As a young enlisted man, Randy Kington served on the front line with some of the first Marine combat units in Vietnam in 1965 and â€™66. Kington describes his transformation from boy to man and the training that allowed him to survive nine months of some of the fiercest fighting of the Vietnam War. The good times of comradeship and of helping the underprivileged are contrasted with the life-and-death experiences that involved three major battles, countless ambushes, and search and destroy missions. On March 21, 1966, during what former Commandant of the Marine Corps General PX Kelley described as the most intense three hours of the Vietnam War, Randy received a horrific wound. He recounts the nine grueling months of hospitalization and rehabilitation. The final chapter tells of his adjustment to life in a wheelchair and the many people who played a part in his achievements.

This book is the highly personal account of the triumphs, defeats, dirty politics and ultimate success that the author endured and enjoyed during the 13 years that it took him to accomplish the Lunar Prospector Mission. Like the mission, the books purpose is to expose to the America taxpayer the incompetence and self-serving activities of the NASA bureaucracy and the big aerospace companies, which together waste a large fraction of the $13 billion NASA receives from the federal government yearly, and to show that when missions are properly conceived and managed as a commercial venture, the cost of space exploration can be cut by a factor of 10. This book is meant to have a major impact on the future of the faltering American space program by helping to change it into an efficient, commercially based/profit driven program instead of a federal government handout program for the big aerospace companies. This is a 2-Volume Set. Books cannot be purchased separately. Volume One: ISBN 1-4137-0988-5, 673 pages. Volume Two: ISBN 1-4137-2479-5, 668 pages

Memoirs

Rome, AD63. John Mark is recording Peter’s recollections of his time with Jesus, which will become the Gospel of Mark. Peter relives those days, and we see him struggle with who Jesus is and why he follows him. He deals with his inadequacies and his failings, and we see him become the man Jesus knew he could be. Jesus is the Man of Action, not Peter, always on the move, seemingly driven by his mission. We see the human side of Jesus. We see him laugh and we see him get angry. We see him joke. He is a real person. Peter, too, is not the stereotype we think of, but a deeper, more religious person. Various characters emerge. We discover people who are only in the background in the Gospels, but here they take on personalities and traits that sometimes remind us of ourselves.
