When a woman is tortured, hung from a cross, and burned alive in the center of New York City, Jake Timber is already on his way. Tasked with locating an extremist group interested in a recently discovered relic, the Cloisters Cross, Jake expected trouble. After all, as one of the top agents of ARKANE, the secret organization entrusted with protecting the world from supernatural threats, he’s been in the game a long time, and has saved the world more than once. But that’s the problem. Battered and broken again and again, the constant physical and mental struggles of his ARKANE missions have left Jake scarred. Now, his investigation will lead Jake to the Blood of the Angel: a relic that can grant any wish to whoever drinks its contents. A race against time, and against the infinite resources of Gilles Noiret, a dying, ruthless billionaire willing to sacrifice anyone else to save his own life. But this time, the race is different. Because this time Jake isn’t sure if he’s trying to stop Gilles and save the world... or if he’s looking for the Blood of the Angel so he can use it himself. What price would he pay to ease his own pain? Would he sacrifice one person? Two? Or maybe even an entire city?

Penn. Click “Buy Now” and get your copy today!

Download or read book Scorpion written by James R. Poyner and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is July 1777. American privateer Scorpion, a scourge to British shipping, chases the pirate Graywolf through a storm and into the unknown. Sign on for the voyage and learn their fate. Responding to an exchange of gunfire between ships in its sector, American privateer Scorpion, hurries to the encounter. Scorpion arrives at the site of the fray and finds rogues from the pirate Graywolf boarding a British merchantman after subduing the latter's escort. The American bark chases off the black-flagged brig, but not before the brigands have abducted a young woman, the niece of Lord Cornwallis. With little hesitation, Captain Sam Dawes orders Scorpion to pursue the pirate. It is that simple and proper response that sets in motion a series of adventures that ends with a board of inquiry that will decide the fate of Scorpion, her crew, and her master. Yet, the wonderful unity of the entire crew, the way they work in harmony, with mutual respect and understanding, is food for thought for all of us, especially those who must work together to achieve a common goal. James R. Poyner, a Chicagoan, has been a proofreader for many years, and that venerable profession has helped develop his self-critical inner ear. Through that ability he has steadily developed the fluid style of his prose and the careful attention to the mechanics of his writing. Add to that an interesting tale, and the reader is sure to judge SCORPION a worthy addition to his or her library.
Download or read book Arabesques written by Anton Shammas and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous, inventive, and deeply personal exploration of living in the liminal space between Jewish and Arab, ancient and modern, by a gifted Palestinian writer. Chosen by The New York Times as one of the best books of 1988, Arabesques is a luminous novel that engages with history and politics not as propaganda but as literature. That engagement begins with the language in which the book is written: Anton Shammas, from a Palestinian Christian family and raised in Israel, wrote in Hebrew, as no Arab novelist had before. The choice was provocative to both Arab and Jewish readers. Arabesques is divided into two sections: “The Tale” and “The Teller.” “The Tale” tells of several generations of family life in a rural village, of the interplay of past and present, of how memory intersects with history in a part of the world where different people have both lived together and struggled against each other for centuries. “The Teller” is about the writer’s voyage out of that world to Paris and the United States, as he comes into his vocation as a writer, and raises questions about the authority of the storyteller and the nature of the self. Shammas’s tour de force is both a personal and a political narrative—a reinvention of the novel as a way of envisioning and responding to historical and cultural legacies and conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] tour de force examination of the history of ivory . . . and the demise of the elephant and human decency in the process of this unholy quest.” —The Huffington Post Praised for the nuance and sensitivity with which it approaches one of the most fraught conservation issues we face today, John Frederick Walker’s Ivory’s Ghosts tells the astonishing story of the power of ivory through the ages, and its impact on elephants. Long before gold and gemstones held allure, ivory came to be prized in every culture of the world—from ancient Egypt to nineteenth-century America to modern Japan—for its beauty, rarity, and ability to be finely carved. But the beauty came at an unfathomable cost. Walker lays bare the ivory trade’s cruel connection with the slave trade and the increasing slaughter of elephants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the 1980s, elephant poaching reached levels that threatened the last great herds of the African continent, and led to a worldwide ban on the ancient international trade in tusks. But the ban has failed to stop poaching—or the emotional debate over what to do with the legitimate and growing stockpiles of ivory recovered from elephants that die of natural causes. “Ivory’s Ghost is essential reading for anyone concerned with conservation and with the tenuous future of one of the most magnificent creatures our earth has ever seen.” —George B. Schaller, author of A Naturalist and Other Beast
