Unicorns Don T Wear Shoes Ridgecrest Rescue

When Wes Wilson discovers a body in at the barn where he boards his quarter horse, he faces unexpected accusation from the chief deputy. Wes postpones his dreams—of competing with his stallion in cutting horse shows and of dating Cathy McLeod. He helps rescue Mrs. Magers’ lost pony from the slaughterhouse. Young Susan screams in horror as foreman Sutherland kills the stable cat’s kittens, so Wilson wades in. He hopes as principal to expand his high school’s programs against opposition from his vindictive superintendent. With his teacher accused of kidnapping, Wes figures out the hiding place. Meanwhile, he learns the murder victim is not Mexican but Syrian and in the U.S. with two others on the Homeland Security watch list. The terrorists move in for an explosive ending. Hogan's mystery forces Rod Mannering, a decent guy, to outwit a murderer and a scam artist. Finding his friend's body at a horse show pits Rod against a killer. A developer's lawsuit threatens financial ruin. With physical and monetary problems, Rod won't romance the attractive Texas rider, Taylor Blair, but together, despite vicious threats, they unearth the real estate scam. The Highway Patrol finds Rod's daughter's car abandoned like vehicles of women killed recently, and he forgets all else. With Taylor, he heads into a storm to find Belinda. A trip wire catapults him over the cliff. Battered, hanging onto a narrow ledge, he insists Taylor climb the ridge crest to rescue Belinda. Fears and hopes attack his mind throughout his painful wait. Readers identify with a man struggling through a physical and emotional comeback and a woman regaining control of her life in a backdrop of Arabian horse shows.

Tales from the Time Loop is the most comprehensive book yet written about the global conspiracy that emerges more clearly every day. David Icke has been warning for well over a decade of the plan for a world fascist state, a global version of Nazi Germany, in which the people will be prisoners of a Big Brother dictatorship founded on the suppression of the most fundamental freedoms and total control and surveillance. Today there is a gathering awareness that he was right. People are realising that Big Brother is no longer "coming." He's here.

The author of Gold Rush Stories shares tales of the larger-than-life characters from the history of the legendary Sierra Nevada mountain range. With its 14,000-foot granite mountains, crystalline lakes, conifer forests, and hidden valleys, the Sierra Nevada has long been the domain of dreams, attracting the heroic and the delusional, the best of humanity and the worst. Stories abound, and characters emerge so outlandish and outrageous that they must be real. Could the human imagination have invented someone like Eliza Gilbert? Born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1818, she transformed herself into Lola Montez, born in Seville, Spain, in 1823, and brought to the Gold Country the provocative “Spider Dance”—impersonating a young woman repelling a legion of angry spiders under her petticoats. Or Otto Esche, who in 1860 imported fifteen two-humped Bactrian camels from Asia to transport goods to the mines. Or the artist Albert Bierstadt, whose paintings Mark Twain characterized as having “more the atmosphere of Kingdom-Come than of California.” Or multimillionaire George Whittell Jr., who was frequently spotted driving around Lake Tahoe in a luxurious convertible with his pet lion in the front seat. These, and scores more, spill out of the pages of this well-illustrated and lively tribute to the Sierra by a native son.

Here in his first non-Shannara novel, Terry Brooks has written a gripping story of mystery, magic, and adventure—sure to delight fantasy readers everywhere. Landover was a genuine magic kingdom, with fairy folk and wizardry, just as the advertisement has promised. But after he purchased it, Ben Holiday learned that there were a few details the ad had failed to mention. The kingdom was in ruin. The Barons refused to recognize a king, and the peasants were without hope. A dragon was laying waste the countryside, while an evil witch plotted to destroy everything. Ben's only followers were the incompetent Court Magician; Abernathy, the talking dog who served as Court Scribe; and the lovely Willow—but she had a habit of putting down roots in the moonlight and turning into a tree. The Paladin, legendary champion of the Kings of Landover, seemed to be only a myth and an empty suit of armor. To put the final touch on the whole affair, Ben soon learned that the Iron Mark, terrible lord of the demons, had challenged all prospective Kings of Landover to duel to the death—a duel which no human could hope to win. The task of proving his right to be King seemed hopeless. But Ben Holiday was stubborn. . . .
