Excerpt from The ConvalescentTo sickness I have always found I had much reason to be indebted; but, among the other blessings which have come to me under its apparent untempting veil, I number two of the most precious memories of the past - two of the habitual and most unfailing sources of my happiness at the present hour the friendships of two eminent men, to whose medical care and counsel, under Providence, I have, at different times, ow'ed my recovery.By Dr. William beattie, the English poet and physician, so well known to our countrymen, I was first attended, in 1835, when dangerously ill in London; and, with the acquaintance thus formed upon a sick-bed, commenced a confidential inter course, maintained subsequently by a correspondence, which, after twenty-four years of almost constant separation, still retains its first interest and cordiality. My last and just received letter from the venerable man (now near eighty years of age, if I am not mistaken), came accompanied with a present of ten or twelve rare books from his choice library, and an invaluable manuscript of Campbell, the poet, whose most intimate friend he was during-that afflicted man's trou bled life, and to whom he performed so devotedly the last services and honors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Dear Charles,I regret to inform you that I have expelled your son, Noah. This was not a decision that I made lightly. Indeed, it is particularly vexing to me, as you and your family have faithfully supported the Wessex Academy for so many years. Sadly, I had no choice. I don't want to go into the sordid details on paper; suffice it to say that the incident involved one of our female faculty members, and that Noah's behavior was inappropriate in the extreme.Perhaps some kind of arrangement can be made, although I'm doubtful.Again, my most sincere regrets.Yours,Phillip Olsen,HeadmasterSunday and Fred discover more about the sinister conspiracy at Wessex. The blackmailers are getting desperate....and they're willing to turn to murder.

COUNTDOWN It's 1999. Plagues. Curses. Hunger. The Pilgrims sure had it easy. NOVEMBER Finally, there's something to be thankful for. The Demon has been vanquished. No more death, destruction, or devastation. Only relief, restoration, and renewal. That is, if you ignore a couple of minor details. The countdown is still going strong... ...and the Demon could be, too.

It's 1999. Do you know where your parents are? It's been one month since a savage plague killed everyone on earth except teenagers. The young survivors thought they had lived through the worst of it. But now, driven from cities overrun with violence, fueled by hunger and desperation, they are about to come face-to-face with an even greater threat: Each other.

COUNTDOWN It's 1999. The Earth moved. Really. SEPTEMBER Only the strongest teens have survived. But now Earth is crashing and crumbling down around them, advancing -- piece by piece -- toward a final, grinding halt. It can be stopped. There is a key -- a key that can save the world from total annihilation. If it doesn't fall into the hands of she who has been chosen...to kill them all.

COUNT DOWN It's 1999. The overpopulation problem has been solved. On a planet decimated by a brutal plague. The number one pastime has been staying alive. The survivors -- teenagers -- thought they were the only people left on earth. But they are about to discover they're not alone. Something is watching them. Something ancient. Something evil. Something that has waited for centuries for its time to arrive.... The wait is finally over.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
