Each of the ten tales in this collection has a plot connected with the game of golf. The stories are also linked by an underlying theme based on the element of chance altering ordinary course of events. The appearance of a common character in almost all of them serves to heighten a sense of involvement as the different plots unfold. 'With a fine eye for detail and nuances in the human condition, as seen through the protagonists in each story, Parmarsan S. Thangkhiew's narrations weave seamlessly through golf, a prince among sports. Often, the author's wry sense of humor is also made all too evident, an exercise that is rare among present day Indian writers writing in English. A toast of a read!' Dhruba Hazarika, Author of 'Bowstring Winter'

In 1961, a Strategic Air Command bomber, a B-52, disintegrated in mid-air near Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.

This is the true story of that mission and the aftermath that could have been the worst man-made disaster in history. Eye-witnesses to the crash have unique stories to tell, as well as the last surviving crew member who made a miraculous escape, without an ejection seat. Also included is the story of the man who deactivated both 3.8 megaton bombs. And part of one of the bombs is still buried there, in a field near Faro, North Carolina.

This sparkling collection of tales told around Western campfires, written by the master chronicler of the range, is a literary find of great interest and genuine importance. Andy Adams is remembered chiefly as the author of The Log of a Cowboy. Among the most charming features of the Log are the stories the cowhands told around the fires at night when the day's work was done. Similar and equally delightful stories are scattered throughout several other less successful novels, long out of print, while others that never saw publication were found by the editor among Adams' papers. In the present book, Wilson M. Hudson has gathered together these tales of the trail and camp into one volume that surely will delight the hearts of all readers who are interested in the old West.
