by Mike BlakelyPairing extensive research with a brilliance for reviving the past in gripping narrative, Spur Award-winning author Mike Blakely has penned an epic, historical novelization of the Mexican-American War in A Sinister Splendor1845. Texas joins the union. Mexico threatens war over the disputed Texas border. But much more than the Rio Grande Valley lies at stake—expansionists dream of an America that sprawls all the way to the Pacific Coast. Can a conflict with an already war-torn Mexico satisfy this lust for territory? President James K. Polk sends troops the Texas border to test Mexico’s appetite for war. General Zachary Taylor, known as “Old Rough and Ready,” leads the invasion south. A 24-year-old lieutenant named Ulysses S. Grant gets his first taste of battle. Texas Rangers John Coffee Hays and Sam Walker expand their reputations as fearless fighting men. An Irishman, John Riley, quits the U.S. Army—along with hundreds of other mistreated immigrant soldiers—and forms a Mexican battalion of U.S. deserters. Army laundress Sarah Bowman is celebrated as a heroine on her way to becoming a frontier legend. The infamous Mexican warlord, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, returns to power through intrigue and political persuasion. The Mexican-American war becomes the heroic proving ground for future Civil War generals and presidents of the United States, Mexico and the Confederacy. But the glories of victory are tempered by the horrors of war—lives lost, bodies battered, souls shattered, dreams crushed, whole cities razed and innocence forever dashed. With a sinister splendor two very different cultures clash in an epic adventure of duty, patriotism and courage to the death.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

A Star to Follow
by Elizabeth HowardArizona was a remote and primitive place in 1875--especially when compared to Detroit. Ellen and Nettie really found this out when they made the difficult trip to the Southwest to join their parents at the army post commanded by their father. Nettie, who was gay and pretty, with the interests suitable for a young girl, adjusted quickly to army life. There were too many attractive lieutenants around for life to become boring. Ellen, however, found nothing in the tea-parties and the army gossip to replace her dream of going to college and becoming a doctor. The only man who really interested her was Neil Brent, but he was an enlisted man and therefore an officer's daughter could not associate with him. In desperation Ellen strove to overcome the prejudice which her parents and the post doctor felt toward the idea of a girl's studying medicine, and she finally won permission to read the doctor's medical books as a first step toward realizing her ambition. No one except Neil Brent believed that Ellen could actually stick to a vocation so difficult and in many ways so repellent. The desert country has its own fascination, as Ellen discovered. Miss Howard captures its appeal in her vivid description of mountains and mesas and the weird beauty of the cactus. Set against this background, the story of Ellen's struggle to follow her star and her heart has a particular charm which girls will find absorbing and unusual.
