In the fall of 1978, on the 640-acre family deer-hunting ranch on Goat Mountain in Northern California, a couple hours north of Clear Lake on a four-wheel-drive road, an eleven-year-old boy goes hunting with three men: his father, grandfather, and a friend of his father's. Goat Mountain is a dry place of live oak and buck brush and poison oak with occasional relief from stands of ponderosa pine, white pine, and sugar pine, and even a swampy bear wallow. This is the place where all the family's memories and stories and history are held. When the men arrive at the gate to their land, the father spots a poacher hunting illegally on his property. When he lets his eleven-year-old son take a look through the scope of his rifle, the boy pulls the trigger. The men struggle over what to do with the dead man. Though the struggle begins between the father and grandfather, it ultimately becomes a struggle between the grandfather and the boy. By the end, nothing is as it seems. An exploration of our most primal urges, what rules hold us together, and what we owe for what we've done, Goat Mountain is a compulsive read.Ver livro

I hope you enjoy them.Ver livro
Colonel Reed Raven is a field operative with the North American Joint Combat Force, one of the few outposts of civilization remaining in the fragmented world of 2180. When they discover the superstitious townsfolk of Rome have unearthed a highly dangerous doomsday weapon from the previous century and are now worshiping it as a pagan idol, Raven is sent on an urgent mission to disarm it. To hide his ignorance of local customs, Raven goes in the guise of a rough barbarian from the even less civilized lands of northern Europe, a role his super-powerful physique makes him ideal for. But the mission won't be an easy one, and he's lucky to encounter a handsome young priest named Taliaris who has valuable knowledge -- not to mention psychic skills -- that Raven lacks. Together, Raven and Taliaris set out to save the world ... and fall in love with each other into the bargain.Ver livro
