Book excerpt: The Dragon Elder Cynthargis has declared herself the first Queen of Nomaris, an act ignored by everyone except those directly involved with the wayward youngster; the Guardian who cares for the Youngest Elder, despite her being a hundred years old, the very human Brian, who wound up on Nomaris accidentally and his wife Martha, who was turned into a spilgatz to ensure her husband's cooperation long enough to fertilize the Royal Egg. To reach this point, Cynthargis had to become a very naughty dragon indeed, an attitude caused by the accidental discovery of an ancient and malevolent artifact. She trapped the Eldest Elder, Phailok, in his own pyramid, killed her sister Gailyn and caused a series of events to unfold that left another sister and mutual friend stranded on Earth posing as a human infant and... a cat. Aside from that, everything is Perfect.This is a story that challenges the usual dragon and other world paradigms; once you visit Nomaris, you will want to stay forever.

Download or read book Nomaris In the Beginning written by Adrienne Austin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything has a beginning; that freakish moment when one thing suddenly becomes something else, or in other cases, starts or stops entirely. We don't know why this happens, but it does. This was proving to be somewhat troublesome for Nomaris, whose populations relied on a general consistency from the planet and, Dragon Elder Obsessions notwithstanding, everyone else. The first hint that all was not well was a massive earthquake that threw almost everyone on the planet out of bed, except for Elder Gailyn, who woke to a shower of flower petals loosed by the shaking tree she was tethered to. Hiss, the natural gas that the entire planet relied upon, disappeared abruptly, and with it all the flames in the Valley of Eternal Flames, another big hint that something was amiss. Then the Oracle awoke after centuries of being confused for garden statuary. As one might imagine, It had something Important to relay."In the Beginning," the second story based on the planet Nomaris, is an adventurous quest laced with romance and lessons in the consequences of our choices.

Book excerpt: “Told with a true storyteller’s voice: clear, singing, persuasive, and wonderfully moving . . . a truly wonderful book.”—Jane Yolen From #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and acclaimed author Lisa Tuttle comes a timeless tale that brilliantly renders the struggle between the ironbound world of tradition and a rebellious soul seeking to prove the power of a dream. Among the scattered islands that make up the water world of Windhaven, no one holds more prestige than the silver-winged flyers, romantic figures who cross treacherous oceans, braving shifting winds and sudden storms, to bring news, gossip, songs, and stories to a waiting populace. Maris of Amberly, a fisherman’s daughter, wants nothing more than to soar on the currents high above Windhaven. So she challenges tradition, demanding that flyers be chosen by merit rather than inheritance. But even after winning that bitter battle, Maris finds that her troubles are only beginning. Now a revolution threatens to destroy the world she fought so hard to join—and force her to make the ultimate sacrifice. “Martin and Tuttle make wonderful professional music together . . . shifting easily from moments of almost unbearable tension to others of sheer poetry and exhilaration.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A powerful flight of the imagination . . . an entirely enjoyable reading experience, wrought by a pair of writers noted for excellence.”—Roger Zelazny “It’s romance. It’s science fiction. It’s beautiful.”—A. E. van Vogt “I didn’t mean to stay up all night to finish Windhaven, but I had to!”—Anne McCaffrey

Download or read book Maris Mantle written by Tony Castro and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris are forever intertwined in baseball history thanks to the unforgettable 1961 season, when the two Yankee icons spurred each other to new heights in pursuit of Babe Ruth's home run record. History has largely overlooked the bond between the two men not as titans of their sport, but as people. Guided by Tony Castro, bestselling author and foremost chronicler of Mantle, readers will journey into history, from the Yankees' blockbuster trade for Maris, whose acquisition re-ignited Mantle's career after a horrendous 1959 season, to the heroics of 1961 and far beyond. This dual biography is a thoroughly researched, emotionally gripping portrait that brings Yankees lore alive.

Download or read book You Remind Me of Me written by Dan Chaon and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his critically acclaimed Among the Missing and Fitting Ends, award-winning author Dan Chaon proved himself a master of the short story form. He is a writer, observes the Chicago Tribune, who can “convincingly squeeze whole lives into a mere twenty pages or so.” Now Chaon marshals his notable talents in his much-anticipated debut novel. You Remind Me of Me begins with a series of separate incidents: In 1977, a little boy is savagely attacked by his mother’s pet Doberman; in 1997 another little boy disappears from his grandmother’s backyard on a sunny summer morning; in 1966, a pregnant teenager admits herself to a maternity home, with the intention of giving her child up for adoption; in 1991, a young man drifts toward a career as a drug dealer, even as he hopes for something better. With penetrating insight and a deep devotion to his characters, Dan Chaon explores the secret connections that irrevocably link them. In the process he examines questions of identity, fate, and circumstance: Why do we become the people that we become? How do we end up stuck in lives that we never wanted? And can we change the course of what seems inevitable? In language that is both unflinching and exquisite, Chaon moves deftly between the past and the present in the small-town prairie Midwest and shows us the extraordinary lives of “ordinary” people.
