Garrison Rex is a complex man: He has a muscular physique but also a rotund pot belly. Some think him a doltish brute, yet they have never heard him play one of his original symphonies on the harmonica. He reads books per hour and loves all animals. He is a champion born of all races, but also none. The killer who does not kill, the fighter who will not fight, yet he is also the one-man war… He has many stories, but this novel is his greatest adventure yet.

Grandfather Tortoise is 100 years old, and it is time for him to pass down to Tomas his wealth of memories about the growth of Las Vegas. Tomas is awed and honored by the importance of his new responsibility and listens to the stories attentively, just as you will when you hear about the Paiute Indians, the Old Spanish Trail, and the miners, railroads and importance of the events around Tomas' Red Rock Canyon.

A Classic Tale of Adventure and Terror “You have entered a world of death, but do not want to die. No treasure on earth is worth facing the Yeti.” In the year 1850, a British caravan crossing the Himalayan Mountains from India into China has vanished, along with its priceless treasure. Now the race is on to reclaim the lost fortune as a pair of intrepid soldiers - a virtuous African private and a daring British corporal - spearhead their own mission to seize the prize by betraying their fellow troops. On this epic adventure, each man’s will, character and fortitude will be challenged to survive the perilous quest as they battle the wrath of the vengeful English army, the fury of the native bandits, the greed of their cutthroat accomplices, and the harsh, frozen hell of the alpine peaks. And the only other obstacle to their success is a savage beast of mythical power.

Unlike the Seleukid's the Ptolemies did not at first glance create numerous eye-catching cities. However evidence can be found of settlement of Macedonian Greeks in more rural areas, and Katja Mueller makes it plain that the Ptolemies did have a settlement policy, focusing her attention on the plethora of surviving demotic papyri, and analysing Hellenistic toponyms rather than relying on the literary sources.

Imagine, now, where you are as you read, that God popped by for a visit. He’s suddenly visibly, audibly, splendidly there, right beside you. Perhaps He found you in that special place most of us have that we retreat to for some ‘me’ time - the spot where we get away from life’s frenetic bustle and enjoy peace in solitude. Maybe it’s under bedcovers feigning sleep after the alarm has jolted us into a new day; maybe it’s swinging in a hammock shaded by a favorite tree. Wherever your hideaway is, you’re probably there, and - God arrives!

Excerpt from On Snake-Poison: Its Action and Its AntidoteThe foregoing applies, not to Australia only, but to all other countries infested by venomous snakes. The introduction of the writer's method in every one of these countries is merely a question of time, for snake-poison acts everywhere according to one uniform principle, however different the symptoms it produces may appear to the superficial observer. The antidote, therefore, that cures snakebite in Australia will as surely cure it elsewhere if properly and efficiently applied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
