Book excerpt: “An intricate and absorbing plot, leading to a chilling conclusion . . . another powerhouse thriller” from the USA Today–bestselling author of Whirlwind (Fresh Fiction). Deep in the woods of upstate New York a woman flees a blazing barn. She is burned beyond recognition, and her dying words point police to a labyrinth of “confinement rooms” —rooms designed to hold human beings captive—where they make other chilling discoveries. In Manhattan, Kate Page, a single mom and reporter with a newswire service, receives a heart-stopping call from a detective on the case. A guardian angel charm found at the scene fits the description of the one belonging to Kate’s sister, Vanessa, who washed away after a car crash in a mountain river twenty years ago. Kate has spent much of her life searching for the truth behind her little sister’s disappearance. Now, a manhunt for a killer who’s kept a collection of victims prisoner for years without detection becomes her final chance to either mourn Vanessa’s death—or save her life. Praise for Rick Mofina and his thrillers “Rick Mofina’s tense, taut writing makes every thriller he writes an adrenaline-packed ride.” —Tess Gerritsen, New York Times–bestselling author “A blisteringly paced story that cuts to the bone. It left me ripping through pages deep into the night.” —James Rollins, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Mofina is one of the best thriller writers in the business.” —Library Journal

Download or read book The Jump written by D. H. Landolfi and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartfelt investigation into the world of fiction through a series of passionate and captivating short stories, written in a vivid and visionary style. The collection is divided into three sections, each preceded by a quote from the author that anticipates the theme: mystery, love and writing. There is a reason why writing becomes "passion" and vice versa. Like a virus it grips the mind and gives birth to creatures that have a life of their own and move in an imaginary and imagined world. The reader follows them with transport in the adventures, often in medias res and always wrapped in a halo of ambiguity. Reality loses its contours and the inexplicable becomes possible. You just need to know how to "jump", as the homonymous story that gives the title to the collection says. The introduction is a real essay on the interspatial dimension of creativity. To be read in one go, with a charge of enthusiasm always growing, until the final line.

Book excerpt: When Rick lost the ability to run, he came one step closer to becoming a hero. New High Score! New Record Time! Rick nodded with grim satisfaction. He laid the game controller aside on the sofa and reached for his crutches. Rick Dial was the best quarterback Putnam Hills High School had ever seen. Unflappable. Unstoppable. Number 12. But when a car accident left him crippled, Rick’s life as he knew it ended. He disavowed his triumphant past. He ignored his girlfriend. He disappeared into his bedroom—and into the glowing video screen. But Rick’s uncanny gaming skills have attracted attention. Dangerous attention. Government agents have uncovered a potentially devastating cyber-threat: a Russian genius has created a digital reality called the Realm, from which he can enter, control, and disrupt American computer systems . . . from transportation to defense. The agents want Rick, quick-thinking quarterback and gaming master, to enter the Realm and stop the madman—before he sends America into chaos. Entering the Realm will give Rick what he thought he’d never have again: a body as strong and fast as it was before the accident. But this is no game, there are no extra lives, and what happens to Rick in the Realm happens to Rick’s body in reality. Even after Rick agrees to help, he can’t shake the sense that he’s being kept in the dark. Why would a government agency act so aggressively? Can anyone inside the Realm be trusted? How many others have entered before him . . . and failed to return? In the tradition of Ender’s Game and The Matrix, MindWar is a complex thriller about a seemingly ordinary teenager who discovers a hidden gift—a gift that could make him a hero . . . or cost him everything. "Edgar Award–winning Klavan’s well-orchestrated fantasy thriller features . . . an imaginative mix of gaming action with real-life stakes. With just the right cliff-hanger ending, this trilogy opener shows promise." —Booklist

Artie felt the weight of his family's financial struggles and wanted to help. He began stealing money from people, but his family was unaware of his actions. The last time he stole money, it ended in tragedy. Omar, on the other hand, had a different dream. He didn't know what he wanted for his future, but he was determined to become the best "HighResTuber." In pursuit of his goal, he did something foolish. He entered an abandoned hospital to perform rituals for his livestream, hoping to gain fame. As Omar began his livestream, strange things started to happen. The hospital seemed to come alive, and Omar found himself in a world of trouble. Despite their different paths, Artie and Omar's stories were about to intersect in a way that neither of them could have predicted. But the rituals went wrong, and a big blue beam went through the roof of the abandoned hospital, and it went into his body. The next day, he hears voices in his head, and that voice was from Artie. They both didn't know how this was possible, but Artie remembered that he did the same ritual as Omar did, and that must've been the reason. But one thing was for certain, Artie didn't belong there, so there were people coming after them. Do you want to find out what happened next?
