"With Morning Comes Mistfall" was the first story by George R. R. Martin to be nominated for the Hugo and Nebula Awards. It was one of two stories, along with "The Second Kind of Loneliness" that Martin believed would make or break his career as a writer. In "With Morning Comes Mistfall" Martin presents a thematic conundrum: Is a mystery sometimes more useful than the truth? The story takes place on Wraithworld, a barely habitable planet with unusual weather conditions. Each morning in a wonderful phenomenon, the mist comes down from the mountains, revealing the beauty of the planet. This phenomenon is called Mistfall. The planet is home to only a few people, primarily because it is believed that its mist-covered valleys are occupied by "wraiths", creatures that are claimed to have killed a number of humans. The mystery of the wraiths is also the main thing that attract visitors to the place. The only establishment on the planet is Castle Cloud, a hotel mounted on top of one of the mountains. The hotel is visited by wraith hunters, people looking for a thrill. The story tells of an expedition which sets out to find proof of the wraiths' existence, or establish that they are nothing more than a myth. The owner of Castle Cloud fears either answer, as he does not want the mystery of the wraiths to be uncovered. The main theme of the story is a clash between two views of the world, one very logical, pragmatic, physical, and the other one romantic and spiritual. It shows that not all mysteries need to be uncovered, not all secrets revealed, that unknown is not always bad, that it keeps people searching, asking questions, coming back. What is known for certain, is often taken for granted and then loses attraction. Jack Gaughan; John Schoenherr; Kelly Freas; Leo Summers; Gray Morrow (illustrator).…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The letter arrived shortly after the death of Jebidiah James Carpenter II's parents in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Penned by Jeb's father in 1999, the letter reveals the existence of the Carpenter Family Secret Resolution and the existence of hidden wealth in the Carpenter home in North Carolina. Enrolled in the military academy, Jeb has just become the seventh Keeper of the family. That legacy began in 1825 when Jebidiah James Carpenter, JJ to his friends and family, conceived the Carpenter Family Secret Resolution. He was a respected US Army officer, a Confederate officer, and a successful businessman. The resolution set a specific course for his descendants and was designed to protect the family's heritage and its wealth. The Carpenter family wealth allows Jeb to serve his country through his involvement with the CIA and military intelligence, protecting the American way, though at considerable risk to himself and more than average risk to his loved ones. Providing a snapshot of a dark time in the nation's history, Carpenter House presents a fictional story of love, espionage, and one family's remarkable legacy.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - As professor of religion and chairman of the department at Baylor University for many years, Ray Summers influenced the lives of more than one generation of students, many of whom are now teachers, ministers, and missionaries. Before coming to Baylor in 1964, Summers taught first at Southwestern and Southern Baptist Theological Seminaries. This volume is in grateful memory of and in fitting tribute to Ray Summers. This is, however, more than just another Festschrift. The many lifelong concerns of Ray Summers -- it is here evident -- also have become the concerns of his students. But these matters are also of concern to others. So, the student of the New Testament, especially of the Gospels, and of liberty of conscience, civil religion, warfare, and even the current so-called fundamentalist resurgence, will find much of stimulating interest in these wide-ranging yet substantial pages. Essays include New Evidence regarding Early Christian Chronology, Reconstructing New Testament History: Ritschl Reconsidered, Josephus Reexamined: Unveiling the Twenty-second Year of Tiberius, Oliver Cromwell and Liberty of Conscience, Thoughts on a Civil Religion Solution to Religious Clause juris prudence, and The Infancy Narratives as Texts of Terror, Verbal and Visual. Contributors include Jack Finegan, Russell Dilday, Henry Jackson Flanders, James Leo Garrett, Robert L. Hamblin, Jack V. Scarola, David W. Beyer, E. W. Faulstich, Nikos Kokkinos, Robert W. Smith, H. Alan Brehm, Paul L. Maier, Mark Kiley, James Vardaman, Derek H. Davis, William L. Hendricks, Robert E. Wolverton, Herbert Reynolds, and Jerry Vardaman.…
