Download or read book Payton s Surprise written by Serena Simpson and published by Serena Simpson. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aliens abducted Payton on her way home. She was still having a hard time believing it, but it was true. She was nothing but experimental fodder for a race she couldn’t communicate with. When she got a chance to run, she did. Now she was being rescued but denied the right to go home. If that wasn’t enough, the experiments they did on her were coming out. She was angry, and every cut and bruise stroked that anger—someone needed to pay. Cassic and Malic were on a ship that rescued them from floating around space in a cryo-pod forever. They were helping and looking for a place to call home that would keep them away from their former government, the ones that put a price on their heads. They never intended to meet Payton. All three of them were running. The aliens that abducted Payton wanted her back. The government that wanted Cassic dead was coming after them. They didn’t expect to survive until they realized that there was a pull between the three of them. If they want a chance at a future, they’ll have to learn to act as one as they protect themselves and each other from the threats coming their way. What a way to fall in love. Look for strange birds with secrets—a goddess who does more than she says and, of course, love the triad way. 18 and older.

Download or read book Walter Payton written by Adam Woog and published by Infobase Learning. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest all-around running backs in National Football League history, Walter Payton set several league records-including career rushing yards (16,726); most games rushing for 100 or more yards (77); and rushing touchdowns (110)-during his 13-year career with the Chicago Bears. Nicknamed "Sweetness" by his Jackson State University teammates because of his smooth running style and friendly disposition, Payton was a nine-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL MVP. In 1985, he rushed for more than 1,500 yards to help Chicago capture the most wins in franchise history, with a 15-1 regular season record. In the playoffs, the Bears outscored their opponents 101-10, including a dominating 46-10 victory against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. Tragically, in February 1999, Payton was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. Less than six months later, he was dead, at the age of 45. Payton's legacy endures today through the charitable foundation that he and his wife, Connie, established in 1989. The Walter and Connie Payton Foundation has provided toys and school supplies to thousands of abused, neglected, and underprivileged children in Illinois.

Download or read book Never Die Easy written by Walter Payton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2001-01-18 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Never die easy. Why run out of bounds and die easy? Make that linebacker pay. It carries into all facets of your life. It's okay to lose, to die, but don't die without trying, without giving it your best." His legacy is towering. Walter Payton—the man they called Sweetness, for the way he ran—remains the most prolific running back in the history of the National Football League, the star of the Chicago Bears' only Super Bowl Championship, eleven times voted the most popular sports figure in Chicago's history. Off the field, he was a devoted father whose charitable foundation benefited tens of thousands of children each year, and who—faced with terminal liver disease—refused to use his celebrity to gain a preferential position for organ donation. Walter Payton was not just a football hero; he was America's hero. Never Die Easy is Walter Payton's autobiography, told from the heart. Growing up poor in Mississippi, he took up football to get girls' attention, and went on to become a Black College All-American at tiny Jackson State (during which time he was also a finalist in a Soul Train dance contest). Drafted by the Bears in 1975, he predicted that he would last only five years but went on to play thirteen extraordinary seasons, a career earning him regular acknowledgment as one of the greatest players in the history of professional football. And when his playing days were over, he approached business and charity endeavors with the same determination and success he had brought to the football field, always putting first his devotion to friends and family. His ultimate battle with illness truly proved him the champion he always had been and prompted a staggering outpouring of love and support from hundreds of thousands of friends and admirers. Written with veteran journalist and author Don Yaeger in the last weeks of Walter Payton's life, Never Die Easy presents Walter's singular voice—warm, plainspoken, funny, self-aware—along with the voices of the friends, family, teammates, and business associates who knew him best at all stages of his life, including his wife, Connie, and their children, Brittney and Jarrett; his teammate and friend Matt Suhey; former Bears head coach Mike Ditka; and many, many others. Walter made Don Yaeger promise that his book would be "inspirational and leave people with some kind of lesson . . . and make sure you spell all the words right." Never Die Easy keeps all those promises.
