Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book is based on a true story. To survive a severe drought in a remote West Texas town, the owners of a small farm were forced to breed their champion hunting dogs and sell the pups. Nine puppies were born. One pup was a runt. Unable to afford dogs that would not sell, the owner planned to put the runt down. The owner's son begged his Father to save "Ragnar" the runt. The owner gives Ragnar to a hunter, informing the hunter that Ragnar is gun-shy. The hunter used frequent and severe beatings believing he could force Ragnar to overcome his fear of noise. His abusive treatment of Ragnar was to no avail. Eventually, he sold Ragnar to two hunters in Utah. He did not tell the Utah hunters Ragnar was gun-shy. The Utah hunters learned Ragnar was gun-shy but discovered he had an amazing attraction to children. The Utah hunters had no use for a dog that would not hunt and gave Ragnar to a family member. After a short time, the family member passed Ragnar onto another family with an eight-year-old-daughter named Lizzie. Lizzie was a shy, troubled child. Her days were plagued by frequent meltdowns, fear of thunderstorms, fireworks, dogs, new people, heights and more. She had no friends. Ragnar was afraid of loud noises, people and anything new or different. He lived in fear of being beaten. Despite Lizzie's fear of dogs and Ragnar's fear of people, they were somehow magically drawn to one another.If there was any hope of Lizzie and Ragnar being happy, they had to learn to trust others and each other and overcome their many fears. Matthew Carp and LaMont Olsen are retired Army Colonels who worked together for many years as Social Work Officers on active duty and later in the private sector. LaMont was born and raised in Utah while Matthew grew up in Minnesota. Both are married with two children. Their families are all devoted pet lovers who always had pets and raised and brought their dogs, and an occasional cat as they resided in several places within the United States, Asia and Europe. It was LaMont and his hunting buddy Ron, who purchased "Ragnar" only to learn that he was a dog that would not hunt. The story of what happened next needed telling This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The year was 2030 and earth's natural resources had been depleted. World War Three had been fought over water and had devastated the planet. Book one describes the building of the Space Train, which was said to be the most advanced, technological spaceship ever built. It contained everything the one-hundred-and-twenty federal convicts would need to establish a colony on a distant planet which was called "The New World." NASA had discovered the planet which was habitable, and if successful, could provide a new home for millions of people from earth. However, Doctors Vidula and Ervin Kozenskie had other plans. Vidula and Ervin were both convicts, after they unsuccessfully tried taking over the world economy employing a sophisticated plot using hitmen and intimidation. Justin LeMoore, the Mental Health Coordinator, and several of his friends discovered the Kozenskies intentions to disrupt the mission, perhaps even hijack the train and divert it to another planet. When Justin tries to alert the command of the Kozenskies intentions, Vidula states she will make Justin's life "a living hell." In book two, the Kozenskies carry out their threat. The train is hijacked and diverted to another planet that Ervin and several of his astronomer friends discovered. The pilot and copilot are killed to preclude being able to return to earth. A meltdown of the of the train's electrical and computer system stops the train which is then almost destroyed by a meteor storm. Due to a miscalculation, the ship overshoots their intended landing site and makes a crash landing. This item is printed on demand.
