Surviving The Evacuation, Book 2: Wastelandby Frank Tayell

Billions died during the global civil war that followed the outbreak. Most of them became infected, and then they became the undead. Anarchy took grip. Chaos ruled. The world collapsed. In Britain, the evacuation failed.

Four months after the outbreak, Bill Wright has found safety in a ruined Abbey in southern England, but he is still alone. All he has for company are the files sent to him before the outbreak by his shadowy contact, Sholto. On those, he believes he has found the origins of the undead, and the vast conspiracy in which he discovers he played an unwitting part.

He needs answers, and knows the only place they will be found is at the facility that created the virus. As he journeys through the British wasteland, he meets other survivors. He rescues some, is rescued by others, but ultimately discovers that zombies are not the most deadly threat in an undead wasteland.

Confessions of a Hollywood Nobodyby Dan Bronson

Everyone has read biographies and memoirs of Hollywood celebrities–the lucky ones who have actually made it to the top. Dan Bronson’s book is different. It tells the story of all the others–the ninety-eight percent who’ve worked hard and well but below the radar, the “nobodies” without whom movies and television would cease to exist.

Dan’s fun, funny account of his wild ride on the rollercoaster of Hollywood is littered with stars, both behind the camera and in front of it–actors like Natalie Wood, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Bateman and, yes, Tori Spelling; directors like George Seaton, Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, Gil Cates, Francis Ford Coppola and John McTiernan; executives like Dawn Steele, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Eisner and Ned Tanen. And along the way, Dan provides behind-the-scenes glimpses of the making of films both big and small–everything from Galaxy of Terror to Godfather III and Die Hard: With a Vengeance .

But his real story is how the dream factory works and what it takes to avoid being crushed in its gears. A survivor’s guide to Hollywood, it is a must-read for anyone interested in film.

Cade Crowley, Demon Hunter (Cade Crowley, Demon Hunter Series #1)by Kevin Kneupper

Demons are dangerous things. They inflame your insecurities, turn your weaknesses against you, and whisper their thoughts into your ears in the darkness.

The Vatican wants them locked up, or banished back to Hell. Short on priests and long on money, they’ve had to resort to paying bounties to keep things under control. That means looking outside of the faithful, to mercenaries like Cade Crowley.

That’s not his real name, but then, it never is. A drunk, and a gambler, and a womanizer, Cade’s steeped in sin himself, but he has one advantage: the sight. He can see demons, and he can see spirits, and that means he can fight them, so long as he can keep his own demons under control.

But the Vatican doesn’t have the war between good and evil to itself, not anymore. Other religions want in, and they’re recruiting bounty hunters of their own. Some have faith, and some just have bills to pay, but all of them want Cade’s bounties for themselves.

Cade Crowley, Demon Hunter #1 (Short Story):

One of the Church’s faithful has summoned something up from Hell, to try to make a deal.

I pray time will ease the pain and help my suffering while I search for the answers…but so far, nothing.

Happiness is something I knew so long ago, and now it’s nothing but a faint, distant recollection of the life I once had. My name is Arion LaSalle, and seven months ago my life was shredded to pieces when my fiancé disappeared while deployed. He never…

One is Come (Five in Circle Book 1)by C. H. MacLean

One is Come is the first installment in a YA fantasy saga full of hidden plot twists and turns. The centuries-old prophesy of the One is being fulfilled, and the ancient dragon clans are coming out of hiding to remake the world. The king of the magic users will stop at nothing to be sure the prophecy is fulfilled the right way–with his oppressive government ruling. As they struggle for power, Haylwen (14) and her brother Cadarn (16) just happen to be caught dead center.

In this first book, meet fourteen-year-old Haylwen Rightad. She doesn’t think “crazy” runs in her family, but she might be wrong. Fish seem to listen when she talks. She finds herself wearing jewelry she can’t remember putting on. And then there was the explosion at school…and her ex-principal trying to kidnap her…and her brother? Don’t even ask. All she wants is to be an ordinary teenager. Live a normal life. Go to school, make friends, and not have to move a zillion times. Oh, and getting the bullies off her back? That’d be nice, too.

What Haylwen doesn’t know is WHY all this crazy stuff is happening to her. But she’s about to find out. The bad news? Things aren’t going to be “normal” any time soon!

With a mysterious prophecy, magical secrets and more than a few dragons, ONE IS COME is the first book in the adventures of siblings Haylwen and Cadarn as they come to discover they have powers they never dreamt of — and a destiny only they can fulfill.

A New Kind of Zealby Michelle Warren

On a hot, humid day, Tristan Blake is sweating it out trying to hitch a ride past Kerikeri, up north. It is summer in New Zealand, 2030: the temperature is rising, and Tristan is looking to get away from it all, after retiring from Peace-making army duty in the Middle East.

An old red Holden Ute pulls up on the side of the road, with fishing lines strapped in the back. Tristan goes to the driver’s window, and a Maori priest, Rau Petera, invites him on a ride to Ninety Mile Beach.

Keen to fish, Tristan agrees: but there on the expansive sand, trying to escape the rising tide, Rau and Tristan stumble across Joshua Davidson from Kaitaia. Rau follows Joshua back into the rising sea, and Joshua catches him a record snapper, with no bait.

Now Rau and Tristan find themselves driving Joshua on a once-in-a-lifetime road-trip down the centre of the North Island, toward the Beehive in Wellington. Joshua is reminding Rau of someone: he is finding a new kind of faith. But Tristan is being thrown into increasing confusion and dismay, when he finally realizes what he must do to end the growing threat…

Confessions of a Hollywood Nobodyby Dan Bronson

Everyone has read biographies and memoirs of Hollywood celebrities–the lucky ones who have actually made it to the top. Dan Bronson’s book is different. It tells the story of all the others–the ninety-eight percent who’ve worked hard and well but below the radar, the “nobodies” without whom movies and television would cease to exist.

Dan’s fun, funny account of his wild ride on the rollercoaster of Hollywood is littered with stars, both behind the camera and in front of it–actors like Natalie Wood, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Bateman and, yes, Tori Spelling; directors like George Seaton, Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, Gil Cates, Francis Ford Coppola and John McTiernan; executives like Dawn Steele, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Eisner and Ned Tanen. And along the way, Dan provides behind-the-scenes glimpses of the making of films both big and small–everything from Galaxy of Terror to Godfather III and Die Hard: With a Vengeance .

But his real story is how the dream factory works and what it takes to avoid being crushed in its gears. A survivor’s guide to Hollywood, it is a must-read for anyone interested in film.

Wednesdays were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, And Godby Michael Kelley

“Wednesdays were pretty normal,” writes Michael Kelley, looking for a bright spot amidst the chemotherapy routine brought on by his two-year-old son Joshua’s cancer diagnosis. His book of the same name offers much to anyone who’s tired of prescriptive spirituality and would rather acknowledge and work through the difficulties of faith with some transparency.

Joshua battled and beat the disease, but not before his family had to reconcile what it means to believe in God despite a broken world. His dad’s personal account of that fight to survive sparks a larger discussion of how Christians must learn to walk in the light of Christ’s promises despite the dark shadows of earthly pain. Indeed, it’s pain that sometimes opens the door to a deeper experience with Jesus, an authentic relationship that holds steady even when life loses the comfort of normalcy.

The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mindby Michio Kaku

NOW A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Compelling….Kaku thinks with great breadth, and the vistas he presents us are worth the trip”
—The New York Times Book Review

The New York Times best-selling author of PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, PHYSICS OF THE FUTURE and HYPERSPACE tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain.
        
For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by a battery of high tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist. 
 
THE FUTURE OF THE MIND gives us an authoritative and compelling look at the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world—all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics.  One day we might have a “smart pill” that can enhance our cognition; be able to upload our brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and emotions around the world on a “brain-net”; control computers and robots with our mind; push the very limits of immortality; and perhaps even send our consciousness…

LITERARY CLASSICS GOLD AWARD WINNER

“Oh, my gosh, I love these kids! When they were hiding in the Bitterroot Mountains, I felt like I was right there with them.”

“Cult leader wants twins for his child brides, his double portion from God…polygamy raises its ugly head.”

Beautiful preteen twins Rachel and Janie Lemon are desperate to avoid the fate of their older sister Mary, who at thirteen was forced to marry the polygamous Prophet of Sheba Hill.

Justin and the twins plan an escape in mid-winter through the Bitterroots. Justin’s father and uncle (who were both killed in an avalanche) trained him as a survivalist, and he assures the girls that the Bitterroots are not as dangerous as the Alaskan wilderness where he grew up.

Their adventures in the mountains include searches for food, shelter, water, and warmth–all…

Death by Food Pyramid: How Shoddy Science, Sketchy Politics and Shady Special Interests Have Ruined Our Healthby Denise Minger

Shoddy science, sketchy politics, and shady special interests have shaped American dietary recommendations–and destroyed our nation’s health–over recent decades. The phrase “death by food pyramid” isn’t shock-value sensationalism, but the tragic consequence of following federal advice and corporate manipulation in pursuit of health. In Death by Food Pyramid, Denise Minger exposes the forces that overrode common sense and solid science to launch a pyramid phenomenon that bled far beyond US borders to taint the eating habits of the entire developed world. Minger explores how generations of flawed pyramids and plates endure as part of the national consciousness, and how the “one-size-fits-all” diet mentality these icons convey pushes us deeper into the throes of obesity and disease. Regardless of whether you’re an omnivore or vegan, research junkie or science-phobe, health novice or seasoned dieter, Death by Food Pyramid will reframe your understanding of nutritional science–and inspire you to take your health, and your future, into your own hands.
