Paperback. Etat : Good. A magical true story that will challenge your beliefs. At 21, Marina Day received disarming news. A daunting diagnosis left her feeling thunderstruck, and questioning her future as she battled for her life.As luck would have it, though, her uncle Michael could relate. Having conquered a life-threatening challenge of his own, he was uniquely fit to offer guidance and support. A psychic bodybuilder with a quick, unbridled wit, he didn't look-or act-the part that he agreed to play. And yet, to be a sounding board and ally for his niece, he made himself available for pep talks on demand and traveled to the hospital routinely during her stays. Moreover, when her fears and doubts began to escalate, he dutifully responded to her questions and concerns. Like "Why do people cling to indefensible beliefs? Why do bad things happen, and what purpose does it serve? How can people worship God and do ungodly things? What happens when we die, and can we influence our fate? And if there is a destination for departed souls, can they communicate with us in an explicit way?" Disheartened after suffering several setbacks and defeats, Marina also entertained the prospect of her death. And then, she vowed to wire her uncle from the Other Side. "If there's an afterlife," she said, "I'm going to give you proof. I'll send a sign-a clear one-that's specifically for you. One that you'll discover in an unexpected way, and won't be able to explain, dismiss, or overlook. In view of this, the story takes a fascinating turn, resulting in an outcome with an otherworldly gift. This story will invite you to rethink how you view death, as well as how to best support a loved one in decline. It also lightens heavy hearts and opens rigid minds, revealing that, without a doubt, we're more than we may seem.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. (This is the black and white edition of this book. There is also a deluxe color edition with a full color interior.) On August 28, 2011 Hurricane Irene, now diminished to a tropical storm, arrived in Vermont. Her once mighty winds were now little more than a stiff breeze and yet the storm drenched the state with over eight inches of rain, overwhelming mountain streams and creating ribbons of destruction that swept away homes, bridges, and roads. While damages were statewide, the region hardest hit was the watershed of the White River where entire communities were cut off from the rest of the world. How these communities responded is a story of courage and cooperation, revealing a side of the human condition that isn't seen often on the evening news. This is the story of Irene--the before, during, and after--as it appeared originally on the pages of one of the nation's great weekly newspapers, The Herald of Randolph.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. All Cry Chaos, a debut thriller by the immensely gifted Leonard Rosen, is a masterful and gripping tale that literally reaches for the heavens. The action begins when mathematician James Fenster is assassinated on the eve of a long-scheduled speech at a World Trade Organization meeting. The hit is as elegant as it is bizarre. Fenster's Amsterdam hotel room is incinerated, yet the rest of the building remains intact. The murder trail leads veteran Interpol agent Henri Poincare on a high-stakes, world-crossing quest for answers. Together with his chain-smoking, bon vivant colleague, Serge Laurent, Poincare pursues a long list of suspects: the Peruvian leader of the Indigenous Liberation Front, Rapture-crazed militants, a hedge fund director, Fenster's elusive ex-fiancee, and a graduate student in mathematics. Poincare begins to make progress in America, but there is a prodigious hatred trained on him--some unfinished business from a terrifying former genocide case--and he is called back to Europe to face the unfathomable. Stripped down and in despair, tested like Job, he realizes the two cases might be connected--and he might be the link. This first installment in the Henri Poincare series marries sharp, smart mystery to deep religious themes that will keep both agnostics and believers turning pages until the shattering revelatory end. Anyone who enjoys the work of John le Carre, Scott Turow, Dan Brown, and Stieg Larsson will relish Rosen's storytelling and his resourceful, haunted protagonist. Others will appreciate his dazzling prose. Still others, the way he bends the thriller form in unconventional ways toward a higher cause, in the vein of Henning Mankell in The Man from Beijing. In short, All Cry Chaos promises to become a critical success that garners a broad readership throughout the nation and across the globe.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. The town of Soldiers Grove is nestled amongst the driftless hills of southwestern Wisconsin. Its winters are long, its warmer seasons bright and challenging. The population is fewer than 600, including those residing in the senior citizens home. Two of these seniors, Cyril and Louise, have come to live there. Unlikely as it may seem, for they come from very diverse backgrounds, they form a close friendship, and their growing attachment sparks them to adventures and unlikely locations. Ultimately they face frightening circumstances which test them to their limits, while binding and nurturing their growing love for one another. Instead of slipping gracefully away into old age, Cyril and Louise are compelled to protect themselves against a vicious threat when Balaclava, an out-of-town armed sociopath, relentlessly attempts to rob Cyril not only of his life savings but, if necessary, take his life as well. How they ultimately cope with this threat and resolve this crisis has the makings of a first class thriller. This thoughtful, bitter-sweet love story represents and chronicles much about our world and the passage of time in this accomplished work by a prize-winning writer.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Sam Acquillo--ex-boxer, ex-corporate executive, and accidental hero of The Last Refuge--can't seem to stay out of trouble. All he really wants to do is hammer a few nails into his ramshackle cottage, drink a great deal of vodka, and hang out with his dog, Eddie. But when a car bomb outside a trendy waterfront restaurant kills a prominent financial consultant, injuring Sam and his lawyer friend, he is drawn into the investigation. Why would someone go to such lengths not only to kill someone but to annihilate them? Where the police have met roadblocks, Sam makes inroads with his trademark wit, instinct, and charm. Set against the backdrop of Southampton, Long Island, Two Time is full of moody sunsets, beachfront properties, and beautiful people with an extraordinary amount of money and very dangerous secrets.…
