Book Description
As the world reels from events that will soon lead to World War II, Commander Frederick Wentworth, RN, separated from Anne Elliot, the girl he loves, by class prejudice, decides to throw himself full-bore into his profession. Qualifying as both a commando and a fighter pilot, he volunteers for a potentially fatal medical procedure, one that, if successful, could make him something more than a soldier. It could make him a symbol. Reuniting with Anne, now an RAF nurse, and emerging from the experiment improved to the peak of human perfection, Wentworth adopts the persona of "Colonel Britannia," the UK's answer to the flamboyant Nazi military leader, Das Silberne Skelett, "The Silver Skeleton." In the course of the War's early years, Wentworth will not only embody the spirit of his home country and all that stands for right during the war, but he will save an entire convoy from a sub attack, take on the Skeleton at every turn, become the UK's top ace during the Battle of Britain, and fight with everything he has to stop the Nazi menace. If he's good and lucky enough. THE ADVENTURES OF COLONEL BRITANNIA by Jim Doherty with stunning cover art by the legendary Joe Staton. From Pro Se Productions

Travels in Persia, Georgia and Koordistan
Author: Moritz Wagner
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Caucasus
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
The travel memoir of Wagner, a German explorer and scientist, from 1850 to 1851. The first volume focuses mostly on describing the people of and political situation in the Caucuses, as well as the author's difficulties during travel. The second volume contains some of the human interest pieces (including descriptions of warfare and Catholic missions, the city of Tiflis, and so forth) but also has a significant portion dedicated to his work as a naturalist. Wagner describes the soil, forests, and the mountain landscape. The third volume, covering Wagner's time in Persia, focuses again on the people Wagner meets, and he comments more on women in this volume than the other two.
