After more than one hundred and forty years, Alexander Smith is suffering from memory loss that plagues him like a supernatural Alzheimer's. He has lasted longer than most by clinging to the love he has for his adopted daughter, the vampire Ana, and puzzling out cases of missing or murdered children. Without them, he wouldn't be able to ignore the ghost of a child from his guilty past or fight the whispers goading him to kill. On his latest job, he's stumbled upon a vampire conspiracy that has left a trail of child murders up and down the East Coast-a conspiracy that promises inoculation against the sun. If true, the conspirators' success would mean a bloody conflict, altering the balance between humans and the supernatural forever. Losing more of his mind every day, Alexander has two impossible tasks ahead of him if the world is to survive: stop the vampire coven and reconnect with his humanity.

Working as a code breaker for U.S. Army Intelligence in the Pacific during World War II, the vampire Desidra unwisely falls in love with a Japanese mortal and faces a choice between her loyalty and her love. Original.

In Black Sun, Blood Moon, author Doug Woodward provides provocative and fresh insights in many other areas of unfolding prophecy: " The world 's fascination with the year 2012 and its link to the apocalypse of the Bible. " Forecasts for natural disasters, solar storms, hurricanes, tsunamis, and cataclysmic earthquakes such as hit Japan in March, 2011. " The possibility that Christians can escape the massive cataclysms determined for the period of time the Bible calls, The Great Tribulation: - Comets that threaten to strike earth with deadly force; - Cauldrons like Yellowstone Park which could explode, sending mountains of volcanic ash into the atmosphere, and - Plagues unleashed through bio-terrorism or genetic tampering. " Date-setting efforts attempting to predict the timing of these events. " What the Bible teaches about the nature of the world 's creation and its implications for the new world to come. " How doomsday speaks to humanity 's quest for meaning. " The biblical depictions of the world AFTER Armageddon. " The nature of immortality and the Bible 's teaching regarding the afterlife. " And much more.To be perfectly clear: Woodward 's book isn 't a litany of gloomy facts. At the core of almost every topic is a premise of hope, both for today and the future. That 's why readers will not only learn a great number of new things on the topics Woodward tackles (the reading light will burn late into the night), they will be encouraged for having done so. Indeed, the structure of the book lends itself to contemplative consideration of the material and even small group discussion. It is a most unusual volume.

An original novel based on the critically acclaimed hit CBS series CSI: New York, by one of the most impressive crime writers of the twentieth century. Detective Mac Taylor is a dedicated crime scene investigator who believes that everything is connected and everyone has a story. He and Detective Stella Bonasera lead a team of crack forensic experts through the gritty and kinetic world of New York City as they piece together clues and eliminate doubt to ultimately crack their cases. A modest home in a suburban Queens neighborhood is the unlikely site of a grisly crime scene: a married couple and their daughter are found brutally murdered. Missing from the scene is the couple’s young son, and Mac Taylor and Danny Messer soon uncover signs of a possible kidnapping. Can they find him before it’s too late? In a heavily Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, the body of a devoutly religious man is found ritually displayed on the floor of his synagogue. Stella Bonasera and Aiden Burn initially suspect a fringe fundamentalist group that has had run-ins with the victim’s congregation, but the group is led by a charismatic and antagonistic man who does everything he can to stonewall the team’s investigation. Two very different crimes, with one thing in common: CSI investigators who won’t stop until they uncover the truth.
