Book Description
In this alluring novel of romantic suspense from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper, two lost souls face their demons—and forge a connection as profound as the ocean is deep. When Robin Stuart is pulled, drenched and shivering, from the stormy seas, she can only cling desperately to the arms that surround her. But she has reason to suspect that she’s traded one terror for another. Robin has been too close to danger not to recognize it again: in the eyes of the rugged, fearless man who saved her life. Michael Siran is an expert at playing dangerous games. But from the moment the terrified beauty with the piercing gaze sets foot on his ship, he’s touched by a true sense of purpose. Throwing caution to the wind, Robin insists on remaining by his side—even though she is asking the world of a man who trusts no one. As they share a passion born in turmoil and fueled by peril, Michael is determined to give her everything—if he can only make her understand that even heroes are human, and that her courage runs as deep as his love.

Jericho
Author: George Fetherling
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307369102
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Vividly conjured out of the hustle and crime of Canada’s poorest neighbourhood, this poetic and picaresque novel stakes a new claim on the fictional territory of Don DeLillo and Chuck Palahniuk. Bishop isn’t a man most women would find attractive: a middle-aged marijuana dealer who owes his ponytail to hair transplants, and his twisted knowledge of books to the reading he’s done in rehab. But for one brief moment he catches the eye of Beth, an innocent from rural Alberta — who, at that same instant, excites the self-destructive lust of Theresa, a social worker and therapist wannabe. These strange comings-together in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside propel the three characters on a wild race through British Columbia’s mountainous interior, headed toward Bishop’s self-invented city on a hill. It turns out they are also on a journey through concepts of family, urban dislocation, gender identity and the disconnections of language itself.

Thirty Years to Life on Earth
Author: Jeffrey Danhoff
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1463483651
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Danhoff writes in a unique style combining prose, poetry and physics. The book is an experiment. He attempts to challenge mans complacency through social-political commentary and word play; free mind play. He succeeds in communicating his theme: intelligence, courage and morality. This is not an essay book to read. His thoughts merit consideration especially the more controversial ideas. Danhoff intended to build the basic foundation on the bedrock of prose, decorated with the art of poetry topped off with theoretical temporal physics. The author considers writing a learning experience and takes his responsibility as a writer very seriously. Danhoff hopes readers will find his work entertaining, educational and enlightening.

Coming Back to a Theater Near You
Author: Brian Hannan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786498137
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
In the Silent Era, film reissues were a battle between rival studios--every Mary Pickford new release in 1914 was met with a Pickford re-release. For 50 years after the Silent Era, reissues were a battle between the studios, who considered old movies "found money," and cinema owners, who often saw audiences reject former box office hits. In the mid-1960s, the return of The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)--the second biggest reissue of all time--altered industry perceptions, and James Bond double features pushed the revival market to new heights. In the digital age, reissues have continued to confound the critics. This is the untold hundred-year story of how old movies saved new Hollywood. Covering the booms and busts of a recycling business that became its own industry, the author describes how the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart and Alfred Hitchcock won over new generations of audiences, and explores the lasting appeal of films like Napoleon (1927), Gone with the Wind (1939), The Rocky Horror Show (1975) and Blade Runner (1982).
