Lady of Hay
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Erskine, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Harper, "Two Women, Eight Hundred Years, and the Destiny They Share" "Barbara Erskine can make us feel the cold, smell the filth, and experience some of the fear of the power of evil men...The author's storytelling talent is undeniable." "-Times of London" With a story as mesmerizing as it is chilling, "Lady of Hay "explores how Jo, a journalist investigating hypnotic regression, plunges into the life of Matilda, Lady of Hay-who lived eight hundred years earlier. As she learns of Matilda's unhappy marriage, her troubled love for Richard de Clare, and the brutal treatment she received from King John, it seems that Jo's past and present are hopelessly entwined. Centuries later, a story of secret passion and unspeakable treachery is about to begin again-and she has no choice but to brave both lives if she wants to shake the iron grip of history. "So well researched and so well written that it is almost impossible to put down. The novel has everything that readers of racy fiction could ask for: beautiful characters, exotic settings, and passion...situations and characters that are so completely convincing that they come to life." "-Philadelphia Inquirer" "Told with hair-raising intensity, this is a gripping tale." "-Daily News" "Barbara Erskine is a superb storyteller." "-Los Angeles Daily News" "Fascinating, absorbing, original-all such praise comes easily when describing Barbara Erskine's "Lady of Hay." But perhaps the most suitable word is hypnotic."

Odd Apocalypse: An Odd Thomas Novel
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Koontz, Dean R., PUBLISHER: Bantam, "The stallion reared over me, silently slashing the air with the hooves of its forelegs, a creature of such immense power that I stumbled backward even though I knew that it was as immaterial as a dream...." " " The woman astride the ghostly mount reaches out desperately, the latest spirit to enlist the aid of Odd Thomas, the unassuming young fry cook whose gift--or curse--it is to see the shades of the restless dead, and to help them when he can. This mission of mercy will lead Odd through realms of darkness he has never before encountered, as he probes the long-held secrets of a sinister estate and those who inhabit it. ODD APOCALYPSE Once presided over by a flamboyant Hollywood mogul during the Roaring '20s, the magnificent West Coast property known as Roseland is now home to a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants. And, at least for the moment, it's also a port in the storm for Odd Thomas and his traveling companion, the inscrutably charming Annamaria, the Lady of the Bell. In the wake of Odd's most recent clash with lethal adversaries, the opulent manor's comforts should be welcome. But there's far more to Roseland than meets even the extraordinary eye of Odd, who soon suspects it may be more hell than haven. A harrowing taste of Roseland's terrors convinces Odd that it's time to hit the road again. Still, the prescient Annamaria insists that they've been led there for a reason, and he's promised to do his best for the ghost on horseback. Just how deep and dreadful are the mysteries Roseland and her masters have kept for nearly a century? And what consequences await whoever is brave, or mad, enough to confront the most profound breed of evil? Odd only knows. Like his acclaimed creator, the irresistible Odd Thomas is in top-notch form--as he takes on what may well be the most terrifying challenge yet in his curious career. "This is Koontz working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love."--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review), on "Odd Thomas" " " "Supernatural thrills with a side of laughs.""--The Denver Post, " on "Brother Odd" " " "The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is Koontz's most likable creation... candid, upright, amusing and sometimes withering.""--The New York Times"

In her gripping new novel, the author of "The Last Kashmiri Rose and "Ragtime in Simla transports us to the remote and exotic setting of India's North-West Frontier, where a group of travelers is swept into a spellbinding drama of kidnapping, vengeance, and murder. Scotland Yard Detective Joe Sandilands has been given the unenviable mission of guarding a spirited young American woman with far more wealth than sense. Lily Coblenz, accompanied by a cunning businessman, a woman doctor, and two quarreling military strategists, expects the adventure of a lifetime when she arrives at a remote British outpost. But when the son of a Pathan tribal leader is discovered dead, Sandilands, a decorated war veteran, knows that his mission to protect Lily has suddenly taken a startling new turn that may bring them all to the brink of war. Now, from the far reaches of an empire, Joe Sandilands must separate lies from truths, innocents from killers--and find the one person with a desperate motive for murder and the key to India's destiny. Praise for the Novels of Barbara Cleverly "THE DAMASCENED BLADE "This marvelous historical delivers." --"Publishers Weekly RAGTIME IN SIMLA "Captivating and enchanting. Attractive, magnetic, duplicitous women grab all the best roles in "Ragtime in Simla. Between the natural beauty ofthe setting and the seductiveness of the women, it's a wonder that Joe Sandilands gets out of Simla with heart and mind intact." "--New York Times Book Review ""Ragtime in Simla contains enough scenes of smashing action in and around the marvelously invoked Simla to delight even Rudyard Kipling." "--Chicago Tribune "Ms. Cleverly deftly transports readers to an exotic locale filled with intrigue, suspense, and characters skilled in the art of deception. This is a perfect travel companion for historical mystery fans." "--Booklist "Fully developed characters and a convincing portrayal of time and place lift Cleverly's second historical....

The Ender Quartet Set: Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Card, Orson Scott, PUBLISHER: Tor Books, This boxed set contains "Ender's Game," "Speaker for the Dead," "Xenocide," and "Children of the Mind." "Ender's Game" Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. "Speaker for the Dead" In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War. Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered, but again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery...and the truth. "Xenocide" The war for survival of the planet Lusitania will be fought in the hearts of a child named Gloriously Bright. On Lusitania, Ender found a world where humans and Pequeninos and the Hive Queen could all live together; where three very different intelligent species could find common ground at last. Or so he thought. Lusitania also harbors the descolada, a virus that kills all humans it infects, but which the Pequeninos require in order to become adults. The Starways Congress so fears the effects of the descolada, should it escape from Lusitania, that they have ordered the destruction of the entire planet, and all who live there. The Fleet is on its way, a second xenocide seems inevitable. "Children of the Mind" The planet Lusitania is home to three sentient species: the Pequeninos; a larg

Boss gx700 guitar effect
Multieffetto rack per chitarra / preamp boss gx700 racchiude in un unico rack tutti gli effetti della serie boss molto caldo e versatile prezzo 200 euro trattabili scheda tecnica boss gx700 guitar effects processor/preamp published in sos june printer-friendly version • noise gate: with user control of threshold setting. • compressor: with variable attack and release characteristics, plus control over sustain and tone. in common with all the other effects blocks, this also has a level parameter. • wah: this classic effect is familiar to guitarists everywhere, and can be recreated quite convincingly with the gx700, either under lfo or pedal control. the resonance of the wah effect can be varied, as can the frequency range over which the effect sweeps. • distortion: i suspect this section is based around the concepts used in the boss analogue pedals. the choices available include vintage od, turbo od, blues, distortion, turbo distortion, metal and fuzz. in addition to an adjustable drive level, the distortion settings also have a basic 2-band bass/treble equaliser. • preamp: this is where cosm modelling comes into play, because here you can select from several amplifier characteristics, including jc120, clean twin, match drive, big lead, ms (i), ms (ii), ms (i+ii), sldn lead and metal . the available controls include the usual bass, middle, treble and presence, as well as the volume/master volume method of setting the amount of amp distortion, and a 'bright' switch. a gain parameter is also included, which affects the distortion amount. • loop: this isn't an effect at all, but rather a means of switching in an external effect or processor. the loop function connects via the rear panel jacks, and has adjustments for both send and return levels, which is a sensible inclusion. • 3-band eq: despite the fact that the overdrive section and the preamplifier both have tone controls, there's also a 3-band equaliser with a fully parametric mid section. • speaker simulator: this again offers several choices: small, middle, jc-120, built-in 1-4, big stack 1-2, ms stack 1-2 and metal stack. there are also three possible virtual mic settings, for close miking and more distant miking, and separate level controls are provided for the mic level and the direct level. • noise suppressor: this comes at the end of the amplifier chain, but before the effects. however, because the effects can be connected in any order, it can be used elsewhere if you have a reason for doing so. personally, i'd be inclined to use it after the modulation effects (for anything that doesn't involve level modulation, such as panning or vibrato), but before any delay or reverb effects. as far as the user parameters go, these are really down to threshold and release time, though you can also choose to key the gate from either the noise reduction block's own input or from the guitar input jack.
