True Savage

By Jason Pike

A wonderful new childrens book that Im sure youll agree is a perfect fit for the little children in your life. The childrens book is new and beautifully illustrated. Its available in two formats (softcover and e-book). The story has two levels. The first is for little children with a playful story about life and times of snow leopards. Second is for adults and young adults where a strong rebuke is delivered for fur trade, poaching, mistreatment and loss of habitats for these beautiful cats. This stirring short story told to me by my Mother now placed in print form is inspiring for all ages. The story follows the family of Tabbu(mother) and Ges(father) and their cubs through living in the mountains where man invades their hunting grounds and break the family apart. Ges is killed by hunters. Tabbus story is followed afterwards. Shes taken into captivity which crushes her spirit and will to live. She dies in captivity and is joyously reunited with Ges in the afterlife. Its a feel good story that really makes one stop to think about mans interactions with the wild (particularly Snow Leopards)."

Jason Pike

A decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, Lt. Col. Jason G. Pike, USA, Retired, served 31 years in the United States Army as both an enlisted and officer, including nine years overseas in five countries. Jason earned over 30 service awards & badges and survived a wicked amount of military training. His first book, A Soldier Against All Odds, compiles all his life events in an inspiring storytelling format with the ups and downs of a life in uniform. His diversity of Army jobs, assignments, and schools from age 17 to 48 sets this military memoir up differently than most. Jason's brutal honesty on how he did it while disclosing many sacred secrets about how he survived is unique. With a straightforward account of one man's journey, he inspires audiences nationwide at speaking events and shows how to be resilient and to persevere no matter what disadvantages and life struggles may happen.After having walked through the VA benefits bureaucracy and endless paperwork, Pike has made it his business to master getting the benefits he earned, and he now has a much-needed blueprint to help other veterans do the same. His second book, Out of the Uniform, Back into Civilian Life, is an invaluable resource for veterans seeking clear, actionable guidance to navigate the often complex landscape of VA benefits and assistance programs.

Margeta

Adapted, complied, and edited by her loving and devoted son, Jason Pike

Published in memory of my mother, Georgia M. W. Pike (Margeta) and for my loving, sweet and righteous children that I will always love,

and loving young ones who still live with me:

Caroline-York and Gabriella.

And the older ones who live in my heart; who are now making their own way:

Allyssa, Trey, Aaron.

And to them all, I remind them to always consider wisdom I’ve gained that I desire to pass on to them.

1) Honor and listen to those who love them and

2) Those who have pushed them to be their very best selves in knowledge and strength of character,

3) Especially those who have pushed each child to attain the highest levels of achievement possible… as a way of life.

4) Truth is not always obvious at first - sometimes it requires work and prayerful consideration to reveal and understand that which is masked.
