"Before us lies a harsh and dismal world in which the entire show is run by the omnipresent System. The people live in gloomy endless corridors, and they appear here not only devoid of memory, but also completely deprived of their limbs. They are all 'volitional nullforms,' which is to say they supposedly agreed to this fate. Nobody remembers when or why it happened, but everyone strives to survive at any cost.
However, Elb, a.k.a. number eleven, does not intend to continue leading this miserable existence, and wants to understand why things are the way they are. Having restored order in his native Outskirts, he and his team march ever onwards, destroying their foes and amassing points from the System.
This tenth book concludes the cycle, shedding light on the secret of Elb's fate, as well as many mysteries of the world he finds himself in. In order for this to happen, the hero must reach the Tower and come face to face with the First Higher. But is Elb ready to discover what is capable of upending all his perceptions of this world? And what consequences will there be? Only after listening to the final book of the series will you learn the answers to these questions."
"This 'passionate affirmation of the simple life, and joy in simple things' explores how walking influenced history's greatest thinkers—from Henry David Thoreau and Jack Kerouac to Gandhi and Nietzsche (Observer).
In this French bestseller, leading thinker and philosopher Frédéric Gros charts the many different ways we get from A to B—the pilgrimage, the promenade, the protest march, the nature ramble—and reveals what they say about us.
Gros draws attention to other thinkers who also saw walking as something central to their practice. On his travels he ponders Thoreau's eager seclusion in Walden Woods; the reason Rimbaud walked in a fury, while Nerval rambled to cure his melancholy. He shows us how Rousseau walked in order to think, while Nietzsche wandered the mountainside to write. In contrast, Kant marched through his hometown every day, exactly at the same hour, to escape the compulsion of thought. Brilliant and erudite, A Philosophy of Walking is an entertaining and insightful manifesto for putting one foot in front of the other."

"Before us lies a grim dog-eat-dog world, where all the shots are called by the omnipresent System. The inhabitants live in endless gloomy corridors, and they appear here not only lacking memory, but also completely limbless. They are 'volitional nullforms,' meaning that supposedly their fate was consensual. Nobody remembers when or why it happens, but everyone must try to survive at any cost.
Our hero is number eleven, known to everyone as Elb. He does not intend to drag out his pathetic existence any further, wanting instead to investigate what's happening. Since restoring order in his own suburb, he and his team are now marching ever onward, steamrolling over enemies and accumulating points from the System.
Book nine sees Elb and his crew rolling on towards Crontown and their first encounter with those known as the elves. The elves inhabit the top rungs of the local hierarchy, and are precisely who our hero is so keen to meet. And besides, the secrets of the creation of this world are gradually being revealed to Elb, and his personal goals are becoming more tangible. That said, these revelations are no few in number."
"Jason remembers Colonel Bartholomew as a loudmouthed bigot and a drunk. Now the Colonel's been found dead with a knife in his back, and the Texas police think someone in Jason's family killed him.
Jason Crow, double amputee and Vietnam War vet, has good reason to dislike the retired officer who bad-mouthed Jason's father and his African American business partner. But when Bartholomew calls late one night with a mysterious request that Jason come by his house, then turns up dead, Jason has to set his feelings aside.
Clyde Burker, his old police nemesis and now head of the homicide division, doesn't want Jason meddling in yet another murder investigation, but Jason won't stay on the sidelines when Burker points a finger at Jason's own loved ones. As pieces of the truth begin to fall into place, Jason may well hold the key to unlocking the dangerous puzzle.

"Someone's murdered Brayton Spites!
Nobody's sorry he's dead--with one exception. A ruthless, unscrupulous businessman, notorious womanizer, and heartless father, he turned his back on his only legitimate son after the boy's grandfather abused him. So when Spites's body is found in a dark alley in Coyote Springs, the question is not who killed him, but what took so long?
Jason Crow, rancher, vintner, and double amputee, is invited to help find his biological father's murderer. He has no idea just how personal the quest is about to become. The list of suspects includes his half-brothers, Harden Spites and Kelvin Dodge, as well as Brayton's alcoholic widow, Dolly Dodge. Then there's Neldona Chance, a prostitute with a heart of gold, who shared a complex relationship with Brayton, Harden, and Kelvin.
Bodies pile up. Family tensions rise. Tempers reach the breaking point when the sheriff comes to arrest Jason's grieving and emotionally fragile mother for the murder of the profligate man she never stopped loving."
"Vietnam took his legs. A murderer took his father. Somehow, Jason Crow has to take a stand.
Jason Crow comes home to Texas on clumsy, prosthetic legs, struggling with his lost dreams and the pitying curiosity of friends and strangers. But there's no time for him to brood, because his father has just been shot to death.
Unable to convince the police that his father was murdered, Jason begins his own investigation. In the process he uncovers family secrets that shake him to his core and make him question everyone and everything around him, including the love of Michiko, the beautiful Eurasian-American nurse he met in Japan.
While fighting his own insecurity as a double amputee, Jason must challenge forces capable of destroying him and those he loves to pursue the person who robbed him of his greatest hero: His dad.
This debut book in Ken Casper's Jason Crow West Texas Mystery Series treats readers to a powerful new voice in mystery fiction."

"The scariest school on earth is about to experience real fear . . .
Most schools are about being the best. This school? It's about being the worst. Calder Academy is where the rogue paranormals go. The ones who break the rules or lose control. And when that happens for vamps, werewolves, witches, and dark fae? It gets pretty freaking scary.
I should know. Because I'm trapped here.
Look, every seventeen-year-old girl thinks their mom is a tyrant. But mine just happens to run Calder Academy, which paints a giant target on my back. The way I make it through these dark halls is by steering clear of the things—and kids—who go bump in the night.
Especially Jude Abernathy-Lee.
But when a freak storm hits our isolated island, I'm stuck without a backup plan. The power is gone. The lights are out. And our worst nightmares are suddenly real—and out for blood. Now the only way to survive is to align myself with one evil to avoid the other.
And the only thing worse than the idea of getting close to Jude? Secretly loving every minute of it."

"The bestselling, compelling insider's account of the Marine Corps from the lives of the men of Platoon 3086—their training at Parris Island, their fierce camaraderie, and the unique code of honor that defines them.
The United States Marine Corps, with its proud tradition of excellence in combat, its hallowed rituals, and its unbending code of honor, is part of the fabric of American myth. Making the Corps visits the front lines of boot camp in Parris Island, South Carolina. Here, old values are stripped away and new Marine Corps values are forged. Bestselling author Thomas E. Ricks follows these men from their hometowns, through boot camp, and into their first year as Marines. As three fierce drill instructors fight a battle for the hearts and minds of this unforgettable group of young men, a larger picture emerges, brilliantly painted, of the growing gulf that divides the military from the rest of America.
Included in this edition is an afterword from the author that examines the war in Iraq through the lens of the Marines from Platoon 3086, giving listeners an on-the-ground view of the conflict from those who know it best."
"Zombieland is fiendish and dangerous.
The place that has gobbled up many, leaving only ground bones, draws Elb and his team ever deeper into its decaying bowels. Doing battle with eternally hungry beasts who were once people, Elb is fast gaining status, as well as the respect of other zombie hunters.
Zombieland, however, is capable of stopping and killing even the most deadly of hunters.
This time around, the system provides the impossible Blue Light task, whose coordinates are given as: Room Number 191-28 Pain. Nobody has ever reached the room, and everybody to have received the task has disappeared without trace in spine-chilling Zombieland. The system's Blue Light task may not be refused, and is a black spot of death for anyone, but the tenacious Elb accepts it unwaveringly, knowing it is another step forwards and upwards, and therefore another step towards the answers to many secrets."
