The Invidia Of Jack

Deep in the heart of Eastshire there is a valley. Whatever name might be given to it in the proper geographies, it is know to most, if not all, of the people of the Shire as “The Dark Valley.” This Dark Valley is located in the most remote district of Eastshire. It is sparsely populated. Indeed the population consists of but a handful of families. These families have lived apart from the other people of Eastshire for uncounted generations. The same isolation holds for the cats who live there. And it is the cats — and one special cat — of the Dark Valley that constitute the very heart of this story. This particular cat proves to be The Invidia of Jack of Tabbyshire. To the ancients — the Greeks and Romans — the Invidia held a special place, somewhat akin to the better-known Nemesis. But, where the Nemesis is the agent of the gods in fighting Hubris and enforcing Justice, Invidia embodies the Envy and Jealousy that evidences itself in a “dog in the manger” or “what is yours should have been mine” attitude and life style. And Jack does have his Invidia. In this tale he will encounter his Invidia. How will he counter his Invidia? Can he? Or, will he need some help — help from an unexpected source? This tale recounts this final mission of our Lord Jack of Tabbyshire.

After stopping the General and his team of vigilantes, expanding the Elements team and almost losing his first love, will the Big Apple really offer Reagan Jameson a chance to relax when their lives are put in jeopardy? Having received a call from the United Nations, inviting them to New York City to discuss broadening their protection detail, the Elements must decide if they are in a position to do so. With their relationships being tested continually, two team members will inevitably walk out on their friends, team members and the Elements, not before a terrorist boards their plane. For Reagan, however, explosive friends and suicide bombers are just a few things playing on his mind. Still reeling from his stint with Mackenna Pierce, that effectively put his relationship in jeopardy, he learns his true parentage, what Crystallic had in store all along and the discovery of a long lost Jameson, whilst keeping up appearances for the media. The pace of The Elements Series is increased exponentially in this installment of Deadliest Sin, whereby the Elements' lives will be put at risk within the first ten pages. Each character will be pushed beyond their limits and explored in more detail, to better understand why we love or hate them so much. Deadliest Sin will offer more twists than Green Hope and Spirited Vigilante combined, to prepare you for the greatest shock of all - the true identity of the Jameson twins' parents.

C. S. Lewis spent a good portion of each day corresponding with people via handwritten letters. Over his lifetime he wrote thousands of letters in which he offered his friends and acquaintances advice on the Christian life, giving away a bit of himself to each of these correspondents as he signed his notes with a heartfelt and familiar, "yours, Jack." Most of these letters are currently only available in their entirety—a collection consisting of three hefty tomes. Yours, Jack features the best inspirational readings and sage counsel culled from C. S. Lewis's letters, offering an accessible look at this great author's personal vision for the spiritual life. This thematic selection from his letters offers the freshest presentation of Lewis's writings since his death in 1963. Yours, Jack will showcase Lewis's remarkable teachings and vision for a new generation.
