Book excerpt: THE STOLEN FLAMEThe Elysian Civilisation, once seen as godly beings, all but vanished long before recorded history, leaving behind a great legacy in the form of the Elysian Gifts; items said to hold divine power. Empires rose and fell in pursuit of these coveted items, cities and nations burned to ash by those who sought to abuse them, yet hope remained that one day they would be used for a greater good. The last known gift, the Key of Elysia, was held by a Roman general purged from history, thought lost to the ravages of time until the discovery of an island off the coast of Madagascar, locked in a millennia-old storm.Upon his rediscovery of The Key, Locke College researcher Adam Thorne is recruited into the search for the Elysian Gifts, a task set for him by billionaire industrialist Lucius Hart. Adam and his team will soon learn that there is more to these artefacts than what appears on the surface; great powers, secret histories, and ancient conspiracies long forgotten make themselves known. Their journey begins in an ancient shrine, hidden deep within the Mojave Desert.

Book excerpt: This book is a fun, enticing and evocative read. The pace is steady yet suspenseful with several unexpected twists. It is easy to understand and empathize with the main character. - Amazon Reviewer Not only was the story captivating but the descriptions in the book really made me feel as if I was there seeing everything through Flame's eyes! - Amazon Reviewer My name is Vivian Marie Travis. Before I turned twenty-one, my future was shiny and bright. My two closest friends were throwing me a surprise birthday adventure and the fact that I was head over heels for one of them, the anticipation kept me up most nights. His name, Liam, and he was who I wanted to be my first. I'd fantasized for weeks about it, a threaded weave of passion that should have been the encore performance to an evening ripe with teasing, pranks, and surprises. Because we're like that. Or, we were like that. I never turned twenty-one. Not as Vivian. That life ended overnight. My name and everything that I looked forward to was stolen from me. At first, I thought Liam was the one putting the hood over my head and dragging me from my bed the night before our big day. I never even entertained the notion of hoping it was him. I knew it was, but I was wrong. Had I known I made the list of seven young woman to be taken by Mason Wilde to participate in this years Chamber, they wouldn't have taken me without a fight.I soon learned the difference between granting consent and consent being stripped away. I soon learned the true meaning of performance-a presentation to an audience, an actor pretending to be someone and something else. Now I am Flame, and I live in a world of lights and shadows, a sequence of chambers and shame. However, hope still flickers deep inside of me, where she hides-where Vivian continues holding her breath, pleading, desperately trying to convince me that we will someday wake up from this nightmare. As long as she refuses to surrender, then neither will I. *** Stolen Flame initiates readers into the dark captive romantic saga and astonishingly human characters surrounding and trapped inside The Chamber. While each book serves as a stand-alone read, Stolen Flame best orients the reader to the series. With dramatic and emotional highs and lows, this steamy romance novel leans toward a happily-ever-after ending. 18+

Download or read book Stealing Fire written by Steven Kotler and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Bestseller CNBC and Strategy + Business Best Business Book of the Year It’s the biggest revolution you’ve never heard of, and it’s hiding in plain sight. Over the past decade, Silicon Valley executives like Eric Schmidt and Elon Musk, Special Operators like the Navy SEALs and the Green Berets, and maverick scientists like Sasha Shulgin and Amy Cuddy have turned everything we thought we knew about high performance upside down. Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000 hours, these trailblazers have found a surprising short cut. They're harnessing rare and controversial states of consciousness to solve critical challenges and outperform the competition. New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler and high performance expert Jamie Wheal spent four years investigating the leading edges of this revolution—from the home of SEAL Team Six to the Googleplex, the Burning Man festival, Richard Branson’s Necker Island, Red Bull’s training center, Nike’s innovation team, and the United Nations’ Headquarters. And what they learned was stunning: In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states provide. Today, this revolution is spreading to the mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar underground economy and forcing us to rethink how we can all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives. Driven by four accelerating forces—psychology, neurobiology, technology and pharmacology—we are gaining access to and insights about some of the most contested and misunderstood terrain in history. Stealing Fire is a provocative examination of what’s actually possible; a guidebook for anyone who wants to radically upgrade their life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
