Book Description
FBI agent Andrea Weston was fascinated by the enigmatic Nicholas St. Claire and grateful when he rescued her from certain death--but what was his real agenda? To find out, she would be swept up in a world of terrorism, white slavery, seduction, and betrayal that would lead her from the Palace of Racheed Singh and the confines of his Turkish harem to the clandestine world of Black Ice. Nicholas St. Claire was a highly skilled, highly trained operative cast in the role of a double agent. His cold, calculating mind and objective ruthlessness had allowed him success--a defender of right in a world, corrupt and perverse. But Andrea Weston's betrayal changed all that. Now, he lived for revenge. "Through the Shadows" is the third book by C Rowe Myers and the second in the "Black Ice" series--prequel to "Black Ice/Shadowed Road." In her characteristic fast-paced style, C Rowe-Myers writes exciting and unexpected plot twists that entice readers through a labyrinth of mystery and intrigue, keeping them spellbound and on the edge of their seats.

Riding Lucifer's Line
Author: Bob Alexander
Publisher: University of North Texas Press
ISBN: 1574414992
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
The Texas-Mexico border is trouble. Haphazardly splashing across the meandering Rio Grande into Mexico is--or at least can be--risky business, hazardous to one's health and well-being. Kirby W. Dendy, the Chief of Texas Rangers, corroborates the sobering reality: "As their predecessors for over one hundred forty years before them did, today's Texas Rangers continue to battle violence and transnational criminals along the Texas-Mexico border." In Riding Lucifer's Line, Bob Alexander, in his characteristic storytelling style, surveys the personal tragedies of twenty-five Texas Rangers who made the ultimate sacrifice as they scouted and enforced laws throughout borderland counties adjacent to the Rio Grande. The timeframe commences in 1874 with formation of the Frontier Battalion, which is when the Texas Rangers were actually institutionalized as a law enforcing entity, and concludes with the last known Texas Ranger death along the border in 1921. Alexander also discusses the transition of the Rangers in two introductory sections: "The Frontier Battalion Era, 1874-1901" and "The Ranger Force Era, 1901-1935," wherein he follows Texas Rangers moving from an epochal narrative of the Old West to more modern, technological times. Written absent a preprogrammed agenda, Riding Lucifer's Line is legitimate history. Adhering to facts, the author is not hesitant to challenge and shatter stale Texas Ranger mythology. Likewise, Alexander confronts head-on many of those critical Texas Ranger histories relying on innuendo and gossip and anecdotal accounts, at the expense of sustainable evidence--writings often plagued with a deficiency of rational thinking and common sense. Riding Lucifer's Line is illustrated with sixty remarkable old-time photographs. Relying heavily on archived Texas Ranger documents, the lively text is authenticated with more than one thousand comprehensive endnotes.

Martial Mechanics
Author: Phillip Starr
Publisher: Blue Snake Books
ISBN: 1583942114
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Interest in a wide range of martial arts grows exponentially each year, but few practitioners understand the scientific forces that underlie these arts. The originators of ancient traditional systems intuitively grasped the body mechanics behind their disciplines, and thus were capable of generating uncanny striking force. Contemporary students, on the other hand, often fail to achieve the high levels of technical proficiency they desire because they are unaware of these laws and how they work in a martial arts context. Drawing on the author’s decades of experience as both student and teacher, Martial Mechanics explains, in humorous, easy-to-understand language, how physics and kinesiology affect martial arts techniques and how readers can best utilize them to make them faster, more powerful, and hence more effective in actual combat. Featuring black-and-white photographs throughout, Martial Mechanics is written for both internal and external martial artists, mixed martial arts practitioners with an interest in competition or self-defense, students of kung fu, karate, taekwondo, muay thai boxing, kickboxing, wing chun, and more. Even many of the traditional grappling arts utilize certain striking techniques, and their disciples as well can improve their percussive skills with this practical guide.

On Hunting
Author: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
Publisher: BroadStreet Publishing Group LLC
ISBN: 142456493X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future. Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will · discover how hunting formed us, · examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity, · understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today’s hunter, · identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field, · learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and · gain inspiration to share hunting with others. Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.
