Book Description
Some problems can't be solved with the roll of a die… After a major betrayal shook up my life, I'm attempting to lie low. Naturally, that's when the King of the Dead decides to show up on my doorstep again. Seems His Deathly Highness needs a new Elemental Soldier, and he wants to hire me as his security guard to stop anyone from sabotaging the contest. Since the Order has been ghosting me ever since I accidentally blew up a vampire's house, I could use the cash -- even if it involves dealing with hot-tempered fire mages. Problem is, everyone in the Court of the Dead has their own agenda. And with an upcoming school reunion threatening to drag up dangerous memories of my lessons in spirit magic, I find myself at a crossroads in my life, in more ways than one. In the Parallel, not everything stays buried for long, and if I'm not careful, the Court of the Dead's many secrets will spell my own end. Keywords: urban fantasy, magic, gamer, role-playing games, contemporary fantasy, urban fantasy series, British fantasy, female protagonist urban fantasy, dark urban fantasy, ghosts, mages, necromancer, complete fantasy series, adult urban fantasy series, action urban fantasy, paranormal fantasy, supernatural suspense

The Voices of Baseball
Author: Kirk McKnight
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442244488
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
With careers spanning two to three times that of an average player, baseball’s best broadcasters have no shortage of history to offer. They have witnessed opening days, no hitters, slugfests, and perfect games, all from arguably the best seats in the house. From former Baltimore Orioles announcer Jon Miller calling Cal Ripken Jr.’s record-breaking 2,131st straight game, to Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione witnessing the “Curse of the Babe” being lifted the night Boston won its first World Series in eighty-six years, broadcasters know their clubs, their stadiums, and their teams in a way that no one else can. In The Voices of Baseball: The Game's Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America's Pastime, Kirk McKnight provides an in-depth look at each of Major League Baseball’s thirty ballparks from the perspectives of the game’s longest-tenured storytellers. These broadcasters share their fondest memories from the booth, what makes their ballparks unique, and even how their ballparks’ structural features have impacted games. Thirty-three of today’s broadcasters—from “newbie” Brian Anderson to sixty-five-year veteran Vin Scully—pay tribute not only to the edifices that host their broadcasting craft but also to their predecessors, such as Harry Caray and Red Barber, who influenced and inspired them. With decades of broadcasting between them, their stories encapsulate some of Major League Baseball’s greatest moments. Generations of baseball fans—from the veteran who witnessed Joe DiMaggio coming back from World War II to the son or daughter going through the gate’s turnstiles for the first time—will all enjoy the historic and triumphant moments shared by some of the game’s greatest broadcasters in The Voices of Baseball.

During 1940-1944, the citizens of France and its Empire endured the 'dark years' of invasion, persecution and foreign occupation.
