Book excerpt: Of all the things ten-year-old Cory Wilson expects to do when he moves to Midway Space Station, saving aliens from humans isn't one. An important conference is about to start at the station, not usually the sort of thing kids care about, not even when the conference is between humans and aliens, and half your family is alien. However, when bullies tease Cory, he ends up in a prohibited area where he overhears some men planning to plant a bomb at the conference. Because the terrorists hide their messages in computer games, no one believes Cory, not even his father, the station director. Kids at school think he’s crazy, some even think aliens should be bombed. The conference starts, the aliens have brought a very important person, and Cory's teacher, one of the terrorists, locks Cory in the classroom. Can he get out in time? If he does, will anyone listen?

Book excerpt: 1906. Lucas Malet was the pen name of English novelist, Mrs. Mary St. Leger Harrison. The author's first novel since The History of Sir Richard Calmady. It begins: Dominic Iglesias stood watching while the lingering June twilight darkened into night. He was tired in body, but his mind was eminently, consciously awake, to the point of restlessness, and this was unusual with him. He had raised the lower sash of each of the three tall, narrow windows to its extreme height, since the first-floor sitting-room, though of fair proportions, appeared close. His thought refused the limits of it, and ranged outward over the expanse of Trimmer's Green, the roadway and houses bordering it, to the far northwest, that region of hurried storm, of fierce, equinoctial passion and conflict, now paved with plaques of flat, dingy, violet cloud opening on smoky rose-red wastes of London sunset. All day thunder had threatened, but had not broken. And, even yet, the face of heaven seemed less peaceful than remonstrant, a sullenness holding it as of troops in retreat denied satisfaction of imminent battle.

Download or read book The Far Horizon written by Michael Prescott and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past century and a half, a wealth of evidence has emerged that is consistent, at least, with the hypothesis of life after death. -Near-death experiences -Deathbed visions -Mediumship -Apparitions -Past-life memories, and memories of a between-lives state Yet even those who are inclined to take this evidence seriously may struggle to make sense of it. How can the idea of an afterlife be integrated into our everyday experience? How can we connect the seemingly nebulous notion of postmortem survival with the hard, tangible reality of life on earth? Through metaphors, images, and analogies-illustrated with dozens of documented cases drawn from the literature of parapsychology-this book suggests ways of looking at life beyond death, not as a baffling anomaly, but as a logical extension of our experience of reality here and now. The hope is that we can learn to see reports of an afterlife as something more than mere ghost stories ... and to sharpen the focus of our gaze on "The Far Horizon."

Book excerpt: Beyond the Far Horizon is based upon the true life story of Alexander Henry, a brave and adventurous young man who, as a fur trader, dared to risk his life and fortune on the vast lakes and in dark forests of the Great Lakes frontier. Henry's life, far from the comforts of the American colonies he left behind, was so dangerous that he was no stranger to the threat of death. As he pursued his fur trade venture during the years between 1760 and 1765, he nearly drowned, starved, and froze to death, and on several occasions, barely escaped being killed by hostile Indians. He was lost, alone in the winter forest, had escaped the charge of a great bear, and was taken prisoner in an Indian attack. Henry survived and prospered not only by his own strength and courage but also with the love and support of his adopted Indian family. Not only did he share the risk and hardships of his family but also came to know and respect the enduring beauty and harmony of Ojibwe culture.

Download or read book Horizon written by Barry Lopez and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES • NPR • THE GUARDIAN From pole to pole and across decades of lived experience, National Book Award-winning author Barry Lopez delivers his most far-ranging, yet personal, work to date. Horizon moves indelibly, immersively, through the author’s travels to six regions of the world: from Western Oregon to the High Arctic; from the Galápagos to the Kenyan desert; from Botany Bay in Australia to finally, unforgettably, the ice shelves of Antarctica. Along the way, Lopez probes the long history of humanity’s thirst for exploration, including the prehistoric peoples who trekked across Skraeling Island in northern Canada, the colonialists who plundered Central Africa, an enlightenment-era Englishman who sailed the Pacific, a Native American emissary who found his way into isolationist Japan, and today’s ecotourists in the tropics. And always, throughout his journeys to some of the hottest, coldest, and most desolate places on the globe, Lopez searches for meaning and purpose in a broken world.
Download or read book Distant Horizon written by Stephanie Flint and published by Infinitas Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Community hides a terrifying secret. Sixty years ago, a hallucinogenic plague annihilated half the world’s population, leading to the formation of a strict Community—an international society that promises its citizens safety, security, and efficiency. To protect everyone from a resurgence of the plague, students are given a daily pill in their teen years and tested with the mandatory Health Scan before entering the adult world. It is boring but safe... Except that Jenna hasn't been taking her daily pill, and a surprise Health Scan was just announced. Terrified she's going to fail the scan, Jenna digs into everything she can find about what happens to those who fail-- And discovers none of them have returned, despite assurances of the Health Scan's safety. Making matters worse, two of the Community's most prominent leaders have arrived on campus in an unprecedented visit, and Jenna's long-thought-dead grandfather decides now would be a great time to try kidnapping her. Turns out he's the leader of a rebellion against the Community and he believes the plague is a cover-up for powers. Normally she would dismiss him as crazy, especially since those leaders have him hauled off to the coolers after she calls for help. But something doesn't sit right. Why was the Health Scan announced last minute? Why did not one, but two world leaders show up to a routine scan? And why is it that plants really are starting to act strangely around her...
