Neither she nor her parents understand how she has developed this gift -- or is it a curse? -- to influence the environment around her. One man helps Katie understand what's happening to her. Dr. Schlisselvasser, an anthropologist with expertise in indigenous cultures and their mystics, studies children with unusual abilities. He realizes she is developing her powers as a shaman and begins to help her with specialized training. To complicate matters, there seems to be a greater reason for the sudden appearance of Katie's gift. She is tapped on the shoulder by ancient spirits deep beneath the mountains of Arizona to take on evil villains who will stop at nothing to create an orchestrated environmental disaster for profit and greed. Katie has no desire to be a superhero, but can she understand what it means to be a shaman in time to fight an evil that is quickly approaching? In this debut novel, David Jacobs spins a supernatural and suspenseful tale intertwining one girl's coming of age and the age-old battle of good versus evil.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the Callahan Security Series. Meet Finn Walsh of the US Coast Guard’s TEAM RECON. As in reconstructed. As in broken and needs fixing. After an abandoned ship is found in international waters, Team RECON is summoned by Homeland Security to find answers. Finn Walsh has massive reservations about boarding the empty US Navy ship. His worst fears come to life when they find all the navigation equipment and electronics disabled, smashed, or gone. But when Finn finds a hidden stash of dead bodies, and the boat begins to sink because of a violent storm, he can’t get off the ship fast enough. Homeland Security analyst Victory Stanhope evaluates foreign and domestic terrorist cells from the safety of a desk in Washington D.C. After a dangerous stint with the CIA, that’s exactly how she likes it. But when a ‘request’ to investigate an abandoned ship comes from the Director himself, Tory heads back into the field only to discover that one of the Coast Guard team she is overseeing is a man she slept with once at a low point in her life and she’s never forgotten him. In the interest of national security, Tory sidelines her strong attraction to Finn and throws herself into the riddle of what happened to the crew of the Oceanus Explorer and who is selling government secrets to other nations. The stakes get even higher when Tory realizes that the sinister mastermind of the treasonous plot is closer to home than she thought possible.

This reversal of fortune has come about through Margaret Burke Sheridan, a retired opera diva who in her prime sang at La Scala and was Puccini’s favourite Madame Butterfly. Having met the boy at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel where he worked as a waiter, Maggie persuaded her wealthy American patrons, Ruth and Emerson Axe, to become his guardians and take him to America. In Tarrytown Castle Gabriel finds himself living in a kind of limbo, situated as he is somewhere between being family and servant, between Irish and American culture. He encounters new experiences such as going to high school, the theatre, the opera and meets and dines with many renowned figures in his new home. Gabriel soon discovers that his guardians have an ambition for him to inherit their highly successful financial business. His future reeks of wonderful possibilities but his upbringing in Dublin still haunts him like an impoverished ghost. To escape his dismal childhood, he used to frequent the damp cinemas of Dublin, leaving him with a natural tendency to be a dreamer. But if Gabriel decides to follow those dreams he knows it will be against the wishes of his benefactors and he will possibly lose the security he has just found. This extraordinary sequel to Maggie’s Breakfast follows Gabriel’s struggle for individual identity in the land where dreams come true.

Download or read book The Complete Walker IV written by Colin Fletcher and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 947 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time since 1984, we have a new edition of the classic book that Field & Stream called “the Hiker’s Bible.” For this version, the celebrated writer and hiker Colin Fletcher has taken on a coauthor, Chip Rawlins, himself an avid outdoorsman and a poet from Wyoming. Together, they have made this fourth edition of The Complete Walker the most informative, entertaining, and thorough version yet. The eighteen years since the publication of The Complete Walker III have seen revolutionary changes in hiking and camping equipment: developments in waterproofing technology, smaller and more durable stoves, lighter boots, more manageable tents, and a wider array of food options. The equipment recommendations are therefore not merely revised and tweaked, but completely revamped. During these two decades we have also seen a deepening of environmental consciousness. Not only has backpacking become more popular, but a whole ethic of responsible outdoorsmanship has emerged. In this book the authors confidently lead us through these technological, ethical, and spiritual changes. Fletcher and Rawlins’s thorough appraisal and recommendation of equipment begins with a “Ground Plan,” a discussion of general hiking preparedness. How much to bring? What are the ideal clothes, food, boots, and tents for your trip? They evaluate each of these variables in detail—including open, honest critiques and endorsements of brand-name equipment. Their equipment searches are exhaustive; they talk in detail about everything from socks to freeze-dried trail curries. They end as they began, with a philosophical and literary disquisition on the reasons to walk, capped off with a delightful collection of quotes about walking and the outdoor life. After a thoughtful and painstaking analysis of hiking gear from hats to boots, from longjohns to tent flaps, they remind us that ultimately hiking is about the experience of being outdoors and seeing the green world anew. Like its predecessors, The Complete Walker IV is an essential purchase for anyone captivated by the outdoor life.

Download or read book The Coyote and the Bear written by Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology Roger McIntyre and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Axe was moaning incoherently about giving life a run, all right, when the three Apaches found him. They sat on their horses quietly, taking in the white man—mostly white man—the horses, the trees, the brush... Little escaped them. They could see from where they sat that the man was sick, not injured, and that the horses had been neglected for some time. They saw the packs in the grass on the bench land and saw the man's rifle leaning on the packs. That's how they knew he was ill in the head—or a fool. He was a seasoned mountain man by the looks of his outfit, and they had no clue he was here till they stumbled on him. No fool. As Axe recovers from his injuries, he befriends Thinker, one of the Apaches who saved his life. Axe plans to 'move on' from Arizona to Mexico, but Thinker continually stalls him, even going so far as to arrange a wife for Axe! Axe helps Thinker understand the inevitability of Manifest Destiny. Set against the backdrop of the Mexican-American War and the United States' expansion westward, Coyote and the Bear is an epic adventure of war, love, and friendship.
