The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Kindle Edition)

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Kindle Edition)
By Stieg Larsson

Review & Description

The stunning third and final novel in Stieg Larsson’s internationally best-selling trilogy

Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.Amazon Best Books of the Month, May 2010 As the finale to Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is not content to merely match the adrenaline-charged pace that made international bestsellers out of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Instead, it roars with an explosive storyline that blows the doors off the series and announces that the very best has been saved for last. A familiar evil lies in wait for Lisbeth Salander, but this time, she must do more than confront the miscreants of her past; she must destroy them. Much to her chagrin, survival requires her to place a great deal of faith in journalist Mikael Blomkvist and trust his judgment when the stakes are highest. To reveal more of the plot would be criminal, as Larsson's mastery of the unexpected is why millions have fallen hard for his work. But rest assured that the odds are again stacked, the challenges personal, and the action fraught with neck-snapping revelations in this snarling conclusion to a thrilling triad. This closing chapter to The Girl's pursuit of justice is guaranteed to leave readers both satisfied and saddened once the final page has been turned. --Dave Callanan Read more

Review & Description

So, you've found our method and it's yet ANOTHER offers for guitar lessons. Now you ask, "Do tell, what makes "Master the Fretboard" different?"

Well, consider this:

Online guitar lessons are typically either the hard sell:

"You will be a Rock God in 24 Hours!"

...and...

"Learn all the Notes of the Neck Overnight!...
In Your Sleep!...
While Being Massaged by Swedish Royalty!"

Or they are those "Free Lessons!" loaded with ads, forcing you to sign up for a daily newsletter spamming, and of generally lousy lesson quality.

A couple of years ago, after checking out the offers and having had a close look at those "Overnight Rock God!" things (see our Q&A for a rant about that, and a peek at the contents) I decided to organize my lessons materials from live lessons into something different.

I spent some time going back to the well of electric guitar music - blues and jazz of the 30's and 40's - and trying to see where the big developments came from.

This led to the "Charlie Christian Method" which was a grass-roots success. Players dug the fresh perspective on the guitar, and were able to 'see' the fretboard in a new way.

So, moving ahead from the 30's and 40's, I applied the same concepts to players from the 1960's on up. Combining a comprehensive view of the notes on the guitar with technique tips, and applying these ideas to examples we all know and love led to the "Master the Fretboard" lessons.

Since then, I have continued adding chapters as 'updates' and sending them to previous customers. (Kindle customers PLEASE contact us at joe at joedocmusic *point* com so we can set you up with access! These include rockabilly licks, shred guitar lessons, blues ideas, and on and on. Now, with some of the basics being provided in our Q&A, guitarists can get started, and then step into the fast lane with the "MTF" method.

Keep in mind, the price is NOT inflated due to tons of advertising costs. If you've found us, give a try - you won't be disappointed. Read more

Review & Description

Demons in a feeding frenzy drive the world-weary Markhat to the brink-

A Markhat story.

Quiet, hard-working seamstresses aren't the kind that normally go missing, even in a tough town like Rannit. Martha Hoobin's disappearance, though, quickly draws Markhat into a deadly struggle between a halfdead blood cult and the infamous sorcerer known only as the Corpsemaster.

A powerful magical artifact may be both his only hope of survival-and the source of his own inescapable damnation.

Markat-s search leads him to the one thing that's been missing in his life. But even love's awesome power may not save him from the darkness that's been unleashed inside his own soul.

Warning: This gritty, hard-boiled fantasy detective novel contains mild romance and interludes of suggestive hand-holding.

Glimpse (Volume 1) (Paperback)
By Stacey Wallace Benefiel

Review & Description

Zellie Wells has a devastating crush on Avery Adams, the son of her mom's high school sweetheart. At her sixteenth birthday party, held in the basement of her dad's church, she finally finds the courage to talk to him. Turns out, the devastating crush is mutual. As Avery takes her hand and leads her out onto the makeshift dance floor, Zellie is overwhelmed by her first vision of his death; shocking because not only are they both covered in his blood, but they're old, like 35, and she is pregnant. Afraid to tell anyone about the vision, (she'd just be labeled a freaky black magic witch, right?) Zellie keeps the knowledge of Avery's future to herself and tries to act like any other teenager in love. When they get caught on their way to a secret rendezvous by her mom and his dad, they are forbidden to see each other. Convinced that their parents are freaking out unnecessarily, Avery and Zellie vow to be together no matter what. They continue their relationship in secret until Zellie learns that their parents are just trying to prevent her and Avery from suffering like they did. The visions are hereditary, they're dangerous, and if they stay together the visions will come true. Now Zellie must choose between severing all ties with Avery, like her mom did to prevent his father's death, and finding a way to change Avery's future Read more

Review & Description

Which translation do I choose? In an age when there is a wide choice of English Bible translations, the issues involved in Bible translating are steadily gaining interest. Consumers often wonder what separates one Bible version from another. The contributors to this book argue that there are significant differences between literal translations and the alternatives. The task of those who employ an essentially literal Bible translation philosophy is to produce a translation that remains faithful to the original languages, preserving as much of the original form and meaning as possible while still communicating effectively and clearly in the receptors- languages. Translating Truth advocates essentially literal Bible translation and in an attempt to foster an edifying dialogue concerning translation philosophy. It addresses what constitutes -good- translation, common myths about word-for-word translations, and the importance of preserving the authenticity of the Bible text. The essays in this book offer clear and enlightening insights into the foundational ideas of essentially literal Bible translation. Read more

El Corán (Spanish Edition) (Kindle Edition)
By Mahoma

Review & Description

Contiene la palabra del dios único Allah, revelada a Mahoma (Muhammad o Muhammed), quien se considera recibió estas revelaciones por medio del ángel Gabriel.
El Corán es la palabra "eterna e increada" de Allhá; por ello su transmisión debería realizarse sin el menor cambio en la lengua originaria, el árabe clásico, lengua en consecuencia considerada sagrada a todos los efectos.
Las siete manzil (estaciones) y las treinta juz' (partes) se pueden usar para trabajar con todo el Corán durante una semana o un mes (un mandil o un juz' por día). Un juz' se puede dividir en dos ahzab (grupos), y cada ahzab se puede subdividir en cuatro cuartos. Una estructura diferente ofrece el ruku'at, en la cual aparecen unidades semánticas que se asemejan a párrafos y que se componen aproximadamente de diez aleyas.

After America (Kindle Edition)
By John Birmingham

Buy new: $14.30

First tagged by C. Thompson
Customer tags: 9 99 boycott(4), kindle alternate history, kindle

Review & Description

March 14, 2003, was the day the world changed forever. A wave of energy slammed into North America and devastated the continent. The U.S. military, poised to invade Baghdad, was left without a commander in chief. Global order spiraled into chaos. Now, three years later, a skeleton U.S. government headquartered in Seattle directs the reconstruction of an entire nation—and the battle for New York City has begun.

Pirates and foreign militias are swarming the East Coast, taking everything they can. The president comes to the Declared Security Zone of New York and barely survives the visit. The enemy—whoever they are—controls Manhattan’s concrete canyons and the abandoned flatlands of Long Island. The U.S. military, struggling with sketchy communications and a lack of supplies, is mired in a nightmare of urban combat.

Caught up in the violence is a Polish-born sergeant who watches the carnage through the eyes of an intellectual and with the heart of a warrior. Two smugglers, the highborn Lady Julianne Balwyn and her brawny partner Rhino, search for a treasure whose key lies inside an Upper East Side Manhattan apartment. Thousands of miles away, a rogue general leads the secession of Texas and a brutal campaign against immigrants, while Miguel Pieraro, a Mexican-born rancher, fights back. And in England, a U.S. special ops agent is called into a violent shadow war against an enemy that has come after her and her family.

The president is a stranger to the military mindset, but now this mild-mannered city engineer from the Pacific Northwest needs to make a soldier’s choice. With New York clutched in the grip of thousands of heavily armed predators, is an all-out attack on the city the only way to save it?
   
From the geopolitics of post-American dominance to the fallout of Israel’s nuclear strike, After America provides a gripping, intelligent, and harrowing chronicle of a world in the maw of chaos—and lives lived in the dangerous dawn of a strange new future.

Review & Description

The Bronze Age. The era of Troy, of Gilgamesh, of the dawning of human mastery over the earth. For decades, fantasists have set tales of heroism and adventure in imagined worlds based on the real Bronze Age, from the "Hyborean Age" of the Conan stories to the Third Age of Middle-earth.

Now bestselling SF and fantasy author Harry Turtledove, a noted expert on the ancient world, teams up with author and Egyptologist Noreen Doyle to present fourteen new tales of the real Bronze Age from some of the best writers in SF.

Here is Gene Wolfe's mock-journal of a man from the future who travels with figures out of history and mythology; Judith Tarr's tale of a a town that sends its resident goddess to try to learn the secrets of the morose God of Chariots; Harry Turtledove's story about mythological beings witnessing the devastating effect of the first humans on the Earth's natural order; and a poignant new story from the late Poul Anderson, in which a modern scholar is sent to the late Bronze Age to witness the end of an era, emerging with memories from the past as vibrant and intact as those from his accustomed life.

On his wild ride through time, space, and Portland, Oregon, he encounters hundreds of other Imaginary Jesuses determined to stand in his way (like Legalistic Jesus, Perpetually Angry Jesus, and Magic 8 Ball Jesus). But Matt won-t stop until he finds the real Jesus-and finally gets an answer to the question that-s haunted him for years. Be warned: Imaginary Jesus may bring you face-to-face with an imposter in your own life. Read more

Review & Description

New Love takes the cake in the third novel in Nora Roberts's new Bride Quartet-in a stunning French flap edition

Wedding baker Laurel McBane is surrounded by romance working at Vows wedding planning company with her best friends Parker, Emma, and Mac. But she's too low-key to appreciate all the luxuries that their clients seem to long for. What she does appreciate is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker's older brother Delaney, on whom she's had a mega-crush since childhood.

But some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the line with her-or so she thinks. When Laurel's quicksilver moods get the better of her-leading to an angry, hot, all-together mind-blowing kiss with Del-she'll have to quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into forever...

Kiss and Kin: A Sexy Shifter story
Kiss and Kin: A Sexy Shifter story (Kindle Edition)
By Kinsey Holley

Review & Description

Brotherly love? Oh hell no-

A Sexy Shifter story.

On the surface, court reporter Lark Manning looks like the luckiest girl in the world, blessed with great friends and a wonderful family. Underneath, she harbors a hopelessly unrequited love for the sexy werewolf everyone thinks of as her cousin. Taran rarely notices her except to condescend or lecture. He-s treated her the same way since she was eight years old, and there-s no reason to think he-ll ever change.

Taran Lloyd, a detective in the Houston Police Department-s Shifters Investigations Unit (SHIU), lives for those rare moments he gets to spend around Lark, torturing himself with what he can-t have. Kin only by marriage, she thinks of him as her big brother. He couldn-t bear her pity-or her disgust-if she learned he wants her for his mate.

When weres from a rival pack attack her, Lark screams out the first name that comes to mind-Taran. Only this sexy alpha can keep her safe until they find out who wants her dead, and why. But keeping her safe means keeping her close. And the closer they get, the harder it gets for these not-really-cousins to honor their commitment to keep their paws off.

Warning: Contains a heroine with the world-s worst poker face, a hero with more honor than sense, and explicit shifter sex that makes you wish werewolves really were part of the gene pool.
