When Brad Shade arrives in Swift Current in the wake of an old friend's suicide, all he wants to do is make an appearance at the funeral and get back home. But Mitzi, the grieving widow, can't believe her husband took his own life, especially when his multimillion-dollar business is thriving. When Shade starts asking questions, he ends up taking a sometimes violent detour through the dark side of a small prairie town that has no shortage of secrets it wants kept at almost any cost. The second in the Brad Shade series, The Black Ace reunites us with the wisecracking former journeyman who never played by a rule he wouldn't bend or break for a win, who always plays to win, and doesn't know how to leave well enough alone.
A teenage girl goes searching for her mother in the City of Sin in this YA fantasy from the New York Times–bestselling coauthor of All of Us Villains. Welcome to New Reynes, the so-called City of Sin, where casino families reign, gangs infest the streets . . . and secrets hide in every shadow. It’s no place for a properly raised young lady. But when her mother goes missing, Enne Salta leaves her finishing school—and her reputation—behind. Following her mother’s trail, she finds herself in the city where no one survives uncorrupted. Frightened and alone, Enne’s only clue leads her to Levi Glaiyser—a street lord and con man in desperate need of the compensation Enne offers. Their search sends this unlikely duo through glamorous casinos, illicit cabarets, and into the clutches of a ruthless Mafia donna. But as Levi’s enemies close in on them, a deadly secret from Enne’s past comes to light and she must surrender herself to the City of Sin —to a vicious game of execution . . . Where the players never win.
Hatred, blackmail, and murder—a Brad Shade hat trick. The Black Ace reunites us with our favourite, savvy fourth-liner, with plot twists, wisecracks, and an ending that could only come from G.B. Joyce. Thanks to Shade’s work at the NHL draft last season, he gets to hold on to his job as scout for L.A.—at least for now. But a journeyman’s work is never done. Shade is checking out the talent in Regina with his old friend and teammate “Chief.” But when they learn of the suicide of an old teammate from their playing days in L.A., they take a sometimes violent detour through the dark side of a small town with no shortage of secrets it wants kept at almost any cost.
The Silver Bayonet: Egypt by Joseph A. McCullough Pdf
Face dangerous new foes, recruit new soldiers, and uncover the mysterious treasures of Ancient Egypt in two new campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play. Somewhere beneath the shifting sands lies the forgotten knowledge of the pharaohs – magic granting power over wind and rain, life and death, and even time itself. Napoleon didn't cross the Mediterranean simply to conquer Egypt, he sought these ancient secrets. No one knows what he found, but his military victories since then speak for themselves. Now, as Bonaparte continues to burn his way through Europe, desperate nations have sent their own special units across the sea to search for a counter and end his rampage. Egypt: Shadow of the Sphinx is a supplement for The Silver Bayonet, in which the players' special units explore the mysteries of this great land, venturing into lost cities, forbidden ruins, and even beneath the Pyramids themselves. Contained within are two campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play. Also included is a new recruitment list as well as a number of new soldier types, and the equipment that might give them an edge, but they will still have to face an array of terrifying foes, including mummies, werejackals, and serpopards, many not known to the living for more than 3,000 years...

Is Moon Shadow fiction or history in the making?Set in 2012, Moon Shadow depicts the financial collapse and subsequent invasion of the United States. Completed over a decade ago, this story is so close to current events that it seems more historical than a work of fiction. From a terrorist attack using three hijacked airliners to a top-secret spaceplane project dubbed Aurora, both the premise and content of my novel have become reality.Was Mark Halperin right in calling President Barrack Obama a "dick?" Not really. But what if the president were an unintentional traitor? See what happens when Obama destroys American in my novel Moon Shadow.Intended to be a work of fiction only to entertain, author Joe Barfield admits even he is surprised as events in his novel, Moon Shadow, are becoming more historical than fictional with each passing day. Barfield said, Moon Shadow tells the story about the fall of the greatest country in the world—The United States of America. The collapse is not so much from outside forces, but rather from the greed within. I never dreamed how close Moon Shadow would describe events in America and the Mid-East today.Written fourteen years ago, Moon Shadow was updated recently to better describe current events that are quickly changing the world. Reflecting on his novel, Barfield also said, I originally based the collapse of the United States on the greed of American CEOs, the corruption of our leaders, and the collapse of the financial institutions during President George H. Bush’s administration. Now it seems Moon Shadow is closer to depicting the events of President Barrack Obama’s administration. Abraham Linoln said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Just a few disturbing things found in Moon Shadow are the use of three hijacked passenger airliners, with one crashing into a football game killing the president. Another war occurs in the Middle East that is very similar to Desert Storm but with a big difference—The United States is defeated. The novel predicted a Democrat would be elected in 2008 and he would destroy America financially with a National Debt near 20 trillion. Where are we today?The author was quoted saying: From the beginning of time every empire has collapsed. There have been no exceptions.Moon Shadow, depicts America's leadership, greed, and corruption as the reasons for the collapse, will get people on both sides of the fence talking. It is an exciting edge-of-your-seat story about a handful of America's best jet pilots desperately trying to take America back after the invasion. Their reluctant leader, Beau Gex, is forced to lead them to safety. Trapped behind enemy lines, this small group of pilots fight against overwhelming odds. They are forced to fly one last deadly mission, where America's future depends on its best pilot, Beau Gex, defeating a technologically advanced F-14 fighter jet at night. But all he has on his side is an antiquated, World War II, P-51 Mustang and an old Indian Legend, Moon Shadow. For the not-faint-at-heart, Moon Shadow begins with one of the edgiest torture scenes since Marathon Man. And for those looking for love mixed in with their adventure, Moon Shadow satisfies as a tender romance between Beau and Krysti Socorro, an exquisite doctor. Will the betrayal of another tear them apart forever? Can a child save their love or is it too late?

By the famous Big Reel columnist: the story of serials from Universal's 1930 The Indians Are Coming to Columbia's 1956 Blazing the Overland Trail. Fifteen fascinating chapters explain the importance of "cliffhangers" to the industry as audience builders and "product leaders." The serials provided training for actors and served as a "technical university" for people who later made the television industry work. An appendix lists in order of release all of the sound serials from 1930 through 1956, showing titles, releasing companies, chapter titles, directors and several cast members. Superb photographs.
