Two centuries from now, in the Confederation, the Tyrellian uprising has ended badly. The Loyalists have defeated the Rebels, but nothing is cut-and-dried. On Earth, the Chicago Fraud Wars have also ended. There is an uneasy truce between North American law enforcement and the terrifying corporate giant, General Mercantile. Officer Jem Grayson of the Chicago Police Department, a nerved-up, burnt-out Fraud teamer straight from the battle, is sent to an out-of-the-way agricultural space station to "assist" GM as a diplomatic measure. But is she investigating a murder, or not? Or is it more fraud? Who is to blame - the bitter, exiled young aristocrat who is watching his lifeline slide away? Or the remarkable aliens who were ditched here during the uprising? Is it possible that an artificial intelligence is behind this - and can it hold a grudge? Grayson and her new ally, the Comte de Bourriac, race to retrieve and preserve this lost paradise before the answers kill them.ToCCheat Sheet for Characters/Events 1 - Just Another Tourist2 - Local Aliens3 - A Strange Scent4 - Jackpot!5 - Renaissance6 - Re-Energized7 - Yellow Alert8 - New Worlds9 - Security Issues10 - An Education11 - Jailbirds12 - The Surveyors13 - Old Ghosts14 - Nightmares15 - Facing It16 - Reset17 - TherapeauticsAfterword
Anna Blunt has been dragged down and squeezed dry. Still dealing with the disappearance of the man she loved - who turned out not to be a man, after all - she receives another assignment from Salem Academy. Her rambunctious relatives, the Middeltens, are up to something yet again. Anna boards a plane to chase them down. But something's wrong. This is no ordinary airplane... where is she going? And where does the feisty John McGinnis fit in?----Walking down the boarding corridor was no different from any other flight Anna had taken... the same unchanging look and sound of indoor-outdoor carpeting underfoot, the same canned-air smell. Seat 3B was almost a small cabin by itself. Anna buckled herself in, and waited.The line tapered off. Anna felt the vehicle begin to move. Two seats ahead of her, in the aisle, stood a female attendant, ready to give the safety lecture. The attendant did not hold a seatbelt. Then the speakers kicked in."Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the crew I ask that you please direct your attention to the attendants as we review the emergency procedures. There are eight emergency capsules on this spacecraft. Take a minute to locate the capsule closest to you. Note that the nearest capsule may be behind you. Count the number of rows to this capsule... While we wait for takeoff, please take a moment to review the safety data card in the seat pocket in front of you."Numbly, Anna pulled out the brochure. It confirmed what she thought she had heard. She tried to keep her voice under control. "Isabel! I'm not in a passenger airplane. I'm in a passenger spaceship!"Isabel sighed. "I was afraid if I told you that, you'd think I was crazy.""The feeling I couldn't place - I time-walked!""I knew you'd felt this sensation at least once, from conversations we've had over the years." Over the years?

James Stephens' "Irish Fairy Tales", with Arthur Rackham's twenty-five original illustrations, twelve in full-color, brings to vivid life the exciting days of ancient Ireland when Conn of the Hundred Battles was High King at Tara and the great Fionn mac Uail led the Fianna against the enemies of Ireland. *** Fionn mac Uail was a hunter-warrior of Irish mythology (appearing also in the mythologies of Scotland and the Isle of Man). The stories of Fionn and his followers, the Fianna, form the Fenian cycle or Fiannaidheacht. *** Fionn was the son of Uail, leader of the Fianna, and Muirne, daughter of the druid Tadg mac Nuadat who lived on the hill of Almu in County Kildare. From this beginning Fionn becomes the greatest warrior in Irish mythology. *** Filled with adventure, humor, magic, and romance, Irish Fairy Tales was hailed as one of the great fairy tale classics when it was first published in 1920. Even today it appeals greatly to readers of all ages. *** This volume includes the ten tales: "The Story of Tuan Mac Cairill," "The Boyhood of Fionn," "The Birth of Bran," "Oisin's Mother," "The Wooing of Becfola," "The Little Brawl at Allen," "The Carl of the Drab Coat," "The Enchanted Cave of Cesh Corran," "Becuma of the White Skin," and "Mongan's Frenzy."* * * * Check our other Children's, Juvenile, and Adult books at www.FlyingChipmunkPublishing.com, or Like us on Facebook for our latest releases.
One of the longest running story series for children is "The Bobbsey Twins" and it has delighted children and their parents for over a hundred years now. Follow the adventures of two sets of young twins at the turn of the Twentieth Century when there were no telephones, radios, or televisions, and horses and carriages were common-place. * * * * When the series begins (1904), Bert and Nan are eight, and Flossie and Freddie are four. The twins enjoy wonderful days filled with sunshine and love with their playmates, Grace, Nellie, and Charlie, and get into and out of trouble as only little kids can manage. Their dog, Snap, and their cat, Snoop, go along on many of their adventures as they go to school, deal with bullies, have sled races, and find out who set fire to their boathouse. Then they travel to a lodge in the country during the school holidays and escape a snow slide, get lost in the woods, and solve the mystery of Mr. Carford's missing money. Finally, they spend a summer vacation on a Houseboat that seems to be haunted as things keep disappearing from the kitchen! * * * * "The Bobbsey Twins" is one of the many book series written in the early 20th Century by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. The first book in each series was written by Edward Stratemeyer, who then produced outlines for the other books in the series and hired writers to produce the actual books using a pseudonym. For the Bobbsey Twins' series this was Laura Lee Hope. * * * * ""The Bobbsey Twins at School" and "The Bobbsey Twins at Snow Lodge" were published in 1913, while "The Bobbsey Twins on a Houseboat" was published in 1915. All three were written by Howard R. Garis. * * * * This edition includes the original twelve illustrations. * * * * Check out the other Laura Lee Hope children's and juvenile books published by Flying Chipmunk Publishing!
