Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Espionage by the reckless Communists of the Peoples Republic of China is nothing new. Behind in nuclear research, they have been at that spy game for some time. Back in 1962, atomic weapon parity with the Soviets and the West continued to elude Mao Tse Tung's China. Most troubling to him was the lack of compact H-bombs to fit his bombers and missiles. Mao directed his Peoples Liberation Army intelligence staff to devise innovative ploys to steal those nuclear weapon secrets from the United States. That same year, Rita Mitchell, a struggling photojournalist, came to the islands of Portuguese Macau that bordered Mao's China coast for photo stories of fleeing Chinese peasants. Her husband, a US Air Force bomber pilot, reluctantly agreed to help. She planned a quick sashay into Mao's China to grab color photo-stories of emigre's daily braving gunfire to escape their miserable communist life. Too often, Rita knew, escapees' bullet-riddled bodies had been washing up on Macau's shores. Bad luck! Dr. Sung of the PLA Intelligence Directorate snagged both Rita and her pilot husband, Mitch. On demonstrated threat of violent death, the two were blackmailed to provide China a newly operational, mini-version H-bomb, carried by Mitch's aircrew on the US Air Force's giant B-52 bomber. Rita is held in Canton as a blood hostage. Mitch is sent back to his USAF crew duties to deliver the weapon--on threat of instant bullets if either betrays the PRC. To guarantee success, Beijing immediately began pumping its unlimited, worldwide intelligence resources and raw power to aid Dr. Sung. Rita and Mitch face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Each tries many ways to resist. They stumble, yet keep trying. The threat of death by rifle bullet for Mitch scares the hell out of him. Rita is kept in line by a slathering guard's lustiness and bizarre appetites wielded on her by sadistic Dr. Sung. Can they solve their dilemma, preserve dignity and avoid treason against their country?

Book excerpt: Now back in print from the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Girls. It was in 1833 or '34 that Moses Bailey brought young Kate Malone down to Cold Spring Holler to be his wife. But Moses, wanting to become a preacher like his daddy was, left Kate time and again to look after the kids while he went out in search of a sign from God. Though he warned them about the evils of playing the fiddle, a kind of music he likened to the devil's own laughter, it passed the time for his bride and children, and soon became not just a way of life for the Baileys, but a curse that would last for generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil’s Fork opens with the boy Papa exclaiming, “They was gonna hang my o’Amigo Calley Pearsall out there in front a’the Alamo down in San Antoneya come Saturday Noon and if I was gonna stop it I better Light a Shuck and Get on with it. And I mean Right Now.” And so Papa and his sweetheart Annie Oster set off to rescue Calley, thereby launching themselves into another series of hair-raising adventures. The Devil’s Fork concludes the enthralling journey through wild and woolly Central Texas in the 1880s that began in The Devil’s Backbone and The Devil’s Sinkhole. Papa springs Calley from jail, but their troubles are far from over. Framed for murder, the two amigos have to flee for their lives. Joining their flight this time is o’Johnny, the evil Sheriff Pugh’s disabled little brother, who has uncanny abilities. Escaping danger for a while, Papa and Calley try to start a new life as horse traders, only to find themselves branded as horse thieves when o’Johnny and a mysterious white ghost horse begin rescuing abused horses from their masters. Can Papa and Calley escape the noose and save all the horses that Johnny and the White Horse liberate? Or will their own hot tempers send them down the Devil’s Fork, from which no one ever returns? Proving himself a master storyteller once again, Bill Wittliff spins a yarn as engrossing as the stories his own Papa told him long ago, stories that inspired The Devil’s Backbone, The Devil’s Sinkhole, and The Devil’s Fork.
Download or read book Collected Poems written by Federico García Lorca and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 1155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised edition of this major writer's complete poetical work And I who was walking with the earth at my waist, saw two snowy eagles and a naked girl. The one was the other and the girl was neither. -from "Qasida of the Dark Doves" Federico García Lorca was the most beloved poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world's most influential modernist writers. His work has long been admired for its passionate urgency and haunting evocation of sorrow and loss. Perhaps more persistently than any writer of his time, he sought to understand and accommodate the numinous sources of his inspiration. Though he died at age thirty-eight, he left behind a generous body of poetry, drama, musical arrangements, and drawings, which continue to surprise and inspire. Christopher Maurer, a leading García Lorca scholar and editor, has brought together new and substantially revised translations by twelve poets and translators, placed side by side with the Spanish originals. The seminal volume Poet in New York is also included here in its entirety. This is the most comprehensive collection in English of a poet who—as Maurer writes in his illuminating introduction—"spoke unforgettably of all that most interests us: the otherness of nature, the demons of personal identity and artistic creation, sex, childhood, and death."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence of Grace is about God’s love and how God will never leave you or forsake a sinner who sincerely repents. Through a life of mistakes and turmoil, the author finds the evidence of God’s amazing grace and takes a closer look at some of the greatest Bible heroes—how they fell miserably, and how God still chose them to fulfill His Kingdom plan. King David did great things for God, but he also committed adultery and murder. Rahab, a sinner, became a saint in the latter part of her life. God can and will pardon repentant people and use them for His glorious purpose—regardless. Evidence of Grace also encourages you to pursue restoration of fallen Christian brothers and sisters and not to forget that God used some of the most messed-up people to accomplish great things for Him in spite of their shortcomings and mistakes.

Download or read book The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini written by Benvenuto Cellini and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the most important autobiography from Renaissance Italy and one of the most spirited and colorful from any time or place, in a translation widely recognized as the most faithful to the energy and spirit of the original. Benvenuto Cellini was both a beloved artist in sixteenth-century Florence and a passionate and temperamental man of action who was capable of brawling, theft, and murder. He counted popes, cardinals, kings, and dukes among his patrons and was the adoring friend of—as he described them—the “divine” Michelangelo and the “marvelous” Titian, but was as well known for his violent feuds. At age twenty-seven he helped defend the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, and his account of his imprisonment there (under a mad castellan who thought he was a bat), his escape, recapture, and confinement in “a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms” is an adventure equal to any other in fact or fiction. But it is only one in a long life lived on a grand scale. Cellini’s autobiography is not merely the record of an extraordinary life but also a dramatic and evocative account of daily life in Renaissance Italy, from its lowest taverns to its highest royal courts.
