Rylan and his partner in crime, anthropologist Ursula Deiss, push deep into a dangerous rain forest in Madagascar with a group of scientists. In the jungle, they find a population of cryptic man-like primates. Their discovery quickly draws them into a vortex of an ancient conspiracy that is bound to change mankind's destiny. Enriched with extensive facts drawn from the fields of anthropology, swarm intelligence, and information science, Talus takes the readers from one vibrant location to another, zapping them from Madagascar's uncharted rain forests to Oxford's dark libraries and from Paris's melancholic back streets to Sicily's sunny vineyards.

Steve Rasnic Tem once said his writing was filtered through “a different lens to view the world.” With a style all his own, Tem has galvanized and thrilled fans of weird fiction worldwide. His efforts have earned him the Bram Stoker, World Fantasy and British Fantasy Awards. His métier is the monstrous secret, the unsettling darkness hidden within all of us. “Bedtime Story” opens with a line that defines Tem’s style: “I don’t know why bad things happen. There’s never a good reason. They just do.” The story introduces us to a nightmare conjured from the mind of a child, preparing to victimize her own father. “The Unmasking” takes us into the tortured psyche of a horribly deformed recluse obsessed with the intricacies of human skin. “Outside,” one of several homages to the great H.P. Lovecraft, melds Tem’s uniquely poetic style with the cosmic horror created by that twisted gentleman from Providence. “The Masque of Edgar Allan Poe” focuses on Tem’s fondness for mask imagery, and how the veneer we wear on the surface can become immobile, consuming our souls. “The Doll Thief” is a deeply disturbing exercise in pathos, perversion and psychosis. In “Pulled Down to Sleep,” a man fights to remain awake, knowing that sleep will doom him to a life of unspeakable nightmares. “Worms” is a frightening tale of vengeance that will literally leave your skin crawling. With “Mother Hag,” Tem gives us a “grim” fairy tale about monstrous motherly love, courtesy of a grotesque, carnivorous witch.

Enduring the Seasons of Marriage is all about how to have a long-lasting and fulfilling marriage. Writing in a folksy and conversational style, the authors make a comparison of farming and marriage. They relate the farmer's response to the demands and changes of each season in nature for an optimum crop to that of the married couple's reaction to the difficulties and necessary adjustments to each season of marriage for a successful relationship. Using illustrations from their own experiences of fifty-plus years of marriage, they offer suggestions for dealing with those situations that can cause stress in a marriage. Then in a clever and interesting approach, they accentuate the fact that a marriage based on God's design brings the most desirable marriage relationship. Enduring the Seasons of Marriage written by Ed and Kay Buckner is a refreshing and heart-stirring reminder of God's great gift. This amazing couple not only hit the mark in print-they have lived by the lessons they are now sharing with others. Every married couple, and those planning for marriage, would add value and depth to their relationship as a result of reading this wonderful book. Enjoy the journey! Dr. Danny Sinquefield: Pastor, Faith Baptist Church, Bartlett, TN and recent past President of the Tennessee Baptist Convention. Enduring the Seasons of Marriage brings to reality what Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 3:1, "For everything there is a season..." It describes how we can meet the challenges of marriage and enjoy the fruit of marriage no matter where we are in the journey. The analogy between the seasons of life represents a clear understanding of how God designed marriage relationships for every stage of life and how we should live in them to the fullest, to God's glory.
