Somewhere in the darkness, the Tiger waits to strike... Abandoning her comfortable American life, Stefanie Peng sets out for China on a desperate quest to rescue her grandfather, a pastor in the underground church. Her pursuit leads her to labor camps, secret church meetings, and even prison, bringing her face to face with the value of her freedom and the cost so many pay for their faith.

And master spy, the Beijing Tiger, who crouches to pounce at her first mistake. Stefanie Peng had no idea that the fate of so many would hang on her trek into China to accompany her imprisoned grandfather to the United States. With the Tiger stalking her, she becomes the prey that will allow him to capture a high-priority Christian evangelist and gain access to her father's laser research. Only the love of the enigmatic man she had thought was her best friend can save her. A gripping account of a Chinese government conspiracy to annihilate the Chinese church and bring America to her knees.

Book Description
The thylacine is the largest known carnivorous marsupial of modern times. It's commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger because of its striped back and is believed by most experts to have become extinct in the 20th century. Yet in 1967, Col Bailey sighted a Tasmanian tiger along the shores of the Coorong, in South Australia. Then in 1993, a chance encounter with an elderly bushman unlocked a wealth of previously untold information that led Col into the vast and untrodden wilderness of Tasmania's Weld Valley. In Shadow Of The Thylacine, Col tells of his search for the Tasmanian tiger, revealing why he believes that this shy animal still exists in remote areas of Australia.

Book Description
The tiger is an endangered species. There are now only a few thousand tigers surviving in Asia in their natural habitat. The largest of the species, the Siberian tiger, is now confined almost entirely to the thinly-populated Russian Far East where it is increasingly under threat from intensified poaching and the destruction of its habitat. Peter Matthiessen, in addition to being a distinguished novelist, has written classic accounts of his observation of wildlife around the world and his study of the Siberian tiger displays his deep knowledge of, and feeling for, the natural world. He tells the story of the tiger's origin and evolution and describes its role in the mythology and culture of the peoples amongst whom it lived and by whom it was hunted. His illuminating text is accompanied by Maurice Hornocker's magnificent photographs of this fabulous animal.
