When he pushed for an investigation, he was kicked out of the Navy with a psychiatric discharge. The doctors put his shattered leg back together, but the bitterness destroyed his marriage. Five years later, Hawkins is jerked out of his tranquil life as a designer of undersea robots. A super-secret government group wants him to go back to Afghanistan on a strange and dangerous mission. A Georgetown University historian has unearthed evidence that could lead to the fabulous treasure of Prester John, a legendary Christian ruler of an eastern empire. The historian has disappeared, and the government wants Hawkins to track down the treasure as a matter of national security. The centerpiece of the trove, an emerald-encrusted gold scepter, is the linchpin in the Prophet's Necklace, code-name for a plot that is intended to kill more people than the attack on the Twin Towers and rally others to the terrorist cause. Hawkins sees his mission to foil the plot as an opportunity to search for answers. He pulls together an eclectic team that includes his ex-wife, a former comrade-in-arms and a mentally unstable computer whiz. Backed by his unlikely team, Hawkins will travel thousands of miles and hundreds of years on an amazing time-space odyssey. He'll face off against a cold-blooded killer. Probe the underwater secrets of an ancient tomb. Navigate the treacherous stands of an unimaginable conspiracy.

Download or read book The Scepter written by Ray Kevelle and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scepter, a masterfully designed weapon of pure destructive power - able to bring down a fully battle-hardened army to its knees - has been nothing more than a rumor for centuries on the world of Ay'zarrius. The majority of the world's inhabitants believed it to be nothing more than a fable until the full might of its power was utilized - by the Meznik leader, Kye Naan - to end a war that has raged for over a millennium. However, instead of using the Scepter's power to desecrate the defeated Vandakors, the lives claimed on that day by the Scepter helped pave the way for peace across the land. The events of that day became known as the 'End of Wars.' Thirty years after Kye Naan's display of power, the peace once delivered by Kye Naan and the Scepter is beginning to slip. Tensions are rising between the growing evil forces of the 'Shadowed One' and its allies. The sudden disappearance of Kye Naan leaves those who believed in his cause lost within the changing tides. This change of fate spells uncertainty and challenges the peace Kye Naan has struggled to preserve for so long.As cynicism grows across the land, the Scepter's dark origins will begin to rear its ugly head. The 'Dakkara' - the original proprietor of the Scepter - slowly regains its strength. This Dakkara is now determined to reclaim its tool to rule over the world and its inhabitants without remorse. An inevitable, devastating storm looms over the people of Ay'zarrius. Not only must Kye Naan find the strength within himself to face what he fears most, but he also needs to deal with the demons thriving within his own conscience, who placed his most trusted allies - and his family, to fight for him in his absence...and sanctify their right to survive...or submit to the growing darkness.
Download or read book Crown Sceptre written by Tracy Borman and published by Grove Atlantic. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the British monarchy that’s “a superb synthesis of historical analysis, politics, and top-notch royal gossip” (Kirkus Reviews). Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England’s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain’s throne. “Shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue’s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs,” as Tracy Borman describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne’s occupant been unambiguously English—whether Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day. Acknowledging the intrinsic fascination with British royalty, Borman lifts the veil to reveal the remarkable characters and personalities who have ruled and, since the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, more ceremonially reigned. It is a crucial distinction explaining the staying power of the monarchy as the royal family has evolved and adapted to the needs and opinions of its people, avoiding the storms of rebellion that brought many of Europe’s royals to an abrupt end. Richard II; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George III; Victoria; Elizabeth II: their names evoke eras and the dramatic events Borman recounts. She is equally attuned to the fabric of monarchy: royal palaces; the way monarchs have been portrayed in art, on coins, in the media; the ceremony and pageantry surrounding the crown. Elizabeth II is already one of the longest reigning monarchs in history. Crown & Sceptre is a fitting tribute to her remarkable longevity and that of the magnificent institution she represents. “Crown & Sceptre brings us in short, vivid chapters from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth herself, much of it constituting a dark record of bumping off adversaries, rivals and spouses, confiscating vast estates and military invasions…. [A] lucid, character-rich book.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Borman’s deep understanding of English royalty shines.” —Chris Schluep, Amazon Editors’ Picks, The Best History Books of February 2022
