Lírio De Tigre De Bangkok Em Londres: A Tigresa Acorda Novamente! (Lírio De Tigre De Bangkok #2)
by Owen JonesLÍRIO DE TIGRE DE BANGKOK EM LONDRES por Owen Jones A Tigresa acorda novamente enquanto estudava em um hospital infantil em Londres. Lírio de Tigre de Bangkok em Londres Depois do efeito devastador que sua violência causou em sua própria vida e dos cidadãos de Bangkok em seus primeiros dias como estudante de medicina, a vida de Lily se acalmou e ela se estabeleceu em seus estudos. Depois de dois anos, ela ganhou uma bolsa de estudos para trabalhar no Hospital Infantil Great Ormond Street, em Londres, e se mudou para lá sem Ron, que continuou seus estudos em Bangkok. ‘Lírio de Tigre de Bangkok em Londres’ retoma sua história no segundo ano de dois anos como estudante de medicina no hospital. Ela ama seu trabalho lá e se dá bem com a equipe e com os pacientes infantis, mas ela não tem amigos fora do trabalho. Em um de seus dias de folga, ela lê um artigo no Sunday Times sobre rede organizada de pedofilia em Londres envolvendo o próprio establishment do país e isso a deixa furiosa. Ela pode ignorar isto ou se envolver. Sua primeira reação é evitar o despertar do Demônio que a possuiu em Bangkok apenas dois anos antes, mas quando ela encontra outras vítimas de abuso infantil, parece que o dado foi lançado. Esta história não é para quem tem estômago fraco, mas não descreve atos de abuso infantil. No entanto, faz referências frequentes a cenas notórias de abuso infantil, especialmente o infame "Abatedouro de Carnes" em Piccadilly Circus, no centro de Londres. Que vergonha para os nossos chamados líderes, que preferem proteger os abusadores poderosos do que os impotentes abusados! Muitas das questões levantadas ainda estão sob investigação policial no momento em que escrevo, embora poucas pessoas esperem que algo venha delas.

Logo após o incidente, o pai de Lily morreu. Alguns disseram que foi de vergonha. A própria Lily recebeu uma compensação que ela queria usar para mudar sua vida.

MIKE Force
by Shaun DarraghA soldier serving with the MIKE Force in Vietnam wakes every day knowing that it might be his last. You don't run with the indigenous Montagnard strikers expecting to live forever. That's the nature of the beast that haunts American advisors serving with the tough little tribal volunteers in Vietnam's misty, enemy-infested Central Highlands. It's a tough, demanding duty and just the kind of thing that attracts military mavericks like former Peace Corps volunteer Galen St. Cyr, who discovers empathy and a new, mystical identity with the Jarai tribesmen of his MIKE Force unit. St. Cyr finds himself on the outskirts of the regular US military along with hand-picked American, Australian, and Vietnamese Special Forces advisors and quickly discovers that duty with Montagnard soldiers involves more than just beating the bush and killing the enemy. The world of the Jarai is both primitive and complex, and learning to survive in it is the challenge of St. Cyr's turbulent life. On a journey that becomes as much spiritual as military, he virtually becomes Jarai, taking a hauntingly beautiful native lover who commands a squad of assassins and listens to spirit voices, and deals with tribal separatist elements who are planning an anti-government coup.
