Synopsis The Morgans by : William W. Johnstone

A thrilling new Western series from William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone featuring the Last Gunfighter himself, Frank Morgan. WESTERN JUSTICE. JOHNSTONE FURY. In this explosive new series, William W. and J.A. Johnstone bring together two of their greatest legends. The Drifter and the Kid. A gunslinging father and prodigal son, united at last, they are the Morgans. And the only thing thicker than a Morgan’s blood is a Morgan’s bullet… FAMILY FIRST. EVERYBODY ELSE DIES. There’s nothing particularly unusual for a legendary gunman to be summoned to the lawless, bullet-riddled territory of Arizona. But when Frank Morgan, aka the Last Gunfighter, rides into Tucson, he finds himself ambushed and kidnapped by ruthless Mexican bandit Ramirez’s army of thugs. The only way out is for Frank’s son, Conrad Browning, heir to the vast Browning fortune, to ransom his father free. But Conrad isn’t giving up one cent. He’s got a far deadlier currency in mind . . . Conrad heads down to the border and infiltrates the compound. But to prove himself, he has to hold up a train with the rest of the gang. Ramirez catches on to Conrad’s ruse, and the only way out is for Frank to come to the rescue. It’s a wild turn of events for sure, but for the Morgans, when it comes to killing their enemies, it’s all in the family. Live Free. Read Hard.

Synopsis Capital City by : Thomas Kessner

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, New York City was an undistinguished town, competing with Philadelphia and Boston to be America's dominant port city. Just two generations later, it had built itself into the country's powerhouse center of trade and finance, rivaled only by London as financial capital of the world. In Capital City, Thomas Kessner tells the story of this remarkable transformation. With the advantages of its famous harbor and the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, New York became the chief commercial center for the growing nation. As the shipping industry prospered, capital accumulated, and a growing banking center emerged, New York went on to finance the Union cause during the Civil War, open the West to development, and consolidate the national railroad system. The city's energy and opportunity attracted ambitious men from all over the country whose names became synonymous with big business: Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan. New York's banks set the interest rates for the nation, its stock exchange fixed the price of securities, its investors transformed American business from family-owned enterprises into modern corporations, and its growing political clout catapulted public figures, such as Samuel Tilden and Teddy Roosevelt, onto the national stage. Combining political and urban history with a colorful cast of characters, Capital City chronicles how Gotham's Gilded Age reshaped the metropolis and the nation as it molded our present-day economy.

Synopsis The Wild Irish Girl by : Lady Morgan (Sydney)

"I long to study the purely national, purely natural character of an Irishwoman." When Horatio, the son of an English lord, is banished to his father's Irish estate as punishment for his dissipated ways, he goes off in search of adventure. On the wild west coast of Connaught he finds remnants of a romantic Gaelic past--a dilapidated castle, a Catholic priest, a deposed king and the king's lovely daughter Glorvina. In this setting and among these characters Horatio learns the history, culture, and language of a country he had once scorned, but he must do so in disguise, for his own English ancestors are responsible for the ruin of the Gaelic family he comes to love. Written after the Act of Union, The Wild Irish Girl. (1806) is a passionately nationalistic novel and a founding text in the discourse of Irish nationalism. This unique paperback edition includes the 'Introductory Letters' to the novel as well as Owenson's footnotes, rich in detail on the Irish language, history, and legend.

Synopsis Twenty-Seven by : Jolene Polyack

In Book 1, The Hunt, of the Twenty-Seven series fifty-six-year-old treasure hunter Gilbert Morgan discovers an underwater throny plant which restores his body back to that of a twenty-seven-year-old. In Book 2, Discovery, the Morgans have successfully commercialized the plant and now, ten years later are as equally wealthy as their nemisis William S. Bates. The Morgans are surprised when Bates pops back into their lives until they discover his diabolical scheme to ruin mankind. Only the Morgans will be able to stop him. Now in Book 3, William S. Bates, the entire story is retold through the eyes of the antagonist. Find out what drove Bates to be the person he was and what he was thinking throughout his life, adding even more depth to this mind twisting story! I enjoyed reading this book due to its fast paced, interesting story that blended an age-old desire with a modern twist. The book is an easy read with the author conveying not only the story itself, but the characters nuances as well. I recommend this book.
