This is timeless stuff, worthy of being read in the era of Caesar, Alexander, Leonidas - or a long time ago, in a glaaxy far, far away." - Steven Pressfield, author of Gates of Fire and The War of Art. "Here is the rare book that changes the lives of young men and the views of older ones. Intense, riveting, inspiring, and humbling. Damn few make it. Damn few can do what the SEALs do." - Hugh Hewitt. "Rorke Denver trains the men who become Navy SEALSs - the most creative problem solvers on the modern battlefield, ideal warriors for the kinds of wars AMerica is fighting now.

Prepareing the next generation of SEALs for their "Hero or Zero" missions to come. In startling detail, Denver reveals how the SEALs' high-impact operations became front and center in America's War on Terror - and how these modern warriors are altering warfare everywhere." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Fireball would make a great movie!" -- Lou Lumenick, Chief Film Critic, New York Post. "At 5 A.M. on January 16, 1942, Carole Lombard, Hollywood's "Queen of Screwball" and wife of the king of the movies, Clark Gable, stepped onto a Transcontinental & Western Airlines DC-3 designated as Flight 3 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lombard had just completed the first sale of war bonds and stamps in the nation following the U.S. entry into World War II. Exhausted from five days on the road, Carole intended to return to her husband by the fastest means possible. Hours later, Flight 3 lay a flaming pile of debris strewn across the side of Potosi Mountain, Nevada. Fireball provides a fresh look at Lombard's life along with a first-ever examination of the events that led to that final flight. The book also provides a day-by-day look at the struggles of Clark Gable and Lombard's family, friends, and fans to cope with the tragedy as Lombard became the first Hollywood star to sacrifice her life in World War II. Fireball explores the lives of the 21 others on the place and addresses one of the most enduring mysteries of World War II: On a clear night full of stars, with TWA's most experienced piolot at the controls of a 10-month-old aircraft under the power of two fully functioning engines, why did Flight 3 crash into that Nevada mountainside? The gripping page-turner Fieball presents the story of the poeple on the plane, the friends and families left behind, and the heroic first responders who struggled up a mountain hoping to perform a miracle rescue. From the first page to the last, Fireball tells a story of accomplishment, bravery, sacrifice, and loss." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Includes List of Other Books by Jimmy Buffett; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; About this Book; Apology to the Author; About the Author and About the Illustrator. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings. "Storyteller's Note: Question: What on earth am I doing writing a book about a pig living secretly with a working-mother chef, her two children, and a cat in a four-star hotel in New York -- instead of telling a tale about islands, ships, and planes? Answer: Swine Not? In all my previous fiction, the stories were rooted in this nomad life I live. I converted my real-life experiences into fictional fun and made up a few more tales myself -- always keeping a bit of mystery as to what was based on reality and what had sprung from my imagination. Faulkner said he was a liar by profession, and he made good money at it. And every now and then, if you are lucky enough, you don't have to go looking for the story. It comes to you. As a fiction writer, sometimes you simply can't top the facts; you use them as a roux to make a bigger pot of literary gumbo." -- Jimmy Buffett, from the rear outer jacket. "Bestselling novelist Jimmy Buffett has been making up stories all his life. (The dog ate his homework, and that new tattoo was somebody else's fault.) Now fiction's favorite pirate spins a colorful novel about a Southern family determined to hide their pet pig in a fancy four-star hotel in New York City -- while a meat-loving chef is sharpening his carving knife downstairs. Come along as master storyteller Jimmy Buffett presents a gumbo of captivating characters and outrageous events in this wonderfully entertaining pig tale -- proving once again that stretching the truth is a lot of fun, and laughing is the best vacation of all." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
