Vengeance Is Mine
William W. Johnstone - 2005
Johnstone is legend in contemporary fiction. From his towering westerns to his edgy thrillers, Johnstone captures the true American spirit. Now, in this blockbuster new novel torn from today's headlines, Johnstone puts us on the frontlines of a new war: for the borders of America itself.
Vengeance Is Mine
They've already started coming across. The drug dealers and the petty criminals. The terrorists and the parasites. For one man on the West Texas border, the time to stand against them is now. John Howard Stark, a Vietnam vet whose family has worked their ranch for generations, has set off a trip wire--and an ambush has exploded all around him. A Columbian drug cartel commander, with the help of an ex-special forces hit man and his own deadly army, has killed three Americans--including Stark's uncle and his neighbor--and will slaughter anyone else who stands in his way. The local law is in his pocket and the Border Patrol is powerless to help. Now John Howard Stark is about to wage a one-man war. And he's got the best kind of reason to fight to the death. But for this American, there's one thing more dangerous than the enemies slithering across the border--and that's the second enemy standing behind his back: His own government. . . William W. Johnstone is the USA Today bestselling author of over 130 books, including the popular Ashes, Mountain Man, and Last Gunfighter series.
Positively Page: The Diamond Dallas Page Journey
Diamond Dallas Page - 2000
From his earliest recollections, Page Falkinburg wanted to be like the Saturday afternoon heroes that he watched on TV from the floor of his grandmother's living room. He defied the odds and swayed his critics along the way, climbing the ladder of the largest spectator entertainment sports production in the world today. It was in 1985 that I met a guy who told me his name was Page ... like a book. Like most people who meet him, I knew that there was something very different about Page Falkinburg. He is cocky, and at the same time, he's humble. He is "over the top," but somehow remains "down to earth." One of the toughest "sons of bitches" you'll ever meet, Page can shock you with his sensitivity and compassion. He is an example of good old-fashioned hard work and personal commitment, but at the same time, is able to help create and better the futures of others. Almost fifteen years later, Positively Page serves as a look at that unforgettable guy who possessed the power to rise above adversity and reach his dream.
