Book Description
Another group of contestants are ready for the Galaxywide $5 million challenge. The game-site is in the Andes, but, after arriving on site, a rain storm of epic proportions causes a mudslide which traps the team in a cave they were using as a base. Using a transportation device, the team are transferred to Bhar-raxx, the plague-infested game world of the Kryfor system. While relatives back on Earth wait for news of the rescue attempt to dig their loved ones from the mountain cave, the team members are exposed to Bhar-raxx’s deadly predators. Coming to grips with a lethal environment doesn’t come easy and, one by one, the team is whittled down by the planet’s resident killing machines. Galaxywide is once again making billions out of the deaths of a new group of humans, while an alien audience watches avidly to every move that the frightened contestants make.

The Ultimate Survivor

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is the story of a man born in rural Poland in 1923. During his childhood, the world changed for his country. In September, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, destroyed its weak armed forces and controlled the country for the next six years. With that invasion, the life of Wladyslaw (Wally) Pieszka was never the same.From being required to work at Auschwitz and being drafted into the German Army, to surviving the battle for Stalingrad in 1942 and escaping to England in 1943, his reasons for survival were either the Grace of God, pure luck, or the mere desire to live. His story is almost unbelievable but for the rare photographs and documents he and his mother were able to maintain. Being forced into manhood while still a boy is not something one foresees when growing up. This is the history of one man who wore the uniforms of both Nazi Germany and the Allied Forces in World War II; a man forced to work at Auschwitz during its years of horror; a soldier who fought in the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, Stalingrad. After having escaped from the German Army and completing his service for the Allied Forces, only then did he learn that his family home had been burned to the ground by the invading Russian forces. He could not go back home. He remained in Scotland until 1956. After working in coal mines, farms, and later becoming a painter with his own company, Wally decided it was time to try a new country and came to Chicago, barely missing sailing on the ship destined not to arrive in this new country. Wally Pieszka is a Polish man but yet an American man, with more lives than the proverbial cat. His life in America found permanent employment as a right-hand assistant to the President of the Wrigley Company in Chicago and that led to his meeting and marrying the love of his life, Mary. While some of Wally's memories have gaps, this book is being completed as Wally approaches his 95th year. While some of these names and events have faded, no stories here were embellished. If he didn't remember, it does not appear. This is Wally's story.

Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy
Author: Ozzy Osbourne
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1455503347
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The "Full Ozzy Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED Conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newpaper argued that Ozzy's mutliple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypocondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions. In Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy, Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.
