Book excerpt: She thought she left her darkest nightmare worlds away in the Australian outback. Now, terror will push her to the edge.... Shut down by the grief of losing the man she loved, Tally Nowata has come home to pursue the search-and-rescue work that is her passion. When a crank phone call leads Tally and a friend to the top of a treacherous peak, it is the start of a violent game that will force Tally not only to the heights of danger in Wyoming's Grand Tetons, but to the brink of sanity in a race to the death. A lethal predator is closing in on Tally. He's dead set on revenge -- and he's targeted the one thing Tally can't survive without: her child. Hannah Nyala, the real-life tracker who introduced Tally Nowata in the electrifying novel Leave No Trace, brilliantly defines a woman's determination to embrace life after her spirit is shattered -- and crafts a nail-biting chase across a hazardous landscape, where no one can rescue the rescuer.

Book excerpt: Death is a dagger Concealed in a cloak. Viewed through a mirror Obscured by smoke Megomike So begins the story of Mira. For most, the war is over, but for one girl, it has just begun. Set just after World War II, AND MIRA starts out in the gentle surroundings of a nursery school in Midwestern United States. Not yet two years old, Miras dreams are filled with the image of a deformed, emaciated child she does not quite remember. When one of the children at her school succumbs to pneumonia, she cannot help but feel that it is not one of the typical deaths common to children in her day but rather somehow connected to the chalky child of her dreams. AND MIRA is a traditional-style ghost story set against the backdrop of American pop culture from the 1940s to the present day. Unique to this story, AND MIRA follows the haunting of the protagonist and her loved ones from the beginning of her life to the very end. As she grows, so matures the ghost that haunts her dreams and memories, and his appetite for the deaths of those she cares for evolves as well. Mira must make her way through a world that does not believe in ghosts to determine the identity of this tortured phantom that threatens everyone she holds dear before it destroys them all!

Download or read book Boy on the Bridge written by Andrew Marble and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This isn’t just a must-read for military buffs—it’s a source of inspiration for every American and anyone who aspires to be one.” —John Kerry, former US Secretary of State Born in Poland, John Shalikashvili (1936-2011) emigrated to the United States in 1952 and was drafted into the army as a private in 1958. He rose steadily through the ranks, serving in every level of unit command from platoon to division. In 1993, Shalikashvili was tapped by President Bill Clinton to replace General Colin Powell as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, becoming the first immigrant, first draftee, and first Officer Candidate School graduate to hold the position. This first-ever biography of Shalikashvili’s riches-to-rags-and-back-to-riches story reveals how his distinctive background helped him become one of the United States’s greatest military leaders. He exhibited a unique and unconventional leadership style—employing expertise, humility, straightforwardness, and empathy—that he adroitly used to resolve or prevent destructive conflict. His distinctive leadership style greatly benefited the United States, Europe, and beyond: as when he led the rescue of 500,000 Kurdish refugees in the first Gulf War’s aftermath; when he represented Joint Chiefs chairman Colin Powell in helping secure loose nukes in the former Soviet republics; as he joined forces with fellow immigrant Madeleine Albright on the Partnership for Peace initiative and NATO enlargement program in the 1990s; and in retirement, when he helped end the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, thereby finally allowing gay servicemembers to serve openly without fear of dishonorable discharge. “An engaging story of a remarkable man whose life story would be fascinating even without regard to his military career.” —Foot Notes Blog

With her best friend missing and her family scattered to the four winds, Angela has to make a new life for herself in a strange city, alone and with little more than the clothes on her back. Alone, that is, until she meets Danny Armstrong, a single father to a beautiful little girl, and a man who lives a lifestyle she can’t fully understand. He is everything Angela could want, but with all the turmoil in her life, Angela doesn't know if she can commit to a relationship. Before she can move on, Angela must come to terms with all she has lost, deal with a secret her mother and father has kept hidden for more than two decades, and learn to trust both herself and the man she loves. Finding it difficult to cope with all she’s lost, Angela struggles to find her place to fit into a city that is nothing compared to where she’s from. With an everyday struggle to maintain her sanity in the midst of her own sorrow, Angela insists on surviving. Although alone, she’s determined to make the best out of the tragic situation by meeting some new friends along the way, who inspires her to never give up looking. Torn between her emotions, Angela starts to face the dreadful realism that has impaired her for months, as she revisits the tragic scene on that awful night in July in search of the truth. Seeking to discover the truth behind the secret her parents kept for so long, Angela confronts the one person she never thought she’d ever see alive again during her visit for answers.
Download or read book Columbine written by Dave Cullen and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years in the works, a masterpiece of reportage, this is the definitive account of the Columbine massacre, its aftermath, and its significance, from the acclaimed journalist who followed the story from the outset. "The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror . . ." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders." It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong. It wasn't about jocks, Goths, or the Trench Coat Mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on scene, and spent ten years on this book-widely recognized as the definitive account. With a keen investigative eye and psychological acumen, he draws on mountains of evidence, insight from the world's leading forensic psychologists, and the killers' own words and drawings-several reproduced in a new appendix. Cullen paints raw portraits of two polar opposite killers. They contrast starkly with the flashes of resilience and redemption among the survivors. Expanded with a New Epilogue
