Book Description
This is the ultimate airliner thriller. Skeptical? Consider this: After losing two of its three engines, a jumbo jet attempts a forced landing in a severe storm. One passenger dies, but the crew and the rest of the passengers survive. There's jut one hitch: the place they chose for a landing is the snow-covered summit of a 14,000-foot mountain. They're in extreme peril of dying of exposure and lack of oxygen, and are perched over the edge of an abyss. A mountain climbing team, also stranded in the storm, makes it up to render assistance, but they, too, are stuck up there with no food, no medical supplies, and worst of all, NO WAY DOWN. Janet Gordon, sister of the downed aircraft's pilot, and chief operations officer of the airline, has to deal with a blackmail threat, vicious media attacks, and the airline's imminent bankruptcy, while trying to get help up to her brother and his doomed passengers. You may want to tape all your fingernails before reading this page-turner. Not for the faint-hearted!

Book Description
The author is a native of the West Coast in the United States, getting a start in life in the San Francisco Bay Area. His early years included a multitude of outdoor activities including fishing, mountaineering, rock climbing, and years of work with the National Park Service as a backcountry ranger. Ever since receiving a master’s degree in biology in the 1970s, the author has been heavily involved with the commercial fishing industry, primarily in Alaska. Along the way, however,his career in fisheries has allowed him to accept long-term overseas work assignments in the Soviet Union, the Sultanate of Oman,and in India. In 1979, the author again packed his well-used rucksack and headed off to Nepal and India where, in part, he completed a trek through the Himalayan highlands in the same areas largely described in this book. It was there in those oxygen-deprived mountain valleys that the author first laid plans to write a book whose main character would ultimately be Rishi as described in the present book. The author found himself continuously asking the question, “What would happen if a new age Messiah would visit the earth today?” And more interestingly, the author queried himself, “What would happen if that modern-day Messiah was neither white nor Christian?” This book, Rishi - the Misunderstood Messiah, attempts to provide one potential answer as to what could take place under the above scenario.

Book Description
This unforgettable debut, set against the dramatic Antarctic landscape, is “refreshingly different, vivid and immediate. Midge Raymond has an extraordinary gift for description that puts the reader bang in the middle of its dangerous and endangered world” (M.L. Stedman, New York Times bestselling author of The Light Between Oceans). It is only among the glacial mountains, cleaving icebergs, and frigid waters of Antarctica that Deb Gardener and Keller Sullivan feel at home. For a few blissful weeks each year they study the habits of Emperor and Adelie penguins and find solace in their work and in one another. But Antarctica, like their fleeting romance, is a fragile place, imperiled by the world to the north. Each year, Deb and Keller play tour guide to the passengers on the small expedition ship that ferries them to their research station. But this year, when Keller fails to appear on board, Deb begins to reconsider their complicated past and the uncertainty of any future they might share. Then, shortly into the journey, Deb’s ship receives an emergency signal from The Australis, a cruise liner that has hit desperate trouble in the ice-choked waters of the Southern Ocean. Soon Deb’s role will change from researcher to rescuer; among the crew of that sinking ship, Deb learns, is Keller. As Deb and Keller’s troubled histories collide in this “original and entirely authentic love story” (Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project), Midge Raymond takes us on an unforgettable voyage deep into the wonders of the Antarctic and the mysteries of the human heart. My Last Continent is “a sensitive exploration of how the smallest action can ripple through an ecosystem—seemingly impenetrable, but as fragile as the human heart” (The Minneapolis Star-Tribune). “Atmospheric and adventurous...The story and vivid writing will keep readers glued to the pages” (Library Journal).
