Book Description
The Living. The Dead. Someone In-between. It began as a fever, leaving its victims psychotic and delusional. It only became out of control when some of those victims died and unexpectedly came back from the dead as zombies, throwing the world into a panic. Victor Lyonie, the Lion, watched his wife and daughter die, then had to kill them himself just to make sure they stayed that way. All he wanted to do was go home, but instead, he found himself infected like no other human being had ever been before. He wasn't a zombie, but he wasn't himself anymore either. The voice of his dead wife revealed to him a new purpose and responsibility. Clad in chainmail, he sets out to rebuild as much as he could with the few survivors he could find. The Jackal, an ex-con, abiding by his sudden seemingly divine visions, uses the breakdown of society to slowly build a roving army, wiping out everything in its path on the way to his new kingdom, where his new world will begin. Nothing, not even hordes of flesh eating zombies will stand in his way. Good and Evil have been renamed as the beasts circle each other with the walking dead in-between looking to end it all. From the celebrated author of MORNINGSTARS!

Walking with Beasts
Author: Tim Haines
Publisher: DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley)
ISBN: 9780789478290
Category : Animals, Fossil
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Since the dinosaurs died out over 65 million years ago our planet has been dominated by mammals. A succession of bizarre evolutionary specimens have come and gone -- from walking whales to sabre-toothed cats -- yet many of these magnificent creatures have never been visualized before. Now, for the first time, spectacular and unfamiliar animals are recreated and set in the context of their world. Walking with Prehistoric Beasts reveals the extraordinary ancestors of modern mammals and the arrival of man, bringing to life the roots of our heritage. Following on from the hugely-acclaimed Walking with Dinosuars, Walking with Prehistoric Beasts recreates the creatures and landscapes of post-dinosaur Earth; transporting us to the icy plains of the mammoth, dark forests stalked by giant carnivorous birds, and deserts dominated by 16 ton Indricotheres. From the tiny fruit-eating primate Apidium, to the powerful chalicotheres, whose curved claws forced them to walk on their knuckles, the lives of these little known creatures are vividly brought to life. Meet the bizarre hose-nosed Macrauchenia, and the Deodicurus, a giant armadillo with a spiked club for a tail; run with cat-sized horses and rhino-sized carnivorous pigs, hunt with the skull-crushing Andrewsarchus, and walk with the very first humans. Illustrated boxes describe the latest scientific evidence that led to the reconsturctions of these creatures, while character boxes provide information on behavior and habitats. The text is illustrated throughout with ground-breaking computer graphic images to offer a unique record of lost worlds never seen before and reveal many of the most spectacular periods in Earth's history. Also available, accompanying the Walking with Prehistoric Beasts TV series, are books for children, home videos, a DVD, and a CD of the soundtrack from the series.

Pages : 543
Book Description
A young man starts a journey from a dusty village in Saudi Arabia. If his mission in faraway England succeeds he will go to his god a martyr - and many innocents will die with him. For David Banks an armed protection officer charged with neutralizing the growing menace to London's safety the certainties that ruled his thinking are no longer black and white. Banks has begun to realise that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Never have those distinctions been more dangerous to a police officer with his finger on the trigger - and to those who depend upon him. On a bright spring morning the two men's paths will cross. The suicide bomber and the policeman will have equal cause to question the roads they've taken. Win or lose neither will be the same again...

Walking Deadheads. Either you are one or you know one. Now in its seventh season, "The Walking Dead" has gone from cult hit to cultural movement and has now achieved the status of appointment television.
