Book excerpt: www, mikebondbooks.com MIKE BOND BOUND is the e-Book bundling of three Mike Bond thrillers: HOLY WAR - HOUSE OF JAGUAR - THE LAST SAVANNA HOLY WAR The Battle of Beirut is worse than Hell, an irrational maelstrom of implacable hatreds and inconceivable suffering, of screaming bombs and exploding shells, crashing buildings, sniper battles, and deadly ambushes. Neill, a war correspondent on a secret mission for Britain's MI6 intelligence agency, is trying to find Mohammed, a Hezbollah terrorist leader who may be willing to stop the slaughter and destruction. Andre, a French commando, is also looking for Mohammed, to kill him in revenge for the death of his brother, blown up with over 400 US Marines and French paratroopers by Hezbollah. For Rosa, a remorseless and passionate Palestinian guerrilla, Mohammed is one of the few hopes left for her people, and she will give her life to protect him. And for lovely Anne-Marie, Andre is the only one who can rescue her from Hell. Based on Bond's own experiences in Lebanon, Syria and the Middle East, Holy War has been praised for its portrayal of battle and its journalistic and political realism, and for its evocative descriptions of men and women caught in a deadly crossfire. "Bond does it again - A gripping tale of passion, hostage-taking and war, set against a war-ravaged Beirut." Evening News "A profound tale of war...Literally impossible to stop reading." British Armed Forces Broadcasting HOUSE OF JAGUAR Shot down over the jungle with a planeload of marijuana, Vietnam War hero Joe Murphy gets caught up in the brutal Guatemalan Civil War when he witnesses an attack on a Mayan village by the Guatemalan Army and its CIA "advisors." Badly injured, he escapes on a nightmare trek through the jungle, hunted by the Army, the CIA, and death squads. Healed by guerrilla doctor Dona Villalobos, he falls in love with her and tries to save her from the War's widening horror of insanity, tragedy, and death. Caught in the crucible of violence and love, he learns the peaks and depths the human heart can reach, and what humans will do for, and to, each other. Based on the author's own experiences as one of the last foreign correspondents left alive in Guatemala after over 100 journalists had been killed by Army death squads. THE LAST SAVANNA With Africa's last elephants dying under the poachers' guns, Kenya rancher and former SAS officer Ian MacAdam leads a commando squad against them. Pursuing the poachers through jungled mountains and searing deserts he battles thirst, solitude, terror and lethal animals, only to find that the poachers have kidnapped a young archaeologist, Rebecca Hecht, whom he once loved and bitterly lost. McAdam embarks upon a desperate trek to save not only Rebecca but his own soul in an Africa torn apart by wars, overpopulation, and the slaughter of its last wildlife. Based on the author's experiences pursuing elephant poachers in the wilds of East Africa. "Mike Bond's THE LAST SAVANNA is shot through with images of the natural world at its most fearsome and most merciful. With his weapons, man is a conqueror - without them he is a fugitive in an alien land. Bond touches on the vast and eerie depths that lie under the thin crust of civilization and the base instinct within man to survive - instincts that surpass materialism. A thoroughly enjoyable read that comes highly recommended." (Nottingham Observer)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As well as being a love story, this authentic work, backed by a rich tapestry of Indian lore, focuses on modern lives that clash against a rapidly vanishing Indian.” Sue Lewando The Hornbill Crescendo portrays the idyllic landscapes around the villages of north-eastern India, revealing the beauty of life blossoming in its diversity. Happiness there is abundant, radiated in the wrinkles and creases on every dimpled face. Peace, love and lust; intoxication, violence and anxiety; indulgence, aggression and pure submission unfold in vibrant colour through the narration. This work of fiction exposes social hypocrisy and the peculiarity of taboos and customs, balanced against real lives in rural villages that remain close to nature. It is a love story, in which two young people, when attempting to cross the social divide, have to overcome the conflicts of each other’s cultural identities. “People in the hills, aren’t they luckier? They are not carried away by complex taboos

Book excerpt: Chicken in a Cage is the second book of a trilogy set in Southeast Asia and China. The first book, Truth Gone Missing, introduced Laney and Cade, two seasoned travellers, whose vacation in Malaysia turned out to be a journey through a maze of theft, poaching, kidnapping, and murder. A year after their return to California, Laney and Cade set out again -- this time to Borneo. Because the trip is not to be a long one, they treat themselves to a stay at the luxurious Iban Longhouse Resort, where they intend to relax by a river in the midst of a tropical rain forest. Their peace is soon violently disrupted by murder, attack by pirates, and kidnapping -- all the result of a crime-web woven by self-serving officials and tribal members, corrupt developers and conservationists, alienated travellers and refugees, discontented employees and dysfunctional family members -- each a suspect, and each a Chicken in a Cage.

Book excerpt: Lose yourself in the beauty of nature this winter... A ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 For readers of George Monbiot, Isabella Tree and Robert Macfarlane - an urgent and lyrical account of endangered places around the globe and the people fighting to save them. 'Powerful, timely, beautifully written and wonderfully hopeful' Rob Cowen, author of Common Ground All across the world, irreplaceable habitats are under threat. Unique ecosystems of plants and animals are being destroyed by human intervention. From the tiny to the vast, from marshland to meadow, and from Kent to Glasgow to India to America, they are disappearing. Irreplaceable is a love letter to the haunting beauty of these landscapes and their wild species. Exploring coral reefs and remote mountains, tropical jungle, ancient woodland and urban allotments, it traces the stories of threatened places through local communities, grassroots campaigners, ecologists and academics. Julian Hoffman's rigorous, impassioned account is a timely reminder of the vital connections between humans and nature - and all that we stand to lose. It is a powerful call to arms in the face of unconscionable natural destruction. ***** 'A terrific book, prescient, serious and urgent' Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun 'Unforgettable. At a time when the Earth often seems broken beyond repair, this courageous and hopeful book offers life-changing encounters with the more-than-human world' Nancy Campbell, author of The Library of Ice 'Wonderful, tender and subtle, beautifully written and filled with a calm authority' Adam Nicolson, author of The Seabird's Cry *Highly Commended Finalist for the Wainwright Prize for Writing on Global Conservation 2020*

Book excerpt: It begins with the bloodied scene of a Burmese army base being overrun by the Kachin rebels and it ends with a painful suicide. In between, the over 350 pages long book vividly portrays the almost forgotten suffering of the people of Burma still under a brutal military dictatorship. The fictional story is largely based on, first, the author's childhood growing up as a boy cadet in a military boarding school run by Burmese Army, and later, his over a year stint as a boy soldier in a battalion of Burmese Northern Army in Kachin State. Most of the facts and events from the book are either based on the direct experiences of the author or the experiences of other soldiers from his battalion, then fighting a savage war against Kachin Independence Army, KIA, by the Chinese border, in the early seventies. Read this book. It will leave an unforgettable and sorrowful image of war-torn Burma in your mind .

Kingsley dans "Travels in West Africa (Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons)". Laissez-vous transporter à travers la plume vibrante de Kingsley dans des régions méconnues du XIXe siècle, allant du Congo Français à Corisco et aux Camerouns. Plongez dans des récits captivants de rencontres avec des cultures tribales fascinantes, des expéditions dans des jungles épaisses et des observations aiguës sur la faune et la flore exotiques. Kingsley offre une perspective unique sur les défis et les merveilles de l'Afrique occidentale, tout en dépeignant le courage personnel nécessaire pour explorer des terres inexplorées. "Travels in West Africa" est bien plus qu'un simple récit de voyage ; c'est une fenêtre ouverte sur un monde lointain, mêlant aventure, anthropologie et exploration botanique, et invitant les lecteurs à découvrir la diversité et la beauté de l'Afrique à travers les yeux d'une exploratrice audacieuse."
