Download or read book The Infinity Concerto written by Greg Bear and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music, myth, and magic mix in this tale of a melody not meant for human ears, from the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author of Darwin’s Radio. Michael Perrin is an aspiring poet, struggling to express the chaotic cadences of his thoughts on paper. He finds a kindred spirit in Arno Waltiri, the film score composer behind several of Michael’s favorite classic movies. The maestro’s greatest piece, however, was performed in front of a live audience only once. The concerto Opus 45, Infinity left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls. Waltiri’s composition is a song of power. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a siren’s call, its notes ring out like a death knell, and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality. The music’s otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic—and where Michael must find his muse if he’s ever to return home. The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of the Forerunner Saga, Eon, and other imaginative classics.

Download or read book Judge Rath written by Michael Davidson and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judge Rath is the fourth book in the Jon Sadler Mystery series. I thought after I’d written Darth and the Puppeteers, I was finished with Mr. Sadler. But I missed him and eventually came up with an idea of how I could get him in trouble again. If you’ve read my three previous novels with Jon Sadler as protagonist, you will know that I lean slightly toward the psychic and metaphysical. In Judge Rath I have created a mystery in which, Jon, as Judge Rath, and some of my favorite characters in the first three novels, find themselves in their past lives caught up in a wild-west whodunit set in the year 1864. The scene is the City of San Fernando, California, in the San Fernando Valley. Jon has been sent into the past by, Aaron, an Avatar affiliated with our old friend, Darth. For reasons explained in the book, Jon was in need of discovering an element in his nature that had been passive in his life as a psychiatrist. Judge Rath has a proclivity to shoot first, and shoot again, and finds himself mired in what appears to be the random killings of saloon whores. Out of frustration, Jon telegraphs the Pinkerton Detective Agency in Chicago. Alan Pinkerton sends out his ace female detective, Kate Wayne, the first female detective in the country. Together, and with the support of President Abraham Lincoln, they undertake to solve what history will refer to as: The Case of the Cannabis Cannibals.

Book excerpt: A lifelong rivalry between opera singer Renata Radleigh and her younger brother Don takes an unexpected turn when Don is accused of murder. He is Saint Louis Opera's star fundraiser after procuring a last-minute underwriter for its avant-garde production of Carmen. Don is accused of seducing his donor to get the contribution, then killing her after her husband finds out. His alleged victim, Dr. Helen Stromberg-Brand, had invented a vaccine that was expected to earn billions and win her a Nobel. The scandal shocks Saint Louis and pushes the opera company to the brink. No one cares about defending Don. Only Renata believes he is innocent. Her attempts to clear him lead to warnings of dismissal, threats of arrest, and a brutal assault. She finds an unexpected ally in Peter Lombardo, a former journalist who does PR at the medical center where Helen had made loyal friends and bitter enemies. Peter believes that the trail leading to Helen's killer begins with the vaccine, not the opera donation. Together they discover that the search for the next wonder drug can inspire greed and vengefulness beyond any opera plot. As their feelings for each other deepen and more corpses turn up, an onstage mishap elevates Renata to the role of Carmen. But the greatest moment of her career may be the last moment of her life.
