Book excerpt: "In Dreamer's Island Gretchen Hummel has created a rich, complex world that's both beautiful and scary. Reading it, I found myself caught up in a lively and humorous community of artists, craftspeople, and dreamers-who are all too aware of the dangers that menace them from outside. I couldn't put it down." --Alison Baker, winner of three O. Henry Awards and author of Loving Wanda Beaver In a post-plague, baby-hungry world Blair searches for her kidnapped daughter. She works as a tour guide on what mainlanders call Devil's Island-all that's left of a future San Francisco. The island is infamous for its high rate of plague survivors, its lively, thriving arts community, and its suspect spirituality. Islanders are fascinated by mysterious "plague-gifts" - knowledge and skills acquired by surviving the plague and are covertly experimenting with the virus. Mainlanders abhor the mere mention of anything plague-related. The island is quarantined, yet mainlanders Dr. Lourdes and his daughters insist on a visit. Their stated agenda is to shop the arts district and to adopt a child. But Dr. Lourdes's curiosity about rumored plague virus experiments has Blair worried about the true purpose of their visit. When the doctor's youngest daughter contracts the plague, Blair must call on all her plague-gifts to help her survive. The girl's fight for her life and Blair's search for her own daughter dovetail in a startling conclusion that is beyond Blair's wildest dreams.

Download or read book A Dreamer s Tale written by Lord Dunsany and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Dreamer’s Tales (1910) is a short story collection by Lord Dunsany. Published at the height of his career, A Dreamer’s Tales would influence such writers as J. R. R. Tolkein, Ursula K. Le Guin, and H. P. Lovecraft. Recognized as a pioneering author of fantasy and science fiction, Dunsany is a man whose work, in the words of Lovecraft, remains “unexcelled in the sorcery of crystalline singing prose, and supreme in the creation of a gorgeous and languorous world of incandescently exotic vision.” “Like a great wall is the mountain to the west. It comes up out of the distance and goes down into the distance again, and it is named Poltarnees, Beholder of Ocean.” A Dreamer’s Tales, Dunsany’s fourth collection of stories, contains some of his finest tales of fantasy and adventure. The distant mountain of Poltarnees has long been a place of wonder for mankind. The stories of old tell of many a traveler who set out to see what lay beyond its insurmountable peak. In these same stories, no one has ever returned. Promised the hand of the Princess of Arizim, one man hopes that love will give him the power not only to reach the mountaintop, but to return alive. In “Idle Days on the Yann,” a story praised by Yeats and Lovecraft alike, a man sails down the River Yann in order to reach its fabled gate. Along the way, he observes cities of unspeakable strangeness and beauty. Dunsany’s tales of high fantasy continue to delight over a century after they first appeared in print. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lord Dunsany’s A Dreamer’s Tales is a classic of Irish fantasy fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: Is the Dreamer good or evil? As war looms between Britain and Argentina over the barren Falkland Islands, Major David Elliott is having nightmares. Long ago, in a dark jungle near Cambodia, he failed to do his duty. That duty was to execute a member of his team. David s weakness eventually led to his team s capture. Tortured by the Viet Cong, they revealed the dark secrets of the CIA s Phoenix program. Forced to leave the service in disgrace, his men now live in the darkness . What do the dreams mean for them? David s wife, Sonia, sees them as harbingers of evil things to come. A revolutionary in Argentina before the war, she escaped to America and became a citizen. Now, Captain Alvarez, head of the Argentine Secret Police, wants her back. He devises a plan that lures her into returning to Argentina where she is imprisoned on Los Estados Island. Meanwhile, a mystical creature has summoned David and his former team to gather once more to honor the covenant, a pact they made with each other when they believed their lives were coming to an end. Together, with an errant priest, Father Perez, they reluctantly agree to assault Los Estados and free Sonia. As they travel across Mexico, Central and South America, they encounter the CIA, Contras in Nicaragua, the M-19 narco terrorist group and the United States Navy; while all along being shadowed by the mystical entity. Is the entity God or Satan? Will submitting to the will of the entity allow David and his men to stand in the light of men once again? Is the Dreamer good or evil? You decide. "Dreamer" is a tale of redemption, honor, courage, belief in God and betrayal!

Download or read book Caribe Dreamer written by Donald Knoepfle and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailing is not just transportation as it was in the past. It can be a slow-paced adventure, or a physically demanding, pressure-packed sport like America's Cup racing. Some sailors dream of sailing off around the world like Slocum in the late 1800's on "Spray", or Jack London in 1907 on "Snark". They were the dreamers who actually made it happen. New sailing dreamers are still spawned every day, awaiting the opportunity to push off and "pull it off''! Scott Lindsay is a modern day dreamer, and through struggles and determination, made his dream came true. Scott makes his living, as a charter captain of Caribe Dreamer a 40' Sloop rigged catamaran, in the Bahamas. He is innocently thrown into the crosshairs of evil and death. Like the author, Scott's military training was in the Army, but his ambition is to go to sea. A combination of sailing and military experience places him and his wife at dangerous crossroads, where terrorism threatens the tranquility of the Abacos. This tale of romance, foreign intrigue and espionage, combined with the beauty and innocence of the Bahama out-islands and people, is the perfect foil for an international scheme that threatens the lives of Jewish Americans!
