Taiwan, an island lying less than 100 miles (165 kilometers) off the east coast of the People’s Republic of China, is first noted in Western records has having been “discovered” by the Portuguese in 1590. They named the tobacco-leaf-shaped island “Ilha Formosa,” or “Beautiful Island.” The name that is more common today is Taiwan, thought to mean “terraced bay,” for the active terrace building that has taken place during the past three centuries on the western flanks of the mountains that slope westward toward the Taiwan Strait.
The opening of Kate Shugak's third outing will have landlubbers wondering, What on earth is this woman doing? (Answer: shifting a crab pot on a boat deck during a storm.) But once readers get their sea legs, they'll realize that Stabenow ( A Cold Day for Murder ) offers a satisfactory blend of mystery and danger that is balanced by a gentler side, a view of Alaskan native culture. Kate, who occasionally investigates for the Anchorage district attorney, is working on the Avilda , a crabber, hoping to learn--on the quiet--why two of its crew members disappeared during its last trip. ..

AUDIOBOOK: Hell Island
Four groups of special forces are being parachuted into Hell Island with no idea who or what will they be fighting once they get there. Can the best of the US armed forces defeat their unknown enemy? Definitely one for the boys, it's action-packed.
It is an island that doesn't appear on any maps. A place where secret tests have been going on. Tests that have gone terribly wrong...
When all contact with the island is suddenly lost, four crack special-forces units are dropped in. Their mission: to land on Hell Island and discover what has happened.
Nothing can prepare them for what they find there. You could say they've just entered hell. Only that would be wrong.
This is much, much worse.
