Fleeing the guilts of his youth, Lieutenant Leslie Deacon has escaped to hide in the army and the vast rock deserts of a scorched and war-ravaged Aden . Adoo rebels hurl grenades from the shadows and a hard-pressed British Army is struggling to keep order and control. When the Adoo bring the war inside the city, a new guerrilla warfare is needed to keep the rebels at bay and the garrison and its civilians safe. Into this fearful, threatened city comes the adventurer Clemmie Ross and the charismatic Captain Villiers. Deacon's world of duty, honour, courage and love begins to explode and fragment about him. In Aden's scorched deserts and bombed streets, duty only brings death, and honour offers no reward. Only through love will Deacon find peace. All he has to do is find it.

If you were ever a victim of Beatlemania this book is for you! In the tradition of teenagers around the world, as a teenager the author had fantasized about meeting the Beatles. A strange thing happened to those teenage stories, though. They grew up and became a realistic story of one girl who did meet the Beatles. Tess Martin is an ordinary girl who is thrown into an extraordinary situation and tells her story so believably you quickly forget she and her experiences are fictional. Grounded in the reality of the 60's, the difficulties of fame, the discovery, uncertainty, and awakening sexuality of first love, her story incorporates Beatles history that makes it something that could have happened, characterizations of them that fans can believe, and a story line that will enchant, amuse, startle, and keep you up half the night needing to read just one more chapter.

An account of the mobilization of thousands of volunteers who rescued, supported, and welcomed refugees during the recent European refugee crisis. In The New Internationalists, Sue Clayton tells the story of the largest civic mobilization since the Second World War, when volunteers--many young and untrained--took on unimaginable responsibilities and saved thousands of lives. During the European refugee crisis of 2015-2020, they witnessed first hand the catastrophic failure of established NGOs, and the indifference--and frequently, the open hostility--of the EU and national governments. Many faced state hostility themselves. Their accounts show how activist volunteers have shaped today's European humanitarian agenda, and provide a powerful critique of failures of current policy.

This stunning debut collection of stories draws heavily on the author’s memories of growing up in Trinidad and explores themes of family, faith, race, child abuse, sexuality, and otherness. In one story, a young boy experiences his first signs of love for a man as sinful, terrifying, and evil, resulting in the end of his innocence. In another, a lonely schoolboy is whipped and shamed for soiling his pants, his only companion a cow he calls Mama. Heartbreaking yet hopeful, funny yet wise, these stories are infused with the warmth and vibrancy of the Caribbean sun and the insight of a young man who was trying to find love amidst the violence of his childhood.
