＜p＞"The Hollow: The Cross"＜/p＞ ＜p＞They live among usーwithin us. Born in the silence of fear, feeding on insatiable hunger and lurking behind our very eyes. Whose voices do we heed when the world shatters into fragments, and the void is the only answer?＜/p＞ ＜p＞A world once divided into layers of existenceーeach with its own rhythm, unaware of the abyss that lay just beyond the veil. But a single ambition, a desire for knowledge, was enough to disrupt the balance. When the Anchor Project breached the barrier between dimensions, it shattered the boundary between the physical and astral realms. Now, the remnants of humanity cling to survival in the Bastion, their last refuge against an unraveling world.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As reality succumbs to a grotesque metamorphosis, where the very land is reshaped by the hunger of unseen forces, only the strongest endure. Eleventh, a soldier born of forgotten experiments, moves through the ruins with a single purposeーobeying the enigmatic Sages who rule the Bastion. His mind is empty of memories, his body enhanced by the chilling power of the Glass Cross, a parasitic artifact pulsing with dark energy. But when he is sent into the ruins of a lost civilization, shadows from the past begin to whisperーof treachery, of sacrifice, of a name he no longer remembers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Hollow roam the desolationーsouls torn from their flesh, bodies twisted beyond recognition, voices speaking in echoes of madness. But something darker lingers in the depths. A presence watching, waiting. And as Eleventh delves into the shattered ruins of faith and power, he will face not only the horrors that stalk the night but the truth of what he has become.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Will he remain the obedient weapon of the Bastion? Or will he uncover the buried secrets of the Anchor Project and the cost of their forbidden knowledge?＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

タイトル: Forsaken Country著者: Allen Eskens出版社: Mulholland Books出版日: 2022年09月20日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Three fathers collide far beyond the reach or safety of the law in this breathtaking thriller from the beloved author of The Stolen Hours and The Life We Bury: "one of our best crime writers at the top of his game" (William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author). Max Rupert has left his position as a Minneapolis homicide detective to live in solitude. Mourning the tragic death of his wife, he's also racked by guilt--he alone knows what happened to her killer. But then the former local sheriff, Lyle Voight, arrives with a desperate plea: Lyle's daughter Sandy and his six-year-old grandson Pip have disappeared. Lyle's certain Sandy's ex-husband Reed is behind it, but the new sheriff is refusing to investigate. When Max reluctantly looks into their disappearance, he too becomes convinced something has gone very wrong. But the closer Max and Lyle get to finding proof, the more slippery Reed becomes, until he makes a break for the beautiful but formidable Boundary Waters wilderness with vulnerable Pip in tow. Racing after the most dangerous kind of criminal--a desperate father--and with the ghosts of their own pasts never far behind, Max and Lyle go on the hunt within a treacherous landscape, determined to bring an evil man to justice, and to bring a terrified child home alive. "Allen Eskens . . . produces some of the best cat-and-mouse games I have read. This is a novel that you will not easily forget." --BookReporter "The search for mother and child fuels the brisk plot, but Forsaken Country spins on Eskens' in-depth character studies. . . . Eskens is at the top of his skills." --Oline H. Cogdill, The South Florida Sun Sentinel "The suspense never flags . . . heart-pounding and heartfelt, Forsaken Country should be at the top of your to-be-read list."-- Heather Gudenkauf

＜p＞Edna corners me, one Sunday afternoon. (Every town, of any size, has an Edna. Edna has no real life, just a sort of shadow existence in the reflected light of the lives of others. Despite her miserable existence, Edna has a lot of political power with the girls and even the ladies of the town. Edna needs to be handled with care.)＜br /＞ I get us a couple of glasses of wine and we sit down.＜br /＞ Edna starts her interrogation off by stating, “Jake Hall, you dated Jean, for awhile.”＜br /＞ I lecture, “I make my living as a computer programmer analyst. I have to live in a real world, since it’s a requirement of my job. However, I was, for a time, drawn into her insane world, by Jean. Jean sort of slunk into town, with no money and no job. She quickly got a job as a temp secretary. Then I met Jean, through a girl that I worked with. Jean had an actual film star face, a slightly too slim body and the ability to handle people. I fell for Jean. I fell for the film star face, her people handling ability and her very real intelligence. I managed to get a date with the film star looks girl. I took her to a nice place and treated her like a lady. I actually talked to Jean and not just about her film star face. I knew a little about where she had come from and some of the people that she had worked with. We had a real conversation and it was apparently a change from the boys that Jean had been involved with. Things went well.”＜br /＞ I got a second date with Jean and the alarm bells started to go off. She wanted me to pick her up, at work, because the apartment that she shared with another girl was undergoing a complete renovation. Why this would be a problem, wasn’t clear to me. However, it resulted in a situation where I would date her on Friday, not Saturday. But, hey, look at me! Plain ol’ Jake is dating a by damn film star looking lady. Hot damn!”＜br /＞ Edna jumps in,”So, that was what Jean was to you, a film star face?”＜br /＞ I laugh, “Much more than that. Jean wore school girl clothes, on our dates. However, she could conduct an adult level conversation and she could handle people, as few others could. We had a few more dates. Jean’s clothes really didn’t improve. I could understand that she was new in town and had little money. However, clothes are a girl’s best friend and I wondered why she didn’t upgrade her date clothes, at least a little. Then, something happened that was a key to my understanding Jean, although I didn’t see that, at the time. Jean had some sort of small cyst on her chest. It wasn’t on the girl parts, but not too far away. One night, Jean told me that she had saved enough money to get a small cyst removed from her chest. The operation was a complete success and she was almost completely healed. Like a fool, I assumed that the cyst money was why she had been unable to upgrade her date clothes. Then I found out that Jean had health insurance, through her temp agency, and that the little cost of her cyst surgery would have been almost completely covered by the insurance. I managed to talk to a couple of ladies and found that Jean’s cyst surgery was just above the level of popping a pimple. The healing would indeed be quick and leave no scar or, at worst, a tiny pin point scar.”＜br /＞ Edna asks, “Did you talk to Jean about the matter of the cyst surgery?”＜br /＞ “I thought about the matter, but confronting Jean seemed to be counter productive. I then got a key piece of information. One of the technicians at work told me that he had seen Jean with some guy, at a low class bar, on Saturday night. I then talked with Jean about us dating Saturday night, instead of Friday night. The repairs on her apartment must be finished by now.”＜br /＞ “Jean told me that she was going out with the girls, Saturday nights.”＜br /＞ “I realized that Jean was playing me for a fool.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Die Wei?en nannten ihn Dakota. Sein richtiger Name war unbekannt, weil er bei den Oglalas aufgewachsen war. Und die Wei?en f?rchteten ihn mehr als einen Roten.

Von den Roth?uten gemieden und von den Wei?en gehasst, zog Dakota seinen Trail. Er war wie ein Wolf, einsam und gnadenlos.

＜p＞＜strong＞‘After all this time Frankie Dettori still ranks amongst the all-time greats of the sport’ LESTER PIGGOTT＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞‘An autobiography as gripping as any Dick Francis thriller’ YORKSHIRE POST＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞‘Endearingly honest… a fastpaced, funny autobiography’ ＜em＞COUNTRY LIFE MAGAZINE＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Legendary jockey, Frankie Dettori, shares his remarkable life story in this astonishingly intimate autobiography.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Lanfranco ‘Frankie’ Dettori arrived on British shores in 1985, aged just 14, he couldn’t speak a word of English. Having left school just a year earlier and following in the footsteps of his father, he was eager to become a stable boy and apprentice jockey, willing to do everything it took to make it. This was his first, but certainly not his last, leap of faith.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to win over 100 races in a single season. By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nearly 25 years later, and having won the Longines World’s Best Jockey for three consecutive years running, Frankie has demonstrated an unparalled level of longevity at the pinnacle of his sport. But his story is not simply one of uninterrupted success, but also of personal anguish, recovery and restoration ? both in and out of the saddle.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now, Frankie compellingly reveals the lows to his highs; the plane crash that nearly killed him, the drugs ban that nearly made him quit the sport, and the acrimonious split from Godolphin that threatened his future. But ＜em＞Leap of Faith＜/em＞ is also a story of love ? for the sport he continues to dominate to this day, the great horses of his era (Stradivarius, Golden Horn, and of course Enable), and most importantly for his family, who have supported him every step of the way.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Heartfelt and poignant, this is not simply a memoir, but a celebration of perseverance and defying the odds.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains is a travel book, by Isabella Bird, describing her 1873 trip to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The book is a compilation of letters that Isabella Bird wrote to her sister, Henrietta. In 1872, Isabella left Britain, going first to Australia, then to Hawaii, which she refers to as the Sandwich Islands. In 1873 she travelled to Colorado, then the Colorado Territory. After living a time in Hawaii, she takes a boat, to San Francisco. She passed the area of Lake Tahoe, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to ultimate Estes Park, Colorado, also elsewhere in and near the Rocky Mountains of the Colorado Territory. Early in Colorado, she met Rocky Mountain Jim, described as a desperado, but with whom she got along quite well. She described him as, "He is a man whom any woman might love but no sane woman would marry." She was the first white woman to stand atop Longs Peak, Colorado, pointing out that Jim "dragged me up, like a bale of goods, by sheer force of muscle." Rocky Mountain Jim treated her quite well, and it is sad to note, he was shot to death, seven months later. After many other adventures, Isabella Bird ultimately took a train, east. Upon publication, A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains proved an "instant bestseller" and is still considered to be her best work.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
