A Young Woman's Flight from War and Regime-Change Xa Lili was just six years old when full-blown combat erupted in war-weary Vietnam. A century of colonial rule, followed by a bitter struggle for independence, had left the country divided, a focal point in the global conflict between Communist and Free World ideologies. When the US withdrew and Vietnam was reunified under Hanoi, Lili was swept up in an unprecedented swell of humanity fleeing a landscape devastated by war. Her story, spanning the years of her childhood to young adulthood, represents the heritage of more than a million Asian-Americans living in the United States today. This small volume, beautifully illustrated with original watercolor paintings, is based on Lily Blackard's recollections of her journey to America as a Vietnam War refugee.

There are no police officers in international waters. There are no detectives, no paramedics, and no jails. When the nearest port can be over 100 miles away, sailors are on their own should a crime occur. On average, Earth and Mars are 140,000,000 miles apart. As one of seven people on humanity's first mission to the red planet, Flight Surgeon James Lake is a pioneer. But when a crewmate mysteriously disappears from an open airlock just days before landing on Mars, James is suddenly thrust into a crime scene investigation millions of miles away from home - and that's not mentioning the 20-minute communications delay between him and Houston. Trapped in a ship the size of a school bus with five potential killers, James must tread carefully. Death comes swiftly in the vacuum of space.
