Download or read book The Lost Spyder written by C. S. Michael and published by . This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was initially dubious that a novel about cars could hold my attention. How wrong I was; by the middle of this text I found myself fascinated by Porsches not only as a plot device, but as a general source of interest as well. The parallel between the quest for a "lost" car and human ambition - for money, power, fame, or immortality - works nicely." - G.H. "The author has accomplished something of which many people only dream. Overall, I'd say that this is a remarkable novel." - M.G. "Michael has a great imagination - I love the premise - and he's a good writer. I thought the dialogue was fine, the characters well-crafted, and the plot well-conceived." - J.K. "Reading this book is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon." - C.W. "It's a rip-roaring mystery. The guy can write!" - J.C. "Great descriptions with all the twists and turns. Ending was surprising! Can't wait for the next one." - J.H. "I purchased THE LOST SPYDER and absolutely could not put it down until I finished it! You have quite a talent for writing. You have a rip-roarin' suspense-filled best seller here, IMHO!" - K.T. "I love this book!" - R.L. John Christian (J.C.) Callahan was once an influential figure in Birmingham, Alabama -- a brash entrepreneur known as much for his hard-edged personality as his business success. Now Callahan is living out his golden years in self-imposed isolation, a tough old man withdrawn from the community and seemingly obsessed with mechanical acquisitions. When he mysteriously disappears with a horse of cash, his estranged daughter Kristen is notified. Kristen Callahan is the sole remaining family that the old man can claim. But she's the mirror image of her father. Instead of embracing his militaristic sense of order, Kristen is a free spirit who seeks wisdom in unexpected places - like palm readings and astrology charts. To locate her father, she contacts a low rent detective and second tier law student named Charlie Byrd. Together they discover that J.C. Callahan has disappeared on a quest. He is searching for a legend. The Porsche 550 Spyder. One of the rarest cars ever built, 550 Spyders are prized by wealthy collectors as valuable works of automotive art. For years, rumors whispered that one such car was stolen and lost forever. Now, after more than five decades, the mythical lost Spyder has finally been found. J.C. Callahan has the Spyder in his grasp, and its shocking secrets will not only change his life -- they also may end it.

Book excerpt: Spider is gaunt, threadbare, unnerved by everything from his landlady to the smell of gas. He tells us his story in a storm of beautiful language that slowly reveals itself as a fiendishly layered construction of truth and illusion. With echoes of Beckett, Poe, and Paul Bowles, Spider is a tale of horror and madness, storytelling and skepticism, a novel whose dizzying style lays bare the deepest layers of subconscious terror.

Download or read book The Quest for Myst written by Victoria Weaver-Morrow and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago, confusion seized the common folk as magickal creatures wreaked havoc upon their world by introducing magick the people did not understand. Kingdoms were torn apart as evil wizards took over. Now, the peaceable people with delicate magick are being hunted and drained of their powers. They must bring down the imposing evil forces if they hope to restore peace and calm in their land. The prince of the commoner's realm, Alexander of the North, thought he had escaped this darkness until the death of his mother made him a warrior-and a hero with a dark secret. Even worse, he's prone to making mistakes. Promising his sister, Victoria, that she would be the new princess of the West is his first mistake; the second is falling in love with Myst, a fair maid from a misty pool. But Myst is more than just a peasant and has power beyond those of the mighty wizard for whom she is an apprentice. When Myst sacrifices herself to save the kingdom from war, Alex gathers an incredible group of people to save her from the clutches of evil. But will Alex's powerful secret come back to haunt him? I was so taken in by Ms. Victoria's prose/storytelling abilities. I found in The Quest for Myst a riveting, captivating, banquet of a tale from an author with an imagination not of this world. To further the enjoyment, just when I thought it safe to sit back and relax in the read, she would drop these lines, these witty pearls of thinking author's humor. It is not often that I suggest books to others, but with The Quest for Myst you simply cannot go wrong. FW Bosworth, Author Never Play Leapfrog with a Unicorn
