Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The Empires of Varkal and Med’ariz have always been at war. Alefret, the founder of Varkal’s pacifist resistance, was bombed and maimed by his own government, locked up in a secret prison and tortured by a ‘visionary’ scientist. But now they’re offering him a chance of freedom. Ordered to infiltrate one of Med’ariz’s flying cities, obeying the bloodthirsty zealot Qhudur, he must find fellow anti-war activists in the enemy’s population and provoke them into an uprising against their rulers. He should refuse to serve the warmongers, but what if he could end this pointless war once and for all? Is that worth compromising his own morals and the principles of his fellow resistance members?

Singing Grass, Burning Sage
Author: Jack Nisbet
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 9781558684782
Category : Natural history
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Singing Grass, Burning Sage is a celebration in photos and text of eastern Washington's arid lands--a region that encompasses the heart of the Columbia River Basin, and supports a shrub-steppe environment dominated by sagebrush and bunchgrass. Formed by massive basalt flows that pulsed across the Basin, sculpted by ceaseless winds, and scoured by the cataclysmic Lake Missoula floods at the climax of our most recent Ice Age, this landscape offers some of the most spectacular geologic vistas in the world. The vast spaces of this wide domain are full of wonder and surprise, as that raw rock provides the setting for a dramatic interplay of human and natural history.
