Book Description
Bartholomew Schultz is content to remain in his country home learning magic and keeping to himself, but when his family is used to blackmail him into attacking a gang working to control the streets of Grand Rapids, he must find a way to achieve his goals while keeping his family safe?and himself from being further drawn into the dark world of magic and intrigue. ~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~ Derek palmed his thirty-eight as he watched Schultz walk to his truck. He set his jaw and gathered his resolve. He went to make his move but had to stop as a wave of vertigo passed over him. Eying Schultz though, he continued on.He strode with purpose towards Schultz, and with murder in his voice screamed, ?Die mother-xxx!? with all the hate he could muster as he pulled the trigger again and again.However, each time the hammer fell on his double-action revolver all that followed was a dull ?click?.His eyes widened, as with that same little smirk plastered on his face, Schultz calmly walked toward him. Fear twisted up inside Derek's guts as he got closer and closer. Then Schultz grabbed his face with his right hand and shoved him back until he hit the wall. Without saying a word Schultz grabbed Derek's gun in his left hand. Schultz then calmly stuck his hand in Derek's left pocket, the same pocket he kept his extra rounds in. He proceeded to replace the spent rounds, and then placed the gun against his own head and pulled the trigger five times. And five times the gun went click.Then Schultz gave the gun back to Derek and stepped back. Derek fought as hard as he could, but within moments he felt the cold steel of the gun barrel against his own temple. He squeezed the trigger. BANG!Derek collapsed where he had been standing in the shadows of the alleyway, his ass hitting the cold cement hard. Schultz was long gone. Derek was sweating profusely, fear still clenching in his belly like an icy, steel fist.His mind reeled, trying to reconcile what he?d just experienced?or thought he had?with the fact that he was still breathing. With a sudden sickening gurgle, he twisted onto his hands and knees and puked on the wall, while feeling a wet warmth spread from his groin as his bladder let go.Derek wiped his mouth as he stood and staggered off, leaving his gun on the ground. He couldn't look at it, much less touch it, without that sick feeling returning.

Pages : 522
Book Description
Imagine a world where humans are almost extinct. Hundreds of years ago, the realm walls collapsed, and Earth was flooded with mythical creatures. Now, dungeons dot the landscape, releasing Demons that terrorize and destroy everything in their path. If they aren't stopped, humans won't be the only endangered species. To preserve life and win the war against Demons, Protectors from different species all over the world have downloaded level-up programs to help them fight. Jason Jonosan doesn't want to be a part of that world, though his dad created the original tech. His dad's latest work has made him a target, and Jason finds himself running for his life. When he's accidentally injected with an accelerated prototype, it's level up or die. But as he goes through dungeons with his best friend and new Party members, they realize the situation isn't as simple as they always believed, and the race to save Jason's life turns into a quest to save the world. Fans are saying: "This book exceeded my expectations!" "I couldn't put it down! This was very well written. Witty, clean, creative. Post apocalyptic earth mixed with high fantasy. If you like DnD you will love this book." "This was a good start of a new world with an interesting take on the whole concept of leveling up and gaining power." "It does a good job in a genre that's filled with OP MC's to have a believable MC that can't kill everything by himself. The character development not only with the MC but the rest of his party is amazing."

Gerrin awakens to find himself in a medieval world similar to his own yet startlingly different. In this world he finds himself caught in the path of the mad despot Axe Commander Vix, haunted by a beautiful silver eyed maiden that he met in his dreams, and compelled to aid the suffering people of Wheatvale by a mysterious messenger that appeared to him in both worlds. Keeva Woodwright is a vision to be sure. The carpenter’s daughter is tall, winsome in both face and figure, and able to captivate many with her silver eyes. The fair maiden thought that her life was over when she was taken prisoner by the Savant and purchased by Vix, the cruel king of the Savant.

The Rise, The Fall, and The Rise
Author: Brix Smith Start
Publisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571325076
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The Rise, The Fall, and The Rise is the extraordinary story, in her own words, of Brix Smith Start. Best known for her work in The Fall at the time when they were perhaps the most powerful and influential anti-authoritarian postpunk band in the world -- This Nation's Saving Grace, The Weird and Frightening World Of ... -- Brix spent ten years in the band before a violent disintegration led to her exit and the end of her marriage with Mark E Smith. But Brix's story is much more than rock n roll highs and lows in one of the most radically dysfunctional bands around. Growing up in the Hollywood Hills in the '60s in a dilapadated pink mansion her life has taken her from luxury to destitution, from the cover of the NME to waitressing in California, via the industrial wasteland of Manchester in the 1980s. What emerges is a story of constant reinvention, jubilant highs and depressive ebbs; a singular journey of a teenage American girl on a collision course with English radicalism on her way to mid-life success on tv and in fashion. Too bizarre, extreme and unlikely to exist in the pages of fiction, The Rise, The Fall and The Rise could only exist in the pages of a memoir.
