Book excerpt: Imagine: You've just found out you have nine brothers. Identical to you in every way. Except for the gene that made one of them a killer-- Artie Singleton's mother was dead. But among her possessions lay a letter. And inside was a secret that would shatter her son's world: In 1963, a shocking experiment at a famous fertility clinic had cloned ten identical male children from a single donor embryo. Artie Singleton was one of them. Artie, a successful San Francisco entrepreneur, is now searching for his nine brothers. He assumes they will look just like him. But Artie finds some things he didn't expect: a sociopath among the clones determined to kill off the others--and a terrifying truth about their gene pool that could spell Artie's doom, or give him the cunning to stay alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just out of prison after ten years, professional poker player Jimmy Spain visits his wealthy former cell mate and listens to an offer he can't refuse. The rich man wants the ex-con to mentor his only child in the game of poker. In return, he'll set Jimmy up and pay all of his buy-ins on the poker tour. This deal looks like easy money, especially after Jimmy meets the kid--a cocky and abrasive young girl named Kat who has some good, yet raw, poker skills. Soon Jimmy and Kat enter a World Poker Tour tournament at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Things are coming up aces...until a player is found brutally slain with a Picasso flop--three picture cards--on his body. When suspicion points to Kat as the killer, it's up to Jimmy to find the real culprit--while fighting to remain in the tournament. As one ghastly murder after another knocks out other players, this hard-bitten veteran of the felt knows that in this cutthroat world of card sharks, someone could eliminate him--or Kat--for good. On the clock, with the blinds escalating, and down to his last hand, Jimmy fears he may be drawing dead. Featuring the appearances of such poker luminaries as Mike Sexton, Doyle Brunson, and James Woods, and cowritten by a true impresario of the game, THE PICASSO FLOP mixes money, mystery, and the adrenaline-pumping excitement of Texas hold'em poker action, Vegas-style. Shuffle up and read.

Download or read book Hope s Fool written by William H. White and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-12-09 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where are the voices of vision and reason as we gaze timidly, even somewhat fearfully, into this new millennium? Where, the impossible dreamers we knew? The likes of Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead, Albert Schweitzer, Aldous Huxley, Isaac Asimov? All gone now. Carl Sagan left us, ever so quietly. One such a voice, even if lacking their clout and complexity, is that of William H. White. In his book, "Hopes Fool", humanist counselor White shares our loss of such giants, and prods us to keep dreaming where they left off. While many of today's thinkers steer us toward a Third Way between Capitalism and Socialism; here the author briefly seizes the helm of our imagination to describe a Fourth Way looming on the horizon. A world of SERMATION (Service-Information-Automation) made possible by our almost daily technological breakthroughs. Although humanist White seldom champions either Left or Right, this idealistic, little book springs from Progressive/Populist roots. It swims boldly against many of our stronger consumerist and conservative tides. Affirming what many of us have long suspected. That we've clearly reached a momentous and evolutionary watershed in the human story. Many old, cultural standbys are being drained of social significance as we move into this new age. A time we must ALL enter, ready or not! Since closing out the Cold War, the U.S. (and much of the world) have often rejected many collective considerations and participatory solutions out of hand. Is this really wise? As we embrace the marketplace, deluged with data, how many of us delude ourselves that some great peak of democratic achievement is being scaled? Likely not too many! Not when bureaucratic bumbling or corporate callousness confront us whichever way we turn. White suggests our machines may yet free individuals in ways we'd never dreamed possible. The results may astonish us. At its core this is a work of great hope and optimism - yet could we fail again, as we have so frequently in the twentieth century? With progress, so much pain. A world divided. Even as we're dragged closer together! In chronicling our times for grandchildren who won't read this book for years to come, White poses the ultimate question. Did we rise or fall? He will never know - but they will. If they're here to read it! Meanwhile, the rest of us are....

Download or read book From Cellmates to Soulmates written by Mark W. Heisler and published by Virtualbookworm Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about customer relationship management, just not in the typical sense. Let's be honest. The people responsible for maintaining customer relationships in your company don't get along. Sales and service don't share the same goals; they don't coordinate work; they barely communicate. Is it any wonder customers come and go as if they're moving through a revolving door? The authors describe in practical, real world terms how to integrate (literally) a company's sales efforts with its service delivery. When sales and service work together to develop and maintain healthy relationships with customers, the company achieves greater profitability by improving customer acquisition, and building customer loyalty with a purpose: to generate repeat, recurring and referral sales.

Download or read book Cellmates Our Lessons in Cancer Life Love and Loss written by Rose T Clark and published by Saraband. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘‘I’m Rose. John and I shared nearly eight years of our lives together. This is our story: a story of how two ordinary people live with the diagnosis, the check-ups, the disappointments, the relief, the questions, the answers, the operations, the recovery, the emergencies, the denial, the acceptance, the anger, the pain, the loss, the love, the fear, the frustration – and the happiness.’ Shortly before he died, John made Rose promise to share their story – to tell what they had learned, practically and emotionally, and convey the hope they found even in the darkest of times. He had discovered her hidden stash of letters and diary entries, which she’d been writing to keep herself sane, neither censoring nor intending them to be read. The result is an astonishing, searingly honest, real-time account that reveals our profound capacity for love and how the human spirit can endure the most harrowing of tests to emerge dauntless, flying free. (Caution: contains graphic descriptions of suffering that some may find distressing.)

Book excerpt: An enthralling, historically rich, small-town mystery in which a teen works with her deceased sister to solve an assumed murder. Sixteen-year-old Clara Morris is facing an awkward summer with her father in the tiny upstate town of Redmarch Lake. Clara’s relationship with her parents—and with life in general—has been strained since she lost her twin sister, Zoe, when the girls were eight. As a child, her sister had been her whole world—they even shared a secret invented twin language. Clara has managed to rebuild herself as best she can, but she still feels a hole in her life from the absence of her twin, and she suspects she always will. She soon finds that Redmarch Lake, where her father’s family has lived for generations, is a very unusual place. The townspeople live by odd rules and superstitions. The eerily calm lake the town is named for both fascinates and repels her. The town’s young people are just as odd and unfriendly as their parents. Clara manages to befriend the one boy willing to talk to an outsider, but he disappears during a party in the woods. The next day, he is found dead in the lake under mysterious circumstances. The townspeople all treat this as a tragic accident. Clara isn’t buying it, but she doesn’t know what to do until she receives a mysterious note hinting at murder—a note written in the language she shared with her twin sister, Zoe.

Download or read book The Journey of Joenes written by Robert Sheckley and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Journey of Joenes, also published as Journey Beyond Tomorrow, tells the tale of a picaresque journey through an imagined future taken by a naive and innocent man unprepared for the wonders and oddities he encounters. Sheckley examines the present through the distorting lens of a future wonderfully skewed from, and yet darkly, hilariously similar to, our own world. From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers, and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. Open Road is proud to republish his acclaimed body of work, with nearly thirty volumes of full-length fiction and short story collections. Rediscover, or discover for the first time, a master of science fiction who, according to the New York Times, was “a precursor to Douglas Adams.” “I have always loved Robert Sheckley. . . . I don’t know of anyone else in SF who has written quite so many classic stories . . . wittier than Pohl . . . blacker than Lenny Bruce, subtler and more bent that the Firesigns and Monty Python put together . . . The key words with Sheckley are clever, deadly cool and crazy as a bedbug.” —Spider Robinson

Book excerpt: Certain lines define a movie. Marlene Dietrich in Morocco: “Anyone who has faith in me is a sucker.” Too, there are lines that fit actor and character. Mae West in I’m No Angel: “I’m very quick in a slow way.” Jane Fonda in California Suite: “Fit? You think I look fit? What an awful shit you are. I look gorgeous.” From the classics to the grade–B slasher movies, over 11,000 quotes are arranged by over 900 subjects, like accidents, double entendres, eyes (and other body parts!), ice cream, luggage, parasites, and ugliness. Each quote gives the movie title, production company, year of release, speaker of the line, and, when appropriate, a comment putting the quote in context.

Download or read book Meet Me at the Apex written by Steven Townsend and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever revel in the wonder of your inner world? Ever wonder if ours is a universe that smiles with us when we grow and evolve, and its processes are nurturance to that end? Meet Me at the Apex smiles, and yet it will shake you from your comfort zone and goad you toward transcendence---whatever your path. This novel is hilarious at times and will carry you to heights of joy, and yet is capable of dragging you through pits of sorrow; it is sublime and ethereal, and yet there are moments when it is sensual, raw and earthy; it is iconoclastic and controversial, and yet it celebrates as sacred each person's belief and path. This diary of protagonist Joshua Denton's 3-day stream of consciousness while buckled by illness forces readers to inspect even their most entrenched beliefs, whether God-fearing or atheistic. His hiatus quickly becomes a luring toward epiphany, his path to which is intense processing of events and enigmas.
