"Includes the rediscovered part four"--Cover.
Here for the first time in a single volume are three of Richard Bach's most compelling works about flight. From his edgy days as a USAF Alert pilot above Europe in an armed F84-F Thunderstreak during the Cold War to a meander across America in a 1929 biplane, Bach explores the extreme edges of the air, his airplane, and himself in glorious writing about how it feels to climb into a machine, leave the earth, and fly. Only a handful of writers have translated their experiences in the cockpit into books that have mesmerized generations.
THE STORY SO FAR Close your eyes for just a moment and imagine a small fishing village, where the tiny cottages tumble down the hill to the sea. Can you see the seagulls flying and swooping in between the rooftops? Their shrill cries to each other echoing around the village. Lovely, isn't it, but not here in Robin Hood's bay. These books are adventure stories with twisted tales of danger, ghost ships, pirates from the past, evil Goth gulls and the Bay seagulls, who think they are humans and not gulls. Their leader is Sebastian Seagull. He is very old and tired and doesn't quite understand why the young gulls colour their feathers and pretend to be humans instead of doing normal seagull things. Book One - Sebastian Seagull A small boy discovers a gold coin in the sand and this triggers the appearance of an orange mist and a ghost pirate ship on the horizon. The village has slipped into a time warp and everybody is in danger. On board the ship is the hated Captain Tobias and his evil parrot, Bilgie. Sebastian seagull remembers them from his past life when he was a cabin boy on that very ship. He was killed by the Captain. Now he has been reborn as a seagull, but Sebastian has a secret nobody knows about. He can turn himself into a mighty ghost gull whenever the pirate ship appears. Somehow the Bay gulls have to defend their village, but they are too busy playing football or strumming on a guitar. Scot gull is playing his bagpipes and Super gull is busy training to fly into space. As for Greedy gull, he just can't stop pinching ice creams from tourists and stuffing himself with meat pies and cake. Sharon, a pretty diva gull, spends her days preening her bright pink and sparkly feathers to even notice what is going on in Bay. Can they save the village from the pirates? Will their enemy Dracula, the leader of the Goth gulls from Whitby, help them? Book Two - The Storm A severe snowstorm descends on the village. The gulls are close to being frozen to death. Can Kevin, a cave bat who lives at Boggle Hole, help them? Will Noo Noo, the kind but lonely Dolphin, let them stay in his wonderful blue grotto? As for Dracula gull and his evil Goth gulls, in the ruined abbey a few miles away in Whitby, they face not only the freezing weather, but also being eaten alive by vampire bats. Will they survive? Yes, of course they do. They may like living in a fantasy world, but deep down they have a survival instinct. Book Three - The Abandoned Chick Spring arrives and life starts to get back to normal for the Bay gulls, until one day a stranger arrives in Bay and everything changes. Read on to find out what happens next to the Robin Hood's Bay seagulls ...
Continuing the tradition of parodying all things sacred, the author of The XXXX Files and PMT takes up the reigns of satire by rewriting the essential 1970s hippy handbook Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Instead of a seagull for a hero, this updated classic features a bloated, cynical, grungy pigeon, who looks not to the skies for inspiration, but to the London Underground. Cutting corners wherever possible and living the life of a fully fledged MTV-generation feral pigeon, Jonathan's rite of passage is more a celebration of modern-day teenage apathy set against a backdrop of 90s Pop Culture and Victorian underground architecture than a voyage of delicious self-discovery. Matching the original page-for-page in content and layout, Jonathan Livingston Trafalgar Square Pigeon is a modern-day morality tale that will, by its very nature, attract plenty of attention whilst ever so gently ruffling a few feathers along the way.
This is the author's account of his near death and recovery from injuries received in the crash of his seaplane, Puff, in 2012.
In the two thousand years that have elapsed since the time of Christ, Christians have been as much divided by their faith as united, as much at odds as in communion. And the contents of Christian confession have developed with astonishing energy. How can believers claim a faith that has been passed down through the ages while recognizing the real historical contingencies that have shaped both their doctrines and their divisions? In this carefully argued essay, David Bentley Hart critiques the concept of "tradition" that has become dominant in Christian thought as fundamentally incoherent. He puts forth a convincing new explanation of Christian tradition, one that is obedient to the nature of Christianity not only as a "revealed" creed embodied in historical events but as the "apocalyptic" revelation of a history that is largely identical with the eternal truth it supposedly discloses. Hart shows that Christian tradition is sustained not simply by its preservation of the past, but more essentially by its anticipation of the future. He offers a compelling portrayal of a living tradition held together by apocalyptic expectation--the promised transformation of all things in God.
A half-mile up, suspended by nylon wings and the promise of good lift, life hanges on a pledge. Richard Bach made that pledge, fifty years before, to return to the frightened child he used to be and teach him everything he had learned from living. His promise went unfulfilled until one day, hovering between earth and sky, Richard encounters Dickie Bach, age nine--irrepressible challenger of every notion Richard embraces.... In this exhilarating adventure, Richard and Dickie probe the timeless questions both need answered if either is to be whole: Why does growing spiritually mean never growing up? Can we peacefully coexist with the consequences of our choices? Why is it that only by running from safety can we make our wildest dreams take flight?
