DOWNLOAD EBOOKA political science major with three years of college under his belt, Charlie R. McNeil has planned his future, but serving in the military and fighting in a war is not part of the future he imagined. The American government thinks otherwise, however; he is drafted into the military, and sent to Koreaan assignment no one asks for. McNeil neither complains nor make waves; he goes where hes told to go and does what hes told to do. When the unexpected happens in Korea and the North Koreans cross the thirty-eighth parallel, Corporal McNeil finds himself immersed in wara war that came so quickly after WWII that no one believed it possible and none of the military services were prepared. While McNeil moves up in military rank he never loses sight of his goal to earn a degree and work in Washington, DC. But first, he must survive Korea and return home to the United States. A military novel, McNeil captures the essence of war and the hardships of life on the battlefield from one young man who has other dreams.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Her resolve was absolute. So was her vodka.” I wake up on my seventeenth birthday to receive an out of the ordinary gift - a cryptic letter and a million dollar cheque from my grandfather, whom I had been raised to believe was dead. Fascinated and puzzled on hearing from my long-lost relative, Kamal Chakravarti, in such strange and spectacular fashion, I embark on a journey to find him through his three brothers, the Chakravartis. The Chakravartis are old and wizened, each of them recapping a part of my grandfather's life that takes us back in place and time in vivid detail. Comically bumbling along this terrain of wayward youth with me are my three friends – a poet, a playboy and a peddler – as we collect pieces of information that come together like a magical puzzle, eventually leading me to my grandfather's porch! The NameFake is a humorous narrative on the Indian upper class, friendship and family, love and the loss of it, and the highs and lows of coming of age in the Millennial generation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA rich, densely written novel, Strife examines one family’s responses to destiny. Tracing the Gwanagara’s roots back over a century, Chinodya interweaves past and the present, juxtaposing incidents never forgotten or resolved, revealing how memory becomes an actor in lived time. A large family grows up in Gweru. Their father aspires to be an enlightened Christian man, he sees his children through school and college where they do well. But as adults, they are struck by illness. Who is to blame? Who is to cure these ailments? What wrongs have they committed to offend the ancestors? How can atonement be made? Can education, science and medicine provide any solution? Their mother, the moon huntress, seeks out the answers and the cures in traditional beliefs and customs. Chinodya provides a dark exposé of the tension between modernity and tradition. He explores the powerful draw that these sometimes conflicting ideologies exercise over an emerging middle class that at once yearns for autonomy and unconsciously desires the irresponsibility of an all-pervading destiny. Strife is a novel that has to be read by anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Zimbabwean culture in the twenty-first century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI would like to point out that my purpose of writing this book is to enlighten many Hamite people who are scattered around the world through slavery and colonialism and who do not have a clue of who they are and where they come from, because this history is written in the Scripture and the Scripture Map of 1890 and many of these things were hidden from us, Hamite people and the world at large who do not have the understanding of the reading of the Scripture and do not have the Scripture map as I do, showing the land of Ham and his descendants. I am very glad and thankful to Yahweh that I am now able to write about these things in my own words so that I can bring much knowledge and understanding to the minds of the people of Ham worldwide. I hope to awake many of them about the great past and history that we as a people come from. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy that is mentioned in the Scripture. What was hidden in the dark shall surely come to light, and what was done in secret shall be made known on the house top.
