  Death Need Not Be Fatal (Audio CD)

  $35.00

  Before he runs out of time, Irish bon vivant MALACHY MCCOURT shares his views on death – sometimes hilarious and often poignant – and on what will or won’t happen after his last breath is drawn.

  In his book, DEATH NEED NOT BE FATAL, McCourt explores the role death has played and continues to play in his life and in the world. From the dead babies and starving children in the Limerick of his childhood, to Angela’s famous ashes, to the deaths of McCourt’s brothers Frank and Mike – and McCourt’s own impending demise – the Grim Reaper has been a constant companion and reminder of what is important, and what’s not.

  McCourt writes that, as he draws closer to death, his perception of death has become crystal clear. When it occurs, he does not plan to pass away, pass on, or cross over. He’s not going to make the supreme sacrifice or come to an untidy end; he is not going to be laid to rest, meet his maker, or go to his eternal reward. He is not going to breath his last, bite the dust, kick the bucket, or buy the farm; he’s not going to turn up his toes, join the silent majority, become a landowner, take a dirt nap, push up daisies, play a harp, take a taxi, give up his ghost, feed the worms, enter the sweet hereafter, or shuffle off the mortal coil.

  He plans to die.

  Dog Company (Unabridged) (Audio CD)

  $35.00

  The true story of Dog Company commander Capt. Roger Hill, who defended the lives of his men in combat and then was forced to defend himself against the same military he served. Dog Company was assigned to a “peaceful” outpost in Wardak, Afghanistan, when a spike in insurgency attacks meant that they were quickly outmanned. Things took a more dire turn when 12 Afghani contractors working in the base are discovered as being Al Qaeda spies. Suddenly, Capt. Hill is faced with a terrible choice: act outside the bounds of military law to save his men, or risk the lives of every man in Dog Company to save his career? Using nonviolent means, Capt. Hill gains confessions, but is charged with war crimes in violation of the Geneva Convention. When the fight moves to the courtroom, Capt. Hill must defend himself against the military he pledged his life to serve.
