In November 1922, Lady Eve, the twenty-one-year-old daughter of the Earl of Carnarvon, embarks on an extraordinary journey from her opulent home of Highclere Castle to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Alongside her father and his hired archaeologist, Howard Carter, Eve experiences a breathtaking moment when she glimpses the lavish treasures of King Tutankhamun through a peephole in the inner doorway of an ancient, underground tomb. Amidst the excitement of her adventure, Eve finds herself drawn to the brilliant yet temperamental Carter. But as news of the treasures spreads, the trio faces challenges from peasant laborers, Egyptian nationalists, and combative reporters. When tragedy strikes, Eve becomes embroiled in a dramatic struggle to secure her family's claim to the newfound riches, all while navigating her conflicting feelings for Carter and a suitor from her own social class. To Chase the Glowing Hours is a poignant coming-of-age tale that follows Eve's journey from a sheltered girl to a resilient young woman. This richly-woven narrative explores themes of love, greed, loss, privilege, and self-discovery, set against the alluring and glamorous backdrops of Egypt and England
The Chase is the second of the three-volume continuum entitled The Hunt. Volume 1 was entitled The Search. It recorded my search for historical documents that confirmed the truth about the life of Jesus, as recorded in the four Gospels of the Bible. Volume 2, The Chase, is a record of the application of the documentation found in The Search, to the truth regarding the life of Jesus, as recorded in the four Gospels of the Bible. Volume 3, The Find, will use historical documents found and applied to the life of Jesus to identify and conform his position as Messiah, forgiving Savior and Eternal King.The second volume, The Chase, of the set of three explores the earthly life of Jesus within the context of known Greco-Roman history, customs, philosophies, and manners of the time. Jesus was born into this world during the time of the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus (January 27 bc to August 14 ad). He lived, ministered and was put to death during the reign of Roman emperor Caesar Tiberius (September 14 ad to March 37 ad). Jesus was born into part of the world governed by Herod the Great, a vassal king appointed by the emperor.
Lieutenant Colonel Doug Cray, the leader of a presidential special ops team, hasn't been on vacation in years. Recovering from an assassin's bullet, he decides that taking a cruise down the Amazon River would fulfill his childhood dream of seeing the rainforest and provide a much-needed rest. However, the thin man, who hired the assassin, isn't going to give up on killing him. After learning that Cray is taking an Amazon cruise, he bribes a corrupt Brazilian Army colonel to shoot down the floatplane taking him to the ship. Although that succeeds, and he's presumed dead, the thin man wants a photo of the body as proof. However, the only way to get that is for the Brazilian colonel to send his military death squad into the jungle to get a picture of the corpse or put a bullet into the ex-Army Ranger if he somehow miraculously survived. There's one problem: the coordinates of where the plane went down show it's in the Javari Valley-the most unexplored area on the planet for which no map exists, headhunters roam with abandon, and the dense jungle canopy blocks all communications and navigational data. Unable to contact his special ops team in Washington, who have vowed to leave him alone, believing he's having a great time sucking down drinks and eating gourmet meals on the luxury ship, Cray knows he's living on borrowed time after seeing his badly infected wound and unable to find his way out of the unmapped valley. As if things couldn't get worse, the military squad finally finds him, and the chase ensues. In this latest Matt Moretti-Han Li thriller, Cray must get out of the most hostile jungle on the planet while being chased by an experienced military death squad and battling an infection rapidly spreading through his body.

Visually vivid and tension filled, this is a book you won't want to put down. I loved this book Everyone has that one friend who gets a little crazy... More on Goodreads Read an excerpt The coffee maker in our cabin is broken, so I run up to the lodge and make three perfect cups of drip. The decaf is for me. I haven't touched any sort of mind-altering substance-including caffeine, which is in practically everything-for the past 365 days. The Ethiopian Dark Roast is for Isabelle and Kimmy. "Smells strong. And expensive," says Martha, the gray-haired owner of the lodge, as she hands me a cardboard tray. Her hands are rough and gnarled with swollen joints. Mine are embarrassingly smooth and white, even after scrubbing endless toilets in rehab. "Yeah, but we'll need it today," I say, carefully placing the cups into their holders. I cannot screw this up. "Good luck, honey, and look out for yourself. Lots of people go into that forest. Not all of them come out." Martha waves without smiling as I make my way out the door. Isabelle and Kimmy are standing across the parking lot, next to our rented Jeep. Isabelle is the tall, bird-boned, awkward one. Long red ponytails hang beneath her brown knit cap. Kimmy is the sporty one, the slim-hipped blond in no-bullshit compression tights with a red stripe along the sides. Both are my best friends in the world, closer to me than any family. They know me to my dark, rotten core. A year ago today, they saw me at my worst. I treated them with unspeakable cruelty, and they didn't just forgive me, they saved my life...
