Average rating on Goodreads: 4.07

Bonjour, my name is André Chevalier. It has been my joy and my great honor to help those who have lost their way. Not long after I began my journey, I met two such wounded souls.  Renata Koreman, my little mouse. She came to me as a child—shy, mute, injured… broken. It took oh-so many years to start to bring her back to herself! Yet, I could not fully heal her.  Years later, Grant Wilkinson, he too fell into my hands. The ex-Army Ranger was badly disfigured and saw himself as a monster. Isolated by secrets, solitary and self-contained, his colleagues affectionately named him ‘Frosty.’ Yet, how should one behave when besieged by a lifetime of confusion and guilt?  The moment I saw him, I thought of her and I wondered. The eyes, they cannot always see clearly. And the heart? Ah, the heart can only guess at the truth. So it was that I remained uncertain.  Could the mouse and the monster heal each other?

Rei Wan The Outsider
by Jim Herman
Average rating on Goodreads: 5.00

The year was 1968, one of the ugliest, most divisive time periods in American history. Half the nation thought the Communist threat in Viet Nam posed an existential threat to the US. The other part of the country felt that warring against Viet Nam was morally indefensible. A young 21-year-old University graduate beckons to the call of the Peace Corps and finds himself winging it out across the ocean into the far flung Western Pacific Islands of Micronesia. Little did he know that destiny was about to offer him the most uniquely exciting two-year experience a young man could ever be afforded, complete with open sea outrigger sailing canoe voyages, thyphoon strikes, shark encounters, romantic liaisons and WWII episodes. Rei Wan is a first person account of the wisdom embodied in living the totally self-sufficient life style of a so-called “primitive” people who live on a geographical spit of nothingness in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Sent to the islands to prepare the inhabitants to come abreast of the 20th century, the young man discovers that the islanders have more to teach him than he has to teach them. Most important, though, the lessons he learns from these outer islanders could possibly be a lesson on sustainability applicable to the 21st century.

Fighting The Storm
by Marcia Burns
Average rating on Goodreads: 4.38

By the end of February I had been diagnosed with breast cancer and had surgery to remove the lump (partial mastectomy) and lymph nodes. My cancer was removed. When you are diagnosed with breast cancer you don't get time to think or to feel sorry for yourself. You just have to make quick decisions and do what your doctors advise you. I think back now - two years later, and I can see now that I was in a kind of trance, I tuned out and that was because I had no time to adjust or to allow my diagnosis to sink in. In many ways that was a good thing, especially for me at the time. The more time I had to think about what was happening, the more time I had to dwell.  Fighting the storm is my journey through breast cancer. From finding my lump, diagnosis, surgery, chemo, radiotherapy, tamoxifen and all the not so wonderful side effects.

The trio must dive into the system and program the kill switch directly into the robot’s system.Little do they know that this is yet just an cover-up operation to use the trio to further the military’s project-QR; resurfacing a long since sunken city from before the times of the war which allegedly harbored civilization’s largest King Solomon’s Library and the T-16 weapons vault.The race is on!
