St Martins Pr

It's America's boot camp, 88 days of drills, inspections, rifle practices, war games, grueling physical exercise and a regimen that separates the men from the boys...
Boot is an insider's account, told by a former Marine and veteran journalist who went back to Parris Island to see if today's grunt measures up to the crack troops he served with in the South Pacific. He follows the recruits of Platoon 1036 from Day One through every step of the rugged training that transforms raw recruits into a fighting elite. His searingly honest, you-are-there coverage brings these unforgettable weeks to life...and lets anyone who's been there judge for himself if today's brand of "tough" is tough enough for a real Leatherneck, a man proud to be a Marine.

St. Martin's Paperbacks

The thing that went bump in the night was a helicopter. And Maynard Griggs, anthropologist, just happened to be in the vicinity completing his study of Zaire's Magenda d'Zondo tribe. So he rushed to the crash site and rescued the lone survivor, Consuela Millan, a fiery major in the Cuban army.\nBut, by next morning, something—something that left tiny, hooved footprints—had come out of the jungle. Whatever it was had removed every trace of the wreck—as well as the army payroll Consuela had stolen.\nHer impetuous search for the money led her and Griggs into a strange world peopled by stranger beings, creatures whose intentions they did not understand... until it was too late!
