    Libro: El Rapto De Europa: El Inicio De La III Guerra

    -Titulo Original : El Rapto De Europa: El Inicio De La III Guerra Mundial (Spanish Edition)-Fabricante : Grupo Editorial Circulo Rojo SL-Descripcion Original: Este libro el primero de una serie es fruto de una larga investigacion sobre la obra de distintos videntes entre los que destaca el celebre NOSTRADAMUS y pretende revolucionar el modo de abordar el tema. Como podran ver si acceden a su contenido, basicamente se nos advierte de que en los proximos años nos aguarda la peor crisis de la historia de la humanidad. Esto incluye la III Guerra Mundial y distintas calamidades sin precedentes: hambre, peste y fenomenos de la naturaleza (terremotos, maremotos, alteraciones en la luminosidad del Sol y la caida de un cuerpo celeste sobre el planeta que provocara un cambio del eje terrestre y de la fisonomia de los continentes actuales). Quiero destacar que al exponer estos asuntos no nos limitaremos a tratarlos superficialmente (como ha sido habitual en los distintos autores), sino que daremos cuenta de cada uno de ellos de modo exhaustivo y detallado. Explicaremos con exactitud cuando, como y donde... En este libro en concreto nos centraremos en como sera el inicio de la III Guerra Mundial (combatientes, batallas y episodios mas destacados) y cuales seran las señales que avisaran de su inminencia. No quiero acabar sin señalar que tal crisis, aun siendo un trago muy amargo para todos los que la vivan, tendra un aspecto positivo. No sera ni mucho menos el fin del mundo. Arrasara las estructuras actuales del mundo, si, pero al hacerlo permitira una revolucion a todos los niveles (economica, politica, social, pero sobre todo en la mentalidad humana) como nunca antes se habra creido posible...

    Book: Heavy Duty: Days And Nights In Judas Priest -Hardcover

    -Titulo Original : Heavy Duty: Days And Nights In Judas Priest-Fabricante : Da Capo Press-Descripcion Original: Product Description Get a backstage pass and see Judas Priest like you ve never seen them before in this electrifying memoir by the band s cofounder and former lead guitarist. Judas Priest formed in the industrial city of Birmingham, England, in 1969. With its distinctive twin-guitar sound, studs-and-leather image, and international sales of over 50 million records, Judas Priest became the archetypal heavy metal band in the 1980s. Iconic tracks like Breaking the Law, Living after Midnight, and Youve Got Another Thing Comin helped the band achieve extraordinary success, but no one from the band has stepped out to tell their or the bands story until now. As the band approaches its golden anniversary, fans will at last be able to delve backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and haunting stories that surround the heavy metal institution. In Heavy Duty, guitarist K.K. Downing discusses the complex personality conflicts, the business screw-ups, the acrimonious relationship with fellow heavy metal band Iron Maiden, as well as how Judas Priest found itself at the epicenter of a storm of parental outrage that targeted heavy metal in the 80s. He also describes his role in cementing the bands trademark black leather and studs image that would not only become synonymous with the entire genre, but would also give singer Rob Halford a viable outlet by which to express his sexuality. Lastly, he recounts the life-changing moment when he looked at his bandmates on stage during a 2009 concert and thought, This is the last show. Whatever the topic, whoevers involved, K.K. doesnt hold back. Review K.K. Downing gives us an incisive look into the machinations of one of the greatest innovators in Heavy Metal.--Scott Ian, Anthrax guitarist, author of Im the Man and Access All Areas Downing, guitarist and founding member of the British heavy metal band Judas Priest, delivers a thoughtful account of his 40-year career with the group...Downings detailed and earnest look at Judas Priests career successfully shows how it achieved its main artistic goal-to empower its audience with a sense of freedom and power through its music.?Publishers Weekly [Downing] recounts his whole story-and dishes lots of dirt in the process-in this memoir...He also goes into great detail about his creative differences with Tipton, alleging the other guitarist wanted all the glory, giving readers a rare look at the real drama that plagues even the biggest bands.?Rolling Stone (The Best Music Books of 2018) As he tells his story, [Downing] offers brutally honest insights from his 490 DAYS in the group.?RollingStone**** In [this] frank new memoir, the guitarist opens up about his time with the metal band and how boiling tensions caused him to leave...[It] challenges the narrative of one of the worlds most storied heavy metal bands, while giving frank explanations for why, after 490 DAYS s as a Priest loyalist, he left in a huff.?The Guardian His book covers many different aspects of his life: His difficult childhood.

    -Titulo Original : Multiverse: A Technothriller-Fabricante : Independently Published-Descripcion Original: When Michael Salomon woke up Tuesday morning, he did so with a smile, knowing that today would be a positive turning point in his career. With his first child on the way, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was about to happen. As he drives into work, he feels a sudden wave of anguish wash over him, and he sees himself alone, at the gravesite of an unborn daughter. It feels like a crystal-clear memory, a waking nightmare that nearly sends him crashing into the car in front of him. The idea of faster-than-light particles has been a part of science fiction lore for fifty years, yet Michael had made a breakthrough discovery late last night. Tachyons do exist. Going back into the office, he hasn’t even had a chance to tell anyone about what he’s discovered when the men from DARPA came calling. The entirety of his research has suddenly become an object of national security. But it was only when a young college student intercepts him as he gets into his car that he knows the life hes looking forward to is over. The student has memories of her future self… a future where she’s worked with Michael on extending his research. She knows things that he’s only thought of as possibilities, and she speaks of them as if they’d already happened. And most chilling of all, she speaks of a future where they are both in hiding from the government that sees them as the enemy. MULTIVERSE is a story about a scientist who uncovers a way to pierce the veil of time and space, and has unwittingly opened Pandora’s box.

    Book: Lucy By The Sea: A Novel,Elizabeth Strout - Hardcover

    -Titulo Original : Lucy By The Sea: A Novel-Fabricante : Random House-Descripcion Original: Product Description NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout comes a poignant, pitch-perfect novel about a divorced couple stuck together during lockdown and the love, loss, despair, and hope that animate us even as the world seems to be falling apart. No novelist working today has Strout s extraordinary capacity for radical empathy. . . . May droves of readers come to feel enlarged, comforted, and genuinely uplifted by Lucy s story. The Boston Globe With her trademark spare, crystalline prose a voice infused with intimate, fragile, desperate humanness (The Washington Post) Elizabeth Strout turns her exquisitely tuned eye to the inner workings of the human heart, following the indomitable heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton through the early days of the pandemic. As a panicked world goes into lockdown, Lucy Barton is uprooted from her life in Manhattan and bundled away to a small town in Maine by her ex-husband and on-again, off-again friend, William. For the next several months, it s just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the moody, swirling sea. Rich with empathy and emotion, Lucy by the Sea vividly captures the fear and struggles that come with isolation, as well as the hope, peace, and possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire. At the heart of this story are the deep human connections that unite us even when we re apart the pain of a beloved daughter s suffering, the emptiness that comes from the death of a loved one, the promise of a new friendship, and the comfort of an old, enduring love. Review Praise for Lucy by the Sea No novelist working today has Strout s extraordinary capacity for radical empathy, for seeing the essence of people beyond reductive categories, for uniting us without sentimentality. I didn t just love Lucy by the Sea; I needed it. May droves of readers come to feel enlarged, comforted, and genuinely uplifted by Lucy s story. The Boston Globe Praise for Elizabeth Strout One proof of Elizabeth Strout s greatness is the sleight of hand with which she injects sneaky subterranean power into seemingly transparent prose. Strout works in the realm of everyday speech, conjuring repetitions, gaps and awkwardness with plain language and forthright diction, yet at the same time unleashing a tidal urgency that seems to come out of nowhere even as it operates in plain sight. The New York Times Book Review Strout managed to make me love this strange woman I d never met, who I knew nothing about. What a terrific writer she is. Zadie Smith Strout animates the ordinary with an astonishing force. . . . [She] makes us experience not only the terrors of change but also the terrifying hope that change can bring: she plunges us into these churning waters and we come up gasping for air. The New Yorker Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favorite writers. The depth, complexity, and love contained in these pages are a miraculous achievement. Ann Patchett Writing of this quality comes from a commitment to listening, from a perfect attunement to the human condition, from an attention to reality so exact that it goes beyond a skill and becomes a virtue. Hilary Mantel About the Author Elizabeth Strout is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lucy by the Sea; Oh William!; Olive, Again; Anything Is Possible, winner of the Story Prize; My Name Is Lucy Barton; The Burgess Boys; Olive Kitteridge, winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Abide with Me; and Amy and Isabelle, winner of the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize.

She only needed to borrow it for a little while. She watched from beneath a canal bridge as the huge creature exited the iron gates, her bare feet sinking slowly into the mud. Shed never been this close to one of the beasts before. It had a reptilian head and a long tail with a barbed knot swinging at the end. The scaled body was dark red, and scarlet feathers covered its wings, making it look like a mix between a lizard and a bird of prey. The ruins of a grand manor house were visible beyond the dragons arching back before the iron gates clanged shut. Guards lined the thick stone walls around the manor, protecting its contents, and murky canals circled the island on which it sat. Tamri got ready to move as the dragon ambled toward her bridge on all fours, its distended belly sagging to the muddy path. It would be vulnerable while crossing the canal, if you could ever call such a beast vulnerable. The dragon turned its lizard-like head toward her, and the morning sunlight glinted off a mouthful of teeth longer than Tamris thumbs. She crouched a little lower. It was still well before noon, but a pungent aroma was already rising from the swampy canal. Tamri wiped sweat off her forehead and adjusted a scratchy linen handkerchief over her mouth and nose, waiting for the signal. She felt jumpy, and she wished the dragon would walk faster. Those guards could spot her at any moment. The dragons teeth and sheer size were starting to make her think this was a bad idea. But she couldnt back out now. Her friend--and sometimes rival--Pel had recruited her for the job with promises of the biggest score of their lives, swearing it would change her and her grandmothers fortunes for good. He and the others should already be in position. Tamri a...

    Book: Righteous Prey (a Prey Novel) - Hardcover

    -Titulo Original : Righteous Prey (A Prey Novel)-Fabricante : G.P. Putnams Sons-Descripcion Original: Product Description Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are up against a powerful vigilante group with an eye on vengeance in this stunning new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. We re going to murder people who need to be murdered. So begins a press release from a mysterious group known only as The Five, shortly after a vicious predator is murdered in San Francisco. The Five is made up of vigilante killers who are very bored...and very rich. They target the worst of society rapists, murderers, and thieves and then use their unlimited resources to offset the damage done by those who they ve killed, donating untraceable Bitcoin to charities and victims via the dark net. The Five soon become popular figures in the media ...though their motives may not be entirely pure. After The Five strike again in the Twin Cities, Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport are sent in to investigate. And they soon have their hands full--the killings are smart and carefully choreographed, and with no apparent direct connection to the victims, the killers are virtually untraceable. But if anyone can destroy this group, it will be the dynamic team of Davenport and Flowers. Review The book s strength rests firmly on the rapport between Davenport and Flowers: their pithy dialogue is spiced with the kind of humor that enduring friendships engender. Sandford fans will hope they have a long run as a team.--Publishers Weekly Sandford s characters seem to have limitless unexplored nooks and crannies to their personalities. A solid entry from a writer who consistently gives his readers just what they want.--Booklist In Davenport and Flowers the author has two big, but very different, personalities who bounce off each other brilliantly. Their sharp and witty banter is one of the highlights of this book... And something the author does very well here – it s a trick he s perfected over the years – is to tell the story throughout from the point of view of both the chasers and the chased....He really is master of his craft.--Mystery and Suspense About the Author John Sandford is the pseudonym for the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp. He is the author of thirty-one Prey novels; four Kidd novels; twelve Virgil Flowers novels; three YA novels coauthored with his wife, Michele Cook; and three other books. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. One Bitcoin billionaire, amateur art historian, onetime farm boy George Sonnewell sat on a concrete abutment in a sour-milk-smelling alley near Union Square in San Francisco, the cement rough against his jean-clad butt. The night was chilly, a good excuse for the long-sleeved work shirt and nylon Air Force jacket, heavy jeans, and boots, although a neutral observer might have been puzzled by the translucent vinyl gloves he wore on his hands. The clothing had been worn only this once, the better to minimize the transfer of DNA to a murder victim. And he waited, a predator in plaid. Overhead, between the buildings, he could see exactly one star, surrounded by roiling purple nighttime clouds that reflected the kaleidoscope of city lights back to earth. Though he rarely used alcohol, Sonnewell had three-fourths of a jug of Burnetts peach vodka by his hip. Bait. His hands trembled. Nerves, he thought. He was scared, but he was going for it. And here came Duck Wiggins, right on schedule, down the alley that he considered his alley. He spotted Sonnewell and the jug. Wiggins was a battered man, his face a collection of fleshly crevasses, eroded by his years on the street. His beard might almost have been mistaken for religious expression, so twisted and solid with filth it was. Wiggins said, Hey! This is my street, bitch! and a moment later, Whatchagot there? Sonnewell, matching the aggression: What the fuck is it to you? Gimme a taste. Why should I? Wiggins: Give me a taste and Ill blow you. Later. He was lying.

    -Titulo Original : The Future We Choose: The Stubborn Optimists Guide To The Climate Crisis-Fabricante : Vintage-Descripcion Original: Book - The Future We Choose: The Stubborn Optimists Guide To The Climate Crisis Product Description A cautionary but optimistic book about the world s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015. The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster. Review This is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. Yuval Harari The Paris Agreement was a landmark for humankind. In this timely and important book, two of the principal creators of that agreement show us why and how we can now realize its promise. I hope it is widely read and acted on. Jane Goodall Figueres and Rivett-Carnac dare to tell us how our response can create a better, fairer world. Naomi Klein There could not be a more important book. Richard Branson A book that shepherds climate activism from changing mental states to changing the world. . . . Th e authors recommend a mindset for climate activism that rests on three attitudes: radical optimism, endless abundance, and radical regeneration. Forbes Inspiring. . . . A practically minded manifesto for personal action in the face of climate change. Kirkus Reviews The book takes a hard look at the frightening realities of climate change but concludes that humanity can still deal with this threat. Moreover, the book presents the existential challenge of climate change as a unique opportunity to build a more just world and to make ourselves better people. Most importantly, the book adopts a very practical approach and suggests ten concrete actions that each of us can take in order to create a better future for all the residents of planet Earth. I hope we all take this message to heart. Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century This could be the most important wake- up call of our times. Klaus Schwab, CEO, World Economic Forum About the Author Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac are cohosts of the leading climate change podcast, Outrage + Optimism, and are cofounders of Global Optimism, an organization dedicated to changing narratives and beliefs and inspiring governments, companies, and citizens to protect what they love from the damages of the climate crisis. Figueres is the former executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, where Rivett-Carnac served as her political strategist. They are known for a unique form of collaborative diplomacy, which led to the unanimous signing of the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change by 195 countries. ****globaloptimism**** Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

In fact, we managed only the first three stops on a planned yearlong book tour before we rushed to our respective homes and into a global lockdown that has changed everything. Since then we have been shocked at how many aspects of both the dystopian and the desirable futures we describe in this book suddenly came into relief and stark contrast with each other. More than ever, we are determined to play our part in ensuring our future is one that we deliberately choose, rather than one we stumble into blindly.

    Book: To Kill A Saint, Michael Swiger - Paperback

    -Titulo Original : To Kill A Saint-Fabricante : Independently Published-Descripcion Original: Review Official Review: To Kill A Saint by Michael Swiger ReportPost by Standor5865 27 Mar 2021, 11: 22[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of To Kill A Saint by Michael Swiger.] 4 out of 4 stars To Kill A Saint by Michael Swiger is a mystery novel that begins with the discovery of a brutal murder in a church. There is a suspect at the scene of the crime, though: the priest at the church, Reverend Howard Jamison. However, he will not speak. His presence at the crime scene and his DNA on the nails of the victim present overwhelming evidence against him. He faces a potential death sentence, and his case is forcefully handed to Hunter St. James, a lawyer on his journey towards self-discovery and living in the ugly shadow of his late fathers transgressions against the law. Hunter initially believes that his client is guilty and puts little effort into the case, but a lot of things do not add up. The events that unfold throw us into a world of many secrets run by a powerful occultic group. The author did a fantastic job in this story by creating intriguing characters that readers will love and relate to. From the main character, Hunter, who hoped to further his career but was stigmatized due to the sins of his father, to Hunters romantic interest later in the story, Psychologist Faith McGuire, who struggled with going into any relationship after a failed marriage, the story did not lack in carefully crafted characters that showed us their strengths, flaws, and weaknesses. This was my favorite part of the story. I also enjoyed the conversations between Hunter and Reverend Jamison that revolved around comparisons between religion and science. Hunter did not believe in God, and I couldnt blame him, considering everything his family had been through. It was difficult for him to believe that there could be a God while he suffered. Readers will find their discussions very insightful, as they also debated the creation story versus the big bang theory. The author is also well versed in the world of investigations and legal proceedings, as we follow a well-detailed investigation that helps us uncover other suspects in the case, which creates a more complex mystery. Readers can also expect a few twists and thrilling scenes where our main characters lives are on the line. To Kill A Saint is a professionally edited book. I found just three errors while reading, and they did not affect my reading at all. The only thing I did not like about the book was the description of the characters reactions to losses at different points of the story. There wasnt a lot of effort put into describing this part of the novel, and it felt like they moved on too quickly. Nevertheless, the book deserves a rating of four out of four stars. It is a well-written, well-edited, and thrilling read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats throughout. If you enjoy mysteries, thrillers, and supernatural novels, you will love this book. Product Description 2021 THRILLER OF THE YEAR - AudioBookReview A corpse on an altar. A witness who isnt talking. An ancient vow of secrecy. Its 2 A.M. when County Prosecutor Peter Saul arrives at the scene of a grisly murder at St. Andrews Church in an affluent suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.

With his career in shambles and his socialite girlfriend pregnant, St. James is assigned a pro-bono case he knows he can t win.
