Book excerpt: She thought knowing would set her free. She thought information would show her the way. All it’s done has entrenched her further into a life of danger, highlighting how all along she’s been a coward. Dee’s most difficult path is just ahead. She thought she had conquered her demons. She thought she knew what sides were what. When she truly loses everything, will she become the villain? Free. That’s all Dee’s ever wanted. That, and to know. The knowing came with a cost, but she’s paid it. Her eyes are open. She’s conquered her demons. It’s time to start a life. But she doesn't see as much as she thinks. Leaving Hamal and her army behind puts them in a scramble, forcing them straight into a trap designed for her. Unsure where his charge is, Hamal bluffs his way from war. Except the only way through this trap is to spring it. When Dee reemerges, ready for action, Hamal's unwilling to sacrifice her. Not even he can stop her from the path she's set herself on. Her decisions will cost more than she's paid to date, leaving everyone vulnerable. When she wakes in the aftermath, she'll find she needs to dig deeper than ever. Every step she takes is a step toward death. Despite her great power, she wonders if maybe she wasn’t Born To Die. Most readers can read this book without starting from the beginning.

Supernaturally fast and strong, she has no memory of what happened or who’s responsible. Thinking herself safe, she focuses on making a simple life for herself... ...but the thing that did this isn’t willing to let her go. An attack on her life by a creature of fiction is only the first. Confused and angry, Dee knows this forgotten past has caught up to her. Questions she’s avoided rule her thoughts. With no way to find answers, can she survive? The arrival of a mysterious stranger brings the answers she craves, but is he too good to be true? Is it safer to get rid of him? If he can show her how to stay alive, it’s worth the risk. Hamal breaks his own rules by coming to Dee’s aid. His mission was to watch, not interfere. But there’s something about her worth putting his reputation on the line. He knows she’ll need all the help he can give. Thrown into a world of immortals—some friends, some enemies—Dee must decide what price she’ll pay for answers or if it’s better to just run.

Download or read book Senseless Mind written by Lee C. George and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "God, look at it! Look at it, Nash." Perhaps Merak is addressing the Lord as much as his assistant, for what he discovers is nothing less than miraculous. The age-old debate over "Nature" versus "Nurture" is resolved. Humans do possess innate knowledge. In the seemingly empty mind of a child, they expose the seed to the origin of all existence-the tiny bit of information that started it all. But the child is in danger. Researchers have taken it for use in mind-manipulation experiments. Now its mother, Mira, is compelled to rescue her baby. She is driven by cryptic premonitions surfacing from her unconscious mind. She does not know that her abducted newborn holds the answers to her puzzles locked in his brain. Since her insemination, Mira's visions are more frequent, her best friend is obsessed with her dream diary, her neighbor is murdered, and a bookstore proprietor tells her of an apocalyptic prophecy surrounding two antiques she possesses-all linking to the events to befall the child. She must hurry to solve her mystery and save her son, but their reunion sparks a final episode, fulfilling the prophecy and leaving the fate of humanity within an infant's Senseless Mind.

Download or read book God s Signature in the Stars Volume One written by Bruce J. Patterson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are there credible reasons to believe many of the constellation and star names were given by inspiration of God? God's Signature in the Stars explores these ancient star names and their meanings to reveal the answer. The Bible states that God named the stars: "He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name" (Isa 40:26). These starry hosts appear in the night sky as God's "character actors," performing their roles on his celestial stage. God is the creator, writer, and director of this heavenly drama and cosmic dance. "By day and by night," his "starry hosts" are flickering above the footlights in God's theater in the sky!

Download or read book Patrick Moore s Observer s Year 366 Nights of the Universe written by Mike Inglis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observers no longer need to wonder what they will turn their attention to each night of the year with this updated text of a beloved favorite from Sir Partick Moore. His night-by-night account of the stars is the best possible guide an observer could ask for, and now includes the latest data for the years 2015-2020, preserving and extending Sir Patrick Moore's legacy. This new edition of his classic text makes it easy to see why Sir Patrick Moore was such a helpful guide to generations of budding astronomers, professional and amateur alike. For every night of the year Patrick gives the reader details of interesting objects that can be seen from Earth. It is a book for people with a wide interest in practical astronomy, those who may not have specialized in a specific area of astronomy and wish to expand their knowledge in all areas. Moore updated his book in a second edition in 2005, giving astronomical events through 2010, but a more current version has been desperately lacking. This third edition includes Sir Patrick’s original text but revises its time-sensitive material and adds all of the points of interest that change from year to year, such as eclipses, occultations, planetary positions, and so on. Sir Patrick Moore left behind an enormous legacy, including the world's longest-running television series with the same original presenter, the BBC's The Sky at Night, and more than 70 written works. His influence on the world of amateur astronomy was phenomen al, and his knowledge and passion led many to take up observing as a life-long hobby. This book, “The Observer’s Year, 366 Nights of the Universe” was, he said, one of his personal favorites. It now features a tribute to Patrick Moore's legacy as well as including what has changed in astronomy since the previous edition ten years ago.

Download or read book The Observer s Year written by Patrick Moore and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was on ce said that 'the night sky always looks much the same'. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. There are 365 days in each year (366 in a Leap Year!), and from an astronomical point of view no two are alike. What I aim to do, in this book, is to go through a complete year and point out some special items of interest for each night. It may be a double star, a vari able star or a nebula; it may be a planet, or even the Moon in some particular aspect - there is plenty of variety. (Anyone unfamiliar with astronomical terms should consult the Glossary at the end ofthis book. ) Let it be said at once that you do not need a large and expensive telescope. A surprising amount can be seen with the naked eye, and binoculars give increased range; indeed, it is probably fair to say that good binoc ulars are ideal for the beginner, and are far better than very small telescopes. Telescopes are of two types: refractors, and reflectors. A refractor collects its light by means of a glass lens known as an object-glass (OG); the light passes down the telescope tube and is brought to focus, where an image is formed and is then magnified by a second lens, termed an eyepiece.

And the seven devils? Biggest score of them all. To avoid attacks, the crew of Zelus scavenge for supplies on long-abandoned Tholosian outposts. Not long after the remnants of the rebellion settle briefly on Fortuna, Ariadne gets a message with unimaginable consequences: the Oracle has gone rogue. In a planned coup against the Empire's new ruler, the AI has developed a way of mass programming citizens into mindless drones. The Oracle's demand is simple: the AI wants One's daughter back at any cost. Time for an Impossible to Infiltrate mission: high chance of death, low chance of success. The devils will have to use their unique skills, no matter the sacrifice, and pair up with old enemies. Their plan? Get to the heart of the Empire. Destroy the Oracle. Burn it all to the ground.
