Book Description
A burnt-out exobiologist and a peaceful space hauler have their lives changed forever by an irresistible proposition—one that may send everyone hurtling toward annihilation. Chaeyoung No has devoted her career to disproving a theory that abiotic oxygen sterilized the cosmos. A weapons manufacturer has just offered to fund her dreams. She could silence her critics forever, but can she trust her funders? Frederik Obialo yearns to build a permanent home for his daughter. When he’s offered triple pay for a quick haul, he sees his chance. All he has to do is shuttle some people to a weather station and ignore all the warning signs. Their choices have sunk them deep into the shadowy world of corporate espionage. Now they have to deal with black ops kill teams, and military intrigue. But an alien discovery shatters their understanding of the universe. As they reveal eons-hidden truths, Chaeyoung and Frederik will propel humanity away from the path of the pale blue dot...toward the singularity of A Mote in Shadow.

The Shadow's Gift
Author: Robin Robertson
Publisher: Nicolas-Hays, Inc.
ISBN: 0892545844
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
There is no change that doesn't begin in the darkness of the human soul. The necessity for the confrontation with the Shadow has been known by all cultures in all times and recorded in their myths and legends. When the obligation to become whole is laid upon an individual, the first task he must undertake is to confront his Shadow. The Shadow's Gift: Find Who You really Are is about the Shadow contained in each of us, and why we must each join with our shadow, the archetype of darkness and evil in order to become whole. This heroic process is crucial as the projection or denial of the Shadow twists its true meaning into a destructive, counter-evolutionary force. Owning and integrating our shadow allows its transformation in both the world and us The Shadow is a paradox. While it initially appears to us as loathsome and despicable, it actually contains all our future potentialities for development. Perhaps more than any other, Robin Robertson discusses it from a the perspective of a belief in the inherent potential good of the Shadow and its ability to assist us in our quest for self-actualization. Robin Robertson draws from stories of real people's lives, the Bible, fairy tales and legends, modern fiction and the work of famed depth-psychologist C. G. Jung as well as his own experiences. His writing is intimate and accessible, and his insights and wisdom are conveyed in anecdotal and easy-to-understand language with clarity and depth.

Harrison Investigation Series Volume 1
Author: Heather Graham
Publisher: MIRA
ISBN: 148803835X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1643
Book Description
Go back to where it all began! Before the Krewe of Hunters, there was Harrison Investigations. Available for the first time in a value box set, the first three stories in the series—thrilling paranormal romantic suspense from New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham. HAUNTED Matt Stone doesn’t believe in ghosts. Although his home, a historic Virginia estate that dates back to the Revolutionary War, has seen some strange happenings lately. Pressured to get at the truth, he agrees to let Harrison Investigations explore. But he isn’t ready for beautiful, intriguing Darcy Tremayne, or the skeletons she’s about to discover. Because it’s much more than a simple mystery from the distant past—Melody House holds a very real and lethal danger, one that will cast Darcy into a struggle against the worlds of both the living and the dead. GHOST WALK As manager of a successful New Orleans haunted-tour company, Nikki DuMonde doesn’t scare easily. So a visit frin one of her employees in the middle of the night doesn’t faze her, until she learns the woman brutally murdered—at the exact time Nikki swears she was in her room. No one believes her except for Brent Blackhawk, a paranormal investigator desperately trying to forget his tragic past. When he realizes ghosts are trying to reach out to Nikki, he knows that she, too, must listen to the dead…if she wants to keep living. THE VISION It seems like any other salvage dive—until Genevieve Wallace sees a vision of a dead woman in the water. A dead woman who opens her eyes and looks directly at her… But no one, including her diving partner Thor Thompson, believes her. Then a body washes up on shore, and everyone assumes this is what Genevieve saw. But she knows it’s definitely not the ghost she encountered, but another victim of the same brutal killer. With the threat of death is coming closer, she and Thor somehow have to link a violent past with a present-day mystery…because if they don’t, the power of death will possess them, too.

Pages : 712
Book Description
In a world where beliefs are real, actualized by will, expressed by intent, Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, flees as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K’un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea’ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted Order’s distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in Ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear.... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his own quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his own limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help... but first he must survive. A blend of Eastern mysticism and Western fantasy, Shadow’s Rise is the first book of the Chronicles of the Fists, an epic trilogy recounting Yip’s adventures against all odds.
