Dark Enemy

Autor: Anne Mather

Número de Páginas: 151

Nicola had never met Jason Wilde, but she hated him for the way he had hurt and deceived her sister, and was determined to be revenged on him. So she worked out a plan that seemed fool-proof. She took a job with the oil company for which Jason worked and managed to get out to Abrhm, the remote post in the middle of the North African desert where he was supervising. Miles from civilization and the company of women, he should, she reasoned, be an easy target. She was not exactly unattractive, and it should not be difficult to make him fall for her—and then walk out of him in just the same way as he had walked out on her sister. But things did not quite work out in the way Nicola had expected, and fate turned the tables on her neatly and drastically.

Transfer Machine

Autor: Michael Kamegawa

Número de Páginas: 171

The idea of writing this book was to express my thoughts of why a soul needs to exist in our society. It was after I read about every event in history and how some led into violence and others didn't. There's always an incident that seems to happen, from the beginning of time up to now, that made me think, why? There must be an underlying event that is the cause, but what is this cause and effect? It could be anything, for sure. However, if a human is involved, the psyche is involved. So when emotion is involved, it must be invisible, therefore, we don't see it, right? Wrong. An event can be seen because it is scripted. It seems that every event in history seems to be scripted. This script is written as a daily routine in one's life while in a family or working for a government. It's the same for some and different for others, but there seems to be a script written for every event. As I was growing up, like many of my kind, I went to school to learn things, but I felt my life was following a script, even when I got older. But this script changes to another daily routine as one gets older. Now, while a script is written for each life, why does violence occur in each event in one's...

« Une bouffée d’air frais pour la politique climatique, une lecture essentielle. » William W. Hogan – Harvard Kennedy School "La montée du niveau des mers va provoquer une inondation des côtes." "Les ouragans et les tornades deviennent plus violents et plus fréquents." "Le changement climatique sera un désastre économique." Nous sommes abreuvés de ce type de message angoissants, tous présentés comme des faits établis. Pourtant, ce livre nous rappelle qu’en l’état actuel de nos connaissances, ces affirmations sont profondément inexactes. Au sujet du changement climatique, médias, responsables politiques et parfois d’éminents scientifiques ont tendance à clore tout débat en affirmant que "la science a parlé", que le consensus est total. En réalité, de la recherche fondamentale aux analyses journalistiques en passant par les rapports d’évaluation du GIEC, cet ouvrage montre comment le circuit de l’information est l’objet de grandes incompréhensions et parfois même de désinformation. Des questions essentielles restent sans réponse. Le climat est en train de changer, mais le pourquoi et le comment ne sont pas aussi clairs qu’on le croit, pas...

New York Times bestselling author Katherine Stone writes from her heart to yours . . . Love, passion, betrayal, and danger amid the glitter of Manhattan . . . As Melanie gazed into the pond of champagne, her reflection shimmered back at her in honey ripples—her reflection and his. “Do you know the legend of Narcissus?” he asked. It was a taunt, a reminder of her vanity, and proof that yesterday's gentle moments in the park were a mirage after all. “I'm not admiring myself,” she replied. “Neither was Narcissus. He was a twin. He and his sister looked very much alike. When she died, he spent endless hours gazing at his reflection because it reminded him of her.” “I always thought . . . wasn’t there something about a wood nymph named Echo?” Charles smiled. “There are two versions of the myth, and mythologists are divided to this day.” “Poor Narcissus. What a bad rap. It’s hard enough to be a twin.” Melanie spoke without thinking. Here she was, telling Charles Sinclair the truth again. “Hard enough,” he agreed. Brooke and Melanie Chandler are so different it’s hard to believe that they’re sisters, much less twins. One is a serious, brilliant...

Número de Páginas: 393

When John Hardin’s brother, a priest, apparently commits suicide, he goes to his brother’s parish in Philadelphia to find out the truth of what happened. The events of the suicide are revealed to him by the pastor and by a possessed man through a series of short stories. Painted Demons presents a series of violent confrontations between people and elements they see as evil. The reader may not always agree with those judgments; where a character names evil, the reader may see justice, sickness or blind authority. But before that realization, the reader must often wait to see from which character or source the horror will come. In each case, normal people are introduced leading average lives; but their existence becomes threatened by something or someone they have previously known as sane and safe: an elevator, a city bus, a bit of trivia, a parent, a spouse. The stories always encase a vein of normalcy, Character and relationships become the backbone of each story and contrast with the fast plot, violence, and horror which develop to drive each story to its climax. Along with the horror, a main goal of the collection is the surprise of unpredictability from story to story. Most ...
