Book excerpt: Why are some of America's best and most respected jockeys suddenly losing big races? And who would kill a ninety-two-year-old bookmaker? ''McEvoy has created a winning protagonist in Chicago turf writer Matt O'Connor, who has an abundance of friends in mostly low places and his finger firmly on the pulse of the national horseracing scene.... [He] is dead-on in his descriptions and accounts of Thoroughbred racing. He also gives us characters we can care about and suspense enough to make the blood race like a stakes-winning sprinter.'' - Booklist starred review ''Horse racing has always attracted a wide range of colorful characters, and McEvoy portrays them all with an obvious affection and a sharp eye, from jockeys, trainers and touts to fans, newsmen and suckers.... charm, racing expertise and a willingness to go the distance that will carry the reader all the way to the finish line.'' - Publishers Weekly Praise for Blind Switch... ''This accomplished first novel set in the world of horse racing is bound to be compared to the novels of Dick Francis....'' - Publishers Weekly starred review

Download or read book Down and Out in Patagonia Kamchatka and Timbuktu written by Gregory Frazier and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever firsthand chronicle of Dr. Gregory W. Frazier’s never-ending motorcycle ride. A little over 40 years ago, a man named Gregory W. Frazier got on his motorcycle, went for a ride, and never returned. He’s still out there, circumnavigating the globe: exploring the jungles of Asia in the winter, trout fishing in Alaska in the summer, and covering all points in between during the rest of the year. He’s been shot at by rebels, jailed by unfriendly authorities, bitten by snakes, run over by Pamplona bulls, and smitten by a product of Adam’s rib. He’s circled the globe five times and has covered well over one million miles (and counting). During those past four decades, Dr. Frazier has been chronicling and photographing his around-the-world adventures, publishing 13 books on the subject (including one previous title for Motorbooks), the majority of which have been manuals for touring specific locations or general how-to-tour-by-motorcycle books. He has also produced 9 documentary DVDs on the same subject. But until now, nothing in print has encompassed the entirety of his worldwide motorcycle adventures. Now, for the first time, he has written his on-the-road autobiography that captures the whole of his extraordinary travels in words and images. Down and Out in Patagonia, Kamchatka, and Timbuktu tells the amazing ongoing story of Dr. Frazier, one of the world’s single most well-traveled motorcyclists.

Download or read book Early Riders written by Robert Drews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this wide-ranging and often controversial book, Robert Drews examines the question of the origins of man's relations with the horse. He questions the belief that on the Eurasian steppes men were riding in battle as early as 4000 BC, and suggests that it was not until around 900 BC that men anywhere - whether in the Near East and the Aegean or on the steppes of Asia - were proficient enough to handle a bow, sword or spear while on horseback. After establishing when, where, and most importantly why good riding began, Drews goes on to show how riding raiders terrorized the civilized world in the seventh century BC, and how central cavalry was to the success of the Median and Persian empires. Drawing on archaeological, iconographic and textual evidence, this is the first book devoted to the question of when horseback riders became important in combat. Comprehensively illustrated, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of civilization in Eurasia, and the development of man's military relationship with the horse.

Book excerpt: Yakima Henry left his ranch cabin in the White Mountains for supplies, and rode right into a bloody shootout between the Saber Creek townsfolk and a gang of predatory banditos who just hit a stagecoach to the tune of $50,000 in cash. But what really riles Yakima is the banditos making off with his prized stallion, Wolf, and a pretty saloon girl named Anjanette. Now, caught between the banditos who think he’s chasing them and the townsfolk who think he’s one of the banditos, he’s going to recover Wolf, the cash, the girl, and his own good name. But what Yakima doesn’t know is that Anjanette isn’t as innocent as she seems. To make it out alive, Yakima must face a gang of cutthroats who unleash a rain of blood wherever they strike—the Thunder Riders.

Book excerpt: "Riders of the Purple Sage" tells the story of Jane Withersteen and her battle to overcome persecution by members of her polygamous Mormon fundamentalist church. A leader of the church, Elder Tull, wants to marry her. Withersteen gets help from a number of friends, including Bern Venters and Lassiter, a notorious gunman and killer of Mormons. She struggles with her "blindness" to the evil nature of her church and its leaders, and tries to keep Venters and Lassiter from killing the adversaries who are slowly ruining her. "The Rainbow Trail" takes place ten years after events of Riders of the Purple Sage. The wall to Surprise Valley has broken, and Jane Withersteen is forced to choose between Lassiter's life and Fay Larkin's marriage to a Mormon.
