And with plans already in place for the invasion of Jiang, will Llewelyn help Feiyan pull off her outrageous plan to assassinate the Emperor?

But then a mighty Chinese war fleet arrives, offering to annihilate the old enemy. Their price? Llewelyn’s oldest friend, Gelert, the legendary wolfhound. Boy and dog are kidnapped and dragged across stormy oceans and scorpion-infested deserts in a nightmare journey involving flying dogs, berserk baboons, and thousand-year-old sailors.

Quickly resolving to rescue Gelert before the Emperor’s wrath is unleashed, the two friends face an astonishing journey that will take them into the heart of a reclusive kingdom that’s unafraid to use the apocalyptic forces they’ve kept secret for ten thousand years.

This book gives parents, teachers, and students an easy-to-read description of the brain, our most valuable resource, and the tremendous damage that can result from concussions and CTE. From high school to college to professional levels, football dominates American sports and exposes millions to head traumas on practically every play.It is a paradox of wide proportions. From opening day in September to the Super Bowl in February, the National Football League (NFL) dominates American sports and wins television ratings far beyond any other program--sports or otherwise.Increasingly, though, discussions of football (and other sports) include the medical terms concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a long-term degenerative and incurable brain disease. Although military personnel and others are vulnerable to the disease, the highest risk is among athletes involved in contact sports in which hits to the head are considered “part of the game.”Ten years ago, few would have predicted that the movie “Concussion” starring Will Smith would be made. Fewer would have predicted that brain injuries would one day dominate the sports headlines. When former NFL star Junior Seau committed suicide in May 2012, the media focused almost entirely on whether the thousands of head blows he endured during his 19-year career as a middle linebacker were a contributing factor. More than 3,000 former NFL players sued the league for allegedly misleading them about the risks of brain injury. The players and the league settled for more than $1 billion in damages. New policies and studies aimed at protecting the brains of athletes seem to be announced every week. But it’s not just professional athletes who are the focus of attention. No fewer than 40 states have passed laws requiring athletes in schools and recreational programs to schedule a doctor’s appointment when a concussion is suspected.A progressive, degenerative brain disease, CTE can present itself in athletes and others.
