Prophecy states that none of their own would be able to stop The Cracking. The hero of prophecy was awaited. A stranger arrives atop an iron horse, from a blinding light, a stranger to all but the woman Liesh. Her dreams have been haunted by this strangers face for years. He is the man to take up the sacred Sword of Braelor and save the Davioti from their shortsightedness. He is Harley Davidson. His past is fog of disjointed memories and illusive images. The only thing real to him is his love for the woman Liesh. For this woman he agrees to take up Braelors Sword to make things right. A magical stone must be found and restored to stop their impending doom. The Stone of Intent, instrumental in causing their plight, the stone was long ago broken in two and hidden away. Upon the motorcycle that bears his name, Harley and Liesh set out on a quest to retrieve the stone pieces, restore it to its original state and call upon its power in an effort to avert catastrophe. Their road is long and difficult. Evil influences scheme in the background in the guise of the elders and Vellis the god of the dead. Influences determined to stop Harley from completing his task. The would be hero is forced to come to terms with his value system and inborn sense of right and wrong as he counters each and every obstacle that they encounter, and to chose between what he has in the here and now or what he left behind, choices that will ultimately decide the fate of a world.

Download or read book The Rough Riders written by Theodore Roosevelt and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-04-18 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rough Riders was the nickname for one of the three regiments of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry, which Roosevelt helped to form. It was the only regiment to see combat during the Spanish-American War of 1898, in Cuba. Roosevelt resigned his post as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to raise this army with men of very diverse background, ranging from Ivy Leaguers to Native Americans, from athletes to frontiersmen, etc. Theodore Roosevelt wrote about his Rough Riders that: "they were hardened to life in the open, and to shifting for themselves under adverse circumstances. My men were children of the dragon's blood, and if they had no outland foe to fight and no outlet for their vigorous and daring energy, there was always the chance of their fighting one another: but the great majority, if given the chance to do hard or dangerous work, availed themselves of it with the utmost eagerness." Theodore Roosevelt (1858 – 1919) was not only the 26th president of the United States but also a prolific writer. He lent his pen to many different topics, including history, biographies, autobiographies, and nature. He also wrote countless articles, letters, and even guide books. Some of his most famous works include: "The Rough Riders," "History of the Naval War of 1812," "African Game Trails," and "The Winning of the West."

Download or read book Imagined Frontiers written by Carl Abbott and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live near the edge—whether in a settlement at the core of the Rockies, a gated community tucked into the wilds of the Santa Monica Mountains, a silicon culture emerging in the suburbs, or, in the future, homesteading on a terraformed Mars. In Imagined Frontiers, urban historian and popular culture scholar Carl Abbott looks at the work of American artists who have used novels, film, television, maps, and occasionally even performance art to explore these frontiers—the metropolitan frontier of suburban development, the classic continental frontier of American settlement, and the yet unrealized frontiers beyond Earth. Focusing on writers and artists working during the past half-century, an era of global economic and social reach, Abbott describes the dialogue between historians and social scientists seeking to understand these frontier places and the artists reimagining them in written and visual fictions. This book offers perspectives on such well-known authors as T. C. Boyle and John Updike and on such familiar movies and television shows as Falling Down and The Sopranos. By putting The Rockford Files and the cult favorite Firefly in conversation with popular fiction writers Robert Heinlein and Stephen King and literary novelists Peter Matthiessen and Leslie Marmon Silko, Abbott interweaves the disparate subjects of western history, urban planning, and science fiction in a single volume. Abbott combines all-new essays with others previously published but substantially revised to integrate western and urban history, literary analysis, and American studies scholarship in a uniquely compelling analysis of the frontier in popular culture.
