Download or read book Monster Mega Trucks written by Tim Kane and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert on the most popular trucks in the world, monster trucks, Tim Kane revisits the current stars of this family-friendly sport and explores how these racing machines have evolved in the past few years. The bodies of these beasts may have slimmed down, but the tires, springs, and shock absorbers have grown, allowing the trucks to soar over obstacles with more spectacular jumps and at much faster speeds. Monster Mega Trucks documents the acrobatic maneuvers and the breathtaking stunts of these oversized vehicles and the derring-do of the monster truck drivers. Readers will enjoy the photos of all the big crashes and how these trucks jump, fly, and weave, often on only one or two wheels, with 1,500-horsepower racing motors. In addition, Kane explores other real-life Transformers that can walk, fly, crawl, and swim. These are true shape-shifting creatures that travel by air, water, and land and perform important tasks, such as eating litter or sucking up oil after a spill.

Do you remain in your safe condo in Vancouver or throw caution to the wind even if there might be some perilous consequences? Sometimes, it's just too late to turn back. Leah needs space to understand her relentless angst, depression and drinking problem, so she leaves her high-profile career behind and accepts the inheritance. But from the moment she enters Ravens' Wood, Leah knows something is wrong. Someone, or something haunts her replica Southern plantation house. After several supernatural events, Leah questions her sanity. It's REGINALD who's responsible. He wasn't born a demon. but when his mother died giving him birth, his Egyptologist father blamed him and made his life a living hell. So it seemed only natural for Reginald to gravitate to the dark arts and that's when his mentor-Egyyptian Demon Ammit-entered his life. Ammit, also known as "devourer of bones", is a deadly female demon. She's all business with the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion, and the back end of a hippo. Now, Reginald's path to immortality is blocked by Leah, who doesn't yet realize they're related and that she has something he desperately needs. Enter the six guardians of Einer's Bay; they've been protecting the town from deadly occurrences since the 1800's. The current group will defend her. Leah is attracted to one guardian who is almost a decade younger. As she deals with her romantic feelings and emotional pain, Leah and the guardians know they must defeat Reginald and they're running out of time.
