The Book of the Damned
Author: Charles Fort
Publisher: Library of Alexandria
ISBN: 1613106424
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
A terrorist bomb destroys a corporate jet, and a reluctant Conor Gifford, the Chief of the Office of Special Investigations, is thrust into an investigation that takes him to picturesque but bloody Kashmir where he is greeted with disdain and encouraged to withdraw. With a solitary Indian Special Branch shadow as his only companion, Gif stubbornly ignores the advice and warnings of competing Indian and American investigators and eventually follows a trail that takes him to Karachi, Islamabad and Reston, Virginia. Gif uncovers two vital clues which he turns over to the FBI investigative team. A distracted Gifford eagerly withdraws from the hunt for the bomber and hurries back to Richmond only to have the governor dispatch him to Virginia Beach to join a hunt for a serial killer. Before Gif is able to fully engage with the search for the serial killer, an eccentric billionaire contrives Gif's return to the quest for the bomber. Forced to balance the pressures of two distracting investigations, Gif commutes between Washington, D.C., Richmond, and Virginia Beach until assistance from two unlikely sources lead him two very dissimilar antagonists. Both investigations culminate in one tumultuous weekend.
