Download or read book Alex Faraway written by G. F. Brynn and published by Deep Sky Stories. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only a week after a fierce battle in the abandoned scrapyard against the wicked horde of large insect-bots known as The Others, culminating in their destruction when the huge Mars Biosphere spaceship blasted its way out of the scrapyard, Alex Faraway waits impatiently for his long-missing father's promised return from that planet. But Dart, Alex's large, robotic Guardian Dragonfly, is unsure if the sinister creatures from his own past are gone for good. The robot flies regular patrols over the 100 acre scrapyard until one morning he abruptly disappears. Alex goes in search of his adventurous friend, unaware that the plot to invade Mars and destroy the last remaining Martians before they awaken from their hibernation Time Tombs is far from finished. The battle from the previous week has only added weight to the might of The Others and has triggered the arrival in the scrapyard of an ever more powerful robot - one with brutish motivation to complete the creation of a deadly machine from ten thousand years ago. And now, not only is Mars in their sites, but Earth is as well. Something new, powerful, and frightening is also happening to Alex Faraway with each passing day and each time he uses the strange Martian-made device called a Luss. His nightly dreams of an ancient people long forgotten are growing more physical in nature as the Glass Tunnels blur the immutable barrier between past and present, dreams and reality. The Ghosts and the Nethlins are coming. And all the while, the unknown rogue world, the shadowy Planet X, draws ever nearer to its ten-thousand-year close-encounter with Mars. What mysteries from the distant past does that strange glittering world hold?

Download or read book Alex and the Hobo written by José Inez Taylor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a ten-year-old boy befriends a mysterious hobo in his southern Colorado hometown in the early 1940s, he learns about evil in his community and takes his first steps toward manhood by attempting to protect his new friend from corrupt officials. Though a fictional story, Alex and the Hobo is written out of the life experiences of its author, José Inez (Joe) Taylor, and it realistically portrays a boy's coming-of-age as a Spanish-speaking man who must carve out an honorable place for himself in a class-stratified and Anglo-dominated society. In this innovative ethnography, anthropologist James Taggart collaborates with Joe Taylor to explore how Alex and the Hobo sprang from Taylor's life experiences and how it presents an insider's view of Mexicano culture and its constructions of manhood. They frame the story (included in its entirety) with chapters that discuss how it encapsulates notions that Taylor learned from the Chicano movement, the farmworkers' union, his community, his father, his mother, and his religion. Taggart gives the ethnography a solid theoretical underpinning by discussing how the story and Taylor's account of how he created it represent an act of resistance to the class system that Taylor perceives as destroying his native culture.

Download or read book Half Mortal written by Heidi Garrett and published by Half-Faerie Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In this second installment ... Dynamic characters choose sides on the battlefield and in their hearts, aptly setting the stage for the next book” — Kirkus Reviews Energies in the enchanted world are shifting and new alliances are forming; the battle between Dark and Light has begun. Melia is desperate to make things right with Ryder, the young priest from Idonne, but first she must warn the half-bloods in the mortal world that Umbra is coming for them--and face the powerful dragonwitch and her spectacular Dragon Carnivale. The stakes are raised when Melia grasps just how far she will have to go in order to save the people and world she loves. Whimsical and edgy, Daughter of Light is a high fantasy with an intriguing cosmology and well-developed characters for readers of all ages. Praise for the Daughter of Light fantasy trilogy: Isolt’s Enchantment, the beginnings (Prequel Novella) I loved the beauty of the world when Vulcan first meets Una, and I especially enjoyed the explanation of Umbra. Isolt’s vengeance was absolutely delicious, and I could recommend this book based solely on that scene. — Erica at Fantasy Book Lane Half Faerie, Book 1 I found myself sharing emotions with several characters and my husband would walk by just shaking his head, he doesn’t understand books and what they can do. I highly recommend this book. I want to thank Heidi Garrett for making my otherwise boring life so exciting with her books, I am loving it, every single minute! Five stars for Half Faerie. — KJ at Kj Reads A Lot Half Mortal, Book 2 The pace picks up quite a bit as the stakes are raised in Half Mortal, the second book in this epic coming of age fantasy trilogy. I can totally understand why the comparison to LoTR has been drawn, as Melia and her cohorts battle numerous foes as they attempt to make things right- in both realms. — Mama Reads, Hazel Reads War & Grace, Book 3 There are multiple skirmishes and face-offs and each one was delicious in its own right. Anton, Umbra, Lilliane…even Melia has some internal conflict to deal with before anything can be concluded. Each one is given their own turn, and. It. Is. Magnificent. I have been very dramatically disappointed with series ends before ... and I was so happy that the Daughters of Light series was not one. By far my favorite book in the series... —Brenda Ayala

It's amazing how real Carpenter makes this world and all the people in it. – Sharon Brigham Spratt Animalians I really love how quickly you fall head over heels for the Animalian Hall. – Yorkiemom The Animalians series is easily one of the most enjoyable reads I have had in the past year. Filled with a relatable heroine, strong character building and equal doses of magic and action, the series starts strong and only gets better. – amazon customer This is an excellent series. Fun and amazing characters with each a great separate plot. – Zippy Inger This is one of the most amazing, spellbound series I have read in a long time. Loads of action, adventure, suspense and supernatural creatures. A must read series!- Liza van der Pluym Gamemakers- Fast paced and spot on descriptions will keep you turning pages well into the night. If you adore Jordan and Martin, Thomas Carpenter and his Hundred Halls series are MUST READS as sci-fantasy of today! – Lynda C. If you want lots of interesting action and characters, this book has it. – J Krug LitRPG has become very formulaic as a genre. The warped Forest steps beyond those norms and explores character development and world exploration/design in excellent ways. – Scott Reimers Stone singers I have treasured each and every one of the Hundred Halls stories. Tom Carpenter has a unique style of writing which is always brilliantly researched, detailed for easy visualization and reads like you have a master storyteller in your head. – Lynda C It’s a well written, enthralling read that grabs you from the get go. The world building is incredible, the storyline, action packed and fast paced and the characters intriguing. Thrust into a world of soul swapping, magic, music, secrets and so much more, this had me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down. – Debbie Like all the other hundred hall series this one does not disappoint. Very unique scenarios and most unsuspecting plots. Fall in love with Minerva and follow her on her path of survival. – Liza van der Pluym KEYWORDS: contemporary fantasy, coming of age, fae, complete series, bestselling, urban fantasy, action adventure, academy, new adult, university, dark fantasy, family, young adult, YA fantasy, wizard, mage, witch, dragon, supernatural, supernatural suspense, fantasy series, fantasy series for adults, paranormal mystery, magical worlds, modern fantasy, occult, paranormal, enemies to friends, legend, folk tale, elite, dark magic, thrilling, college, hero, power, privilege, hundred halls, thomas k. carpenter, forbidden magic, strong female lead, orphans, alternate worlds, class differences, badass women, binge read, loners and outcasts, found family, enemies to lovers, sword, spellbinding, magical heist, sprawling series, assassins, spies, diplomacy, rune spells, demonology, shape changing, soul magic, arcane, divination, harry potter, magicians, hundred halls, multi-series, epic adventure, animal companion, fantastic families, magical academies Similar Authors: Christopher Nuttal, L.

Download or read book Connecting the West written by Shawn Hall and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shawn Hall's immensely popular guidebooks to Nevada ghost towns have become essential resources for backcountry explorers and scholars alike. Now Hall returns to Elko County to survey the county's railroad and stage stations, as well as other sites not included in his earlier survey of this colorful section of the state. As in his earlier volumes, Hall includes a history of each site he lists, along with period and contemporary photographs, directions for locating the sites, and an assessment of their present condition. His historical accounts, based on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, are both scholarly and engaging, rich in anecdotes and personalities, and in the fascinating minutia of history often ignored by more academic writers. Shawn Hall's dedication to documenting Nevada's thousands of historic sites has enriched our knowledge of the state's relatively brief but very eventful past. Connecting the West is a worthy addition to Hall's remarkable efforts to preserve the state's history.
