COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Book Review
Collateral Damage: A Dreamland Thriller
by Dale Brown, Jim DeFelice
Take a trip into the Air Force where high tech planes are being developed by brilliant minds. But when an unmanned aircraft drone Sabre kills civilians in Libya, fingers are being pointed in every direction, especially at the United States and themen who created the newest intelligence. The UN Assembly wants answers and it doesn’t help that the crazed drone was videotaped during the attack and being broadcasted on U Tube. Now as the airplane is torn apart to find answers, the investigation leads to darker revelations as the US is painted as the devil himself. As a broad array of men and women seek to find the truth, evil lurks close by with a twisted need for revenge at any cost. But with men such as ace pilot Turk Mako in the skies, things are bound to get complicated and downright dangerous for all.
Collateral Damage: A Dreamland Thriller byAuthors Dale Brown and Jim DeFelice is as high tech as they come with a broad array of vibrant characters and action packed scenic descriptions. The authors show their expertise in the Air Force field as they bring this fast paced story to life for an avid reader. Although this novel seems more geared towards men, I did enjoy the energetic storyline and the glimpse into the lives of a pilot and the dangerous warfare they often endure. It also gives a look into today’s technology and where it could be headed in the future.

The average person might not know too much about Haiti, but Kathleen A. Tobin is passionate about it. A teacher of Latin American history, Kathleen has written a book about why she thinks Haiti is important in the classroom and how she set upon making it a priority in educating her students and gaining support from her colleagues. Haiti is part of Latin America and has an unstable history. Kathleen brings to life why Haiti’s past and future is important to everyone. But teaching about Haiti is not enough. Kathleen is drawn to helping Haitians through charity work, helping to aid in the poverty of the people through such organizations like Catholic Relief Services. She travels to Haiti with a mission group to do what they can. The projects involved helping the people learn to sell their products in the market place, planting and erosion control due to the harsh hilly landscape. But the muddy travel is rough, the people friendly and the orphanages sad, especially the ones filled with AIDS victims. And a strike of a hurricane only brings more misfortune.

With political violence sweeping the land, it at times appears hopeless for any real changes to occur. It’s people like Kathleen Tobi who help to bring the light of change into other’s misfortunes and help to lay thegroundwork for schools and reform. A good read by a talented teacher and writer .

PARIS I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO YOUR WAYS
Paris I've Grown Accustomed to Your Ways.
by Ruth Yunker (Goodreads Author)
Paris. Just the word brings to mind history, grace, fine art, literature and gardens. And of course the Eiffel Tower. Ruth Yunker fell in love with Paris and has written a book bringing to life the style and customs of what it is like to dwell for short stays in Paris. To hear Ruth’s descriptions, one would know that indeed this woman has a strong connection to this marvelous place. Early on in the book, Ruth does a fine job of detailing the finer points of what it’s like to be an American with our off handed traditions in a country that has its own sense of style and customs. For instance, if you want to mail a card, don’t assume you will be given an envelope with your purchase. One must buy the envelope in Paris. And don’t even think about leaving any food on your plate. It is considered rude. The weather is rarely noted. But then there is the beauty of the people, the court yards and antiquity. You might hear Ava Maria when out and about. Patisseries are to die for. Small spaces are the norm along with some crazy elevators.
Paris I’ve Grown Accustomed To Your Ways by Author Ruth Yunker is a fun and in depth look at Paris from Ruth’s personal experiences. This often witty novel will have you feeling like a Parisian in no time. Ruth shares both the good and bad. But if you never get a chance tovisit Paris , don’t worry. You will soon feel like you are right there beside Ruth. Paris I've Grown Accustomed To Your Ways is an enjoyable read by a wonderful writer.
