In the forbidden deserts of Yemen, a structure has been found - a buried pyramid - thousands of years older than anything previously known. And indications are, it was buried on purpose. What is discovered inside could prove that we're not alone in the universe. And terrifyingly, after 7000 years, there is a biological obscenity that remains, not yet dead. Ancient writing suggests the pyramid's builders have been taking humans for reasons that will tear at all sanity, and when evidence is found that in remote corners of the world people are still disappearing, the HAWCs are called to action. In a final battle across two worlds - with the fate of the planet at stake - Alex Hunter and his team will be pushed to their very limits as they confront a horrifying and deadly army. In The Well of Hell, bestselling author Greig Beck constructs a tale of blood-curdling, Lovecraftian horror - this latest battle for honor, family and the world cements his status as one of the premier action-horror writers today.
"Ben Perkins is back! It feels so good to say that. Twenty-three years ago, when Rob Kantner introduced his Detroit PI in the short story "C Is for Cookie," he probably had no idea he was heralding in a new era of mystery fiction. Before Rob, the private eye genre was glutted with down-in-their-luck losers who wore trench coats and talked like Bogart. Stereotypes ruled the paperback racks, and a revamp was sorely needed. Rob's genius was to give his hero something more than cliched one-liners and a drinking problem. Namely, a life." J. A. Konrath, from his introduction This collection includes 18 stories featuring Ben Perkins, from the earliest part of his career to the latest chapter. The final story, "Sex and Violins" has never before been published."
In 1989, anti-government demonstrators rise up in Tiananmen Square. Ang Chun is one of the rebel leaders. As the world watches, the army of the People’s Republic of China ruthlessly quashes the rebellion -- at the price of lives. Ang Chun’s is one of them. Ang’s naive 20-year-old son, Lew Chun, is marked as the next victim. Through the aid of smugglers who deal in human cargo, Lew Chun escapes, making his way to the U.S. with only a few dollars in his pocket and zero American connections. All he has to guide him is a name -- Shawn Lin, his mother’s cousin in New York City’s Chinatown. After landing, Lew Chun heads east. But numerous obstacles block him -- trackers, thugs, tyrannical farmers who make Lew Chun an indentured slaughterer of animals. Whatever pity he has for those creatures is extinguished by a will to survive -- a will that eventually gets him to Chinatown with bloody hands. There, Shawn Lin hires the young man as a cook. But things are not what they seem in the place the Chinese call the Gold Mountain. Lew Chun learns that his kindly benefactor is a major trafficker in drugs and human beings, a trafficker with enormous power and influence -- in effect, a Chinese Godfather. Lew Chun rapidly advances from kitchen worker to star chef of his own restaurant once Shawn Lin is impressed by the newcomer’s skills. Shawn Lin also values Lew Chun's innocence -- for Lew Chun is to be the legitimate side of his cousin’s vast criminal operation. Lew Chun is unwilling at first, but he begins to appreciate the privileges of Shawn Lin’s world and to understand its workings.
Americans have a gift for coining proverbs. "A picture is worth a thousand words" was not, as you might imagine, the product of ancient Chinese wisdom -- it was actually minted by advertising executive Fred Barnard in a 1921 advertisement for Printer's Ink magazine. After all, Americans are first and foremost a practical people and proverbs can be loosely defined as pithy statements that are generally accepted as true and useful. The next logical step would be to gather all of this wisdom together for a truly American celebration of shrewd advice.A Dictionary of American Proverbs is the first major collection of proverbs in the English language based on oral sources rather than written ones. Listed alphabetically according to their most significant key word, it features over 15,000 entries including uniquely American proverbs that have never before been recorded, as well as thousands of traditional proverbs that have found their way into American speech from classical, biblical, British, continental European, and American literature. Based on the fieldwork conducted over thirty years by the American Dialect Society, this volume is complete with historical references to the earliest written sources, and supplies variants and recorded geographical distribution after each proverb.Many surprised await the reader in this vast treasure trove of wit and wisdom. Collected here are nuggets of popular wisdom on all aspects of American life: weather, agriculture, travel, money, business, food, neighbors, friends, manners, government, politics, law, health, education, religion, music, song, and dance. And, to further enhance browsing pleasure, the editors have provided a detailed guide to the use of the work. While it's true that many of our best known proverbs have been supplied by the ever-present "Anonymous," many more can be attributed to some very famous Americans, like Ernest Hemingway, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas Alva Edison, Abigail Adams, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, to name but a few offered in this fascinating collection.Who wouldn't want to know the origin of "the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings?" This uniquely American proverb and many more are gathered together in A Dictionary of American Proverbs. A great resource for students and scholars of literature, psychology, folklore, linguistics, anthropology, and cultural history, this endlessly intriguing volume is also a delightful companion for anyone with an interest in American culture.
The Badwater Ultramarathon is commonly referred to as ‘the toughest footrace on the planet.’ In 2003, defending champion Pam Reed, Dean Karnazes and 71 other runners took the ultimate challenge of running 135 miles in California from Badwater to the portals of Mount Whitney. Their journey would take them through the hostile environment of Death Valley and subject them to temperatures ranking among the highest ever recorded on earth. Twenty-five runners tell of their adventures in arguably the absolute toughest of ‘the toughest footrace on the planet’– the good, the bad and yes, the ugly – in this incredible and fascinating compilation. You are certain to gain a respect for the runners you will meet and perhaps an even greater respect for the area known as Death Valley. The runners – who experienced heat exhaustion, dehydration, nausea, blisters, hallucinations, and fatigue during the race – competed in temperatures literally ‘a few degrees from hell.’
Enmeshed in revolutionary politics and faced with imminent death, it took a series of extraordinary spiritual encounters to bring Grott to a dramatic change of life direction. She did not realize she had been on a life long quest for the answer to "Where was God during the Holocaust?" until she found her answers. In her search for meaning, and then healing and reconciliation, she gives us a rare opportunity to witness the extremes of behavior a seeker may turn to before finding a way to end the cycle of assault and retribution. This unusual story is told from an integrated, heartfelt, political and spiritual perspective.
