With her family threatened by the Agency if she doesn’t rat out Zander and Blayde, her only option to escape the Alliance is to plead ‘aliens’ in a court of law. At least at the Hill Institute for the Criminally Insane, she’ll have time to clear her mind and focus – on revenge. Finding a way to break out of an institution and cross half the galaxy would be much easier if it weren’t for the midnight screams of terror and eerie doppelgangers lurking at the Hill. With the Agency too focused on capturing the siblings to actually protect the planet, it’s up to Sally to save the day. Between murder-clown apparitions, alien advocacy groups, and a new translator with compulsive corporate branding, Sally’s got her work cut out for her. Too bad the best plan she can come up with amounts to faux-regicide with the help of an exasperated starship captain. Will she ever find the time to just Netflix and chill?

Download or read book Kick Start written by Carol Setters and published by Conari Press. This book was released on 2005-04-27 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Kick Start, Carol Setters inspires women from all walks of life to thumb their noses at whatever social conformity may be holding them back, don imaginary (or actual) leather jackets, and join a radical sisterhood of real and virtual biker babes. But riding a Harley or a Honda isn't the point. It's the metaphor for attitude: Not buying into someone else's idea of who you should be "either CEO or soccer mom" and taking the time and making the effort to figure out who your own best self is and becoming that person. Setters writes, "We are coming to the realization that the exquisite strength inherent in our gender must be expressed more openly if we are going to participate in saving this planet from its current state of chaos." And that's the real real point. The new self-fulfillment isn't about narcissism. It's about nothing less than the survival of our planet. The key, Setters writes, is to figure out what really matters to us, what excites us, what bone-deep, do-or-die, must-experience-and-share values and passions are just itching to be born and played out in our lives. Use this unique book to find out what it is you are really supposed to be doing here on the Biker Planet (Earth), for the benefit of those around you.

Book excerpt: From "a master of slow-burn suspense" (Shelf Awareness), a simmering family drama about a father and daughter who embark on a road trip through the American South -- but what they're leaving behind is as important as what lies ahead. When we first meet seven-year-old Dolly, she immediately grabs us with a voice that is both precocious and effervescent. It has been a while since her dad has spent time with her, just the two of them, and so when he scoops her up and promises to take her on the adventure of a lifetime, Dolly is thrilled. The first days on the road are incredibly exciting. Every pit stop promises a new delight for Dolly and her favourite plastic horse, Clemesta, who she's brought along for the adventure. There are milkshakes, shopping sprees, a theme park, and all the junk food she isn't allowed to eat under her mother's watchful eye. And, for the first time, she has her father's attention all to herself. But as they travel farther south, into a country Dolly no longer recognizes, her dad's behavior grows increasingly erratic. He becomes paranoid and irresponsible, even a little scary. The adventure isn't fun anymore, but home is ever further away. And Dolly isn't sure if she'll ever get back. A compulsively readable work of psychological suspense from the first mile to the last, All the Lost Things introduces a remarkable young heroine who leaps off the page, charts a life-changing journey, and ultimately reveals the sometimes heartbreaking intersections of love, truth, and memory.

John and the Believers watched, from the balcony of Heaven, the fulfillment of the book of Revelation. In a Tribulation, seven years of a continuous Halloween on earth, Satan tricked people and didn't offer any treats.
