The Big Sheep
Author: Robert Kroese
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250088453
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Los Angeles of 2039 is a baffling and bifurcated place. After the Collapse of 2028, a vast section of LA, the Disincorporated Zone, was disowned by the civil authorities, and became essentially a third world country within the borders of the city. Navigating the boundaries between DZ and LA proper is a tricky task, and there's no one better suited than eccentric private investigator Erasmus Keane. When a valuable genetically altered sheep mysteriously goes missing from Esper Corporation's labs, Keane is the one they call. But while the erratic Keane and his more grounded partner, Blake Fowler, are on the trail of the lost sheep, they land an even bigger case. Beautiful television star Priya Mistry suspects that someone is trying to kill her - and she wants Keane to find out who. When Priya vanishes and then reappears with no memory of having hired them, Keane and Fowler realize something very strange is going on. As they unravel the threads of the mystery, it soon becomes clear that the two cases are connected - and both point to a sinister conspiracy involving the most powerful people in the city. Saving Priya and the sheep will take all of Keane's wits and Fowler's skills, but in the end, they may discover that some secrets are better left hidden. Kroese's The Big Sheep is perfect for fans of Philip Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!, and Scalzi's Old Man's War.

Turning Tuscan
Author: Sam Hilt
Publisher: Tuscany Tours Book, A
ISBN: 9780985147921
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
"Turning Tuscan" is a story about what it's like to fall in love with Tuscany in your mid-life years, to buy a home there, to change around your work, and, finally, to leave the San Francisco Bay Area and move with your wife and children to a tiny Tuscan village. That's the first part. The second part tries to share what it's like living here once you've made the move: learning the language, becoming part of a village community, running a tour company, understanding the political scene, getting an internet connection, enjoying Renaissance art, spending time in the hospital, appreciating the bureaucracy, and enduring customer service at The Phone Company. It has been written in a way that will make you feel like an honored guest invited into the cockpit as we transfer from America to Tuscany and set up shop. And, in case you are wondering what kind of crazy person does such a thing, and whether you might be one, I try to share enough personal history and detail about our lives on both sides of the ocean to satisfy your curiosity. As a foreigner who enters into another culture, there is a limited window of time available to you to see these things and to try to record them in some way. You have to become Italian enough to play the game, but not so Italian yet that it all becomes invisible. If you wait too long, you are no longer in a position to reflect or comment on cultural differences because what people are doing seems totally normal to you. Ripeness is all, as the poet said, and hopefully I've managed to capture for you some of the subtler aspects of living here that travel photos, even high resolution ones, can never reveal.

The Troubled Trinity

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
The world of Manuel Godoy was the age of the French Revolution and Napoleon, of Goethe and Beethoven; a world of changing ideas and reevaluations, of early industrialization, scientific experimentation, and radical political thought. Above all, it was a time of military, social, and economic movement. Spain of the late 18th century was still a major power whose possessions reached from Italy to the two continents of the New World, and as far as the Philippines. Under the rule of the Bourbons, the country had benefited from an economic and military resurgence. Godoy, a twenty-five-year-old guardsman from the provinces, began a meteoric rise to a position of great political influence under the sponsorship of Carlos IV. Eventually, he became the de facto ruler of Spain from 1792 to 1808 and Napoleon’s main adversary south of the Pyrenees. With the accumulation of power and influence came great wealth and a dominance over Carlos IV and his queen, Maria Luisa, Godoy’s paramour. Spurned by his natural allies, Godoy was forces to depend on the discredited royal couple for his entire support. When their fragile authority crumbled before Napoleon’s duplicity, Godoy’s political power and influence also ended.
