Download or read book Omina Uvorix The Legend written by Guy Jones and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guy Jones has always been interested in human nature and behaviour. Omina-Uvorix: The Legend is his third work that can be considered a spiritual/science fiction fantasy. When Sil D’arblay witnessed the visceral execution on Hanging Hill in Lewesville (from the play ‘La rue de soleil of Lewesville’ in the author’s previous work, Demon Seed), somehow he knew there was more to follow. Now in Omina-Uvorix, events unfold from the intricate web Sil D’arblay spins. We have no idea of how old he is, because he is a Time-lord. Then there is Suzanne Zanzibar, a leggy Swedish extrovert, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, yet a very damaged young girl. What is the connection between these two larger-than-life characters? Omina-Uvorix is the ultimate haven of peace and contentment; some even call it paradise. The story follows characters in England who reincarnate into different time zones, from 1307 to 1982.

Download or read book Of Marsupials and Men written by Alistair Paton and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2022-07-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rollicking history of Australia's amateur naturalists, from settlement to the present ‘A fascinating history of Australia’s wildlife and the wilder men and women who shot, studied and saved it … Compelling and entertaining.’ —David Hunt Of Marsupials and Men recounts the fascinating and often hilarious history of the men and women who dedicated their lives to understanding Australia’s native animals. To the first European colonists, Australian wildlife was bewildering. Marsupials and gum trees seemed strange and hostile; rabbits, sheep and oak trees were familiar and safe. A bustling animal trade soon developed in both directions: foxes, starlings and other reminders of ‘home’ were unleashed on the Australian landscape, while countless Australian animals found themselves in Europe as stuffed specimens or living curiosities in zoos and private collections. Into this picture stepped a remarkable band of enthusiastic amateurs who were determined to get to know the fauna of the new colony. Equal parts inspiring and outlandish, over the next 150 years they would advance scientific understanding and transform public attitudes to Australian wildlife. From the ‘snake men’ who fearlessly thrust their arms into hollow logs just to see what might happen, to the top-secret plan to smuggle a platypus to Winston Churchill at the height of World War II, these are their stories.

Download or read book The Star Witness written by Andy Hamilton and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘If you know me at all, you will know me as a liar.’ Kevin Carver is a household name. A popular TV soap star, he’s coasting through life in the same semi-detached, slightly smug way he’s always done. But when he callously dumps his much younger girlfriend Jade over supper one evening, he makes the first in a series of catastrophic mistakes. One poor decision leads to another and soon his whole life begins to unravel. He finds himself the subject of vitriolic press attacks, a police investigation and so much public loathing that he starts to wonder if he has any chance of receiving a fair trial. As the line blurs between his own life and that of the character he plays on TV, Kevin is forced to confront a lifetime of inadequacy in order to redeem himself. The Star Witness is the story of one man’s descent into disgrace and his journey to rejoin the human race. This pin-sharp satire on the shallows of modern media culture will keep you laughing, cringing and guessing until the very last page.
