Download or read book The Silence of the Shaggy Rug written by Daniel Jacob and published by Libri Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the long tradition of the anti-hero in English literature, award-winning author Daniel Jacob has created a whole bunch of them - each able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Flashman or anyone from the pages of a Waugh novel. With the touch of a Tom Sharpe for grand farce, the grotesque Crooke-Wells siblings trace their mean, mendacious and downright nasty steps through a series of plots and pitfalls in their attempt to accumulate unearned and entirely unmerited wealth. Standing like a beacon in this sea of iniquity is the mother, whose string of illicit love affairs seems positively honest by comparison. This is the story of an upper-crust English family which is part of a sub-group known as The Hereditary Rich. Beautifully written and splendidly wicked, The Silence of the Shaggy Rug is not for the faint-hearted or politically correct.

But Emily’s gumption goes for naught when she dies unexpectedly and leaves the house to Jill—along with all of her problems . . . and her enemies.

Book excerpt: “Grab this one.” —Dawn, Goodreads.com THE BATTLE FOR HUMAN EVOLUTION BEGINS NOW. Centuries ago, humans colonised Jørn, a lonely planet on the far side of the galaxy, only to discover that the planet was killing them. The culprit, a native spore, carried on every wind to every corner of the globe. Blending Earth and Jørn DNA saved their crops and livestock, but for humans there was no cure. Instead they took to the skies, turning their colony ships into floating cities that hovered out of the spore’s reach. Today. Hero Regan is a freak; she hears voices, the kind only she can hear. Force medicated and isolated, her only solace is Fink, a six-hundred-kilogram, genetically engineered ruc-pard. They share lives, thoughts, triple-chocolate marshmallow ice-cream and the burning desire for freedom. Their chance comes when Hero is allowed to attend an academy in Cumulus City, but in this super city nothing is as it seems. As Hero is drawn into an ancient conspiracy where two secret societies will stop at nothing to control human evolution, she must decide how much she’s willing to risk to gain her freedom. Hero is the first book in an action-packed YA sci-fi series, featuring psychic mutant animal companions, illegal street races and a kick-ass heroine who won’t take no for an answer.
