Daviot, a world of magic faces impending destruction by an ancient curse. Magic has proved to be their ultimate undoing. Prophecy states that none of their own would be able to stop The Cracking. The hero of prophecy was awaited. A stranger arrives atop an iron horse, from a blinding light, a stranger to all but the woman Liesh. Her dreams have been haunted by this strangers face for years. He is the man to take up the sacred Sword of Braelor and save the Davioti from their shortsightedness. He is Harley Davidson. His past is fog of disjointed memories and illusive images. The only thing real to him is his love for the woman Liesh. For this woman he agrees to take up Braelors Sword to make things right. A magical stone must be found and restored to stop their impending doom. The Stone of Intent, instrumental in causing their plight, the stone was long ago broken in two and hidden away. Upon the motorcycle that bears his name, Harley and Liesh set out on a quest to retrieve the stone pieces, restore it to its original state and call upon its power in an effort to avert catastrophe. Their road is long and difficult. Evil influences scheme in the background in the guise of the elders and Vellis the god of the dead. Influences determined to stop Harley from completing his task. The would be hero is forced to come to terms with his value system and inborn sense of right and wrong as he counters each and every obstacle that they encounter, and to chose between what he has in the here and now or what he left behind, choices that will ultimately decide the fate of a world.

Now he tells his stories about the journey and his return, on Ole Mule and the black stallion Thunder, to his home in Stewart County, Tennessee. He recollects places and people along the way.

Makenna has a past she'd rather bury deep in her mind. Unfortunately, as the sole guardian for her five siblings, forgetting where they came from isn't possible. All she can hope for is to provide her loved ones the kind of untroubled childhood she'd always dreamed of and keep them far away from where she grew up. Friendships and relationships, especially the romantic variety, don't rank on her priority list. That is until she's introduced to a hot biker whose playful personality and mesmerizing smile would make any woman perk up and take notice, even one with more responsibilities than sense.Thunder has seen it all, done it all, and has no interest in the high maintenance, in-your-face, party girls. Give him a no-frills woman, like the diner's adorable new waitress, who doesn't play games rather than a scantily clad bimbo who manipulates men for sport. Makenna is precisely the kind of fun he needs to celebrate patching with the Hell's Handlers MC. Only he quickly discovers Makenna is a package deal with more baggage than a carefree guy like him can handle. With each passing day, Thunder finds himself increasingly drawn to Makenna despite her mountain of responsibilities and his distrust of relationships. Even crazier is how some of her siblings are working their way under his skin and into his heart, as is Makenna. Just as Thunder starts thinking about dates and promises, the CDMC roars back into his life. They're responsible for his beloved club brother's death, and he wants nothing more than to make them suffer.When the threats start coming, and Makenna finds herself caught in the crossfire, Thunder will discover exactly the kind of man he is, and how far he's willing to go to keep Makenna and her siblings in his life.

Men and women have faithfully served in the armed forces of this nation, fighting evil and terrorism around the globe. Their lives were put on hold as they followed orders to locate and destroy those who wanted to impose their will and lifestyle on others. Those soldiers continue to fight a war long after they return home from the battlefield. Their spouses, children, mothers, fathers, and siblings also fight the long battle against the hidden and disruptive enemy called post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In The Wounds of the Soul, author Jim Money offers a compilation of short stories to foster better understanding of PTSD suffered by those returning from combat; to educate the veteran and his or her family and friends about the symptoms of this complex disorder; and to encourage those affected to seek help. Using a narrative format, the selections describe real-life experiences of a variety of soldiers who spent at least one year in combat in the Republic of South Vietnam. They and their families have been living with PTSD for more than forty years. Written by veterans and veterans family members, the stories provide insight into the many sacrifices soldiers make on behalf of their country.

Now it is possible for the first time to trace in a systematic way the language patterns of one of the greatest poets who have written in English, W. B. Yeats. Like A Concordance to the Poems of Matthew Arnold, the first of the Cornell Concordances that are under the general editorship of Professor Parrish, this volume was produced on an IBM 704 electronic data-processing machine. Computer technique has so advanced that the Yeats concordance includes punctuation and gives cross references for the second parts of hyphenated words. The frequency of every word in Yeats's poems is given, and an appendix lists all indexed words in order of frequency. The body of this book consists of an index of all significant words in Yeats, each word listed in the line or lines in which it occurs. The concordance is based on the variorum text of Yeats, edited by Alspach and Allt, and includes all variants that occur in printed versions of Yeats's poems.

An insightful and comprehensive look at Asia on the rise—a "masterful job of describing Asia's anguish and ambition" (The Washington Post Book World)—from the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists and bestselling authors of Half a Sky and Tightrope The 1997 economic crisss in Asia heaped devastation upon millions. Yet Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn argue that it was the best thing that could have happened to Asia. It destroyed the cronyism, protectionism, and government regulation that had been crippling Asian business for decades, and it left in its wake a vast region of resilient and determined millions poised to wrest economic, diplomatic and military power from the West. Thunder from the East is a riveting look at a complex region, a fascinating panoply of compelling characters, and a prophetic analysis from arguably the West's most informed and intelligent writers on Asia.

We live near the edge—whether in a settlement at the core of the Rockies, a gated community tucked into the wilds of the Santa Monica Mountains, a silicon culture emerging in the suburbs, or, in the future, homesteading on a terraformed Mars. In Imagined Frontiers, urban historian and popular culture scholar Carl Abbott looks at the work of American artists who have used novels, film, television, maps, and occasionally even performance art to explore these frontiers—the metropolitan frontier of suburban development, the classic continental frontier of American settlement, and the yet unrealized frontiers beyond Earth. Focusing on writers and artists working during the past half-century, an era of global economic and social reach, Abbott describes the dialogue between historians and social scientists seeking to understand these frontier places and the artists reimagining them in written and visual fictions. This book offers perspectives on such well-known authors as T. C. Boyle and John Updike and on such familiar movies and television shows as Falling Down and The Sopranos. By putting The Rockford Files and the cult favorite Firefly in conversation with popular fiction writers Robert Heinlein and Stephen King and literary novelists Peter Matthiessen and Leslie Marmon Silko, Abbott interweaves the disparate subjects of western history, urban planning, and science fiction in a single volume. Abbott combines all-new essays with others previously published but substantially revised to integrate western and urban history, literary analysis, and American studies scholarship in a uniquely compelling analysis of the frontier in popular culture.
