Who is Alex Carruthers? That is the question Wicked fans have been asking for nearly six years. Spellbound, the fourth and seemingly final book in the Wicked series, originally published in 2003, left readers on the edge of their seats with a classic cliffhanger ending. But now, as new fans of the bind-up editions of the series begin to ask the same question, the true and final conclusion to the Wicked series will emerge. And all their questions will be answered in this heart-stopping, magical adventure about witches, destiny, and the beyond.
What the Cahors witches thought was the end of their troubles turns out to be only the beginning. A threat more powerful and more frightening than anything they have faced before has been watching and waiting. Holly and the Cahors witches must come together and find Jer and Eli as both the Deveraux and the Cahors family lines face eradication. All the secrets of the Cahors will be revealed, forcing them to overcome their greatest weaknesses in order to achieve their most powerful strengths. Only united do they have any chance at victory, but before the end, sacrifices will be made, alliances forged, and old friends lost forever.
This book provides a theoretical and observational overview of the state of the art of gamma-ray astrophysics, and their impact and connection with the physics of cosmic rays and neutrinos. With the aim of shedding new and fresh light on the problem of the nature of the gamma-ray sources, particularly those yet unidentified, this book summarizes contributions to a workshop that continues today.
In the last thirty years, gamma-ray bursts have grown from an oddity to a central position in astrophysics. Not only are they the largest explosions since the big bang, capable of flooding most of the universe with gamma-rays, but their brilliance serves as a backlight that can illuminate the cosmos far deeper into the early universe than any other object. Their unpredictability has forced researchers to use extreme measures to observe them: completely autonomous satellites and robotic ground-based telescopes. Their bizarre physical properties have pushed us to develop new theories of astrophysical explosions. Topics include: global properties of GRBs; X-ray flashes; ultra-high energy gamma-rays, neutrinos, gravity waves; prompt emission and early afterglows; relativistic jets and polarization; GRB030329; GRB progenitors; GRB connection to supernovae; dark versus bright GRBs; late afterglows; GRBs and cosmology; general observations; general theory; analysis and observation techniques; present satellites; Swift satellite; future satellites; and robotic observing systems.

The true story of a Tennessee plow girl who survived poverty, abuse, and eleven husbands with wit, wisdom, and tenacity.
"A novel about a journalist in pursuit of a story about a child who survived a cult mass suicide, which may not be all that it appeared to be, told in Janice Hallett's signature original and innovative style of emails, messages, news clips, and screenplay excerpts"--
Paul Mitchell and Matthew Pierce used to work for the United Federation for Defense of America, a government agency based in Washington, DC. They happen to come across a government cover-up involving the attack on the Twin Towers back in 2001. When a string of mysterious deaths and disappearances happen across the country, they meet again in Lower Manhattan to launch their own investigation. During their quest to discover the truth, they receive an anonymous folder from another whistle-blower who wants to remain hidden in the shadows. Paul calls in Amanda Knox, a former intelligence officer to assist with their probe. They plan to send the information to the president of the United States, Michael Atlas, but he might not take them seriously as his own career is on the line. As their probe progresses, Paul and Amanda take a romantic interest in each other as the walls start to slowly close in around them. Will they expose what no one else could, or will they become the government's next victims?
The secret of time travel has finally been discovered. Through a series of extraordinary events, Matt Collins, a 21st century man, is given the opportunity to visit 1896 for a short time. His goal: to locate and bring home the son of a friend, who has vanished while conducting research in that era. While there, he meets the girl of his dreams-but the dream soon turns into a nightmare when he discovers she is destined to die soon. To attempt to change the past and save her could alter his own future-or destroy it. To let her die is unthinkable. As the time draws near for his final chance to return to the 21st century, Matt must make some difficult decisions that could mean life or death for some of those around him. Can his rescue mission succeed? Can he protect his new-found love without altering his own future? And can he get back to his own time or will he be trapped in the past forever? Time is running out, both for the woman he loves and for his return to the present.
