Book Description
A unique and much-needed perspective on the transitions veterans go through after returning home from war service. It is a difficult time to be a veteran of a small war in the United States. After twenty years of combat and counter-insurgency, a generation of Afghan, Iraq, and Global War on Terror veterans struggle to integrate back into civilian society and lead productive lives. As the wars these men and women have participated in continue—while they simultaneously recede to the past—many feel a sense of estrangement from their country, friends, and prior lives. They often long to return to war but hope to never go again and are stuck in a nether world of war without end and peace that does not exist. In Front toward Enemy: War, Veterans, and the Homefront, Daniel R. Green uses his own experiences with war from having served five military and civilian tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and provides a different perspective on the transition home. Using sociological, philosophical, literary, cultural, historical, and political perspectives he provides a venue for the countless conversations he has had with his fellow veterans about their own experiences as a way to assist others with their transition from war and the military to peace and civilian life. Green provides not just a war veteran’s views but the amplifying perspective of a political scientist—as well as a reserve officer—in order to rescue the issue of the “returning veteran” from the field of psychology and to broaden the understanding of the experience of war for veterans. This book bridges the gap between war veterans and their fellow citizens, sheds light on the quiet conversations that take place among veterans about their experiences, and enriches the collective understanding of how wars affect people.

Book Description
It's never a good day when a radioactive hunk of starship nearly drops on your head. The Claugh Empire attacked Edie's planet fifteen years ago, murdered her parents, and left the teen for dead. So when a wrecked Claugh starship interrupts a salvage mission, she's torn between revenge and rescuing survivors—especially the stirring captain with an uncanny ability to rekindle her dead emotions. Something about him inflames the urge to come to terms with her past. But the mercenary in Edie doubts trusting a former enemy will bring her redemption or put old prejudices to bed. When a new common enemy, hell-bent on wiping out humanoids, threatens to bury them all, the captain tries to convince her a mutual coalition might breach their political impasse—all for the greater good.

Book Description
I searched all over Google “How to write an introduction for a novel?” and to be honest I found nothing. So, I have written by opening my heart, every word is written from my heart. I read many books, all books speak about strengths, peace, success, wealth and health too. But I didn’t find any book which speaks on our enemies. We know that half of our time will be spent on thinking about our enemies and tackling them. So, I decided to write a book on enemies. The story starts from childhood to old age explains all the incidents which a common man faces and coming to know all his enemies. The specialties of the book are it helps to find your real enemies, the other specialty is there are tasks which you have to do. This is a novel that is not just a story but some tasks that need to perform. One more specialty is I wrote this book when I was 18 and published it when I was 19. I am hundred percent sure after you read this book, you will never feel that this is a book written by a teenager. This book is written in a very simple language which can be completed in just 1 week. This a book which doesn’t require a dictionary to read, everything is written in simple language. My friends and the publishers read this book in just one week. This is the best book for a beginner to start habituating to reading novels. I didn’t see any book which was written in this simpler language. There might be some books written in simpler language but are very rare. Reading 180 pages of a book may look difficult to complete in one week. You are right but not this book. Don’t keep any doubts in mind just start reading the book. The book may seem boring in middle but has a very good meaning in the story.
