Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy. Views: 136

On their last
assignment, GORGON agents Chris Gibson and his partner John Soong
protected Russian mob lawyer Andrei Voronin rather than killing him.
They covered Andrei's tracks, forged a shaky relationship, and their
international intelligence and paramilitary group staged Andrei's death
and took him into the fold. Nikita Kazakov, a Russian cop who had used
Andrei as a source and promised him protection, plots to avenge his
protege. He soon tracks down Chris-the "killer"-only to find a man he
desires, and Chris is just as intrigued. Amidst the danger of the
unsolved mystery still lingering around Andrei, Chris and Nikita stalk
each other, meet for heated sex, and try to work out who the other is:
criminal, cop, hitman... or lover. Views: 136

"The true sequel to Twain's masterpiece." —The Christian Science Monitor At the start of this exuberant adventure story, Huck Finn's life is back to normal in St. Petersburg, Missouri: The Widow Douglas expects him to wear clean clothes and eat with a knife and fork, and Jim now gets paid two dollars a week for the same chores he did as a slave. But when tragedy strikes and Huck is framed for the murder of Judge Thatcher, the two old friends have no choice but to finally "light out for the Territory"—and straight into the chaos of the California Gold Rush. With tenacious lawman Bulldog Barrett in hot pursuit, Huck and Jim zigzag west, encountering a colorful cast of con artists, vixens, outlaws, and Indians along the way. Huck's dastardly Pap even makes an appearance, rising from a watery grave to menace his son once again. When the adventurers visit a rowdy San Francisco theater, they find their greatest surprise yet: A... Views: 135

EDITORIAL REVIEW:
Advance Praise for Carousel Tides:*
*
“*Carousel Tides* pulls you into the chill foggy reality of peeling-paint sand-grit coastal Maine outside of tourist season and then hands you something else -- the hidden world lurking in shadows or under the land's surface or just offshore, where Black Dogs hunt the night and selkies toss unpleasant truths over their shoulders before diving into the next wave. In the center of this, Kate Archer tends and guards one of the spookiest carousels this side of Ray Bradbury and wonders what has happened to her grandmother. The old woman sent her a letter, left papers deeding over the carousel and old house and the Land (meaning much more than property), and vanished, telling the spirits of the land and sea that she expected to be back before the turning of the year.
“Now March has come and gone and Kate must return from self-exile to take up powers and responsibilities she has renounced, or dying will be the least of her problems . . .
“Sharon Lee weaves fantasy into reality so deftly that you scarcely notice when you slip across the edge. And once you're there, the story's own magic won't let you turn back from the strong characters, deep mysteries, and even deeper danger.”
—James A. Hetley**, author of *Dragon's Eye, Dragon's Teeth, *and *Dragon's Bones.*
.
“Sharon Lee's finely observed detail evokes magic in Maine and gives conviction to six alternate, richly-inhabited universes.” —**Rob** **Weisbrot**, author of Xena: Warrior Princess* and Hercules, the Legendary Journeys: The Official Companion*
“Sharon Lee is one of my all-time favorite authors, a gifted storyteller whose work never fails to enchant. With Carousel* Tides* she gives her fans another opportunity to spend time with fascinating characters, bringing them to life in a place that becomes so real you can smell the salt air around you. Her fine hand with detail never lets the suspense falter, as mystery, folklore, and magic are artfully interwoven into a thoroughly engaging tale. Carousel Tides *will leave you eagerly awaiting the next novel by this master.” —**Jan Burke**, author of *The Messenger*, *Bones*, and *Bloodlines* Views: 135
