  • Eaglebreaker

    C. L. Murray

    Paperback (Independently published, Jan. 24, 2020)
    When a deadly woman from a clan that tortures eagles into submission captures Morlen's dear companion, Roftome, he embarks on a quest more terrifying than any he has yet undertaken.Going alone into the Mountains of the Lost, Morlen treks an uncertain path through hostile forces that embody the grimmest legends. Worst of all are the Pyrnaq—wretched, twisted corruptions of the free eagles they once were—and their overwhelming presence is a constant reminder of the terrible fate that he must spare Roftome at all costs.Held as a prized acquisition within the clandestine force that eagle-kind has dreaded for centuries, Roftome finds himself uniquely positioned to influence his abused brothers and sisters whose minds may still be salvageable. The cost of this rare opportunity, though, quickly proves more severe than he'd anticipated.Despite the absence of their two strongest allies, King Verald and Lady Valeine lead the Eaglemasters on a massive campaign to wipe the Ferotaur Wildlands clean of their ancient enemies. But as they delve deeper into the overrun wasteland, they hear whispers of a watchful evil that their intrusion might soon unleash.On a desolate corner of the world and threatened on every side, Morlen realizes that his only hope is to unite with one of the fierce ghouls he fought in his first adventure. And as the days pass into weeks, and months, he grows more afraid whether the end of his long journey will bring him face to face with the friend he lost, or... with something else.Chapters 1 & 2: authorclmurray.com/book2
  • Ancient Egyptian Legends

    M. A. Murray

    language (, Sept. 15, 2010)
    Ancient Egyptian Legendsby M. A. MurrayIN this book I have retold the legends of the Gods of ancient Egypt, legends, which were current in the "morning of the world," preserved to the present day engraved on stone and written on papyri. I have told them in my own way, adhering strictly to the story, but arranging the words and phrases according to the English method; retaining, however, as far as possible the expressions and metaphors of the Egyptian. In some cases I have inserted whole sentences in order to make the sense clear; these are in places where the story divides naturally into several parts, as in "The Battles of Horus," and "The Regions of Night and Thick Darkness"; where each incident, so like the one preceding and the one following, is kept distinct in the mind of the reader by this means. This repetition is quite in accordance with the style of Egyptian literature.

  • Atoms and Energies

    D. A. Murray

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Jan. 14, 2016)
    About the Book Physics is a natural science that studies matter, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related topics of energy and force. Physics is a fundamental scientific discipline, whose goal is to understand how the universe works. In the early 20th century the development quantum theory by Max Planck, and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity gave birth to modern physics. Both theories arose due to inaccuracies in classical mechanics. For example, Classical mechanics mistakenly predicted a varying speed of light, which was corrected by Einstein's theory of special relativity.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
