Download or read book Ten Lanterns written by Evagoras Evagorou and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story has endured the darkness for half a century. A single match is enough to light up a dark room that hasn’t seen light for years. The match will fuel the branch, the branch will ignite the log, and the fire will heat the room and our hearts. “Story or fairytale, truth or fantasy, fiction or non-fiction”, the mind asks curiously. “What difference does it make? What really matters is what has been awakened inside you and what you are going to do about it”, the heart replies. In Ten Lanterns, author Evagoras Evagorou describes a story rooted in Florence in 1470 and shares the quest for personal transformation that he began in 1993—an experiential journey of three decades inspired by thousands of hours of training and coaching executives and employees. Freeing your body and soul from pain requires a journey to the illuminating stations of your life, something that requires breaking the boundaries of time and space. At the final station, the last route will light the way, and all will become clear. This spiritual memoir tells the story of a man who managed to light the way and lighten the pain with his family’s spiritual heritage and can teach you how to do the same by lighting the Ten Lanterns.

Book excerpt: Hunter Kerrigan, a superbly skilled and highly decorated Force Recon Marine Officer, and son of a former CIA Station Chief is aggressively recruited from the Corps to pursue a career in The Agency. After training at The Farm in Virginia, his first assignment is to find and terminate a former CIA agent and defector turned international assassin, code name Pisces. While tracking Pisces, Hunter faces ambushes by covert agents from three foreign governments. These attacks are peculiarly set up by his own agent runner, sensuous Samantha McGee and her two high echelon CIA bosses. While enmeshed in the hunt for Pisces, three of Kerrigan's former lady friends are hideously murdered with no apparent connection other than he had dated them in the past. The police in three US cities believe it's a serial killer, however, Hunter is convinced it's a means of revenge, and is Pisces' at his most evil. Hunter continues his tenacious search and termination mission, and while doing so becomes involved with a steamy Israeli Mossad operative, Dvorah. Closing on his target, Hunter then discovers that Pisces is also the murderer of his father years before in London. Further, Dvorah is assassinated for assisting him. After tracking Pisces through San Francisco, London, Pisa and the Amalfi coast, he finds the recurrently vanishing Pisces on the Isle of Capri under another alias and living with the widow of a man he murdered early on. Here the mission comes to an end...or does it? And Pisces is terminated...or is he?

There were several years I spent in foster care; and then living with Mom and then Dad, bouncing back and forth a couple of times, until I was a junior in high school. My father moved, but I didn’t.
