Books with author N. D. Wilson

Eleven-year-old Thomas Hammond is in for the ride of his life when he's swept downstream and underground aboard a crumbling raft of Styrofoam. Washing up on a dark subterranean "beach," his only companions are an impulsive dog named Argus and a corpse, from which he takes a flashlight and an all-too-limited supply of batteries. What Tom finds under Leepike Ridge—a castaway, four graves, a tomb, and buried treasure—will answer questions he hadn't known to ask and change his life forever. Now, if he can only find his way home again. . . .An original mix of Robinson Crusoe, King Solomon's Mines, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and The Odyssey, N. D. Wilson's first book for young readers is a remarkable adventure, a journey though the dark of the grave and back out into the light.

Lucas Tavera is twelve years old. He has been in an accident, and now something is terribly wrong with him. His mother is convinced hes close to death, and the CIA has taken him into custody. All Lucas is certain of is that, somehow, hes been given incredible powers. As a dark organization emerges, Lucas is told he must use his powers to fight, but he soon realizes that his greatest enemy is still hidden beneath the surface.

There are more than ten thousand particle accelerators in the world from the linear accelerators used for cancer therapy in modern hospitals to the giant 'atom-smashers' at international particle physics laboratories used to unlock the secrets of creation. Many scientists and engineers spend their lives designing, constructing, and operating these machines - yet few universities include the subject of particle accelerators in their curricula. The few courses that do exist and the summer schools run by the big accelerator laboratories lack a simple introduction which covers the essentials of the subject for the many who need to learn how these machines work. This book fills that gap and takes the reader through each of the aspects of a modern accelerator giving enough information to unlock the door to the subject but does not overload the understanding with mathematics. Anyone with a general interest in modern technology based on a fascinating variety of physics and engineering will find much of interest in this book.

It's been a year since Cyrus and Antigone Smith earned their places as Journeymen at Ashtown, home of an order of explorers that has long guarded the world's secrets and treasures. Though their studies are going well, Cy and Tigs are not well liked since they lost the Dragon's Tooth to the nefarious Dr. Phoenix. The tooth is the only object in the world capable of killing the long-lived transmortals, and Phoenix has been tracking them down one by one and murdering them. The surviving transmortals, led by the legendary warrior Gilgamesh of Uruk, descend on Ashtown inn force, demanding justice. Cy and Tigs find themselves on the run, in a desperate search to locate Phoenix and regain the tooth. In the process, they uncover an evil more dangerous than Phoenix, one that has been waiting for centuries to emerge. The second audio book in N. D. Wilson's Ashtown Burrials series delivers all the adventure, excitement, and suspense of the first - and more!
