Magnificently dressed and wearing jewels befitting a queen, the lady is considered the prize of the season: a noble-born heiress raised in India. But even as Geoffrey’s fascination grows, Serena deflects his curiosity—and with good reason. Serena’s exotic past contains a perilous secret that could destroy her. Yet her plan to live in safe solitude is thwarted by her hungry heart, and soon Geoffrey’s passionate seduction finds her blissfully bedded—and wed.

Download or read book Needle in a Timestack written by Robert Silverberg and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of twenty classic stories from the Science Fiction Grand Master who “seems capable of amazements beyond those of mere mortals” (The Washington Post Book World). Needle in a Timestack is Robert Silverberg at his very best—intelligent, inventive, and visionary. This collection showcases his talent for thought-provoking science fiction, ranging in themes from time travel to space travel, the media to mortality. In the titular story—now a feature film by Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley—a jealous ex-husband warps time in a vindictive attempt to destroy his former wife’s new marriage. Thirty-one identical sons have a shocking surprise for their mother in “There Was an Old Woman.” The prophetic “The Pain Peddlers” depicts reality TV in a way that allows viewers to revel in a voyeuristic, adrenaline-fueled rush. Also included are Silverberg’s Hugo Award–winning “Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another,” and the Locus Award winner “The Secret Sharer,” a Joseph Conrad–inspired tale of a ship captain drawn into a strange alliance with a stowaway. The New York Times Book Review hailed Silverberg as “the John Updike of science fiction.” The stories in Needle in a Timestack unite us in our humanity, in the face of science, technology, and our own changing culture.

Download or read book My Adventurous Tales written by Eugene Harvey and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my career in education, I taught English, English grammar, poetry, British literature, and, of course, spelling. After retirement, and when visiting grandchildren, I was challenged to put my English skills into practice, verbally. They would ask me to tell tales for their entertainment, which I did; but to make them special, I would limit the storytelling to Saturday evenings only. They looked forward to the stories and kept track of the time to reminded me of the day. To make it more authentic, and so they didn't think I was just making up tales, I would take any book from the bookshelf and riffle through the pages as I told adventurous stories that pleased and entertained them. The character's names stemmed from my patriotism. During my military service, I was quite proud of the red, white, and blue. Hence the characters were named Redford (Red), Wyatt (white), and Ballou (blue). And there are other references to these three colors throughout the books. The four books presented here are a portion of the tales I related to my grandchildren then and put them on paper. Therefore, there are more books yet to be written. If you enjoy fun, adventure, learning, and mystery, there will be more books forthcoming. That gives you, the reader, something for which to watch. Also, be alert for the coming animated adventures of the three Ladds and their comic books.
