Fully a third of the building near the loading dock burst apart, followed by the deafening thunder of a huge explosion, sending masonry and glass flying in all directions. The two guards at the guard house were sitting inside when the blast detonated. The ground shook and the guard house trembled as they leapt up and made for the door. A piece of the main building about the size of a small table sliced through the roof killing the one guard and sending the other head first through the open door and onto the driveway. He staggered to his feet, half conscious and more by instinct than thought, managed to scramble behind the fence as the whole area was covered in pieces of flying debris. Deafening incendiary explosions occurred one after another and the now night sky lit up as the fuel and chemicals in the surviving structure ignited.

Book excerpt: Behind the foreboding walls of Massachusetts Harlowe Institute, scores of mentally impaired patients struggle with daily life, barely getting by on counseling and pills. But, less than an hour away, and as yet unknown to Harlowes afflicted, a champion is on their side. Dr. Jonathan Chastain and a young colleague at a company known as GODS are developing cutting-edge medical techniques holding great promise for the mentally ill. Eventually, GODS new formulations are quietly introduced in clinical trials at Harlowe and other institutions. Dramatic responses across a broad sampling of sick patients shake the medical world. What no one has factored in, however, is the subsequent discovery of unintended consequences of the medicine, patient alterations that scientists heretofore would have judged unimaginable. When word gets out, a mle ensues, as opportunists will observe no bounds in attempts to gain control of the technology. With his small enterprise long on promise but short on capital, Chastain agonizes over the future of his discovery: can he bring to market the brave new methodology or will it merely become a tool in the hands of ill-intentioned politicos?

But little does he know his wife would become a stranger, neglecting their daughter. When at home he is frequently ridiculed and blamed for everything bad that is happening in their surroundings. He turns to a bad habit to keep sane. The only people he has left are his two friends and father who shares his troubled past. Shortly thereafter, his wife files for a divorce. Just then, Wyatt’s life hits rock bottom. But when he thinks his life is over, a random outing with friends changes everything. He meets Sasha Bennett, a young, attractive African American woman who challenges him. At first, he does not think much of her, making comparisons between his present and the weight of the past.

Download or read book Sherlock Holmes The Baker Street Epilogue written by Mark Mower and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the success of the earlier volume, The Baker Street Legacy, we have another collection of previously unknown Holmes and Watson tales that will excite the interests of readers across the globe - The Baker Street Epilogue. A decade before his death, Dr. Watson let it be known that with his passing he wished his nephew, Christopher Henry Watson MD, to be the executor of his will and guardian of all his personal and pecuniary affairs. One of the tasks he sanctioned was that his nephew should use his discretion in selecting for publication some of the three dozen or so cases involving Holmes and Watson which had not already seen the light of day. The six stories in this new volume are more overlooked gems. The first in the collection, The Curse of Cuttleborough, is set in 1883 and sees Holmes and Watson investigating a suspicious death for their client, the famous amateur cricketer Dr. W. G. Grace. The Paradol Chamber has our heroes looking into the affairs of the London-based Prévost-Paradol Society, a social, literary and debating club. From the mystery of The Groaning Stone to the threats posed by The Recalcitrant Rhymester, there is, as always, much to entertain and enthral us. As before, all of these tales are designed to contribute in some small part to the lasting memory of two extraordinary men who once occupied that setting we have come to know and love as 221B Baker Street. As ever, ‘The game is afoot!'
