Seal salvation / by James, Elle,author.(CARDINAL)483378;
All he wants is to be left alone. Jake Cogburn lost his leg, his career, his brotherhood and his will to live when he stepped on that IED in Afghanistan. Back in his home state of Colorado, he's determined to bury himself as deeply as he can in a bottle of Jack Daniels until the pain in his leg and his heart is so numb he can no longer feel. No man left behind.Hank Patterson refuses to let his buddy, Jake, slowly kill himself with alcohol. Hank's plan to expand the Brotherhood Protectors into Colorado will only work if he can hire the best men for the job. He wants Jake and sends fellow Coloradan, Kujo, to pull Jake out of an alcohol-induced haze to work for the team. Hank's contact has a place they can set up operations while flying under the radar-a flailing dude ranch, run by a former Marine Gunnery sergeant and his feisty daughter.Rucker Juliet Tate is as unconventional as the name her father gave her upon her birth. After her mother died when RJ was only a baby, she was left in the capable hands of her taciturn Marine father to be raised tough and ready to accept any challenge. Including adopting a Military Working Dog with only three legs. Retraining the dog to live in a civilian world is practically a fulltime job. She's up for it, until she witnesses a meeting she shouldn't have seen and is thrown into the path of a killer who wants to wipe her memory, by erasing her from existence. Jake's first assignment as a Brotherhood Protector is to stick to the rebellious daughter of the owner of a dude ranch and make certain she doesn't fall victim to the person gunning for her. Meanwhile, RJ fights to keep from falling victim to the love blossoming in her heart over the young Navy SEAL who dogs her every footstep. Even her German Shepherd likes the SEAL better than RJ. And worse...she finds herself falling for the cranky, one-legged frogman. Her challenge is to live long enough to see where these feelings take her. --

US fast battleships, 1936-47 : the North Carolina and South Dakota classes / by Burr, Lawrence.(CARDINAL)484494; Bell, Peter,illustrator.;
Includes bibliographical references (page 44) and index.This volume details the design, construction, and operation of the first six of the ten US fast battleships - two of the North Carolina class and four of the South Dakota class. These six battleships were all authorized in 1936 and were the first such vessels built in the US since 1923. Consequently, these ships benefitted from enormous technological leaps, with improvements in ship design, power, armor, armament and the single most important improvement - the use of radar-guided fire control - all combining to help change the course of the war in the Pacific. Packed with first-hand accounts, battle reports and specially created artwork, this book tells the story of these war-winning vessels.

Star of the North [large print] : a novel / by John, David,1966-author.(CARDINAL)422687;
In 1988, a Korean-American teenager is kidnapped from a South Korean beach by North Korean operatives. Twenty-two years later, her brilliant twin sister, Jenna, is still searching for her, and ends up on the radar of the CIA. When evidence that her sister may still be alive in North Korea comes to light, Jenna will do anything possible to rescue her--including undertaking a daring mission into the heart of the regime. Her story is braided together with two other narrative threads. In one, a North Korean peasant woman finds a forbidden international aid balloon and uses the valuables inside to launch a dangerously lucrative black-market business. In the other, a high-ranking North Korean official discovers, to his horror, that he may be descended from a traitor, a fact that could mean his death if it is revealed. These narrative strands converge and connect in surprising ways, ultimately building to an explosive and unforgettable climax.

Where is Bin Laden? -- Acknowledgements.The late 1990s saw a number of attacks against American military and governmental offices, most notably the US Embassy bombings in Africa in 1998. On September 11, 2001, however, the scale of this conflict changed dramatically. The skyjacking of four commercial airliners on that sunny Tuesday morning led to the deaths of some 3,000 people. As in 1998, the terrorist group responsible for this devastating campaign was Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, or "The Base," a loose network of extremists many of whom are willing to die for their cause, the promotion of a militant form of Islam, and the destruction of the West. In this book, the author crosses four continents in search of bin Laden's terror network. The result of four years research, reporting and travel throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America, she has conducted hundreds of interviews with key eyewitnesses, investigators, and intelligence officers around the world. Tracing al-Qaeda's roots back to the jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, she picks up the complicated trail that led to the collapse of the Twin Towers and beyond. Exploring the tradecraft of "The Base," she shows how they used the training drilled into them in the Afghan terror camps to stay below the radar of the world's most sophisticated intelligence agency. Here too are descriptions of the parallel deadly plots to kill hundreds in Europe, only uncovered in their final stages.
