Summary

In "Jack London's Short Stories: 184 Tales of the Gold Rush, Frozen North, South Seas & Wildlife Adventures (Illustrated)", readers are immersed in a rich tapestry of adventure and the human condition. London's literary style is characterized by vivid imagery, naturalistic detail, and a poignant exploration of survival and the struggle for existence amidst nature's extremes. This collection spans a diverse range of settings, from the treacherous landscapes of the Gold Rush to the harsh winters of the Arctic, and the exotic allure of the South Seas, each tale reflecting London's profound connection to the natural world and the complexities of human desire. Jack London, a seminal figure in American literature, drew heavily from his own experiences as a Gold Rush prospector and a traveler of various cultures. His firsthand encounters with nature's brutality and beauty shaped his narratives, infusing them with authenticity and moral inquiry. London'Äôs ability to intertwine personal history with universal themes of resilience and adventure makes his works timeless, resonating with readers across generations. I highly recommend this illustrated collection to both new and seasoned readers of London'Äôs work. It serves not only as an excellent introduction to his varied storytelling but also as an essential exploration of the primal forces of nature and humanity. The illustrations enhance the experience, making this volume a worthy addition to any literary collection.

    At the Flower House, you’re as likely to find a killer as a chrysanthemum. 
     
    As Aerieville, Tennessee’s Flower House finally gains in popularity, Sierra Ravenswood finds herself feeling ready for new challenges. Luckily, the shop has grabbed the attention of the mayor’s daughter, and bride-to-be, Marissa Lakely.  
     
    Sierra is thrilled, and nervous, to land her most important job yet: providing flowers for the biggest wedding Aerieville has ever seen. 
     
    Fortunately, Marissa bucks all stereotypes and is far from a bridezilla—but her wedding planner, Taz Banyan, has apparently taken on the role for himself. But Taz aside, everything seems to be under control … until Sierra makes a startling  
    discovery in the great room: the wedding planner, lying in a heap at the bottom of the stairs. He survives only long enough to mutter: “It was the snake.” As Granny Mae would say, seeing a snake is rarely a good sign, and this was clearly no exception. 
     
    With the town on edge and the wedding up in the air, Sierra refuses to stop asking questions in her determination to put an end to this latest danger—so both Aerieville and the Flower House can flourish once more.

    Francie Vespertine has lived all her life in a supernatural town full of powerful witches, but her own magic is lackluster at best. The only place she fits in is the Magical Archives. Head librarian (and bookworm extraordinaire) might be a boring job . . . if it wasn't for the ghosts of fictional characters haunting the shelves. 
     
     
     
    Between stopping Captain Ahab from wreaking havoc on aisle three and keeping her fussy feline familiar satisfied (he only eats wild-caught Pacific Salmon, thank you very much), Francie's established a comfortable routine—which is just how she likes it. 
     
     
     
    Until a historian is found dead in the Non-Fiction section and Francie's life goes from cozy to mystery. 
     
     
     
    Half the town saw Francie argue with the man only hours before he was murdered. The Werewolf Law Enforcement Brigade is eager to close the case, and with Francie as the prime suspect, she has to find the real killer or trade her beloved library for a jail cell. 
     
     
     
    She's got a lot on her plate. 
     
     
     
    Fortunately so does Kongressman Kittles. But maybe if Francie keeps his piled high with Lobster Thermidor, then he'll get off his silk pillow and lend a paw . . .

    Information about the first heresy is secreted out of Jerusalem after its fall in AD 70. It reaches the last great pagan philosopher, Hypatia of Alexandria, and is smuggled out of Egypt by her slave-companion on the day of her murder. Centuries later, clues to the First Heresy are revealed in Ireland to a Norman youth and retired Templar Knight. Meanwhile, in Paris, a scholar of Persian descent, and connected to the Knights Templar, is drawn into the events that unfold. The First Heresy is so stunning that it could destroy the foundation of the Roman Church and the secular power-structures of Europe. It sets in motion a medieval hunt across France and Ireland as a small group, led by scholar, is closely pursued by the forces of the French King. They are confronted with the truth about the Christ and the nature of man, while the Order itself is attacked by the Iron King, convinced he is an agent of God.  The First Heresy, the debut novel from financial commentator and TV presenter Eddie Hobbs, combines historical research with fiction and mysticism to create a unique, fast-paced thriller which will have you on the edge of your seat.
