A stroll through the grounds leads to a grim discovery beneath the surface of Swan Lake: the body of a successful attorney who made his fortune in international trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book can teach us, scare us, enlighten us, and inspire us. This book will do all of these things. It is a stand-alone book that speaks of an unspeakable part of our society. The abuse and trafficking of women and children. It was born out of the ending of my last book “The Healing House Its Powers Discovered Its History Uncovered” and the awareness of the need to shine a light on the abomination of the century; slavery, human rights, abuse, and help for those enslaved in this global problem. As an author, I hope to make people of all ages alert and aware. Therefore, while the stories are horrific, the explicit details of some of the abuses have been sanitized.

Download or read book Desolation Road written by Ian McDonald and published by Jabberwocky Literary Agency, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all began thirty years ago on Mars, with a greenperson. But by the time it all finished, the town of Desolation Road had experienced every conceivable abnormality; from Adam Black’s Wonderful Travelling Chautauqua and Educational ’Stravaganza (complete with its very own captive angel), to the Astounding Tatterdemalion Air Bazaar. Its inhabitants ranged from Dr. Alimantando, the town’s founder and resident genius, to the Babooshka, a barren grandmother who just wants her own child – grown in a fruit jar; from Rajendra Das, mechanical hobo who has a mystical way with machines to the Gallacelli brothers, identical triplets who fell in love with – and married – the same woman. REVIEWS “Ian McDonald’s Desolation Road is one of my most personally influential novels. It’s an epic tale of the terraforming of Mars, whose sweep captures the birth and death of mythologies, economics, art, revolution, politics... Desolation Road pays homage to David Byrne’s Catherine Wheel, to Ray Bradbury’s entire canon and to Jack Vance, blending all these disparate creators in a way that surprises, delights, then surprises and delights again.” – Cory Doctorow (Boing Boing) “McDonald’s first novel, it absolutely bowled me over when it came out, and while I have read everything he’s published since, and admire all of it and like most of it, this remains my favourite... some of the most beautiful prose imaginable... If you ever want to demonstrate how different science fiction can be, what an incredible range and sweep of things are published with a little spaceship on the spine, Desolation Road is a shining datapoint, because it isn’t like anything else and yet it is coming from a knowledge of what the genre can do and can be and making something new out of it.” – Jo Walton (Tor.com) “This is the kind of novel I long to find yet seldom do. Desolation Road is a rara avis... Extraordinary and more than that!” – Philip José Farmer

Together, with the help of the Nardic Tribes of the South, the elves hope to rescue their lost princess and eradicate the orcish race as a whole in an effort to free the continent of Aerbon from its impending doom at the hands of the orcs. The orcs of the Gorgon lands grew and produced a demonic drug called Guaka-Guaka; causing them to become blood-thirsty and schizophrenic where it tainted them more and more with each use. They were addicted to the foul substance and they claimed that it was a gift from their gods, the Masters, who had initially bestowed it upon them in the long-forgotten Age of Myth. It was refined in factories that blackened the skies and the production of the drug was steadily causing their world to die off as a result. So it was that the elves sought to end their foul existence whilst the orcs fought to maintain their lifestyle, seeing nothing wrong with their actions as they claimed that it was the will of their gods.

Download or read book AfterLife The Desolation written by Pankaj Kumar Shasini and published by One Point Six Technologies Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A best gift for your loved ones. This is a fictional script that touches on topics like death, family, relationship, social expectations, regret and acceptance to deliver some social messages. While this book is an imaginary story, still you will realise – how valuable our life is. Currently, most of us value people for their materialistic assets, not for the kind of people they are. The book takes a bold and decisive look at how we, as humans, try to understand mystical happenings that often occur around us. We ignore this and avoid finding answers to them. We not only see events unfold from its imaginary character’s perspective, but also see how the living try to rationalise events that they do not comprehend.
Download or read book This Magnificent Desolation written by Thomas O'Malley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Duncan's entire world is the orphanage where he lives, a solitary outpost on the open plains of northern Minnesota. Aged ten in 1980, he has no memories of his life before now, but he has stories that he recites like prayers: the story of how his mother brought him here during the worst blizzard of the century; the story of how God spoke to him at his birth and gave him a special purpose. Duncan is sure that his mother is dead until the day she turns up to claim him. Maggie Bright, a soprano who was once the talent of her generation, now sings in a San Francisco bar through a haze of whisky cut with sharp regret. She often finishes up in the arms of Joshua McGreevey, a Vietnam vet who earns his living as part of a tunneling crew seventy feet beneath the Bay. He smells of sea silt and loam, as if he has been dredged from the deep bottom of the world - and his wounds run deep too. Thrown into this mysterious adult world, Duncan finds comfort in an ancient radio, from which tumble the voices of Apollo mission astronauts who never came home, and dreams of finding his real father. A heart-breaking, staggering, soaring novel, This Magnificent Desolation allows a child's perspective to illuminate a dark world, and explores the creeping devastation of war, the many facets of loneliness, the redemptive power of the imagination, and the possibility of a kind of grace.
