SAHARA ADVENTURE SERIES - FOOTSTEPS TO DEATH “Footsteps to Death”, is the sequel to “Witch of the Sahara” by Meiring Fouche’s thrilling Sahara adventure series. Set in the scorching Sahara desert, the story follows Legionnaire Teuns Stegmann whose past encounter with the beautiful but deadly El Karima has left him entangled in her web once more. Can Teuns resist El Karima’s intoxicating charm or will he succumb to the passions that bind them? Six months after betraying El Karima’s love and destroying her Dulac nation, Teuns finds himself drawn back into her clutches when two mysterious riders are ambushed near the desert outpost of Dini Salam. Among their possessions is discovered a locket belonging to none other than El Karima herself, confirming the white princess of the Dulacs is behind the abduction. In exchange for the riders, El Karima demands Teuns be handed over to face punishment for his treachery. But one of the captives is revealed to be Madame Le Clerq, wife of the garrison commander Colonel Le Clerq. Now torn between sacrificing Teuns or his own wife, Le Clerq faces an impossible choice. Against orders, Teuns takes matters into his own hands and escapes into the desert accompanied by El Karima’s envoy, the Arab Kadar Hoessein. Enduring injury and the unrelenting elements, they arrive at El Karima’s encampment. While she still harbors feelings for her betrayer, will her desire for vengeance prevail? Meanwhile, back in Dini Salam, the master escape artist of the Legion, Captain D’Arlan, hatches a daring plan to rescue the hostages and defend the fort against El Karima’s impending attack. But with time running out and lives on the line, has El Karima’s web become inescapable? In this gripping tale of war, betrayal, and forbidden romance, Fouche delivers nonstop adventure and drama. When Teuns refuses to join her tribe and train her men, the stakes climb ever higher as Teuns finds himself in a brutal hand-to-hand duel to the death against Atroek, El Karima’s formidable henchman. Their contest will determine not only Teuns’ fate but that of Madame Le Clerq as well. Karima’s treachery knows no bounds. Consumed by bitterness and the desire for revenge, El Karima condemns Teuns, Madame Le Clerq, and El Saoed to a horrific public execution in Dini Salam. Her promises to return Madame Le Clerq unharmed were but empty words, concealing her true intent. Now along with Teuns and El Saoed, Madame Le Clerq faces a gruesome end bound between wild stallions who will tear them limb from limb. In this racing page-turner, Fouche maintains breathless suspense as the condemned three stand poised on the brink of death. Can the ingenious Captain D’Arlan come up with a daring plan to save Teuns, Madame Le Clerq, and the entire Dini Salam garrison from utter destruction at the hands of the vengeful El Karima? What shocking choice must Colonel Le Clerq make to try and save his beloved wife from a gruesome fate? As El Karima raises her whip, will salvation arrive in time or has she finally outmatched D’Arlan and checkmated Teuns? Brimming with rivalry and passion, and dramatic twists and turns, “Footsteps to Death” captivates from desert ambush to palace showdown. Fouche transports the reader with vibrant details directly into the milieu of the 1930s Sahara. It is a land full of danger and desires in this sweeping tale of warfare, sacrifice, and star-crossed romance set against the perilous backdrop of the unforgiving Sahara.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The night Mrs.Tangye committed suicide with her service-revolver, the maid heard footsteps in the garden which suddenly stopped when she switched on the light! Whose footsteps were they? Did Mrs.Tangye actually commit suicide or, was she murdered? Excerpt: "They were talking of the death of Mrs.Tangye who had been found, yesterday afternoon, sitting dead beside her tea-table, with a service-revolver lying on the floor beside her, and a bullet from it through her heart. The Webley was a souvenir of her days as an officer in the Waacs during the last year of the war, and was kept on a bracket in the room. Her husband had explained to the Coroner that his wife had recently spoken of having her initials engraved on it. He suggested that she must have been looking it over with that in her mind when she had met with her fatal accident."

Download or read book Footsteps written by Richard Holmes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1996-04-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Holmes knew he had become a true biographer the day his bank bounced a check that he had inadvertently dated 1772. Because for the acclaimed chronicler of Shelley and Coleridge, biography is a physical pursuit, an ardent and arduous retracing of footsteps that may have vanished centuries before. In this gripping book, Holmes takes us from France’s Massif Central, where he followed the route taken by Robert Louis Stevenson and a sweet-natured donkey, to Mary Wollstonecraft’s Revolutionary Paris, to the Italian villages where Percy Shelley tried to cast off the strictures of English morality and marriage. Footsteps is a wonderful exploration of the ties between biographers and their subjects, filled with passion and revelations. “Deeply impressive . . . Footsteps is a singular event in the modern history of biography, and in itself a delightful reading experience.”—Alfred Kazin “This exhilarating book, part biography, part autobiography, shows the biographer as sleuth and huntsman, tracking his subjects through space and time.”—The Observer “A modern masterpiece . . . [Holmes is] the most romantic of contemporary biographers and probably the most revolutionary in spirit and form.”—Michael Holroyd, author of Bernard Shaw

Download or read book To Follow in Their Footsteps written by Nicholas L. Paul and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the First Crusade ended with the conquest of Jerusalem in 1099, jubilant crusaders returned home to Europe bringing with them stories, sacred relics, and other memorabilia, including banners, jewelry, and weapons. In the ensuing decades, the memory of the crusaders' bravery and pious sacrifice was invoked widely among the noble families of western Christendom. Popes preaching future crusades would count on these very same families for financing, leadership, and for the willing warriors who would lay down their lives on the battlefield. Despite the great risks and financial hardships associated with crusading, descendants of those who suffered and died on crusade would continue to take the cross, in some cases over several generations. Indeed, as Nicholas L. Paul reveals in To Follow in Their Footsteps, crusading was very much a family affair.Scholars of the crusades have long pointed to the importance of dynastic tradition and ties of kinship in the crusading movement but have failed to address more fundamental questions about the operation of these social processes. What is a "family tradition"? How are such traditions constructed and maintained, and by whom? How did crusading families confront the loss of their kin in distant lands? Making creative use of Latin dynastic narratives as well as vernacular literature, personal possessions and art objects, and architecture from across western Europe, Paul shows how traditions of crusading were established and reinforced in the collective memories of noble families throughout the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Even rulers who never fulfilled crusading vows found their political lives dominated and, in some ways, directed by the memory of their crusading ancestors. Filled with unique insights and careful analysis, To Follow in Their Footsteps reveals the lasting impact of the crusades, beyond the expeditions themselves, on the formation of dynastic identity and the culture of the medieval European nobility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy McClean is a Lakota boy—though you wouldn’t guess it by his name: his father is part white and part Lakota, and his mother is Lakota. When he embarks on a journey with his grandfather, Nyles High Eagle, he learns more and more about his Lakota heritage—in particular, the story of Crazy Horse, one of the most important figures in Lakota and American history. Drawing references and inspiration from the oral stories of the Lakota tradition, celebrated author Joseph Marshall III juxtaposes the contemporary story of Jimmy with an insider’s perspective on the life of Tasunke Witko, better known as Crazy Horse (c. 1840–1877). The book follows the heroic deeds of the Lakota leader who took up arms against the US federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people, including leading a war party to victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Along with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse was the last of the Lakota to surrender his people to the US army. Through his grandfather’s tales about the famous warrior, Jimmy learns more about his Lakota heritage and, ultimately, himself. American Indian Youth Literature Award

Book excerpt: In the spellbinding and suspenseful Let Me Die in His Footsteps, Edgar Award winner for Best Novel, author Lori Roy wrests from a Southern town the secrets of two families touched by an evil that has passed between generations. On a dark Kentucky night in 1952, exactly halfway between her fifteenth and sixteenth birthdays, Annie Holleran crosses into forbidden territory. Everyone knows Hollerans don't go near Baines, not since Joseph Carl was buried two decades before, but Annie runs through her family's lavender fields toward the well on the Baines’ place, hoping to see her future in the water. Instead, she finds a body, and Annie's future becomes inextricably tied with her family's dark past. In 1936, the year Annie's aunt, Juna Crowley, came of age, there were seven Baine boys. Before Juna, Joseph Carl had been the best of all the Baine brothers. But then he looked into Juna's black eyes and they made him do things that cost innocent people their lives. With the pall of a young child’s death and the dark appetites of men working the sleepy town into a frenzy, Sheriff Irlene Fulkerson saw justice served—or did she? As the investigation continues and she comes of age as Aunt Juna did in her own time, Annie's dread mounts. Juna will come home now, to finish what she started. If Annie is to save herself, her family, and this small Kentucky town, she must prepare for Juna's return, and the revelation of what really happened all those years ago.
