Book Description
Robert Maldron was a field doctor at the Battle of Gettysburg. At dusk lying mortally wounded, the dead and dying were visited by a band of traveling vampires and its leader befriended Maldron. Turning him enough for Maldron to recover, he has the life expectancy of a vampire and many of their attributes while still retaining his human identity. The vampire is one of many species that exist on the Continuum plain, a plain whose occupants have been slowly dying over millennia through a lack of quality sustenance.....blood. The Continuum council and its members were responsible for the creation of earth millions of years earlier as an experiment to guarantee much-needed quality sustenance. Blood on the Continuum plain had become infected with a virus rendering it useless, so it had to be recreated in a sustainable virus-free way in isolation, so earth and its universe was created. The experiment had been successful until modern times with the advent of human drug abuse, alcohol and blood diseases. The harvesting of human blood during periods of rest was no longer providing the required food to furnish immortality for species of the Continuum. In frustration, some species are finding access to earth without the permission of the Continuum council, access courtesy of man's mistreatment of planet earth. Access to the earth environment in an uncontrolled way causes some species to react uncharacteristically and they cause havoc and death amongst humans close to where breaches have occurred. Maldron's vampire mentor, Max Von Konstein as the Continuum representative on earth,, occasionally calls upon his help to deal with those creatures from the Continuum plain.

Dr Robert Maldron and the Yeti
Author: Hermione Chase
Publisher: Hermione Chase
ISBN: 1311457038
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
Its 1955 and the most recent expedition to the Himalayas has failed. Its purpose was to locate the whereabouts of the mythical Soma plant. The Soma plant is supposedly unique to the Himalayan Mountains and according to Nepalese legend, it has restorative powers to cure and heal and some say to prolong life. Its exact location was thought to have been found 10 years earlier with the discovery of a photograph of a strange plant that resembled a 4-leaf clover. It was amongst equipment salvaged from a previous expedition where all participants perished.This had fueled further exploration, financed by large pharmaceutical companies keen to find the plant and synthesis medicines that might make millions of dollars for their shareholders. The latest attempt present day saw the expedition team killed under mysterious circumstances, with the exception of one Sherpa guide. The survivor escapes with two broken legs having jumped from a cliff edge, while his compatriots were left back at base camp mutilated. The Sherpa's account spoke of an attack, rather than an avalanche. An attack by a mountain man as the locals term the creature. Western culture call it a Yeti or an Abominable Snowman. The Dakin Foundation, a leading pharmaceutical research company who provided funding for the expedition is undeterred and it seeks help from New York University School of Medicines top researcher, Eleanor Steed, to carry out a second expedition to find the Soma plant. Steed is terminally ill with months to live and accepts the commission, keeping her condition a secret. She does not necessarily believe in the plant's existence or its properties, it is just an opportunity to be involved in one last piece of fieldwork in a place she had never visited. Her condition is managed through medication. Elsewhere in the world a number of countries are testing bombs in the pacific and Australian outback. These man made effects on the earth's environment create a number of breaches between the earth plain and that of the Continuum. As was the case several thousand years earlier a breach opened briefly amongst the Himalayan Mountains. The Continuum Council acts swiftly to close the doorway but not before a creature called a Yetiad steps through. Unlike the family of Yetiad that did the same thousands of years before this single Yetiad comes through unprepared. Instead of a wise, knowledgeable creature living in harmony with Tibetans, it is an angry, murderous creature whose sole objective is to find the Soma plant now it has tested blood. Blood and the sap of the Soma plant combined prolong the life of the Yetiad and has the capability of doing the same for humans. The Continuum Council contacts Project Earth Director, Max Von Konsetin, telepathically seeking his help to stop the rampant Yetiad. Max in turn asks for the help of part human, part vampire, Robert Maldron. Maldron is seconded into Steed's team. While Steed searches for the Soma plant, Maldron must deal with the Yeti, the shortened name given by the Tibetan monks.

Hermione Granger Saves the World
Author: Christopher E. Bell
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476600058
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
The new essays in this book make two central claims. First, for some people, the word "feminist" has been either poorly defined or even demonized. Hermione Granger, of the Harry Potter series, serves as an outstanding example of what modern young feminism looks like: activist, powerful and full of agency, yet feminine, romantic and stylish--a new kind of feminism for a new kind of girl. The second claim the essays make is that our young, emergent feminist Hermione Granger is a pivotal character upon whom the entire series rests--not Harry Potter himself (or, at least, not Harry Potter solely). It is Hermione who solves every difficult puzzle, performs every difficult spell, and to whom her two male companions look for guidance and advice. On several occasions throughout the series, Hermione literally saves the world through her actions. This is an outstanding model for young women (and for young men as well) who are confused about how feminism manifests and operates in 2012.

Living Dangerously
Author: Ranulph Fiennes
Publisher: Long Riders Guild Press
ISBN: 9781590481448
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Brought up in South Africa, he never knew his father, who had died in the Italian Campaign the year before he was born. Ranulph followed his father's path into the Royal Scots Greys. After that came the SAS, from which he was dismissed for blowing up an American film set at the idyllic Cotswold village of Castle Combs, then two vicious years as a volunteer fighting communist insurgents in Oman. Then began the series of expeditions for which Fiennes is best known and which caused The Guinness Book of Records to hail him in 1984 as 'the world's greatest living explorer.' Up the White Nile in a hovercraft, parachuting onto Europe's highest glacier, forcing his way up 4,000 miles of terrifying rivers in northern Canada and Alaska, overland to the North Pole and to the ends of the earth, across the world's axis-the Transglobe Expedition-which took ten years from conception to completion. He writes here too about his attempt to reach the North Pole without dogs or motorised equipment, beating the world record by 300 miles, his determination to find the lost city of Urbar in the Arabian desert and, finally, his extraordinary journey across the Antarctic Continent via the South Pole. Living Dangerously is a remarkable testament from a remarkable man.
