But assigning her to dangerous cases and watching her rush into situations without a second thought... I won't do that. I can't because my feelings for Summer go so much deeper than just friendship. All I need is for her to cross the wrong person, and knowing Summer, it's bound to happen, so I relegate her to a desk job as far away from the action as possible.

Pursuit Among the Ruins: A Short Story by Daniel McInerny by Daniel McInerny (1 Review)    Price verified 6 minutes ago

"Pursuit Among the Ruins" is a new short story about the early life of Benedict Aquila, the God-haunted friend of Kate Montclair from Daniel McInerny's novel, The Good Death of Kate Montclair (Chrism Press 2023, and available right here on Amazon). The story comprises an episode from Benedict's schooldays at Holy Rood College, an independent, all-male Catholic boarding school in the Yorkshire Dales. What could possibly inspire the alienated and atheistic Benedict to go on a four-day Easter pilgrimage to the ruined medieval abbeys of Yorkshire? Her name is Dolores. She is a student at Holy Rood's sister school, Immaculate Heart of Mary, who, with some other IHM girls, has joined the group of Holy Rood boys for the pilgrimage. But the reasons why Benedict finds Dolores attractive are inscrutable -- most of all to himself. She is "plainer than the plainest nun," or according to the official dormitory lexicon, "spectacularly unspectacular." Yet she seems to Benedict to be protecting a mysterious hidden life, and in his desire to plumb that mystery, Benedict is drawn into a most surprising encounter among the ruins of Whitby Abbey -- an encounter in which we can detect the spark of Benedict's later, adult preoccupation with the renovation of ancient buildings and, more significantly, with the Shadow in that toppled sanctuary that seems both to reject and to pursue him.

Deuce Mora Mystery Series Vol. 4-5 Plus Maximum Impact (The Deuce Mora Series Book 7) by Jean Heller (266 Reviews)    Price verified 15 minutes ago

Three gripping thrillers featuring hard-hitting reporter Deuce Mora - and a twisty, pulse-pounding Watergate-type cover-up of a massive plane crash A Jean Heller read guarantees an intricate, action-packed mystery. Here are three of her best: a locked-room murder puzzle embedded in a contemporary mob mystery, an international crime ring embedded in corrupt government, and a government cover-up that loops and careens to a shocking climax. Fiery, tough, athletic, and a dirty fighter when she has to be, journalist Deuce Mora tends to lean more heavily on her "investigative reporter" profile than her "lead columnist" title strictly requires. Rather than shying away from fights, she tends to pick them. Cases in point: Ill Wind and Black Marsh. She didn't have to go there. But she always does. Ill Wind Veteran reporter Deuce Mora is awakened in the pre-dawn hours and called to the scene of a gruesome hanging to identify the body of a dear friend, an FBI agent on the verge of taking down one of Chicago's biggest Mob operations. Deuce knows it's murder, but the authorities have no choice but to call it a suicide - the death scene was triple-locked from the inside. Black Marsh Deuce discovers a whole new dimension of danger when she wakes up in a swamp next to a plane crash, with no memory of how she got there - and in no shape to argue with the mysterious swamp hermit who claims he needs to hide her from the search helicopters circling above. He's the only help that's coming, since the forces of what passes for law and order in remote Joe Pye County are led by a sadistic sheriff steeped in the corruption Deuce came to investigate.

Investigating the deadliest accident in U.S. aviation history in which a new plane's engine disintegrated, reporter Steve Pace uncovers a Watergate-type cover-up involving the government and industrial leaders.

Last First Kiss (Hope Falls: Dorsey Men Book 3) by Melanie Shawn (2,738 Reviews)    Price verified 19 minutes ago

They say time heals all wounds, but can it also grow new love? Hope Falls was a fresh start for Logan Dorsey whether he wanted one or not. After years as an undercover detective in New York, he needed to decompress. At least that was what he was telling people. The truth was a little more complicated than that. He'd been fighting demons no one knew about, and the only thing that kept the darkness at bay was thinking of the blonde, blue-eyed beauty that was his lighthouse in a sea of PTSD. But since Emma also happened to be his deceased best friend's widow, he knew he had to keep his distance... which proved to be difficult to do when she ended up staying under his roof. Hope Falls was the last place Emma Locke had ever thought she'd visit. But when her son, who is supposed to be at summer camp decided to take an impromptu trip to see his godfather to find out about his dad who passed six years earlier, that's exactly where she ended up. She decided to use the time to finish the book that was due to her editor months earlier. Losing her husband tragically had caused her to have a massive case of writer's block. As a romance author, inspiration as a single mom and widow was nonexistent. Well, that wasn't entirely true. It existed in the form of her late-husband's best friend. Logan awakened her dormant desires in ways she never dreamed possible, and she wrote that sort of thing for a living. The only question was, whether or not to turn her fantasies into realities. Author's Note: Last First Kiss (formerly titled Magic Kiss) is a single mom, hot cop, forced proximity, forbidden love, small town romance. The recipe for this HEA is one-part chiseled, ovary-tingling alpha hero, one-part stunning, off-limits romance author heroine, mix in a handful of well-meaning *cough* meddling family and friends, sprinkle with a dash of humor, add a handful of swoon-inducing heart, and serve with a large side of holy-hotness, mouthwatering sexy time. Bon appetite.

At 12-years-old, I became a dark wizard--following the left-hand path. As Robert Frost wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood and I--I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." It wasn't an easy decision--I fought it. Most normal people like to think of themselves as 'good'--even the shitty ones. Few have the balls to declare, 'I am evil.' I embraced who I was--what I was--why I was, and where I was going. I remember my sifu's promise to me, "If your destiny is to become a dark wizard, I'll make sure you become the darkest wizard ever." The sifu who spoke these words to me was my father--he died over six years ago. Effectively, I signed his death warrant with my decision to become dark, and who I chose to call 'master.' I embraced my darkness, are you ready to do the same? CONCUSSION: a thought form, expelled violently, which bends the universe. (Primitives call this a spell.) Magick, black and white, is real. Wizards--who've learned a few simple things enabling them to bend reality--are real. Chi--emotional energy wizards release--is real. CONCUSSION MAGICK: cutting-edge; cross-genre; non-genre.

How Much of The Kingdom of God Are YOU Experiencing? A Bit? Some? Not Enough? Many believers lead lives of unavowed defeat, quiet desperation, and long for more in their lives and walk with God. The victory, fire, living waters, and abundant life they were promised, somehow elude them. Has Christianity failed them? Has the Church dropped the ball? Is there something more? Something... better? The answer to all these questions is an emphatic yes! The Kingdom of God was the central theme of Jesus' teachings. And yet, it has been (and still is) one of the most neglected and misunderstood teachings in Church history. Just as it was in Jesus' days, many are still bound by the 'doctrines and commandments of men' today (Mark 7:7, Matthew 15:9). The results of this Kingdom neglect, which are found in most denominations today and in the lives of their congregants, are disquieting at best. In Kingdom Fundamentals, Sebastien Richard invites you to undertake and pursue your own 'Kingdom Quest' by dropping the shackles of religion,redefining your purpose, and rediscovering the Kingdom God 'prepared for you since the creation of the world.' Within these pages, you will... ? Gain a clear understanding of God's mighty government, and how it applies to your life here on earth ? Renew your understanding of the Gospel and mission of Christ ? Marvel at the King of Heaven's rules of engagement ? Understand God's goodness and promises in a whole new light ? Recognize the crippling effects of a religious mindset ? Redefine and strengthen your Kingdom identity ? Rethink your way towards God's Kingdom abundance, and much more! For God the Father, the Kingdom was meant to be our immeasurable inheritance! For Jesus, His legendary legacy! And for the Holy Spirit, our dynamic destiny! The greatest issue with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God today is that believers think they already know and understand it. So, if you think you already know the Kingdom of God and its message, ...

When it was Dark by Guy Thorne (33 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

"I, Joseph of Arimathea, took the body of Jesus, the Nazarene, from the tomb where it was first laid and hid it in this place." A press report on this discovery just outside Jerusalem says: "There now seems no shadow of doubt that the disappearance of the body of Christ from the first tomb is accounted for, and the Resurrection as told in the Gospels did not take place. Joseph of Arimathea here confesses that he stole away the body, probably in order to spare the Disciples and friends of the dead Teacher, with whom he was in sympathy, the shame and misery of the final end to their hopes." This is proof, welcomed by many, that Jesus was not who he claimed to be, the Son of God, but was nothing more than a good teacher who was treated cruelly by those in authority. Churches quickly empty. Over a year, society begins to break down around a world with no traditional standard to live by. A young curate, a journalist, and a music hall singer who is the mistress of a famous man, put their lives in danger as they set out to discredit the discovery, believing that a wealthy, militant atheist could be responsible for the hoax -- if indeed it is a hoax. This story by popular fiction writer Guy Thorne was first published in 1903. Dan Brown was definitely not the first writer to imagine the Christian faith under threat from archaeology!

The reader shares the optimistic plans of a young girl, her hopes and her youthful optimism - all of which are successively dashed by a repressive society dominated by men.

Ahmadullah Rahmani was born in Afghanistan in 1947.

"The Loop of Reality" is the graphical-logical expression of a unitary and interconnected reality. The readers of "The Loop of Reality" will enjoy how the Loop's innovative spirituality and logic emerge from Eastern- and Western- philosophy. "The Loop of Reality" describes in what way positive- and negative- feedback loops are models of information that explain the construction and destruction of any form of reality. The Loop illustrates, furthermore, with its four colour-coded states, how our Macro-physical existence emerges via its interconnections with the Virtuality and Wholeness of the Collective Unconscious, Quantum Physics and Emptiness. The philosophical logic of "The Loop of Reality" enables the comprehension of Humankind's destiny through the evolution of perception, emotions, sentiency and free-will. "The Loop of Reality" explains, in the end, in what way Humanity reaches the highest level of consciousness via a regenerative design on every level of Civilisation.

Hint: New Testament tithing has nothing to do with Malachi 3 or any scripture in the bible -- The documented relationship between tithing and the greatest con job in history -- Biblical guidance on whether you should prioritize paying your bills, or paying a tithe -- Biblical evidence why you are more blessed by giving an offering than a tithe -- Why some givers prosper while others never do -- Godly attitudes for financial prosperity -- And much more! In these last days the Spirit of God is removing the scales and curtains, and revealing to the church the errors that have held it back for centuries. It is time to get from under the curse of Malachi 3 and walk in the freedom you have earned in Christ! Reader's Comment Open my eyes to the true meaning of Giving I love the book as a supplement to understanding the Christian law around tithing.

Tempest: Geometries of Play (Landmark Video Games) by Judd Ethan Ruggill (University of Michigan Press) (6 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Atari's 1981 arcade hit Tempest was a "tube shooter" built around glowing, vector-based geometric shapes. Among its many important contributions to both game and cultural history, Tempest was one of the first commercial titles to allow players to choose the game's initial play difficulty (a system Atari dubbed "SkillStep"), a feature that has since became standard for games of all types. Tempest was also one of the most aesthetically impactful games of the twentieth century, lending its crisp, vector aesthetic to many subsequent movies, television shows, and video games. In this book, Ruggill and McAllister enumerate and analyze Tempest's landmark qualities, exploring the game's aesthetics, development context, and connections to and impact on video game history and culture. By describing the game in technical, historical, and ludic detail, they unpack the game's latent and manifest audio-visual iconography and the ideological meanings this iconography evokes.

The Heart of Shattered Time: The Asoju of Yemaya Asopo by Kyrja Price verified 2 hours ago

Using the mysterious Mimo Stone in the depths of the sea in a desperate attempt to discover how she might help to send the hidden child, Iyika, to the long-ago past, so that the malicious spirits known as the Ajogun would be unable to use the child to take physical form within the Àye - realms of the living - R'ya, herself, was taken to the long-ago past. There, she met a much younger version of Alagbato, the first Olori Guardian of the seven Okin Stones, who told her she must place something of value she had possessed before being named as the Asoju of Yemaya into a container filled with water from the depths of the sea. She chose the three seashells remaining from a necklace she had once made while living alone on the seashore many years ago. Eshu, the Spirit of the Crossroads, later gave these seashells to Idaji to ensure that R'ya would not be sent to the long-ago past when Iyika, the hidden child, was taken there by those who had gathered together to make this task possible. But when the Spirit of the Crossroads gave the seashells to Idaji, he did not anticipate that, in the moment of transition between the present time to the long-ago past, the adult version of Iyika would call R'ya to a place outside of time. Nor did those who made it possible for the child to be taken to the long-ago past know that Idaji had a shade of an Ajogun within him. Because Idaji had the shade within him, and because he was yet holding one of R'ya's seashells when she was taken to the long-ago past, so that she would be anchored to the present, time shattered - creating chaos throughout the Butaka. Although R'ya remained in the present time, Idaji was sent to a time one hundred years in the past. In order to restore time to its natural course, Olokun, the Spirit of the Depths, tells Idaji he must accompany a young man by the name of Asopo - who has just been named as the Asoju of Yemaya - to complete his Ibukun Okin journey to restore the seven Okin Stones throughout the Butaka. ...

Ancient Egypt, Secrets from the Manuscript of Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, circa 1370 B.C. by M.G. Hawking (14 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This book reveals the profound secret knowledge of the Egyptian Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, who lived and authored her esoteric manuscripts under the patronage of the great Kings of Egypt, Amenhotep III and his successor Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), over three-thousand-three-hundred years ago. Kalika produced this manuscript for important reasons. It is to some extent a manual, a comprehensive guide to reaching higher awareness, written by a supreme master for masters, but not only for masters. Kalika intended that it could be utilized by persons of requisite ability to understand and reach, through their own efforts, significantly expanded levels of awareness. It sets forth the fundamental recognitions and essential principles of consciousness necessary to attain extraordinary perceptive abilities and personal powers. Author's Note: "In the ongoing task of penetrating the incredible mysteries of Ancient Egypt, I have endeavored in this book to accomplish the last part of an assignment which I accepted many years ago, to compose an in-depth account of what we know of Kalika-Khenmetaten and her brilliant writings. I wish to tell as much as I can of the contributions her genius has made to the heritage of mankind, and to chronicle and contemplate, in their causes and results, the wisdom of her philosophy and the achievements of her art. I do not need to be told in its very conception how immodest this endeavor is; many years of effort have made it clear that no one mind, and no single lifetime, can adequately encompass this task simply because the story of Kalika is one of the most epic in history and her writings reveal the great knowledge and power of the masters of distant ages. "Writing an account of Kalika-Khenmetaten shares the presumptuousness of every philosophical enterprise, for it strives to mark in mortal words immortal things. Nevertheless, it is my greatest hope, despite the many errors inevitable in this undertaking, that this book may be of profound ...

Operation Firedog (Yeoman Series Book 9) by Robert Jackson (Lume Books) (489 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

The Second World War is over, but not for everyone... Veteran Wing Commander George Yeoman is still flying Spitfires. Yeoman and his men are working with the Malayan government to fight the Malayan Communist Party. It is a brutal guerrilla war, right in the heart of the jungle. After a carefully calculated sequence of bloody murders -- British policemen and planters, their wives and children -- the government of Malaya can no longer avoid open conflict with the Malayan Communist Party, whose strength lies in its guerrilla regiments operating from deep within the jungle. A state of emergency is declared and British reinforcements are flown in overnight. War veteran Wing Commander George Yeoman is one of those hardened fighter pilots posted to Kota Balang to command a tactical air support wing of Beaufighters and Spitfires. Their task is to draw the guerrillas out of their impenetrable cover and eradicate them before the whole country is subject to their ruthless terrorism. Operating in tandem with the highly trained Ferret Force, an army unit skilled in jungle warfare, the RAF have little time to acclimatize themselves before the first Communist offensive takes place in their zone. In their own terrain the guerrillas are unbeatable, and those who fall into their hands can expect no mercy. Yeoman and his team quickly discover that their action is every bit as dangerous -- and important -- as any of the great battles of the Second World War. For the man with the sword, the man known only as Yoke, the war isn't over either and he will make the British pay for what they've done, to him and to his country.

Coeurs cicatrisés (Traduit) (Litterature roumaine traduite t. 2) (French Edition) by Max Blecher (12 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

« C?urs cicatrisés » est la traduction inédite en langue française du second roman de Max Blecher (1909-1938) « Inimi cicatrizate » (1937) déjà traduit en plusieurs autres langues. Dans son inévitable « Histoire de la littérature roumaine des origines jusqu'à nos jours » (1941), George Calinescu estime que :« [ce] roman apparaît comme une imitation de « Der Zauberberg » de Thomas Mann. En lieu et place du sanatorium alpin accueillant des malades atteints de tuberculose pulmonaire, nous avons devant nous un sanatorium maritime des malades atteints de tuberculose osseuse. Comme chez Thomas Mann, les malades mènent une vie individuelle et complète dans un univers qui leur est propre. Tout ce qui relève de la physiologie est remarquable. De ce point de vue, le roman constitue un reportage de grande qualité. L'application du plâtre, la souffrance du malade d'être momifié vivant, le prurit, la crasse inhérente, les fistules, sont autant de moments dramatiques qui dévoilent un triste aspect de l'existence. Mais lorsque le romancier se met à romancer, il devient absurde, et lorsqu'il tombe dans l'érotisme, vraiment répugnant. » Précisons que « La Montagne magique » « Der Zauberberg », publié en 1924 est un livre volumineux, un roman d'idées inspiré à Thomas Mann par le séjour de son épouse dans un sanatorium à Davos, tandis que Blecher évoque en moins de deux cents pages Berck-sur-Mer, en France. Il aurait sans doute aimé voir son ?uvre perdurer à travers l'adaptation, il y a quelques années au Théâtre National de Constanta, de ce texte qui émeut avant tout par sa simplicité et par le minimalisme de sa forme qui soutient un fond explicite, voire brutal. Que le lecteur francophone juge à présent par lui-même !

God's Not Coming, so Save Yourself: Special Edition by Jaymes Shore (9 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

*This Special Edition contains two previously unpublished stories* A little faith may help some people through the long dark night, and into the light. Sometimes, faith leads people into the darkest places imaginable (depending on how dark your imagination is). Any sinister action can be justified in the name of God. It doesn't matter if your God is real, imaginary, or something in-between. Prepare to be offended by sixteen tales of belief gone amiss. These are failings in both God and Country. In all cases, blind faith has led to tragic results or at least the unpleasant ones. Many of these stories were inspired by real life occurrences. We have suffered through: Abortion clinic terrorist attacks, priests whipping children to death during exorcisms, inaccurate end of the world predictions, multi-millionaire preachers robbing their followers, traffic ticket cameras from hell, healthcare thieves, Religious child molesters, collection agencies for delinquent church and temple contributions, and the stealing of the Pope's water glass. We have also seen the Government blur the separation of church and state. None of these events will bring about a happy ending. God's not coming, so save yourself. Suffer through these terrors and many more: A man builds his own ark, after experiencing a vision during a dental procedure. When the flood comes, he is ready. Unfortunately, repopulating the Earth is left up to a brother and sister, and they hate each other. It doesn't help when you bring sin aboard, instead of food for the animals. It's never easy when you owe money, and the collection agency is after you. It's even worse when the collection men have God firmly on their side. A troubled child has a new imaginary friend. The boy requires professional help, but the insurance won't cover it. His parents turn to a priest instead. Unfortunately, the man of God has some odd ideas about curing children. This brings about some unpleasant consequences. ...

Limited Capability - Work-related Activity (Social Insecurity Book 4) by Sarah Honeysett (7 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Limited Capability As the summer of 2011 fades, Lyn Walker contemplates another benefit appeal - this time challenging a decision that, despite her life-changing injuries from a road traffic accident, she is fit for work. But she has other things on her mind. Husband Terry needs a heart operation, son Darren's marriage is falling apart and a local Councillor with a bad-boy reputation is pursuing Darren's wife... And at the Solent Welfare Rights Project, Hilary Carrington and the team have hundreds more cases just like Lyn's to deal with, including an appeal for caseworker Tricia's younger sister. A rogue medical assessor is often to blame, and the crucial fact that could end his career is right under their noses, but will it take a tragedy for the team to see the wood for the trees? This is the second part of this story and will usually be free to download on the second and fifth Saturday every month.

Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
