Book Description
World War III is like most wars. It comes at the wrong time. It erupts in the worst places, with the worst enemies, and it fails to unfold as planned during the inter-war years. Generals often train to fight the last war again, but they rarely seem to remember the lessons of earlier conflicts. Asia explodes as communist armies pour into Korea, Taiwan, and Indochina. An attrition battlefield-reminiscent of The Great War's Western Front-stretches from the Gulf of Tonkin to the Bay of Bengal. All over Southeast Asia Coalition forces find themselves in a strange situation. Their high-tech, 21st Century armies are forced to fight a 19th Century, trench war in one the most ancient and undeveloped areas of the world. All of today's "Digital Warrior" electronics, communication networks, and sophisticated weapon systems are brought to bear on human waves of Chinese infantry assaults. This is not a traditional narrative. Follow the war's progress through news reports and editorials. Then, letters home from a modern G.I. tell the tale of life in the trenches and the uses of today's weapons in tomorrow's war!

Book Description
The undeniable history of mankind clearly shows us that human conflict has far from passed. In places like Kuwait, Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosovo, the 20th Century ended brutally. Given the trends of modern conflict, the economic separation of peoples, the rise in religious affiliated terrorism, and the social hatreds that remain between races, tomorrow's wars can only be more violent than those of the past. The X-MAS War is really an anthology of four books: Black Rain For Christmas, The Secret War In South Asia, Sixth Fleet Under, and The Sugar-Sweet Smell of Fear. All four have overlapping storylines. They're tales are all told through the use of news reports, traditional narratives, diary entries, and letters home. Each book is a complete story by itself, but together they give a brand new perspective to the unique aspects of 21st Century warfare!

From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed screenwriter of Amores perros, 21 Grams, and Babel, A Sweet Scent of Death is Guillermo Arriaga's tale of deception, passion, and violence fused together by the tragic killing of a young girl in a small Mexican village. Early one morning in a deserted field, Ramón Castaños is confronted with the dead body of Adela, a lovely young girl, whom he had only admired from afar. Within an hour, rumor of the death of Ramón Castaños's girlfriend has spread to every corner of Loma Grande. This powder-trail of gossip ignites further violence when the villagers, thirsty for revenge, cast about for answers and hit upon the nomadic José Echeverri-Berriozábal, known as "the Gypsy." Honor then demands that Ramón must now live out his imaginary past in a brutal reality and prove his manhood by avenging Adela's cruel fate. Guillermo Arriaga is the author of The Night Buffalo and The Guillotine Squad. He has worked in television, radio, and film. Arriaga is the award-winning screenwriter of Amores perros, 21 Grams, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and Babel.

The book follows the life of Scotty. Firstly, through his childhood and emigration to Australia. Then into the army and onto the streets of Belfast in the seventies. Then off to Brazil and the violence of Rio.
