Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Lost City of the Monkey God comes an entrancing, eloquent, and entertaining account of the author’s adventurous journey on horseback through the Southwest in the heart of Navajo desert country. In 1992 author Douglas Preston and his wife and daughter rode horseback across 400 miles of desert in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. They were retracing the route of a Navajo deity, the Slayer of Alien Gods, on his quest to restore beauty and balance to the Earth. More than a travelogue, Preston’s account of their “one tough journey, luminously remembered” (Kirkus Reviews) is a tale of two cultures meeting in a sacred land and is “like traveling across unknown territory with Lewis and Clark to the Pacific” (Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee).

Book excerpt: Left for Dead tells of a disaster of unknown origin and proportion that wipes out most modern technology. After the COVID-19 pandemic of 2019, each subsequent winter, brings about back-to-back Polar Vortices which carry subfreezing artic weather systems down across continental U.S. In 2021, the Deep South gets hit with the worst one to date receiving heavy snow storms common in the Dakotas. Rolling blackouts sweep the nation and food shortages create widespread panic. Then, as municipalities begin to adjust to what experts called the ‘new normal for southern winter weather’, and bring about peace, a dark threat waits in the wings ready to bring about a new crisis. Asher Latham is serving a life-sentence for murder in the state penitentiary when the power goes out and certain signs tell him that they’re facing more than a simple power outage. He believes an EMP event may have struck the U.S. and realizing the long term ramifications of such an event, he has no desire to die in prison. But, what can he do? After time off due to the weather, Bethany Johnson has just returned to Vanderbilt University to work on her law degree when a bad day turns into a nightmare. She finds herself alone facing a murderous mob of accusers. Associate Pastor Grant Foster and his loving wife finds themselves looking after a large group of their neighbors, employees of their RV dealership, and members of their church. Best-selling novelist Carrie Raymore sits at her desk working on her latest book when her computer bursts into flames, the short circuit spreads to her external memory source frying months of work. Then she notices a neighbors home on fire and rushes over to help. Follow along as these people face a crisis of epic proportions as they struggle to survive.

But their reunion is short-lived when the bomb planter returns, forcing their escape into Lake Tahoe’s wilderness. As they struggle to survive, memories of their shared past reignite old feelings.

Download or read book The Monster of Florence written by Douglas Preston and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nonfiction tradition of John Berendt and Erik Larson, the author of the #1 NYT bestseller The Lost City of the Monkey God presents a gripping account of crime and punishment in the lush hills surrounding Florence as he seeks to uncover one of the most infamous figures in Italian history. In 2000, Douglas Preston fulfilled a dream to move his family to Italy. Then he discovered that the olive grove in front of their 14th century farmhouse had been the scene of the most infamous double-murders in Italian history, committed by a serial killer known as the Monster of Florence. Preston, intrigued, meets Italian investigative journalist Mario Spezi to learn more. This is the true story of their search for--and identification of--the man they believe committed the crimes, and their chilling interview with him. And then, in a strange twist of fate, Preston and Spezi themselves become targets of the police investigation. Preston has his phone tapped, is interrogated, and told to leave the country. Spezi fares worse: he is thrown into Italy's grim Capanne prison, accused of being the Monster of Florence himself. Like one of Preston's thrillers, The Monster of Florence, tells a remarkable and harrowing story involving murder, mutilation, and suicide-and at the center of it, Preston and Spezi, caught in a bizarre prosecutorial vendetta.
