They were flying into the Negral system, something of an oddity as far as star systems were concerned. Technically it was the wall in front of the current flight crew of the frigate she was on, the Delta Brigantia, but they were now about half an hour from their destination and the captain had wanted their advisor up on the bridge. The wall in front of Aneka was full of stars. Part Five: The New World Part One: Cold Comfort Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.

Miss Lillian Hargrove has lived much of her life alone in a gilded cage, longing for love and companionship. Having grown up in Baton Rouge, LA after a childhood move from New York, the southern sounds of rockabilly, blues, and country gave the young Rivers his musical foundation, and the tracks here, though not always conforming strictly to those genres or paying direct tribute to the region or the era, are certainly influenced by that earth-shifting music. For his studio comeback, Rivers turned to Peter Guralnick's Elvis Presley biography, Last Train to Memphis, for inspiration. Sloan's "Secret Agent Man," Jim Hendricks' "Summer Rain," Rivers' own "Poor Side of Town") were all quality stuff that have demonstrated proven staying power, and Rivers was able to maintain his career performing them for years. During the '60s and early '70s, Rivers had been one of the most consistently successful American solo artists: his covers of previously proven R&B/blues, folk and rock/pop songs ( Chuck Berry's "Memphis," Willie Dixon's "Seventh Son," Leadbelly's "Midnight Special") and new tunes written to order ( P.F.

More than twenty years ago, Jeff VanderMeer first introduced the world to the fictional city of Ambergris, a beautiful and sinister sprawling metropolis populated by artists and thieves, composers and murderers, geniuses and madmen. From the author of Borne and Annihilation comes the one-volume hardcover reissue of his cult classic Ambergris Trilogy. But dare the lord's daughter loosen her proper English restraints any further?

The elegance, warmth, wit, and emotional intensity of award-winning author Judith Ivory's superbly romantic tales are unsurpassed. (The elegance, warmth, wit, and emotional intensity of awa.) The Indiscretion - Kindle edition by Judith Ivory. NOTE: This is basically an engagingly written, unillustrated biology textbook (and not the kind of book that gets summarised). As addictive as it is comprehensive, this is Bryson at his very best, a must-read owner’s manual for every body.” Full of extraordinary facts (your body made a million red blood cells since you started reading this) and irresistible Brysonesque anecdotes, The Body will lead you to a deeper understanding of the miracle that is life in general and you in particular.Īs Bill Bryson writes, “We pass our existence within this wobble of flesh and yet take it almost entirely for granted.” The Body will cure that indifference with generous doses of wondrous, compulsively readable facts and information. “Bill Bryson takes us on a head-to-toe tour of the marvel that is the human body-with a new afterword for this edition.īill Bryson once again proves himself to be an incomparable companion as he guides us through the human body-how it functions, its remarkable ability to heal itself, and (unfortunately) the ways it can fail. This publisher’s blurb comes from the Penguin hard cover edition of The Body… In an interesting change of pace, the trouble that ensues really has almost nothing to do with her - sure, an exploding golf ball that practically creates a sand hazard on the course sounds like something she’s responsible - but not this time. But if anyone can start trouble on a golf course, it’d be Rachel. If you’d told me that Rachel Morgan’s penultimate adventure would kick off on a golf course, I’d have told you that you were nuts.

He was rescued by Emma McCune, a British Aid worker, who helped him travel to Kenya. He had lived through a complete horror: “marching through miles of desert toward Ethiopia, past the bones of adults and children who had fallen on the trek witnessing the deaths of friends and family members killing soldiers and civilians with a gun he could barely lift starving to the point of near-cannibalism, and coming to the edge of suicide.” Extraordinarily, Jal survived this unbearable experience and this became a turning point in his life. Jal was orphaned and left to fend for himself. He would end up being one of over 10,000 child soldiers who fought for over a decade in the Sudan civil war. Not long after this, Jal was conscripted to join the Christian Sudanese Liberation Army. Their goal was to fight for the Freedom of Sudan. At the age of seven, his mother was killed and his father became a top commander within the Christian Sudanese Liberation Army. As a young child, he lived in a small village in the Bahr el Ghazal region of Sudan (now South Sudan).
