deadly adversary, is a politician and armaments manufacturer. Determined to build his country to a position where it controls the future of Africa, he has enlisted the support of right-wing fanatic, Dolph Klopper, who dreams of the resurrection of a race of supermen. Sweeping from the boardrooms of Johannesburg, to the wilds of Botswana, from secret cabals in the townships to ex-Nazi hideouts, 'Night of the Predator' is a fast-paced thriller of terrifying topicality.”
The Plan
“a political thriller based on actual current historical events that suggest the near future. The U.S. economy of 2015 remains mired in a cycle of debt and decline. President Winters sets out to acquire the financial resources necessary to restore. In a radicalized world of the President's making, taunted Islamic expatriates demonstrate violently against their European hosts. A threatened Iran seeks nontraditional alliances. A nuclear-armed Pakistan encourages Israel to consider a multiple first strike. Traditional political alliances crumble, new leaders emerge. Outgoing rulers follow their personal wealth to the safety of the United States. Foreign investment swells America's coffers - all in reaction to the President's nefarious intrusions.”

The Life Of A Phoenix
“It's been a few months since a meteor is discovered to be on a collision course with the planet and the world has slowly descended into lawlessness, the people of the world gripped in panic.

The analog past clashes with the digital future, and the world as we know it tilts slightly on its axis. “
H2O
“Generations ago, the Passim Virus wiped out most of humanity. The survivors banded together to form the Territory and, now, decades later, no one questions why knowledge has disappeared. Why should they? They're lucky to be alive. …Then Roy finds a tantalizing clue that leads him down the coast of what used to be the state of Oregon. He's stunned at what he discovers. Everything in the Territory is a lie and everything around him is a front. But to uncover the dark secret behind this front, Roy must venture deeper into the wilderness where marauders and the deadly Passim Virus wait to kill.

Freight Train Across The Outback: On Board The First Train To Cross Australia From South to North
“Critically acclaimed National Geographic writer, Simon Worrall, was the only writer on board the first train ever to cross the Australian continent from south to north. Traveling more than 3,000 miles from Adelaide to Darwin on a fright train making history, he takes readers on an evocative journey through the Red Centre of Australia. On the way, we meet a colorful cast of characters that includes an Afghan camel driver; a skinny-dipping construction worker; a minerals prospector who lives on sardines and garlic; and an Aborigine elder, whose dream of coming home has come true thanks to the railroad.”
Lila Blue
“If you love believable characters who grow through adversity to become independent, creative individuals, you’ll love Lila Blue.”
Love, Death and A Chinese Train
“Innocent and headstrong, Jane McPherson, the daughter of an American missionary couple, enjoys an idyllic childhood in Old Peking - the "lingering city of splendor" - until her parents are brutally murdered. In 1936, with the onset of war against Japan and the fighting between the Kuomintang and communist forces, Jane and her brother, Will, are sent to live with lifelong family friends in Shanghai. There, Jane is forced to contend with long-buried family secrets, unfulfilled romance, and expulsion from her beloved country. Now, elderly, Jane has returned to China and reunited with the daughter she hasn't seen in more than sixty years. During a cross-country train ride to Beijing, Jane unravels the mystery of her parents' death for her daughter and an ambitious young documentary film producer who gains new perspective on her own life as she watches mother and daughter struggle to understand one another. An unforgettable mystery adventure spanning more than six decades of Chinese culture and history, Love, Death and A Chinese Train is a story of unconquerable spirit, set against the background of the Sino-Japanese War and the emerging realities of post-Mao China.”
Prime of Life
Very many high reviews. “Ben used to be a cardiothoracic surgeon before he suddenly abandoned his career and became a janitor at a retirement facility. Now, other than dealing with minor problems such as an unhealthy obsession with prime numbers, an inept boss, and a feud between two cantankerous retirees, he lives a relatively stress-free life. There is even hope for romance when an attractive podiatrist shows an interest in him. But it is not long before his past catches up with him and his carefully protected world begins to unravel. He is forced to face deep issues about life and God head-on, rather than hide behind his cleaning cart. “ Written by a practicing eye surgeon.
Seeker of Stars
“a fictional memoir of Melchior, one of the magi, whose story neither begins nor ends at the first Christmas. As a small boy, Melchior is fascinated by stars, but lives in a world of rigid obligations where he must apprentice with his rug-making father. Through sandstorms and family upheaval, Melchior dares to dream of grasping those stars. Then his expected course radically alters, setting him on a new path, full of danger and glory, in pursuit of that one special star. The novella traces Melchior’s pilgrimage across the desert, sifting through years of memory, to a place of surprising wholeness and love. The journey leads Melchior to reflect on desire and pain, life and death, family and love, dreams and duty, and to find unusual reconciliation within his own family and with the God he never knew he sought. Seeker of Stars offers a fresh retelling of the story of the magi, and invites us to a new perspective and passion for our own spiritual journeys.”
