Book Description
New school year, same old problems . . . At Mythos Academy, everyone knows exactly who I am: Rory Forseti, Spartan girl and the daughter of Reapers. Even though I fought alongside my cousin Gwen Frost to save the mythological world from Loki and his evil Reapers of Chaos, I’m still the most hated girl at the academy because of all the horrible things my parents did. I had hoped that this school year would be different, but the other kids just won’t let me forget about my parents. But something strange is going on at the Colorado academy. First, I run into a Viking guy who dislikes me more than most. Then I notice some odd artifacts in the Library of Antiquities. And worst of all, I start hearing rumors about a new group of Reapers who can summon mythological monsters. I might be the most hated girl at Mythos Academy, but I’m also the only one who can save it . . .

The Heart of a Spartan
Author: Donovan J Rolle, Sr

ISBN: 9781716279522
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
At age thirty-nine, there was nothing author Donovan J. Rolle Sr. couldn't do physically. It wasn't a question of whether he would finish a competition, it was only a matter of how much time it would take. That changed months before the Spartan Beast when an injury forced him to reflect. In The Heart of a Spartan, he tells how he embraced the challenge and used it as an opportunity for soul searching and self-development. He discusses setting SMART goals, creating a plan to execute those goals, and diligently, consistently, and tenaciously doing what it takes to achieve those goals regardless of the setbacks and obstacles. Through his testimony, Rolle helps others understand they can be their authentic self regardless of external circumstances simply because they will learn to become confident in themselves, their talents, and their abilities as he has done. The Heart of a Spartan also speaks to proper physical training which encompasses a tri-fold foundational approach where one's mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness are paramount to successfully attaining physical fitness.

American Spartan
Author: Ann Scott Tyson
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062115006
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Lawrence of Arabia meets Sebastian Junger's War in this unique, incendiary, and dramatic true story of heroism and heartbreak in Afghanistan written by a Pulitzer Prize–nominated war correspondent. Army Special Forces Major Jim Gant changed the face of America’s war effort in Afghanistan. A decorated Green Beret who spent years in Afghanistan and Iraq training indigenous fighters, Gant argued for embedding autonomous units with tribes across Afghanistan to earn the Afghans’ trust and transform them into a reliable ally with whom we could defeat the Taliban and counter al-Qaeda networks. The military's top brass, including General David Petraeus, commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, approved, and Gant was tasked with implementing his controversial strategy. Veteran war correspondent Ann Scott Tyson first spoke with Gant when he was awarded the Silver Star in 2007. Tyson soon came to share Gant’s vision, so she accompanied him to Afghanistan, risking her life to embed with the tribes and chronicle their experience. And then they fell in love. Illustrated with dozens of photographs, American Spartan is their remarkable story—one of the most riveting, emotional narratives of wartime ever published.
