The Royal Eagle soars across a vast terrain of space and time. We follow reporter Randy Escalera everywhere from 1970s Mexico to 1990s Houston and beyond as, he investigates a string of brutal murders popping up all over the Lone Star State; alone with his tireless quest to find the whereabouts of his long lost, abducted sister. Not knowing that, his effort would bring him, even more surprises on that journey; that involve a variety of low enforcement departments around the Houston area. What starts off as a classic detective story takes on elements of fantasy and romance, stitched together with a thread of historical events that ultimately ties together the moral backdrop of this tale. Like: genocides, rapes, animal cruelty, labor abuse, human and drug trafficking. It offers us a bird’s eye view of the seedier side of globalization, but the courage and compassion Randy and his team show in the face of those dark forces offer both, a message of hope and a call to action. Which would come to an inspectable, unpredictable and full of mind-boggling end. I hope, the facts and, fictions, in this story, don’t offend anyone, in any way. I just want to tell, something I have seen over the years, something that, is an epidemic among as. We all have children, your own or, related to them., in any way. We have to be very conscious, about all of own children. I take you to different scenes, where some of them, can be gore; but that’s how it is in this life, no one, can tell how the consequences can be, until you feel it in your own flesh. Missing a love one can be devastating, however, it is worst, if you don’t know, where the love one is. In this novel, we cover the facts and, how they could end up.... Thank you...

A symbol of power, divinity, war, and justice, the eagle has been one of the most dominant birds in the human imagination for millennia. Exploring the rich history of this bird and its portrayal in art, film, literature, and poetry, this book examines how eagles became an emblematic creature that also embodies the paradoxes of our existence. Janine Rogers reveals that while humans associate eagles with light and learning, they also connect the birds to death and corruption. Eagles adorn flags, crests, and other emblems, but as she shows, they have also been relentlessly persecuted and perceived as predatory threats to livestock. While considering these contradictions, Rogers argues that eagles have suffered from the effects of human activities for years, from pesticide use to habitat destruction and global warming. She demonstrates the dangers of not saving eagles from destruction, as they are key to controlling pest populations and clearing carcasses. Featuring many illustrations of eagles in the wild, art, and popular culture, Eagle shines new light on our complex relationship with these birds, their international significance, and the dire implications of losing them to contemporary ecological threats.

The fact that the British Expeditionary Force was evacuated from Dunkirk in May-June 1940 has achieved the status of a legend. Whilst the part played by the Little Ships in that miracle is equally well known, the role of the Royal Navys warships the destroyers, minesweepers and personnel ships is often overlooked. Indeed, more than 300,000 troops out of a total of 338,226, were evacuated from the harbour at Dunkirk in these vessels.In the weeks after Operation Dynamo, the Admiralty issued an order requiring the Commanding Officers of those British warships involved to submit a report detailing their actions. Described in their own words, with the events still fresh in their minds, the result is a vivid record of the chaos, improvisation, skill and bravery that all combined to rescue the basis of an army that helped carry Britain through the dark months and years that followed. It is a record that forms the basis of this book.
