Book excerpt: "How would you like to bowl a really fast ball, dead on middle stump? And I mean hurricane fast!" "Yeah!" "Right, come with me!" Tyrone lives and breathes cricket, and he practises all the time, but he's not quite good enough to be picked for the school team - and nowhere near as good as his best friend, Cristiano. That is, until the day he meets Nick, the mysterious stranger who appears at the nets. Suddenly, as if by magic, Tyrone is not only the fastest bowler in the school, but he's picked for the County, too. All he has to do is follow Nick's instructions - 18 paces exactly, and say, "Here's one for old Nick!" - and he can bowl a deadly, unbeatable ball. But there's a price to pay for Tyrone's new-found talent. It starts with just pocket money, but the demands get greater as the stakes get higher. Tyrone finds himself lying to his best friend and his mum, and being less than truthful with himself. On the day of the big county final, when Tyrone is up to bowl against Cristiano, Nick's advice is not only dishonest but dangerous - and the price this time is to steal GBP200 from his mum. Can Tyrone say no to Nick or will this sinister visitor now have Tyrone under his power for ever?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Penn Cage series comes an electrifying thriller that reveals a world of depravity, sex, violence, and the corruption of a Southern town. As a prosecuting attorney in Houston, Penn Cage sent hardened killers to death row. But it is as mayor of his hometown—Natchez, Mississippi—that Penn will face his most dangerous threat. Urged by old friends to try to restore this fading jewel of the Old South, Penn has ridden into office on a tide of support for change. But in its quest for new jobs and fresh money, Natchez, like other Mississippi towns, has turned to casino gambling, and now five fantastical steamboats float on the river beside the old slave market at Natchez like props from Gone With the Wind. But one boat isn't like the others. Rumor has it that the Magnolia Queen has found a way to pull the big players from Las Vegas to its Mississippi backwater. And with them—on sleek private jets that slip in and out of town like whispers in the night—come pro football players, rap stars, and international gamblers, all sharing an unquenchable taste for one thing: blood sport—and the dark vices that go with it. When a childhood friend of Penn's who brings him evidence of these crimes is brutally murdered, the full weight of Penn's failure to protect his city hits home. So begins his quest to find the men responsible. But it's a hunt he begins alone, for the local authorities have been corrupted by the money and power of his hidden enemy. With his family's lives at stake, Penn realizes his only allies in his one-man war are those bound to him by blood or honor: -Caitlin Masters, the lover Penn found in The Quiet Can Game and lost in Turning Angel -Danny McDavitt, the heroic helicopter pilot from Third Degree -Tom Cage, Penn's father and legendary local family physician -Walt Garrity, a retired Texas Ranger who served with Penn's father during the Korean War Together they must defeat a sophisticated killer who has an almost preternatural ability to anticipate—and counter—their every move. Ultimately, victory will depend on a bold stroke that will leave one of Penn's allies dead—and Natchez changed forever. After appearing in two of Iles's most popular novels, Penn Cage makes his triumphant return as a brilliant, honorable, and courageous hero. Rich with Southern atmosphere and marked by one jaw-dropping plot turn after another, The Devil's Punchbowl confirms that Greg Iles is America's master of suspense.

There, Lex faced the truth: he was losing the fight for his life. And still awaiting him was his most brutal opponent yet, when the wrestling champ found himself helplessly paralyzed from the neck down.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Marlock had been shearing all the morning, with long slashing cuts before which the fleece fell, fold upon fold. He was the "ringer" of the shed, and his reputation was at stake, for Norman Campbell was running him close. To-day was Saturday, and it was known from the tally that Bill was only one sheep ahead, and that Norman was making every effort to finish the week "one better" than the record shearer of Yantala woolshed. The two men were working side by side, and eyeing each other from time to time with furtive glances. Norman suddenly straightened himself, and, quick as a frightened snake, thrust his long body across the "board," with the sheep he had shorn in his sinewy hands, and shot it into the tally pen among the white, shivering sheep. Then he dashed into the catching pen, and seized the smaller of two sheep that remained. At almost the same moment Bill had his hands upon the same sheep, but took them off when he saw the other man was before him, and was obliged to content himself, much to his chagrin, with the "cobbler," a grizzled, wiry-haired old patriarch that every one had shunned.

Download or read book Brainwashing Devil s Game written by Giovanni Rocca and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brainwashing: Devil's Game: this novel is from the author's knowledge of life and death, truth and lies, good and evil, rich and poor, health and sickness, user and abuser, give and take, worshipping right or wrong, religions, cult's government, organizations, people misleading people. The devil is a force that man does not understand and has no idea how he works; he is a magician, a puppeteer, and most of all, a deceiver to man and God, the foe of Christ, battling God/Jesus for His kingdom. This book uncovers the lies of man to man by Satan, from many visions, from the vision of prophets given to man from the word of God in Jesus, and visions from Giovanni's dreams. For some people, this book is fiction, no truth; the message is scribed from biblical events, for those who believe in the Christ, the people of God will be celebrating, for the other is a nightmare with and terrorizing end for mankind. The search and study have been tiring and a fight with the devil day and night with results of exhaustion by rereading the Bible, reading and extracting information from the Torah and the Quran. For all people, read and study the Bible to understand this novel, for the will of man is service for Satan. Man needs to be alert and strong in the faith... "I am coming soon." Crist claimed this truth to mankind...

Then he[Pg 4] dashed into the catching pen, and seized the smaller of two sheep that remained. At almost the same moment Bill had his hands upon the same sheep, but took them off when he saw the other man was before him, and was obliged to content himself, much to his chagrin, with the "cobbler," a grizzled, wiry-haired old patriarch that every one had shunned. When Bill carried out this sheep there was a loud roar from all the shearers who caught from that pen, followed by derisive laughter. "Who shaved the cobbler?" was shouted from one end of the shed to the other. When almost every man had slashed and stabbed Bill with these cutting words, a whisper ran round the "board" that Norman had beaten Bill in his tally, and that the beaten man was groaning over his defeat and climbing down from the position of the fastest shearer in the shed.
