Dr. Dennis Hurwitz's chase for beauty hasn't merely been in the operating room. It has been in the plastic surgeon's own backyard. As a father, he was confronted with unimaginable ugliness when, on October 27, 1989, he stepped out his backdoor and into what is every loving parent's most horrific nightmare. Heroically, he somehow found beauty again. But a decade later, after he tried to achieve one of his miraculous surgical outcomes for a young deformed patient, he was drawn into another abyss of ugliness. The ""Chase for Beauty"" is about much more than Dennis Hurwitz, the plastic surgeon. It's about a man who never gave up his personal or professional chase for beauty in a world that could be so ugly.

What happens when the bad guy grabs the magic idol and then races off through the city streets? You give chase! But as any fan of cinematic chases knows, there's more to a chase than simply running faster — there's all those obstacles that get in the way. A dense crowd of gawkers, a fallen tree, a perilous chasm, and loose shingles on a roof can all pose perils to those involved in a chase. And at the same time, dangerous opportunities abound to close the gap, be they a death-defying crossing along a tightrope or a narrow squeeze through a gap in a wall.With GameMastery Chase Cards, all of these perils and short cuts are put at your fingertips. By laying a line of these cards down on your table, you can track each character's progress through a path fraught with perils — along with all of the die rolls needed to avoid or navigate these unexpected dangers. These three chases each consist of 17 different cards (representing a total of over a hundred possible perils). Lay out a desperate pursuit through a crowded city, a dangerous race through hostile wilderness, and a nerve-wracking run through deadly ruins and abandoned buildings — or mix and match the cards to create a chase that moves through multiple regions!

Joseph has finally put the past behind him. Life is everything he has ever envisioned. Justice has been meted out, the ones responsible for the crimes against him and the innocent have been made to pay, and he can finally end his life of violence. Then, in one moment, it is gone. Everything he values has been stolen from him by a criminal looking for a quick payday. So what can Joseph do when, after a life of tragedy, he finally finds happiness, and someone rips it all away from him? How can he go after a man, when he has no clue where the perpetrator is and only a vague idea of what he looks like? How does he find the will to survive when his whole world is gone and the only thing he has left is the need to make the guilty pay?The chase is on, and Joseph will have to use every resource available if he's to succeed. But what will he do if he actually catches up with the man he has come to hate more than anything?
The year is 1968. Five-year-old Jeremy Hergenroeder, a minister's kid, sits in a hospital ER three rooms down from his kidnappers, Pilar and Ricardo Gutierrez. They'd snatched him earlier in the day right off the schoolyard during recess. Planning to use Jeremy's mind-reading gift to expand their mob's trucking operations and get a leg up on the competition, the Gutierrez cousins and their boss, Jos , figured they'd need Jeremy's psychiatrist to lend a hand. The Gutierrez gang, the Rican Rangers, stumbled on Jeremy's secret after they beat up Dan Brodie, who'd lied to them to get a mob loan. Dan tried to trade Jeremy for payment-in-full after his wife, Velma, learned of Jeremy's gift as she typed up his psychiatry chart. Velma's boss, Dr. Azriel Rebovitz, found out too late to help Jeremy. At the last possible minute, Hergenroeder family friend, Col. Ed McPherson, dashed the Rangers' plans when he shot Pilar and Ricardo from a nearby rooftop as they arrived to nab Dr. Rebovitz. In this sequel to The Chase is On, Jeremy must use all of his skills to save himself and his family from the marauding Rican Ranger gang. Jeremy's troubles start right there in the hospital and, so, The Chase Continues.

Adventurer Marah Chase can’t resist one last globe-trotting quest to rescue a friend and discover a legendary locale.Marah Chase has everything she wanted. Her academic career is back on track, she’s moved into a Manhattan apartment, and a dream job is waiting at the American Museum of Natural History. So why can’t she seem to stop slipping into her old ways, traveling the world in search of lost relics and buried treasure? Back out in the field, Chase finds the lost Ark of the Covenant, a discovery that could trigger a holy war, as religions and nations argue over ownership of the sacred item. The Ark also brings Chase into conflict with another legendary relic runner, August Nash, a clash the entire underground smuggling community has been waiting for, and not one that will end anytime soon. Upon returning home, Chase is hired by US soda billionaire Lauren Stanford to find the Fountain of Youth. At first, Chase dismisses this idea. But then Stanford tells her that an old friend found some information on the Fountain’s location and is now missing. Chase agrees to take the job—but only to find her friend—and enlists allies along the way on a trail from New York to London, and then on to Glasgow. Behind the myth, they find, lies a much older secret, and now they’re in a race to find the Fountain ahead of Nash and his nefarious cohorts. Whoever gets there first will have control over the future of humanity. Marah Chase and the Fountain of Youth is a tense, exciting, and epic adventure novel, spanning three continents and broadening the world of the Marah Chase series, placing Chase in the unique position to confront questions of identity, faith, imperialism, and appropriation.
