Michael and the Electroclan are about to embark on their deadliest mission yet. Some of them may not make it back.

A "beautifully written" collection of works from a lifetime of African safaris, both hunting its wildlife and appreciating its splendor (Sports Afield). In Augusts in Africa, Thomas McIntyre presents the stories he has gathered from four decades of safari trips in Africa—which were some of the most defining times of his life. For those who know the continent well, these tales may read like reflections of their own experiences. For the rest, there is an insight to be found in them. And if there is more than one account on the hunting of the Cape buffalo, that is because the beast represents an ideal combination of size, strength, intelligence, and vehemence— a perfect symbol of what draws people back again and again to Africa. Whether crouched in a blind for hours until he can clearly make out the individual rosettes on a leopard's hide or listening to a professional hunter advise him on what to do when... Views: 612

Janet's husband isn't dead any more; he's been resurrected in digital form from his social media profiles. But there are a few things Janet's keeping from him.Storming out of the house after a fight with my wife, I met a grimy old man wearing a shabby overcoat and playing the saxophone. His white hair stood straight out like a halo around his head, and a thick, white mustache covered the instrument's mouthpiece as he played. I startled; that face belonged to the most famous intellect of modern times. If he was who he seemed, crowds should have been gathering, reporters clamoring for interviews, but nobody recognized him as anything other than an old homeless man--no one, that is, except me.

Literature has never been so literate. Romance, never so romantic. Philosophical musings, never so brooding. Poetry, never so verbose. Since the advent of the Guttenberg press, rarely has a dissertation been so boldly compiled, capturing the essence of human élan vital with such transitoriness.Literature has never been so literate. Romance, never so romantic. Philosophical musings, never so brooding. Poetry, never so verbose. Since the advent of the Guttenberg press, rarely has a dissertation been so boldly compiled, capturing the essence of human élan vital with such transitoriness. This prose is penned with the efficacy of a Chilean rellano; and the voice, a perfect juxtaposition of insouciance and zeal. Little can be said without tarnishing the succulent succinctness of this prophetic syllabus on being human. Like a short, but meaningful journey one embarks on alone, like a solo climber scaling a tall mountain without anyone beside them, each woman, each man and each child must ascend the cliffs demanded of them by The Longest Story in the World to discover their own fateful end.

Even more unsettling is that the Witch of the World has disappeared and a mysterious boy is haunting Milo s dreams in her stead.
But none of these threats compare to what may happen to the world if the humans and the Nightsiders don t unite to fight for each other." Views: 612
