Book Description
The stakes are extreme in the second book of Jeff Chen’s futuristic, action-packed Ultraball series. Win-or-lose turns into life-or-death in this thrilling middle grade adventure tailor-made for sports and sci-fi fans. Strike and the Miners are hungrier than ever for a championship after losing yet another Ultrabowl. When they suffer a shocking defeat in their season opener, Strike knows that something is off with his game, but the secret hampering his play is too large to reveal. If he can’t perform at the highest level, what chances do the Miners have against the unstoppable Neutrons? Worse yet, his powerful enemy, Raiden Zuna, knows Strike is hiding something. Zuna offers to help, and Strike is tempted—but the information Zuna wants in return threatens Strike’s friend Boom, as well as the growing Dark Side resistance. When rumors surface about Zuna’s mysterious grand plan, code-named Operation Deathstrike, Strike’s choice could have consequences he never anticipated. Even as the Ultraball games ratchet up in intensity, with teams using explosive new tactics to reach the Ultrabowl, Strike has bigger decisions to make if he wants to keep his teammates—and the moon—safe.

Book Description
In 1981 ten men starved themselves to death inside the walls of Long Kesh prison in Belfast. While a stunned world watched and distraught family members kept bedside vigils, one "soldier" after another slowly went to his death in an attempt to make Margaret Thatcher's government recognize them as political prisoners rather than common criminals. Drawing extensively on secret IRA documents and letters from the prisoners smuggled out at the time, David Beresford tells the gripping story of these strikers and their devotion to the cause. An intensely human story, Ten Men Dead offers a searing portrait of strife-torn Ireland, of the IRA, and the passions -- on both sides -- that Republicanism arouses.

Book Description
Wolverine. Logan. Weapon X. By any name, Marvel Comic's savage, brooding antihero is, in his own words, the best at what he does--killing with gratuitous precision. Paradoxically violent yet humane, the beer-swilling, cigar-smoking mutant with retractable claws is universally misjudged in the Marvel Universe yet esteemed by fans worldwide. The author explores Wolverine's development from bit character to modern legend over more than four decades, with a focus on his enduring appeal as an allegory for resilience through torment.

Book Description
My name is James Patrick Esquibel. I am a 40 year old man who has resided in the United States my entire life. I have had the opportunity to live in various states such as Idaho, Florida, California, Texas and different areas of New Mexico where I have spent most of my life. As the saying goes There is no place like home and now I find myself currently living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. New Mexico has a spiritual connection within me because of it's geological beauty. The mountains, rivers, lakes, animals and weather has fed my inner peace. Since the early age of 18 I have loved to write and release my emotions in poetic lyrical form. This form of therapy helped me to relate to past childhood memories some of which included abuse, neglect, the loss of loved ones and times of happiness. I never expected to publish this material as a book. My real intentions were putting together my own band and learning how to play the drums. Instead of choosing a life style of sex, drugs and Rock-n-roll which is known to be a part of a musicians life. I had felt a career on the road would have been too much for a simple soul like me. After experiencing my first child's birth I then realized how precious life is so I decided to be a family man. There is more contentment and satisfaction in raising children and being a good husband. Unfortunately life is so short and we must do all we can to make something good happen for ourselves and the ones we love. Never give up on dreaming and know if you put your mind, heart and soul towards anything oneself can make the impossible happen. Peace! (longhair) JPE
