Book Description
An intergalactic war has begun, but most humans are unaware. The story is told by Lisa, who is now the new Great Red Queen and an icon of power. Malachi the Messenger, a herald and protector, visits Nabwood to warn the Chosen Ones that their lives are in danger. The Damned have disguised themselves as humans and seized power on Earth. The Banks and the Din families flee for their lives, deciding in haste to go to the Jenn world. Once there, they are horrified to learn that Selwa the Vinx has plotted for the immortal Dark King to return. Fearing catastrophe, they join the Osirion Alliance in Wazira's chamber. Matthew's father braves his darkest secret to tell them what happened in the Ancient War. This is a story of friendship, sacrifice, bravery and love. From Coming of the Dark King, Book 1: Richard neared his relatives, but something about their conversation struck a chord of fear and he backed away. He looked at Stephanie who seemed to have lost the will to live. GET OUT! Richard yelled at them, rushing forward to push them out of the room. To his astonishment, his hand swiped through their bodies. He tried again and the same thing happened. You're dead, a voice inside told him.

I write for the enjoyment of writing, as well as to illustrate the world through another lens

A Leap in the Dark
Author: John Ferling
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199728704
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
It was an age of fascinating leaders and difficult choices, of grand ideas eloquently expressed and of epic conflicts bitterly fought. Now comes a brilliant portrait of the American Revolution, one that is compelling in its prose, fascinating in its details, and provocative in its fresh interpretations. In A Leap in the Dark, John Ferling offers a magisterial new history that surges from the first rumblings of colonial protest to the volcanic election of 1800. Ferling's swift-moving narrative teems with fascinating details. We see Benjamin Franklin trying to decide if his loyalty was to Great Britain or to America, and we meet George Washington when he was a shrewd planter-businessman who discovered personal economic advantages to American independence. We encounter those who supported the war against Great Britain in 1776, but opposed independence because it was a "leap in the dark." Following the war, we hear talk in the North of secession from the United States. The author offers a gripping account of the most dramatic events of our history, showing just how closely fought were the struggle for independence, the adoption of the Constitution, and the later battle between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. Yet, without slowing the flow of events, he has also produced a landmark study of leadership and ideas. Here is all the erratic brilliance of Hamilton and Jefferson battling to shape the new nation, and here too is the passion and political shrewdness of revolutionaries, such as Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry, and their Loyalist counterparts, Joseph Galloway and Thomas Hutchinson. Here as well are activists who are not so well known today, men like Abraham Yates, who battled for democratic change, and Theodore Sedgwick, who fought to preserve the political and social system of the colonial past. Ferling shows that throughout this period the epic political battles often resembled today's politics and the politicians--the founders--played a political hardball attendant with enmities, selfish motivations, and bitterness. The political stakes, this book demonstrates, were extraordinary: first to secure independence, then to determine the meaning of the American Revolution. John Ferling has shown himself to be an insightful historian of our Revolution, and an unusually skillful writer. A Leap in the Dark is his masterpiece, work that provokes, enlightens, and entertains in full measure.
