Download or read book The Patch of the Odin Soldier written by Charles L. Grant and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Patch of the Odin Soldier marks the return to action of the intrepid and irrepressible Lincoln Blackthorne. Rambo, Woody Allen, and Indiana Jones all rolled into one, he’s a reluctant adventurer and soldier of fortune who masquerades as a mild-mannered New Jersey tailor. Although he’d rather be home taking the measure of a new suit, there’s always some new high-tech, high-powered criminal ready to take measure of him. Lincoln’s latest adventure takes him from the green mountains of Maine to the white shores of Hawaii in search of the Odin Soldier, an ancient Viking statuette. The small wooden figure is the source of miraculous supernatural power, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could lead to an age of destruction and dictatorship on a global scale. The wrong hands belong to one Florenz Cull, a white-haired, one-eyed, seven-foot giant, whom Lincoln has killed once already, but who keeps coming back for more. Cull has devised a diabolical plan to seize the statue and turn the world into a vast empire under his control. All Blackthorne has to do is stop him… Whether he’s cruising at nine thousand feet in a pilotless plane filled with poison, risking his hide in a red-hot bath of lava, or taking his chances with a red-haired seductress, it’s all in a day’s work for the misfit spy and master tailor out to sew up this case—before it unravels him. If you have an eye for fun, fantasy, and futuristic firepower, Lincoln Blackthorne is the man to watch. (previously published as written by Geoffrey Marsh)

Download or read book The Soft Whisper of the Dead written by Charles L. Grant and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Howard award winner Charles L. Grant has written a vampire novel set in the author's distressing little town of Oxrun Station. It is a region to be found on the same maps as Lovecraft's Arkham and King's Castle Rock. The Soft Whisper of the Dead is the first of the Oxrun tales to be placed in other than a contemporary setting. The first in a trilogy of historical horror novels, it is the account of the evil Count Braslov's attempt to subjugate the Oxrun population to his vampiric will. This first novel of a fast-paced trilogy is fraught with gas-light atmosphere, plucky women, a befuddled constabulary and is filled with the excitement of the classic vampire tale. Great fun!

Book excerpt: It happens without warning. The shadow of the wolf fails on an ordinary man, and death begins to walk within him. Everyone he hates will die. The senior class of New Jersey’s Port Richmond High School is busy planning Halloween “stunts"—practical jokes on a town-wide scale. The school’s new principal has outlawed stunts, but that won’t keep Brian Oakland and his friends out of mischief. After all, they’re not planning anything serious, nothing damaging (except to the principal’s reputation). Others have different ideas. Dominic Pastore’s waited all year for Halloween. His rifle is ready, but Dorn hasn’t decided if he’ll fire blanks or bullets. Rich little Mickie Farwood wants to pull a stunt too, but first must choose between Dorn’s danger and Brian’s innocence. None of them knows that this Halloween will alter their lives forever. The shadow of the wolf has fallen on two men. In England, visiting lecturer Evan Kendal flees a murderous madman once his best friend flees for Port Richmond and home. And in Port Richmond, in the woods that surround the town, another killer waits … waits for Halloween, when those he hates will die. At his bidding the whole town will die.
