What if there was extraterrestrial life in our very own solar systemsharing an orbit with Earth? What if it made contact?

As a marine biologist, Professor Anne Weston dedicated her existence to the study of life on Earth. Yet it could take a mysterious alien being to show her the true meaning of life.

Recently widowed and coping with the loss of her husband, Anne retreats to Bear Point, she and her husbands favored vacation spot in Maines lake region. While there, Anne makes an alarming discovery, one that sets in motion a series of events that will change the lives of her and everyone around her.

In The Secret of Bear Point, H. M. S. Knight shows that theres more to life on Earth than meets the eye. At once poignant, suspenseful and thought provoking, The Secret of Bear Point examines the true nature of human beings and the mystifying interconnectedness of all living things.

Also included in this tome is a collection of short stories by the author. In her stories, Knight addresses many of the trialsboth humorous and tragicof a long and extraordinary life. After adjusting to a newly liberated yet incredibly chaotic existence in pre and postWorld War II Germany (based on her own life experience), Knights protagonists must cope with the aftermath of war, adapt to cultural differences with Americans, learn important life lessons on both sides of the Atlantic, and even find love.

This one's in color
Format: Paperback
This book was glorious. It presented the invasion vividly. The Allied forces sure kicked Rommel's butt, and although the American forces had many casualties, the Germans were defeated. After the Allies liberated France, people revealed hidden Tri-Color French flags. I was interested to learn about the problem of French hedgerows and how an American sargent (Curtis Cullin) improvised a brush-cutter out of the beach barricades in order to leave the tanks less vulnerable as they crossed the fields. Thank you Curtis! The book also talked about a German tank commander named Michael Wittmann and his Tiger tank. This was a powerful weapon that destroyed a group of Shermans very quickly and then took out part of a convoy. The allies finished him off by using British Fireflies (a British type of tank) that sent a disabling shot into the tank. Michael Wittman and his crew escaped. There was good tank action in this book. It feels like you're stuck in the middle of battle, but you're safe. But you're watching in horror. The drawings of the Avro Lancasters were really great. That's my favorite British plane. The air war made the difference in the invasion's success. If it weren't for the RAF and the Allied air forces, the invasion might not have succeeded. I'm eleven years old, and this is a really good book. I learned a lot. This book had really good maps, and it was in color. That helped me a lot. The blood was not too bloody -- just scribbles. Parent note: my son says blood and guts included.

Great read for a WWII enthusiast
Format: Paperback
Purchased for my nephew who is 11 and a WWII aficionado, "Bombing Nazi Germany" and "Normandy" did not disappoint. While I got him the graphic novels because he is a visual kid, he really enjoyed the text. Which is good because there is a lot of text. I am an avid reader of graphic novels and found these books to be more text-driven than much of what I've read. That said, the prose is solid, unadorned, and moves the narrative smoothly from pane to pane. I recommend this for anyone fascinated by war histories who also values detailed illustrations of the same.

I wish my Dad had lived long enough to have this given to him!
Format: Paperback
As I said for Mr. Vansant's Gettysburg graphic novel, this is perhaps the best visual description of all of the planning, logistics, and follow-up battles that gave the Allies their second front, and began the march to Berlin, and the eventual downfall of Hitler's Thousand Year Plan. I have studied War History for as long as I can remember - focusing mostly of the American Civil War, World War 2, and Vietnam; three of the United States' greatest turning points in warfare - but my Dad and I shared a huge interest in WW2, watching as many documentaries on it as we could. What most people do not know about the importance of the war is that it is one of the few times that most of the world was not only involved either directly or indirectly, but also it is one that everyone - and I mean everyone, from the footsoldiers, leaders, and civilians - knew exactly why and what they were fighting for. While it seems odd to refer to events so brutal as noble, that is the best way to describe World War 2, since most of the world was involved in it, and why.

10-year-old grandson loves this book
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my grandson who is very interested in World War II. He has just turned 10. He loves the book. It seems to be the perfect balance between text and pictures. He will learn about the experiences of his great grandparents while learning to read at the same time.

Thought it did a really good job framing the big picture, as well as showing some of the nitty gritty details of the fighting that took place. Even though I thought I already knew a lot about D-Day, I still learned some things along the way. Note: although I do most of my reading on my Kindle Paperwhite, I read this on my iPad Kindle app instead. I don't expect the graphics to come off too well on a non-tablet Kindle so did not even download it there.
