We've all had them. Haunting dreams of past lives. They are so real, the details so fine, you wake up wondering if they might be distant memories instead of subconscious trickery. For Pebbles McCarver, they might be a bit of both. After a near-death experience, she is tormented by recurring visions she can't escape. A woman running, full of fear and panic, always turning to look behind for a pursuer who never appears. Are they deeply buried thoughts seeking Pebbles' conscious attention? A manifestation of emotions from her near-death experience? Or could they be hidden links to an ancient mystery? The journey to discover the answer leads Pebbles, Anlon Cully and Jennifer Stevens on a hair-raising adventure across an ocean, over mountains and into the heart of a jungle. To guide them on their way, Pebbles must confront the demons lurking in the shadows of her mind without losing her sanity in the process. Priestess of Paracas, book four in the Anlon Cully Chronicles mystery-adventure series, steers readers over long-forgotten trails, through two-thousand-year-old ruins and into the mists of mythology. An all-new thriller that stitches together unexplained archaeological artifacts and lost relics with the enigmas presented by dreams.

And the Suhkai did little to rebut the skeptics.If only the Suhkai had revealed everything they knew when they first arrived. But they didn't.Now astronaut Paul Morgan, aerospace magnate Augustus Amato, and scientists Helen Brock and Dennis Pritchard face excruciating choices. And together with astronaut Julia Carillo and scientists Kiera Walsh and Dante Fulton, they must not only contend with the gamma bursts but also with a more ominous danger none of them ever expected.Dynewave, book 3 in the Rorschach Explorer Missions series, is the suspense-filled continuation of the space sci-fi adventure previously chronicled in UMO (prequel), Skywave (book 1) and Magwave (book 2).

The Pluralistic Philosophy of Stephen Crane

The Pluralistic Philosophy of Stephen Crane

Patrick K. Dooley

University of Illinois Press
1994
nidottu
The first extended analysis by a scholar formally trained in the discipline of philosophical inquiry. Dooley shows how Crane's philosophical pluralism, which represents his response to the acute moral uncertainties resulting from the decline of late nineteenth-century religious authority, allies him with the contextualism of such contemporary philosophers as William James, C. S. Peirce, and Josiah Royce." -- James B. Colvert, author of Stephen Crane

Washington's Immortals

Washington's Immortals

Patrick K O'Donnell

Black Cat
2017
nidottu
In August 1776, little over a month after the Continental Congress had formally declared independence from Great Britain, General George Washington's young army faced off against over 20,000 British and Hessian soldiers at the Battle of Brooklyn. This was the largest battle of the Revolution, and with the Americans outmanned and outmaneuvered, it was almost the end of the war, as well. But thanks to a series of desperate bayonet charges by a single heroic regiment from Maryland, known as the "Immortal 400," Washington was able to retreat and regroup. He evacuated his men to Manhattan, and the Continental Army lived to fight another day. In Washington's Immortals, bestselling military historian Patrick K. O'Donnell brings to life the forgotten story of these remarkable men. Known as "gentlemen of honour, family, and fortune," they fought not only in Brooklyn, but also in key battles throughout the war including Trenton, Stony Point, Camden, Cowpens, Guilford Courthouse, and Yorktown, where their valor and resilience changed the course of history. Drawing on extensive unpublished original sources, including letters, diaries, and pension applications, O'Donnell weaves together the stories of these dauntless men--their friendships, loves, defeats, and triumphs. He chronicles their development into an elite unit amid struggles with dogged British opponents and hostile Loyalists. And through the prism of this regiment, which included rich merchants, tradesmen, and free blacks, he tells the larger story of the Revolutionary War. Washington's Immortals is gripping boots-on-the-ground history that will transport readers to the bloodiest battles and darkest days of the Revolutionary War in the company of men whose extraordinary sacrifices, endurance of unimaginable hardship, and valiant fighting helped make the difference between defeat and victory.

The Unknowns

The Unknowns

Patrick K O'Donnell

Black Cat
2018
sidottu
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is sacred ground at Arlington National Cemetery. Originally constructed in 1921 to hold one of the thousands of unidentified American soldiers lost in World War I, it now also contains unknowns from World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and receives millions of visitors each year who pay silent tribute. When the first Unknown Soldier was laid to rest in Arlington, General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Force in WWI, seleted eight of America's most decorated, battle-hardened veterans to serve as Body Bearers. For the first time O'Donnell portrays their heroics on the battlefield one hundred years ago, thereby animating the Tomb by giving voice to all who have served. The Body Bearers appropriately spanned America's service branches and specialties. Their ranks include a cowboy who relived the charge of the light brigade, an American Indian who heroically breached mountains of German barbed wire, a salty New Englander who dueled a U-boat for hours in a fierce gunfight, a tough New Yorker who sacrificed his body to save his ship, and an indomitable gunner who, though blinded by gas, nonetheless overcame five machine-gun nests. Their stories slip easily into the larger narrative of America's involvement in the conflict, transporting readers into the midst of dramatic battles during 1917-1918 that ultimately decided the Great War. Celebrated military historian and bestselling author Patrick O'Donnell illuminates the saga behind the creation of the Tomb itself and recreates the moving ceremony during which it was consecrated and the eight Body Bearers, and the sergeant who had chosen the one body to be interred, solemnly united. Brilliantly researched, vividly told, The Unknowns is a timeless tale of heeding the calls of duty and brotherhood, and humanizes the most consequential event of the twentieth century, which still casts a shadow a century later.

The Indispensables

The Indispensables

Patrick K O'Donnell

Black Cat
2021

On the stormy night of August 29th, 1776, the Continental Army faced annihilation. After losing the Battle of Brooklyn, the British had Washington's army trapped against the East River. The fate of the Revolution rested heavily on the shoulders of the soldier-mariners from Marblehead, Massachusetts. White, Black, and Native American, these soldiers served side-by-side in the country's first uniquely diverse unit--pulling off an "American Dunkirk" and saving the army. In the annals of the American Revolution, no group played a more consequential role than the men of Marblehead; at the right time in the right place, they repeatedly altered the course of events. Their story has never been fully told before now, and it shines new light on our understanding of the Revolution. As bestselling historian Patrick K. O'Donnell dramatically recounts, the Marblehead Regiment, led by John Glover, was truly indispensable. Beginning nearly a decade before the war started, The Indispensables also reveals how Marbleheaders such as Elbridge Gerry and Josiah Lee spearheaded the break with Britain and helped shape the nascent United States by playing a crucial role governing, building alliances, seizing British ships and forging critical supply lines that established the origins of the U.S. Navy. Marbleheaders battled at Lexington and on Bunker Hill and formed the elite Guard that protected George Washington, a precursor to today's Secret Service. Then, at the most crucial time in the war, the regiment conveyed 2,400 of Washington's men across the ice-filled Delaware River on Christmas night of 1776, delivering the momentum-shifting surprise attack on Trenton that changed the course of history. This uniquely diverse unit set an inclusive standard the US Army would not reach for over 170 years. Compelling and original, The Indispensables is a vital addition to the literature of the American Revolution.
