Book excerpt: This discounted ebundle includes: Steeplejack, Firebrand, Guardian “A richly realized world, an intensely likable character, and a mystery to die for." — Cory Doctorow, New York Times-bestselling author Thoughtfully imaginative and action-packed, the Steeplejack trilogy by A.J. Hartley is a thrilling young adult series about Anglet Sutonga, a teenager who solves mysteries in the sprawling city of Bar-Selehm, which is part of a 19th-century South African-inspired fantasy world. Steeplejack: Seventeen-year-old Anglet Sutonga lives and works as a steeplejack in Bar-Selehm, a sprawling city known for its great towers, spires, and smokestacks – and even greater social disparities across race and class. Ang’s world is turned upside-down when her new apprentice Berrit is murdered the same night that the city’s landmark jewel is stolen. As troubles mount in Bar-Selehm, Ang must discover the truth behind both murder and theft soon – or else watch the city descend into chaos. Firebrand: Anglet Sutonga is moving up in the world, helping politician Josiah Willinghouse track down a thief who stole plans for a covert government weapon. Finding him won’t be easy, not when the thief has connections to Elitus, the city’s most powerful and super-exclusive social club. When someone gets murdered there, things definitely do not get any easier. But more is at stake as the city’s recent wave of refugees start to vanish. When Ang connects these two cases, they spark a conflagration of conspiracy which threatens to engulf the city whole. Unless she can stop it. Guardian: This is what Ang knows: A dear friend is accused of murdering the Prime Minister of Bar-Selehm. A mysterious but fatal illness is infecting the poor. A fanatical politician seizes power, unleashing a wave of violent repression over the city. This is what Ang must do: Protect her family. Solve a murder. RESIST, no matter what, before it’s too late.

Book Synopsis Light for the Orphans by : Wilmer Mills
Download or read book Light for the Orphans written by Wilmer Mills and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Robert Penn Warren wrote of his times. "In this century, and moment, of mania,/Tell me a story," doing so in a long poem about the painter. John James Audubon, he might also have been thinking of the poems and characters of Wilmer Mills, who grew up just minutes from where Audubon painted. The two middle sections of this book consist of personal narratives in the voice of a young man coming to terms with his decision not to be a farmer like his father and grandfather. These poems are symbolic of our nation, arguing quietly that, in a way, we are all orphans of the family farm. On either side of his personal account are bookend sections of narrative poems that tell about people from various walks of life. Using the word "orphan" in a broader sense to indicate people who have been marginalized or set apart, either by force or by choice, Mills' poems assert that alienation from a source of meaning in life creates orphans of all ages.

Book Synopsis Sekret Machines Book 1: Chasing Shadows by : Tom DeLonge
Download or read book Sekret Machines Book 1: Chasing Shadows written by Tom DeLonge and published by To The Stars. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who know... that something is going on... The witnesses are legion, scattered across the world and dotted through history, people who looked up and saw something impossible lighting up the night sky. What those objects were, where they came from, and who—or what—might be inside them is the subject of fierce debate and equally fierce mockery, so that most who glimpsed them came to wish they hadn’t. Most, but not everyone. Among those who know what they’ve seen, and—like the toll of a bell that can’t be unrung—are forever changed by it, are a pilot, an heiress, a journalist, and a prisoner of war. From the waning days of the 20th century’s final great war to the fraught fields of Afghanistan to the otherworldly secrets hidden amid Nevada’s dusty neverlands—the truth that is out there will propel each of them into a labyrinth of otherworldly technology and the competing aims of those who might seek to prevent—or harness—these beings of unfathomable power. Because, as it turns out, we are not the only ones who can invent and build...and destroy. Featuring actual events and other truths drawn from sources within the military and intelligence community, Tom DeLonge and A.J. Hartley offer a tale at once terrifying, fantastical, and perhaps all too real. Though it is, of course, a work of... fiction?
Download or read book Fred written by David Hall and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred Dibnah's World celebrates the life and work of Britain's best known steeplejack and national treasure, Fred Dibnhah. Before his death in 2004, Fred presented many popular series, including Magnificent Monuments, The Age of Steam and Made in Britain, all of which attracted viewers in their millions. Fred is the companion to the 12-part BBC2 series celebrating the life of this great man, which combines highlights from some of Dibnah's classic programmes with previously unseen footage. The book can of course go much further than the series, including an extraordinarily account of Fred's childhood which evokes a lost England and our great industrial heritage. Fred's passion for the glories of the Victorian age and his fascination with the landscape he grew up in, plus his admiration for the craftsmen and labourers who made it all possible, captivate us on every page. Fred is the personification of everything that made England great in the first place. And this is a glorious tribute to a man whom millions came to love.

Download or read book Did You Like That? written by Don Haworth and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Fred Dibnah debuted on television in 1979, British audiences immediately embraced a new cultural icon: a steeplejack from Bolton who fell in love with England's decaying industrial landscape and an exhaustive storyteller whose charm and wit was matched only by his down-to-earth manner. The Producer of that first film, Don Haworth, would go on to make nineteen films about this unlikely celebrity and true British eccentric. Did You Like That? collects the best stories from these films: colourful tales told by Fred himself, recounting key moments in his life, his experiences as a steeplejack, his fascination with machinery, his work as an engineer, craftsman, artist, inventor and steam enthusiast, and his forthright views on life in general. Told with true Northern grit, Did You Like That? is the story of a man who never shied away from a hair-raising challenge, and the closest thing to Fred's autobiography we're likely to get. In paperback for the first time, this is Fred's story, in his own words.
