Book excerpt: Everyone knows the song, Hotel California, right? "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave." Sure, it's a great song, but the Eagles had it wrong: The hotel referred to in the Eagles hit song isn't in California. It's in Nevada, and Earl Murray has a story about this hotel so chilling, you won't be able to hear this song again without breaking a sweat and looking back over your shoulder. Hotel California and Other Stories is the second book in Earl Murray's acclaimed Ghosts of the Old West series. This time, Earl retells the story passed along to him by Shirley Porter and her husband about buying an old hotel in Nevada, and like the song suggests, were unable to leave. Shirley's story is one of unexplained dreams and fears and odd feelings, a series of encounters with disembodied spirits locked in time, unable to escape the hotel, and determined to keep Shirley and her husband trapped with them. Other stories include the experience of two women visiting the Big Hole Battlefield site in western Montana; that day, they witnesses hundreds of red-tailed hawks peculiarly hovering just above ground; wilderness sightings of Bigfoot and Ghosts Lights, and animal spirits that have come to visit, or merely pass in the night before unsuspecting onlookers; Skinwalker stories from the American Southwest; and the ongoing mystery of cattle mutilations in the wide open spaces of the West, a vast territory of untold secrets. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SPIES OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN is the true story of legendary British safecracker and spy Eddie Chapman, the British Double Cross Spy System, and Norwegian female Resistance operatives Dagmar Lahlum and Annemarie Breien. Known as Agent Zigzag, the most remarkable double agent of WWII, the fearless and roguishly handsome Chapman fell in love with and spied alongside the stunning 20-year-old model Dagmar Lahlum in Occupied Norway. Based upon recently released historical records from British and Norwegian archives, this WWII adventure and romance tale illuminates for the first time the intimate relationship between the two spy-lovers as well as the wartime exploits of Lahlum, Breien, and the Norwegian Resistance to liberate Norway and combat the Gestapo's bloodhound investigator, Siegfried Fehmer. The contributions of Dagmar Lahlum and Annemarie Breien to the Allied war effort are many and incontrovertible--and yet history has never properly recognized these courageous Resistance women for their achievements. Until now. This book is their story and the story of the colorful Eddie Chapman in their efforts to defeat the Nazis.

Download or read book Tales of the Midnight Sun written by John P. Orban and published by . This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a complex rational world and also in a world of unexplained paranormal realities. The transit of our selves, our souls and our minds through the passage of time is a metaphysical process that remains, as it has been throughout history, an ongoing mystery. We are truly suspended in a mystical process that men, over the centuries, have tried to make into some kind of sense and yield a solution or explanation. Questions, such as who we are, where we came from, where we ultimately go as well as what is the meaning of what we experience in life, are the sum and substance of the essentials questions that we, as mortals, ultimately face. In these tales, an approach that probes our instinct to imagine resolution to esoteric questions is placed before the reader. You will find your ability to expand your consciousness tested and hopefully you will learn from these provocative protagonists, how their answers were found. Some believe that a New Age is before mankind if we can avert our tragically destructive instincts and mechanisms. Perhaps in that New Age, we all have to dream of and fight for positive changes and hope that the reality of life on Earth will blossom positively. This collection of novellas describes a utopian view of our experience as a positive metaphysical race and attempts to push the envelope of reality.

Download or read book The Name of this Book Is Secret written by Pseudonymous Bosch and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the series that's sold more than 2 million copies--if you dare! Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch. As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or about how a mysterious box of vials, the Symphony of Smells, sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange (and stinky) circumstances. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too. For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret.

Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband’s body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town.

An uneasy―and dangerous―alliance is born. It’s almost impossible to live off the grid in the twenty-first century, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the courage, the ingenuity, and the desperation, to try. Hopscotching from city to city, Debra especially is chased by a very dark secret. From heart-stopping escapes and devious deceptions, we are left to wonder…can she possibly outrun her past?

The satisfying conclusion will leave readers rethinking everything and immediately turning back to the first page to start again. Psychological suspense lovers will tear through this thriller” (Library Journal, starred review).

I certainly won't be telling you about how the kids stumble upon the Museum of Magic, where they finally meet the amazing Pietro! Oh, blast! I've done it again.

Download or read book Morning Star Midnight Sun written by Jeffrey Cox and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the disastrous Java Sea campaign, the Allies went on the offensive in the Pacific in a desperate attempt to halt the Japanese forces that were rampaging across the region. With the conquest of Australia a very real possibility, the stakes were high. Their target: the Japanese-held Solomon Islands, in particular the southern island of Guadalcanal. Hamstrung by arcane pre-war thinking and a bureaucratic mind-set, the US Navy had to adapt on the fly in order to compete with the mighty Imperial Japanese Navy, whose ingenuity and creativity thus far had fostered the creation of its Pacific empire. Starting with the amphibious assault on Savo Island, the campaign turned into an attritional struggle where the evenly matched foes sought to grind out a victory. Following on from his hugely successful book Rising Sun, Falling Skies, Jeffrey R. Cox tells the gripping story of the first Allied offensive of the Pacific War, as they sought to prevent Japan from cutting off Australia and regaining dominance in the Pacific.
