Book Description
BASED ON THE HIT ALBUM BY PROGRESSIVE METAL GIANTS DREAM THEATER In a not so distant future, our world has returned to the ugliness of feudalism. Only this time, those in power control the servant class with the very thing that once inspired men to rise up and take back their lives—music. But it is not the music of old. That music is forgotten. No, this new music is engineered entirely by machines. This music suppresses that part of humanity which might be inspired. This music suppresses hope.But what is old will be made new again.In the village of Ravenskill lives a young man, Gabriel, who comes with a gift of power. A gift of music. As a human expression.Gabriel’s brother, Arhys, leads a rebel militia that is trying to liberate the people. And he believes Gabriel’s gift is the key; a key he hopes will help him keep a promise he made to his wife on her deathbed.But the emperor and his son have different plans—to maintain control. Those plans may find an unlikely challenger in their own family. And the resulting conflict may yield lasting consequences. For them all.With music as a moving force, the choices each player must make will bring them to a shared moment of pain. And perhaps redemption.

The Astonishing General
Author: Wesley B. Turner
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459700074
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
Winner of the 2011 OHS Donald Grant Creighton Award This book is about Major General Sir Isaac Brock (1769 - October 13, 1812). It tells of his life, his career and legacy, particularly in the Canadas, and of the context within which he lived. One of the most enduring legacies of the War of 1812 on both the United States and Canadian sides was the creation of heroes and heroines. The earliest of those heroic individuals was Isaac Brock who in some ways was the most unlikely of heroes. For one thing, he was admired by his American foes almost as much as by his own people. Even more striking is how a British general whose military role in that two-and-a-half-year war lasted less than five months became the best known hero and one revered far and wide. Wesley B. Turner finds this outcome astonishing and approaches the subject from that point of view.
