In Chris Sharp's new epic fantasy Cold Counsel, Slud of the Blood Claw Clan, Bringer of Troubles, was born at the heart of the worst storm the mountain had ever seen. Slud's father, chief of the clan, was changed by his son's presence. For the first time since the age of the giants, he rallied the remaining trolls under one banner and marched to war taking back the mountain from the goblin clans.
However, the long-lived elves remembered the brutal wars of the last age, and did not welcome the return of these lesser-giants to martial power. Twenty thousand elves marched on the mountain intent on genocide. They eradicated the entire troll species--save two. Aunt Agnes, an old witch from the Iron Wood, carried Slud away before the elves could find them. Their existence remained hidden for decades, and in that time, Agnes molded Slud to become her instrument of revenge. For cold is the counsel of women.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
CHRIS SHARP grew up in the suburban wonderland of Alexandria, VA, where he cut his nerd teeth playing role-playing games and making gore movies with his friends. He studied English Literature and Anthropology at Brown University, and Mayan Archaeology at the Harvard Field School in Honduras. He then spent sixteen years in Brooklyn, NY, where he worked in film and commercial production by day, and was yet another wannabe novelist by night. Some of the films he made with his childhood friends have gained international distribution and won numerous awards at festivals around the world. His first novel, The Elementalists, is the first in a dark YA series and was called one of the "Overlooked Books of 2014" by Slate Magazine. Chris now lives in Concord, MA, with his wife, daughter and an insufferable cat named Goblin.

Paperback. Etat : Good. It's 1942 and the Nazis are determined to prevent Dr. Edwin Conway from giving America his work on developing a jet engine. In Operation Grab Bag, the prequel to Operation Pastorius, Conway and his two adult children were smuggled out of Germany by Frank Sweeney, an American pilot who is now full-time with the O.S.S. The Nazis have sent two U-boats to America. Each sub is sending ashore a team of four men. Their mission is to blow up munition plants, key bridges, and poison the country's water supply. Their efforts are designed to disrupt the American military supply chain, terrorize American citizens, and create doubt as to whether America can win the war in Europe. Two of the saboteurs have been pulled off the main mission and given a new, urgent assignment: eliminate Edwin Conway, thereby crushing America's ability to develop the jet engine technology for its Air Force. Sweeney, who has fallen in love with Leigh Conway, Edwin's daughter, gets involved when an attempt is made on Edwin's life, right before his eyes. Working closely with his father and his boss George Parker, Frank must find Conway's attackers and the local spy who is helping them, all the while trying to determine how deep the Nazi sabotage network runs in America.
