Download or read book Dragon Don of New York written by Jonathan Saville and published by eStar Books. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father with a secret, a daughter with a plan, and one ordinary guy in the middle of it. Excerpt: Then his world exploded into action. The van's side doors flew open and two men armed with shotguns spilled out onto the sidewalk. Two more immediately followed and began running at Thomas. If he hadn't just been thinking of Vicki's challenges on her previous visit Thomas likely would have reacted much differently, but, as it was, he immediately went into adrenalin overload.He grabbed the gun of the lead runner and gave him a hip check that former Maple Leaf's defenseman Tim Horton would have admired. Then, never having fired a shotgun in his life, he managed to pump a round into the fallen man's chest, and swiveling to face to second runner, he pretty much blew his head off. The two gun men that had stayed by the van recovered from their initial shock and fired at Thomas. Ducking behind the pillar, Thomas watched shards of granite fly off his cover. He swung the gun around the other side and fired twice towards the van. Quiet. Thomas peeked out from behind the column and was shocked to see both the other assailants down on the sidewalk. The revving of the van's engine brought him sharply back to the problem at hand. He pointed (not really aimed) the gun at where he thought the gas tank would be and pumped two rounds in that general direction. His reward was a tremendous explosion and a showering of flaming van parts. Thomas all of a sudden felt exposed out on the sidewalk. He turned to head back down under the perceived safety of the covered portico and he saw her. She was tall, dark haired, a European looking beauty. She was standing by a table several back from the rail with a hand held to her mouth. Thomas didn't know how he knew, but at that moment he understood that this stunning woman was the real target of the attack. As he headed into the tunnel that led into the hotel, he saw her gather her things and enter the restaurant.

Download or read book The Dragon and the Rainbow written by Robert Blust and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernization and conversion to world religions are threatening the survival of traditional belief systems, leaving behind only mysterious traces of their existence. This book, based upon extensive research conducted over a period of nearly four decades, brings scientific rigor to one of the questions that have always attracted human curiosity: that of the origin of the dragon. The author demonstrates that both dragons and rainbows are cultural universals, that many of the traits that are attributed to dragons in widely separated parts of the planet are also attributed to rainbows, and that the number and antiquity of such shared traits cannot be attributed to chance or common inheritance, but rather to common cognitive pathways by which human psychology has responded to the natural environment in a wide array of cultures around the world.

Download or read book No More Dragons written by Jim Burgen and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process. You make a long chain of bad choices. The chain gradually wraps around you. Layer by layer, it begins to take on the aspect of scales. One day you glance at yourself in the mirror and a monster is staring back at you. You aren't who you used to be. You aren't who you want to be. You're not who you were created and designed to be. Instead, you're a dragon. When Jim Burgen was nineteen years old, he realized how easy it had been to become a dragon. He knew he didn't want to be one anymore . . . but how? No More Dragons is the story of our common, hopeful journey from dragonhood back to personhood. As Pastor Burgen narrates the remarkable process of reclaiming himself from himself, he implores modern church goers to shake off the trivialities of churchiness in favor of the substantive questions that make a spiritual transformation: “Is Jesus the only one who can undragon people?” “Why don't I like most churches?” “Where is God in difficult times?” “How do you shed decades of gnarly scales?” Some choices will lead you to a better life. Some will kill you. Some choices will add a new layer of scales to your dragon, and some will slough them off. No More Dragons is about asking Christ to deliver you and learning how to obey him.

Download or read book Big Dragons Don t Cry written by C. M. Barrett and published by C. M. Barrett. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morale in the country of Oasis has never been worse. The Earthers, a tree-hugging sect, fall on their knees at the name of the Earth Mother and beg forgiveness for their crimes against twigs and weeds. The Godlies preach penitence, suffering, and stifling self-righteousness and inspire their followers into submission with terrifying images of an afterlife spent being chased by a fire-breathing dragon.Most Oasans are more concerned about this life. They all fear the dragon in the swamp at the country's edge, but they don't know that he fears them, too. Druid, whose greatest talent is for putting out fires, steams up when he learns that a cunning opportunist intends to exploit dragonphobia and call for a communal dragon hunt so that he can level the swamp for suburban housing.Tara, a kitten with charisma, becomes Druid's ally. She'll need all her charm to enchant Serazina. This young human woman hides her ability to read emotions in order to avoid a stay in the Ward for the Chronically Crazy. Serazina gets into greater trouble when Phileas, Guardian of the troubled land, discovers that she can read minds, too, and targets her to be the mother of the heir he so badly needs.Phileas has more immediate problems. The would-be real estate mogul is spreading rumors that the Guardian is soft on dragons. His follow-up plan involves assassination. Dead dragons, dead Guardians: It's all one to a megalomaniac who dreams of domination.Somehow these four must overcome communication difficulties, mutual mistrust, and delusions of human superiority to save the country. Otherwise, even though Druid doesn't breathe fire, Oasis will be toast.From the Book:Orion stood on a ridge overlooking the city. As he swayed, exhausted and hungry, the threads of its winding, dirty streets seemed to tighten around his neck in a noose that limited both breath and freedom.His sister, Sekhmet, nuzzled him with her black nose. Lost in thought?Wishing you’d waited a year or so to haul me away from the good life.We thought we’d better get on the road before you wore out your equipment, Mr. Tomcat Stud.Orion’s other sister, Bast, trotted toward them, her white fur gleaming in starlight. We’ve come to the right place. The pull is strong.Praise the Many-Taloned One, Sekhmet said. My paws are killing me.The lights of the city flickered in eye-burning imitation of the starry sky. It’s not going to be easy, Orion said. The smell alone makes me gag. It’s not just the physical stench, but also the foul odor of self-righteousness and fear. And some of the fear is mine. I’ve never failed before.Big Dragons Don't Cry highlights the separation between humans and the rest of life that allows ecological disasters to unfold.I used the medium of fantasy to imagine new possibilities:What would the world be like if humans and animals understood and respected each other?What could humans learn if we no longer saw ourselves as apart from nature but entered wholeheartedly into the dance of life? We might trip over our feet at first, but practice makes improvement.
