Book excerpt: Chosen Men is a set of fast-action skirmish rules detailing the bloody skirmishes between light troops in the Napoleonic Wars. The primary focus of the game is on soldiers and NCOs in light 'flank' companies, as they scout ahead of larger forces and take part in man-to-man actions against enemy skirmishers. Although the game allows for the formation of accurately sized companies of light infantry and cavalry if you wish, these formations are broken down into small groups of up to a dozen men. For the most part, officers are not swashbuckling super-heroes, but staunch commanders who rally and direct their men to achieve the battlefield objectives. Although the game uses an alternating action turn sequence, officers can use their influence on multiple units at the same time in an effort to steal the initiative. With all rolls resolved using standard 6-sided dice, this game combines a classic wargaming feel with modern wargame mechanics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chosen Ones, sociologist and feminist scholar Nikki Jones shares the compelling story of a group of Black men living in San Francisco’s historically Black neighborhood, the Fillmore. Against all odds, these men work to atone for past crimes by reaching out to other Black men, young and old, with the hope of guiding them toward a better life. Yet despite their genuine efforts, they struggle to find a new place in their old neighborhood. With a poignant yet hopeful voice, Jones illustrates how neighborhood politics, everyday interactions with the police, and conservative Black gender ideologies shape the men’s ability to make good and forgive themselves—and how the double-edged sword of community shapes the work of redemption.

Book excerpt: The year is 1810, and a small group of French-Canadian voyageurs, fur trade men, are canoeing the largely uncharted waters of western Canada in a rush to reach the mouth of the Columbia River. As if traveling treacherous waters, crossing unmapped mountain passes, enduring harsh winters, and surviving among bears and wolves and encounters with unfamiliar indigenous tribes weren’t challenging enough, they likely have a thief in their midst and expect to become the target of an assassination attempt. The men, accompanied by a new British arrival and two Iroquois warriors, work at the behest of their beloved comrade, David Thompson, the famed British-Canadian fur trapper, mapmaker, and explorer. Unbeknownst to them, the stranger in their midst proves to be one William Ashford, a Captain of the 95th Regiment of foot and one of the 'Chosen Men’ of British riflemen. What they don’t know yet is that Ashford, an expert marksman, has been recruited by the British government as a spy and has been selected to protect Thompson and his maps and log books from a rogue group of Americans. He must use his skills as a rifleman, his intelligence as a military officer, and his willingness to learn from the Iroquois Indians who accompany and befriend him to protect Thompson at all costs. Drawing on a richly assembled history of exploration of western Canada and the race to claim its abundant resources, Twice Chosen Man offers an exhilarating rush and deep immersion into the forces that will ignite the War of 1812 and the eventual maturation of an emerging Canada.

I'm up against elders who think I'm too powerful, a family who views me as a threat, and something lurking in the shadows that's been coming for me my whole life. There's not a chance in hell I'm going down without a fight. I'm not lost anymore, and I'm about to show this world exactly what I can do.Author's Note: This is the first book in The Lost Sentinel Series and ends with a cliffhanger.

Book excerpt: The never-before-told story of one of the most decorated units in the war in Afghanistan and its fifteen-month ordeal that culminated in the 2008 Battle of Wanat, the war's deadliest A single company of US paratroopers--calling themselves the "Chosen Few"--arrived in eastern Afghanistan in late 2007 hoping to win the hearts and minds of the remote mountain people and extend the Afghan government's reach into this wilderness. Instead, they spent the next fifteen months in a desperate struggle, living under almost continuous attack, forced into a slow and grinding withdrawal, and always outnumbered by Taliban fighters descending on them from all sides. Month after month, rocket-propelled grenades, rockets, and machine-gun fire poured down on the isolated and exposed paratroopers as America's focus and military resources shifted to Iraq. Just weeks before the paratroopers were to go home, they faced their last--and toughest--fight. Near the village of Wanat in Nuristan province, an estimated three hundred enemy fighters surrounded about fifty of the Chosen Few and others defending a partially finished combat base. Nine died and more than two dozen were wounded that day in July 2008, making it arguably the bloodiest battle of the war in Afghanistan. The Chosen Few would return home tempered by war. Two among them would receive the Medal of Honor. All of them would be forever changed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about love, justice, and the highest goal possible – translating God’s will into real action on Earth. Written in 2014, this collection of poetry seeks to give strength and courage to people struggling. Old-fashioned but with a new kind of style, Khan-Jadoon’s measured use of language will leave you spellbound. The project is semiautobiographical, reflecting a year of recollections, conversations and experiences to produce a story of a young man who wished to put a stop to the evil in the world and indeed his heart. Honest to the point of transgression, Alive Aspiration is an exploration of the desires that motivate us all and drive us so often into conflict with one another. The scope of Alive Aspiration mirrors the breadth of human ambition itself, analyzing even the selfishness that can inspire altruistic behavior.

Socialite. Magician. Jordan Baker grows up in the most rarefied circles of 1920s American society—she has money, education, a killer golf handicap, and invitations to some of the most exclusive parties of the Jazz Age. She’s also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her. But the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how. Nghi Vo’s debut novel, The Chosen and the Beautiful, reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice.
