Paperback. Zustand: Good. At the gates between worlds. In a war outside of time. He fights for us. Reclusive college student Jonathan Tibbs wakes in a pool of blood, not a scratch on him. His life is about to undergo a massive shift. A violent and monstrous alien enemy unleashes slaughter in the streets, calling out in a language only he understands. And it is seeking its challenger. In order to defeat the threat, Jonathan must become a temporal weapon, while remaining completely anonymous. Unfortunately, harnessing off-world powers has its own special challenges. The Never Hero is the first installment in The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs -- a mind-bending, genre crossing, action-adventure trilogy. Thought provoking, action packed, psychological and smart. Amazon Reviewer, Sam G - See full review below. I have a feeling I will be mulling over the philosophical ideas presented in this book for a very long time. Interesting, thought provoking, inspiring. Write faster, we need more books that pull on heart strings and keep the reader totally involved. Amazon Reviewer, Laura Lee - See full review below. The Never Hero is a book I wish I hadn't read -- so I could read it for the first time. Hodges has crafted a superb story about a hero who isn't. But he is. Even though he isn't. He has created a literary landscape equal to the task; a story that comes upon you slowly, then grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. I can highly recommend both this title and author. If you enjoy scifi, this will thrill you. If you enjoy being surprised, this will catch you completely off guard. I was upset it was over. I want more Amazon Reviewer, Joe - See full review below. Say Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer got together with Christopher Nolan's Inception and made a baby. Then, M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable got together with Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and made a baby. Then those two babies grew up, eloped and had a love child, who they put up for adoption, and was raised by the surrogate parent's of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky and the Wachowski Brother's Matrix, but had a crazy Uncle they all called The Karate Kid. Then you might get something as awesome as The Never Hero. Amazon Reviewer, Scott Baker - See full review below. I think it's only a matter of time before 'The Never Hero' becomes a Sci-Fi bestseller and a blockbusting movie. The story is more than gripping, it's throat clutching.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From the multi-award-winning, Amazon bestselling author of The Chronicles of Jonathan Tibbs comes a thrilling new fantasy series.'Fantastic-if you liked The Black Tongue Thief, The Name of the Wind, and Kings of the Wyld-YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!' ~Amazon Reviewer, Bryn Anderson ¿¿¿¿¿Renly became the Muse's Champion for inspiration-and she delivers.Shame she didn't mention he'd be too busy staying alive to put it to verse.As a young musician, Renly unwittingly bound himself to the lute of Tetulinok, becoming the reluctant Champion of a Celestial Muse. Acting on her will ended in catastrophe-his sister, Chloe, left scarred beyond recognition, and Renly cast into exile.In the Miers, peace has held since the Spirit Wars-so long as mortals stay within their bounds, and the Faen remain in the Lost Green. Crossing that line isn't just forbidden-it's suicide. But when you serve a Muse, you seldom get what you'd like.Years later, the Muse sends Renly to a town on the edge of civilization to find a mysterious young woman. Shyloh is the mirror image of Chloe-right down to the last freckle, but untouched by the tragedy that shattered their lives.As strangers from both sides of the boundaries begin converging on Shyloh, Renly is pulled into a web of prophecy, divine agendas, and long-buried secrets. Something ancient is stirring. Something dangerous. And Renly might be the one to tip the balance-if it doesn't destroy him first.Redemption. Found family. Ancient gods and reluctant heroes.Bard Hard is fantasy at its finest-layered, immersive, and smart, with a quick-witted narrator you'll love and a world that refuses to let go. Join Renly Teurig as he navigates divine chaos, fractured identities, and the unbearable burden of inspiration. …

VERY SCARCE. ["On the Nature of Things by Roman philosopher and poet Lucretius outlines classical theories of physics and the natural world. Drawing on the atomism theory of Democritus, which dates over 400 years prior to his masterwork, Lucretius aim with his poem is to explain various theories on why the world is as it is. Designed to be read publicly by educators and by solitary readers, the wide ranging and lengthy poem examines the nature of existence, of sensation, of human consciousness, and of the celestial bodies above us. Conversations on matter, space and reality were unusual in ancient times, with many ordinary citizens encouraged to lay the responsibility for such with the Roman Gods. In writing this poem, Lucretius aimed to popularise the theories and explanations of individual physicists and thinkers, over those of the temple priests. Lucretius himself held logic and reason in high regard, championing the philosophers who sought to discover and refine their view of the world."].…

Pro-forma broadside document (approx. 7¾" x 12¾") accomplished in ink. Official state seal and notations on verso: "Writ Head & Amory vs. A.M. Atwell." The Providence Insurance Company was founded in 1799 as the first insurance company in Providence. Its business was exclusively marine insurance, in merchant ships engaged mostly in the coastal, European, West Indies, and China trades. The company merged with the Washington Insurance Company (established 1800) in 1815 to become the Providence Washington Insurance Company, which remains a successful Providence institution. This writ commands the marshall, W. Peck, to summon Amos Maine Atwell (1765-1815), president of the Providence Insurance Co., and John Mason, late president of the company, to answer a complaint lodged by Joseph Head and Jonathan Amory of Boston, merchants trading under the name of Head & Amory. They claimed the recovery of twenty thousand dollars on an insurance policy and said the insurance company had not made good on its promise to pay. W. Peck noted on the verso that he has served the summons. The verso is also signed by David Leonard Barnes, as attorney The case is still cited in contract and corporation law today as "Head & Amory v. The Providence Insurance Company, Cranch II, 127: "An individual, has an original capacity to contract and bind himself in such manner as he pleases. He who acts by another, acts by himself. He who authorizes another to make a writing for him, makes it himself; but with these bodies, which have only a legal existence, it is otherwise. The act of incorporation is to them, an enabling act. It gives them all the power they possess." (See also Roelker & Collins, One Hundred Fifty Years of the Providence Washington Insurance Company, 1799-1949 (Providence, 1949).…
