Book excerpt: In this long-awaited new installment of the legendary Kate Delafield mystery series, Kate is forced to confront her most formidable opponent: herself. Kate Delafield is in a world of trouble. Five months into mandated retirement from the LAPD, her long term on-again off-again relationship with Aimee Grant is off again. She’s become hopelessly dependent on the only substance that can drown her pain over Aimee—and the illness of her best friend. She is lost without her police career and beset by terrifying dreams. Into this world walks Captain Carolina Walcott of the LAPD, with a request that Kate secretly try to locate Kate’s former police partner, Joe Cameron, who has vanished. She also offers Kate a business card—the name on it a woman from Kate’s past who may be able to offer a lifeline back to the self Kate once was. As she deals with a shocking and inexplicable homicide, Kate also pursues a trail of evidence toward Cameron that leads her into the high desert. Here she will find profound challenges to the truth of everything she ever believed in as a principled police officer. Here she must decide what it is she still believes: about her past, her present, her future.

Download or read book Secret Places in the Mojave Desert Vol IV written by Death Jim and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes secret places are in some of the most well-known places in our public lands. These secret places are kept a secret because there are groups or organizations that do not feel you, the reader of this very book, can be trusted with these secrets. In his beginnings, Death Valley Jim was a lot like those who read his books. He combed through piles of research, many of which lead to dead ends and poorly documented sites. He also encountered outright refusal from rangers and other "protectors" when asked about these secret places. This frustration and secrecy is what has motivated him to continue the Secret Places in the Mojave Desert series - to help others like him with a genuine love and interest in the desert and the many treasures that lie within it find them and enjoy them. Our National Parks, Preserves, Monuments, and Forests were created with the intent of preserving the special natural wonders they behold. They were created for all of us to enjoy and explore! But how can these places be truly enjoyed if some of their greatest wonders are being kept a secret from the public? Every American pays taxes - and a portion of those taxes is used to preserve our national lands. And every American should be allowed to enjoy every square foot of them. This book focuses on the "secret" places within Joshua Tree National Park, The Mojave National Preserve, and surrounding areas. You will not be able to find many of these locations in any other publication because they have been so fiercely protected by the powers that be. It is expected this book will be met with much criticism and resistance from many, but it is Jim's hope that just as the lovers of the desert and its history always have, they will continue to respect these natural and anthropological wonders. "Take only pictures and memories, leave only footprints."
Download or read book Desert Oracle written by Ken Layne and published by MCD. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cult-y pocket-size field guide to the strange and intriguing secrets of the Mojave—its myths and legends, outcasts and oddballs, flora, fauna, and UFOs—becomes the definitive, oracular book of the desert For the past five years, Desert Oracle has existed as a quasi-mythical, quarterly periodical available to the very determined only by subscription or at the odd desert-town gas station or the occasional hipster boutique, its canary-yellow-covered, forty-four-page issues handed from one curious desert zealot to the next, word spreading faster than the printers could keep up with. It became a radio show, a podcast, a live performance. Now, for the first time—and including both classic and new, never-before-seen revelations—Desert Oracle has been bound between two hard covers and is available to you. Straight out of Joshua Tree, California, Desert Oracle is “The Voice of the Desert”: a field guide to the strange tales, singing sand dunes, sagebrush trails, artists and aliens, authors and oddballs, ghost towns and modern legends, musicians and mystics, scorpions and saguaros, out there in the sand. Desert Oracle is your companion at a roadside diner, around a campfire, in your tent or cabin (or high-rise apartment or suburban living room) as the wind and the coyotes howl outside at night. From journal entries of long-deceased adventurers to stray railroad ad copy, and musings on everything from desert flora, rumored cryptid sightings, and other paranormal phenomena, Ken Layne's Desert Oracle collects the weird and the wonderful of the American Southwest into a single, essential volume.

Download or read book The Mojave Desert s Mysterious Secrets written by Branton Walton and published by Inner Light - Global Communications. This book was released on 2015-10-04 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MAN OF EXTRAORDINARY MYSTERY EXPOSES A CONSPIRACY AGAINST REALITY WHICH IS EFFECTING ALL OF HUMANKIND Little is know about the individual who was born Bruce A. Walton, but early on changed his name to Branton when he began to realize that something was "just not right," that he had become a "sleeper" for the CIA when he had stumbled upon some information that he was not supposed to know. He was given an alternative "double life" which gave him access to underground UFO and MILAB bases and apparently had been "tagged" by the Greys with a series of alien implants placed in various parts of his body. It is also claimed that he had a number of hybrid children who are now part of the NWO resistance movement. He felt as if he were being driven deeper into the pit of depravity and bondage to the "evil one," from whom he eventually "defected" in order to expose this darkness to the light of truth, so that others might escape the traps which almost took his life. Here are bizarre accounts collected by Branton and "The Group" a band of associates that refer to themselves as "The Committee Of Twelve To save The Planet." Branton believes that the world is under attack from the Illuminate, the New World Order working in conjunction with demonic aliens and reptilian shape shifters headquartered beneath the earth's surface. "To the Christians," insists Branton, "the Underworld is Hell. To many, the world of caverns are the abodes of their ancestors, a truism common, perhaps to all of us, if we believe our for-bearers were cave men and women. To Richard S. Shaver the Hollow Earth was the abode of debauched Dero; to others it was the home of the Serpent Race or Agharta; still others saw it inhabited by a society with a Utopian model. To some the Inner Earth may represent only caverns, a few hundred feet, or a few miles down. To other theorists it may represent a miniature cosmos of its own, complete with a Central Sun. But however we view it, the Inner Earth remains one of our strongest, if unproved, traditions." This book is DEFINITELY NOT FOR EVERYONE! - Only for those keenly interested in what is taking place behind the scenes, out of the glare of public scrutiny. Here is a secret world unknown to the masses, but revealed to those at this critical time in our history who truly want to see!

Download or read book The San Luis Valley written by and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a high valley edged by serrated peaks, a remote expanse the size of Connecticut lying, as if forgotten, between two mountain ranges. Here, North AmericaÕs tallest sand dunes blow against glacier-gouged summits, the Rio Grande begins its long journey from snowflake to saltwater, and vast reaches of desert scrub hide verdant pocket wetlands. ColoradoÕs San Luis Valley is not a place for the timid. Sizzling hot in summer, frigid cold in winter, this huge landscape is humbling in its openness, a place defined by the rhythms of natureÑand by the thrust and parry of male courting female in the ritual dance of sandhill cranes. These majestic birds arrive by the thousands twice a year to feed, rest, and socialize in the valleyÕs wetlandsÑinvisible except from the airÑand their cries temper the constant wind. Susan Tweit lives in the high desert of southern Colorado not far from the valleyÕs dunes and wetlands. With the precision of a scientist and the passion of a poet, she guides readers through this land of sand dunes and sandhill cranes, describing its natural features and tracing its human history from buffalo hunters and conquistadors to Hispanic farming communities and UFO observatories. And in stunning images, photographer Glenn Oakley brings his intimate feel for light and landscape to portraying not only the subtle beauty of this high-desert sanctuary but also the grandeur of the cranes in flight. As an intimate look at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve and the San Luis Valley, this book reveals a desert place as seductive and sobering as existence itself.
