Who Is 4 a Treasure

Who Is 4 a Treasure
by Bryan Haggerty

What do you get if you put an incompetent inventor, a warrior woman, a librarian 4th class and a semi-visible pickpocket together. You could try, but you’ll find it easier if you just read this book to find out.

In truth this is not really the story of a treasure hunt, although there is one on these pages. Nor is it the tale of four incompetent friends blundering from one misadventure into another hopeless situation; although you may be forgiven for thinking so. Oh no, this is a tale about luck. With a lost treasure and a useless map our four adventures are going to need all the luck they can find. Technically they only want good luck, but they find themselves taking allsorts of the stuff.

Set in a world where anything can happen, does and then asks for a refund, you know you’re in for a few surprises and a host of laughs.

“A real page turner with the humor of Terry Pratchet and Douglas Adams. The adventure of JRR Tolkin and J.K Rowling. The characterization of someone who has cool characters. This book is all that, only better.” Someone who read it.

The Mysteries

The Mysteries
Unveiling the Knowledge of Subtle Energy in Ritual
By Bernard Heuvel

The Mysteries The Mysteries Unveiling the Knowledge of Subtle Energy in Ritual By Bernard Heuvel In this book we will go on a visionary quest for the ancient Mysteries through research of mysterious and sometimes obscure literature. We speak about the hidden esoteric meaning of the sacramental systems, which form the basis of the various religious practices. For practical reasons, I have limited this research to the influence of Christian and Masonic sacramental systems. Maintaining a subtle energy grid or matrix in a negative way by desecration is the way to keep the individuals in their own thought prisons. Creating a positive energy grid by consecration can help liberate individuals and beneficially influence collective consciousness.

eNGy Business Cartoons Vol 4

eNGy Business Cartoons Vol 4
Computers lie and Cheat, and That’s Why They Are Indispensable to Business
by Wilson Ng

Engy is a new comic strip that businessman, Wilson Ng, after over 25 years of exposure to the entrepreneur world has created. It is a new avenue of expression in his coming continuing study of management and technology. The strip revolves on business and office politics, and the hilarious world of a group of people working on a technology company as they try to elbow each other to win and survive in the rat race. It is meant as an entertainment medium, and as with most comics, relies on exaggeration to create reaction. This strip is not meant to educate people on how to manage a business, nor does it bear any resemblance to the management or personalities in the actual world.

Charles de Lint’s Spiritwalk

Charles de Lint’s Spiritwalk
by Patrick Nielsen Hayden

Excerpt taken directly from source…

Charles de Lint’s Spiritwalk (1992) is the sequel to Moonheart, his groundbreaking novel about the people in and around a house in modern Ottawa that straddles this world and another one. Here is the same cast of characters, as they deal with a pair of very different threats to the ancient house. As in Moonheart, de Lint skilfully combines a contemporary sensibility, a great sensitivity to the rhythms and patterns of myth and folktale, and a set of simply likeable characters whose lives you find yourself wanting to hang out in.

3 Fantasy Ebooks by Jeff Inlo

Delver Magic Book I: Sanctum’s Breach
http://www.sitelane.com/ebooks/delvermagic1/
by Jeff Inlo

A rolling tremor passes through the land of Uton signaling a return of long absent magic as well as an ancient evil that accompanies it. Ryson Acumen, purebred delver, senses the changes throughout the land. In his investigations, he learns that legends he considered fables hold more truth than fantasy. The delver encounters elves and learns the Sphere of Ingar, a talisman that captured all magical energies long ago, is free from its tomb in Sanctum Mountain. As violent, evil creatures return to shred the very fabric of reality, the sphere gains awareness and chooses to spew corrupted magical energies to obliterate all life.

The sphere must be destroyed, but it rests within Sanctum, a hollow mountain with a single path to its center. The way to the sphere remains defended by devices created long ago, forged by members of each race to thwart entry to the mountain’s core. Those that wish to defeat the sphere must not only overcome these barriers, they must conquer the mistrust which has flourished during the long period of separation. Human, elf, dwarf, algor and delver must reunite to defeat the obstacles that now protect the sphere. Magic, though corrupt, is harnessed to fight off strange beasts of evil that once again walk this land. Once inside Sanctum, representatives of each race face the secrets of the ages that once undone will change their lives forever.

Resonance

http://www.humor.me.uk/mambo/

Graham Smith is a 33 year-old office messenger. To the outside world he’s an obsessive-compulsive mute – weird but harmless. But to Graham Smith, it’s the world that’s weird. And far from harmless. He sees things others can’t . . . or won’t. He knows that roads can change course, people disappear, office blocks migrate across town. All at night when no one’s looking. The world’s an unstable place, still growing, sloughing off layers of reality like dead skin. One day you drive by, and it’s changed.

Annalise Mercado hears voices, all from girls calling themselves Annalise. Sometimes she thinks they’re spirit guides, sometimes she thinks she’s crazy. But then they tell her about Graham Smith and the men who want him dead. So begins the story of two people whose lives appear fragmented across alternate realities and how, together, they hold the key to the future of a billion planets. . .

Dropping the Kids Off at the Pool : A Bathroom Book

Dropping the Kids Off at the Pool : A Bathroom Book
by Bradley Meehan

Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl. Floating one for the Gipper. Dropping the kids off at the pool. No matter what euphemistic phrase you’ve given it, there’s no better time to pick up a book than when you’re sitting on the toilet. In an age of e-books, text paging, and email, the bathroom has become the last haven for reading a real book; it is the library of the house.

This book contains a collection of tried and true jokes, advice, and observations from my stand-up comedy performances and daily journal. Each twisted passage has been performed on stage in front of some spectacular audiences. Are you sitting down for this?

Reviews

“Read it and pee”
Wendy Liebman, Comedian

“The finest bathroom book ever! Meehan is one funny mother flusher…”
DC Benny, Comedian

“You’re not right”
Sabrina Matthews, Comedian

“Brad has created a book that cures drug addiction and/or severe alcoholism. Brad should be knighted by the queen and handed every literary honor known to mankind for his achievement…I have personally ordered 27 copies for delivery to every drunk and junkie I know…”
Emery Emery, The Aristocrats

Hack

Hack
by Peter Wrenshall

In his gripping new Young Adult novel, Hack, Peter Wrenshall gets at the heart and soul of the teenage computer criminal. Karl Ripley is lonely and isolated. His mother works the late shift at the local casino, and to while away the time, he begins to hack into other people’s computers. At first it’s fun and exciting, and by the time he’s sixteen, he breaks into the Pentagon computers, an act that the FBI calls the biggest military hack ever. But then Karl’s friend turns him in, an act of betrayal that has Karl obsessed with revenge.

Two days before his release from prison, Karl is offered a job by the FBI. They want him to be bait for a terrorist who is recruiting young hackers to steal important state secrets. Karl begins to juggle his FBI undercover work, and his plot to get even with his friend, and all seems to be working until he meets and falls for a young woman. But is she what she seems to be? As Karl wrestles with his old life of crime and his desire for happiness with this woman, he discovers that his life is in danger.
