Book Description
Two years ago, on the same day but miles apart, Finn Darby lost two of the most important people in his life: his wife Lorena, struck by lightning on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, and his abusive, alcoholic grandfather, Tom Darby, creator of the long-running newspaper comic strip Toy Shop. Against his grandfather’s dying wish, Finn has resurrected Toy Shop, adding new characters, and the strip is more popular than ever, bringing in fan letters, merchandising deals, and talk of TV specials. Finn has even started dating again. When a terrorist attack decimates Atlanta, killing half a million souls, Finn begins blurting things in a strange voice beyond his control. The voice says things only his grandfather could know. Countless other residents of Atlanta are suffering a similar bizarre affliction. Is it mass hysteria, or have the dead returned to possess the living? Finn soon realizes he has a hitcher within his skin... his grandfather. And Grandpa isn’t terribly happy about the changes Finn has been making to Toy Shop. Together with a pair of possessed friends, an aging rock star, and a waitress, Finn races against time to find a way to send the dead back to Deadland... or die trying!

Edengone
Author: J.P. Dold
Publisher: Berchtold Publishing
ISBN: 099828551X
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Mike intends to continue in the quiet and peaceful life of a philosophy professor, but his friend, Ron, seems dead-set on rewriting the laws of physics. As Ron delves deeper into a hair-brained theory of his own, he discovers another world, invisible and intangible to us, but existing in the same space as our world. Ron persuades Mike to join him, and together they traverse the harsh conditions of an alien world locked in war. "At that moment, I was no longer Michael. I was no longer intellectual or diplomatic. The time for that was gone. Now it was the time to act. Now was the time of reckoning. I became a force. I became death and destruction. I became blood and fire. My heart pounded to the beat of an instinctive, primitive, and intrinsic war drum. I was prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. I was the tribunal. The crime had been committed. Justice required punishment. And I was there to deliver. Deliver I did. My battle cry delivered the accusation. My weapon served the verdict. And the rounds fired from my gun executed the sentence. "Do I look back on my actions with pride? No. Would I have spared them if there was another way? Yes. I wish I could have spared them. I wish I could have let them be. But they would not let Edengone be. Then can I reflect on my choices and look virtue and justice in the eye with confidence? Yes; a resounding and emphatic yes. The correct action is not always a pleasant or happy one, but it is necessary and always the best action. How do I justify my actions? That is between me and the powers I answer to. Let the world think of me as they will. I was trained to destroy, but more importantly, I was trained to know when to destroy. I do not reflect on my actions with any pride, but I do not reflect with any doubt, either."

See You In Orbit? Our Dream Of Spaceflight
Author: Alan Ladwig
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781733265706
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
For centuries, a journey to space has been a shared dream of millions around the world. We have patiently, and impatiently, anticipated Sunday afternoon drives down celestial freeways. Yet, since 1961 when human space travel began, fewer than 560 professional astronauts, cosmonauts, taikonauts and a-half dozen millionaires have seen Earth from a vantage point in space. Given so few orbiting travelers, what made so many ordinary people think they had the slightest chance to fulfill their dream? Because for decades, visionaries, government officials, space companies, and the media told us our ticket to ride was just a rocket away. All we had to do was "keep the dream alive." With so much optimism, shouldn't we all be there by now? See You In Orbit? Our Dream of Spaceflight will be the first non-fiction book to take a historical, personal, irreverent, and often-humorous look at the promises, expectations, principal personalities, and milestones regarding the goal and dream we have to fly in space.
