Follow this trio as they tackle a devious plan that threatens western civilization as we know it. Can they thwart the terrorists? Can they crack the code? Can they save millionsOr will it be another catastrophe that Kent can write about?Lee Gimenez, the award-winning author of 13 books, including several bestsellers, reviewed Comes the Awakening "An excellent novel. This thriller is a great read. Good plotting, pacing, and characters, with plenty of mystery elements throughout. I recommend this novel to people who enjoy fast-paced thrillers. I'm looking forward to reading more books by this author." Yvonne says: "The relationship between Phil and Bill is really strong and you can sense that they trusted each other with their lives. Whilst I felt I knew everything about Phil, Bill was another matter and I was still finding things about him the further I got into the story. One of my favourite characters was Cyndi, Phil’s wife as whizz on a computer and an essential part of the team as her research skills were the best. She understood the importance of the mystery and let Phil go off and investigate.While there may be some comparisons to Dan Brown’s novels, this story was so much better, . . . "

National Geographic requests the pleasure of your company on a journey to the faraway island nation of "Nippon."

Visit the teeming cities on the river deltas and coastlines, which are among the most populous places on the planet. Follow the remarkable rise of nation’s modern economy, based mainly on the manufacture of high-quality, high-tech consumer goods. Learn how exports to the world's largest markets—including the United States—have made Japan a global economic power, and how the country's average income levels and standards of living are now among the highest in the world. Experience this ethnically homogenous culture, with its unique language and alphabet, and observe the rites and rituals of its two main faiths—Buddhism and Shinto, a religion that originated in Japan.

For Paul Phillips, not every day on the stream is an idyllic, spiritual experience. Small Streams and Daydreams is a compilation of entertaining essays on the 30 years he's spent fly-fishing throughout the United States and Canada. Unlike most writers in this genre, Phillips' back casts are not always flawless, his accuracy is not always unerring, and his footing not always assured. He gets lost, he falls, he loses equipment, his line gets entangled, and he's admittedly caught more "stick-fish" than most people have trout. With sharp wit and humor, Phillips' essays combine an abiding love for nature and for fly-fishing with the insight to see the pastime for what it is (an avocation) as well as what it is not (an emblem of distinction). While he waxes philosophical at times, at others he pokes great fun at his favorite target-himself. Phillips is a self-taught, self-described fly-fishing contrarian who eschews instructors, guides, lodges, sanctimonious peers, and matching the hatch. While his aim on stream is all too frequently awry, he can and does draw a steady bead on the grim-faced, the scolds, and the snobs whom he views as too prevalent, and too influential, in the contemporary literature on this wild, beautiful, and relaxing hobby.

"The trees are tall, and the giants are not actually taller than the trees. You told me that the giants aren’t real. I don’t know if they’re real. They look real, to me, but they also don’t seem real. You don’t see them, either."Peri, alone in her house, has spent a lot of time observing the silent, strangely sad giants that move just on the edge of her vision. They never speak. They never laugh. They are always alone. Drowning in her own loneliness, Peri doesn’t think much about where the giants came from, or what they might need from her. When Peri’s best friend Wink starts seeing the giants too, though, they decide that they need to find out why the giants are so sad and alone. This sets them off on a quest that neither of them is quite prepared for, through the woods and up the mountain. Magic, melancholy, and myth collide in their lives, showing them a world both worse and better than they ever knew. It’s beginning.
