The Rescue

Product Information

Mrs Travers is fascinated by Immada's attractiveness, but the girl and her brother reproach Lingard for recently neglecting them, and leave with him when the interview comes to a fruitless conclusion.

Rescue is an exciting book, full of mystery, intrigue, danger, and betrayal. It's the kind of book my today self thinks is at time preposterous yet I know my 11/12-year-old-self would have hung on every word and every moment of danger. But my today self also knows that codes and ciphers were very popular during WWII, so it isn't surprising that Meg and her dad have their fun with them. Would I let a 12-year-old do what Meg is asked to do? Not a chance, but during the war, kids did this and more. This is the dramatised true account of a rescue mission by the SAS and US Navy SEALS to save four aid workers. This author is an auto read for me, so I don't really pay attention to what the new book is about, just know when it comes out and I request it from the library. So I had no clue what this about going in, but I loved it! I really loved how we got so much of Joe/Felix's life, what he liked, what he didn't, what he knew, what he didn't. All this around several humans who were really going through some things. Book Mug, I Rescue Books Trapped In The Bookstore, Book Lover Gift, Reading Book, Womens Book Gifts, Bookish Gift, BO020WM04I really love Jennifer A Nielsen’s historical fiction novels. This book was good, but not my favorite of hers. The plot stretched the line of believability for me and I could not quite get past it enough to really enjoy the book. A fast-paced and heart-pounding story of Meg, the daughter of an Englishman and Frenchwomen during the Nazi occupation of France. I will say that I was pleased with the ending. Early on, I considered how the author might go about things, and there was only one conclusion that I felt would satisfy me. Fortunately, the author seemed to feel the same way, as that’s the route he took. However, in his final phase, Conrad gave himself over to far more romantic tales, with characters who were far too idealised to exist in real life. While Conrad was not given to writing upbeat stories at the best of times, the later stories were almost doomed to an unhappy ending, because it was simply inconceivable that the romantic characters could do anything conceivably mundane, such as live like any normal married couple.

On board the Emma, Mrs Travers regrets the quarrelsome way she and Lingard parted. Jorgenson meanwhile appears to be making fuses for some sort of explosions. As signs of fighting start up on shore, Mrs Travers wants to join Lingard. The Rescue is the third book in a trilogy-in-reverse. It takes place before An Outcast of the Islands, which in turn took place before Almayer’s Folly, each work acting almost as a prequel to the last. However, the 20-year gestation has perhaps changed some of Conrad’s original concerns. What complicates things further is a situation rare in Conrad’s work: the presence of a love affair. It’s not that this is exactly done poorly, but it seems to me that the model here is Henry James above all else, to the extent that the author has all but abandoned his own style in pursuit of the grand Jamesian manner. And so there is rather a lot of stylised dialogue which is somehow mannered and teasing and tedious all at once; lots of talk and very little action. The whole form will probably seem unrecognisable to those readers who have only previously enjoyed ‘Heart of Darkness’ or ‘Lord Jim’, but I suspect this is best considered as an evolution of an authorial method which was already emerging in books like ‘Chance’ and (the highly underrated) ‘Victory’.In the meantime Bettina Blazak a young reporter for the local Laguna Beach paper ”The Coastal Eddy” is doing research about Street Dogs –they are dogs that don’t have an owner and are dirty, and might be injured. When captured they are treated and placed in a shelter for adoption.

When I first met you, I thought you were a little stubborn, but I was wrong. You are easily the most stubborn person I’ve ever met” (285). Some dogs get a family and, sadly, some get abused for the benefit of their dirtbag owners; and still the dog will love them. In the very unique heartwarming yet tension filled crime drama thriller The Rescue by sharp storyteller T. Jefferson Parker we meet the best "good boy" ever. Joe was born on the streets of Mexico and leads an unconditional life unconditionally loving his humans. Bea was only meant to be visiting Ravenwood when her father took her to his old family home to see her uncle and give her mother a break. But Bea loved the place so much – and her mother did need her rest – so Bea ended up staying. An American reporter rescues a Mexican street dog that was wounded in a gunfight and when the drug dealers, DEA, and various past owners find out from her stories that the dog is alive, they all come after her and the dog.Bettina first saw Joe at an animal shelter in Tijuana, Mexico, when she was doing a story about Mexican street dogs.

As soon as I got far enough along in this book to get to know the lovably loyal drug-sniffing pooch Joe - and the dangerous life he's been leading for most of his life - my first thought was this: please, please don't let anything worse happen to him. Of course, I won't say whether I got my wish or not - that would spoil things for others - but suffice it to say I spent quite a bit of reading time on the edge of my seat.
