Not that I personally care, but I think that's copyright infringement or something? Maybe not because you aren't profiting from it; I've seen a lot of books available freely online.

CHAPTER ONE
----------------

It was all noise and chaos in the harbor. To the sailors on the rusted shrimp boats, it looked like the start if another revolution. They lay anchor for three days running, unable to maneuver in the crowded waters. Two days' catch rotted on the docks, ravaged by the shrieking seagulls, because the fish carts couldn't get through the mass of officials and huddling families. Yet none of the fishermen dared complain, for this was a government operation. They prowled the decks and drank rum in the waterfront bars, waiting. Normal life would start up again. It always did. People had to have fish no matter who was in power. All across Mariel Harbor, the sleek American fleet nuzzled among the tugs and scows. These were all private craft, customizes yachts and blue hulled sailboats, gaudy with teak and chrome, manned by overfed weekend captains dressed in polyester whites. The customs officials veered among them in soviet-made gunboats, barking orders and assigning numbers, but it was no use. The Americans pushed and clamored. fistfuls of bribe money lobbed through the air. the rich men's boats plowed through and hugged the docks. They were used to being served first. The Cuban officials could not keep order. They had no army to back them up, because Castro didnt want a military profile. the exiles themselves were no problem. they stayed with their families and their meager luggage, glazed from the long wait into the hot spring sun.
---------------------------------------------
chapter 1 to be continued tomorrow.

nah i dont think its copyright infringement because its a public post considerin the book is OOP not many people can find copies so its one of the only ways for anyone to read it. if JG has a problem with it being on here all he has to do is tell me and i'll just send the story to angie instead of publicly showin it for everyone

Angiez23,

I just looked over at Amazon.com book site and there are several copies available for sale starting at .95 each! You know I had the book, read it, lent it to someone ( don't remember who ) and never had it returned. Pretty decent book, worth a read. Again check out Amazon.com and you will find several copes available for purchase.
