Synopsis Evolving Crane: Book Four | The Nappassian by : Dave Welch

He's like Galactus, but he can fit in your house... A descendant overdosing on coke may have been the worst thing to befall the king of Nappassiss. But when he is teleported to Earth, all hell breaks loose. First, a being rises from the grave. Then, a live video stuns the Layo galaxy. After the Triple Beam massacre, a small group of survivors arise. In their quest for justice, they turn to a woman so powerful, that she could single handedly end the whole war. The only problem is, she could care less... But as the Xaris claim the stars, the King of Nappassiss falls in love with Earth. This affair thwarts the automaton's schemes, placing life as we know it at stake. Can the Xaris and the slug Familia put their differences aside, before the king eats the earth bare? Evolving Crane book four pushes the barrier. This read is full action, gore, horror, humor, and strong emotion. Perfect for those who enjoy Dean Koontz- Elsewhere and Wesley Chu- The art of Prophecy.

Synopsis Americans in the Treasure House by : Jason Ruiz

"This book examines travel to Mexico during the Porfiriato (the long dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz 1876-1911), focusing especially on the role of travelers in shaping ideas of Mexico as a logical place for Americans to extend their economic and cultural influence in the hemisphere. Overland travel between the United States and Mexico became instantly faster, smoother, and cheaper when workers connected the two countries' rail lines in 1884, creating intense curiosity in the United States about Mexico, its people, and its opportunities for business and pleasure. As a result, so many Americans began to travel south of the border during the Porfiriato that observers from both sides of the border began to quip that the visiting hordes of tourists and business speculators constituted a "foreign invasion," a phrase laced with irony given that it appeared at the height of public debate in the United States about the nation's imperial future. These travelers created a rich and varied record of their journeys, constructing Mexico as a nation at the cusp of modernity but requiring foreign intervention to reach its full potential"--

Synopsis On the Wallaby through Victoria by : E. M. Clowes

This is not supposed to be a national or political history of Victoria. When I was asked to write something about the country which has extended its hospitality to me, and given me bread and cheese—sometimes no cheese, it is true, and more often than not no butter, but still always bread, and an ever-increasing appetite—I must confess I felt frankly scared. There is a very good, if somewhat vulgar, expression in use out here, which speaks of anyone who attempts what is beyond them as "biting off more than they can chew." And the thought frightened me. There seemed to be so many people who had lived all their life in the country, and were therefore much more capable of writing about it than I could ever possibly hope to be. However, I found that other "fools rushed in," who had been here for even a shorter period than myself; who had never participated in any way in the true life of the country, or depended on it for their own life, which after all teaches one more than anything else ever can about a place. I may not be an p. vi"angel," I thought, still I know it, which is one point in my favour; and, after all, eight years can scarcely be described as a "rush." Besides, every proverb and popular saying seems to be balanced by another which is completely contradictory—and while it may be true that "fools rush in where angels fear to tread," it is also true "that lookers-on see most of the game," and perhaps score somewhat in the freshness of their impressions and in their facilities for comparison. As it is I can only write about Victoria as I know it. There are many mistakes that I may have made through my inability to see all sides of a question; but they are at least honest mistakes, and not the deliberate misstatement of facts, from which Australia has so often suffered.
