Download or read book The Dead Man s King written by John C. Wolfe and published by John C. Wolfe. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEAD MAN’S KING: Fifty-nine homeless men are living in Central Park in a hidden city with its own boundaries, laws and governance. The Misfits of Misfit City live in comfortable, discreet “abodes” inconspicuously carved into the terrain. Misfit City (which occupies twenty of Central Park’s 840 acres) is morally-quarantined from the corrosive influences of Manhattan greed and plutocracy. That seems to change one day when a drifter wanders into Misfit City and dies of a heroin overdose. He is brought back to life by paramedics – a miracle that inspires Granger, the one Misfit who witnessed it, to go searching for life’s deeper meaning on, of all places, the streets of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. He writes philosophical panhandling signs -- and quickly learns that, the more arrogant and self-centered his signs are, the more money he earns. The Park Avenue crowd nurtures his thinking. As time goes on, Granger changes from a mild-mannered people-pleaser to a menace. He gets mouthy and defiant with his Mentor, Virgil and even picks a fight with a local politician Every day for months, he brings a little bit of what he’s learned on the streets of Manhattan back to Misfit City. After fifteen years of relative harmony in Misfit City, there’s a rash of infighting, quarreling and suspicious deaths. One shocking development leads to another, and eventually to Misfit City’s breaking point. ` Like Wolfe’s other work, The Dead Man’s King is hilarious one moment and heartbreaking the next. His adrenaline-fueled storyline and seamless writing make it unpredictable and nearly impossible to put down.

In the third volume of Luke Scull's "gripping"* fantasy epic, the Grim Company must face the immortal race known as the Fade, who seek nothing less than the utter destruction of every man, woman, and child on the continent...In the City of Towers, former rebel Sasha and her comrade Davarus Cole struggle to keep the peace between the warring mages who vie for dominion.

But since his magic is pitiful in the face of the Fade's advanced technology, the Halfmage must rely on his wits alone to save whom he can...And in the frozen north, legendary warrior Brodar Kayne fights a desperate battle for his people. He is running out of time. An ancient evil sealed beneath the mountains is about to break free, an evil that is older than humanity, older than the Fade, older even than the gods--and it will not stop until the entire world is drowned in blood..."--

Download or read book A Dead Man s Tale written by James D. Doss and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Moon, Ute rancher and investigator, isn't afraid to throw the dice even when a man's life is at stake, but when that man is betting against himself and Moon's ability to save him, that makes for some awfully high stakes. Hard times have come to Colorado, and Moon's ranch is feeling the pinch. Investor Samuel Reed has never had that problem. He seems to have a special intuition when it comes to picking stocks and claims to be able to remember the future, which gives him quite a leg up on Wall Street. So it's no surprise that Reed is confident when he makes a wager with Moon's best friend, Granite City Chief of Police Scott Parish, that Parish can't keep him alive. Even when Reed doesn't give them any details beyond the date and time of his impending demise, that's more than enough information for Moon who wants in on the action and is just as confident that he's well on the way to saving his ranch. But Moon's best plans go awry when instead of one homicide on his hands, he ends up with two. James D. Doss infuses the pages of A Dead Man's Tale, the fifteenth in his popular series, with his potent brand of high spirits and homespun humor that has made him a favorite among mystery readers.
