Follow the legendary adventures of two of the Wild West’s most notorious outlaws in this historical biography. Like their partners in crime Frank and Jesse James, the Younger Brothers have been glorified in the lore of the Wild West. Famous for their daring train and bank robberies, and immortalized in the film The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid, the Younger brothers—Cole, James, John, and Bob—came to symbolize the grit and cunning of the nineteenth century frontier. Ride the Razor’s Edge chronicles their adventures while placing them in their wider historical context. From fighting in the Civil War alongside William Quantrill and his band of guerrillas to their famous raid in Lawrence, Kansas, to their first bank robbery in Liberty, Missouri, the Youngers became heroes of the people—and foes of their state. Using family archives, personal letters, and interviews with surviving family, author Carl W. Breihan presents an authoritative and captivating story from their days with the Confederacy to Cole’s and James’s years in a Minnesota prison, and Cole Younger's fight to adapt to life after his pardon.

Riding a motorcycle at speed invites one of life's most profound experiences. Living as it does in that narrow space between danger and exultation, a fast motorcycle represents one of modern life's last anchors to something ancient and timeless. Done well, riding a fast bike on a good road holds the power to put a rider in a state of exalted grace. Jeff Hughes wrote for Sport Rider magazine for eight years and, during that time, described that magic better than nearly anyone else. In this book you will find the complete collection of his stories that appeared there, including such iconic features as Degrees of Control, The Devil on My Shoulder, The Most Honest Place I Know, and the title piece: The Razor's Edge. Part cautionary tale, part joyous recollection, in these 53 stories Hughes puts us on the seat behind him and entertains, edifies, and educates--even as he offers rare insight into the world's finest sport.

THE NEW WORLD SERIES CONTINUES WITH BOOK SIX, THE RAZOR'S EDGE Gordon Van Zandt is a man accustomed to adversity and hardship, but now he is left with dwindling options. With his fledgling republic teetering on the verge of collapse, he must find a way to seize an unlikely victory from what appears to be certain defeat. President Cruz is no stranger to the position he holds, having served in Conner's absence before; however; this time the job is proving to be difficult and downright impossible. The remnants of the United States are being held together by a patchwork of governors and bureaucrats, some using his weakness as a means to enrich themselves. With the war against Cascadia at a standstill, he must make a decision to either negotiate peace or continue the war that has done nothing but damage each side and left his military scattered and weakened. Both men are in precarious positions and riding the razor's edge towards an uncertain future.

All Rachel has to do in convince him that it’s right, that it’s the best thing for both of them, and that it’s about time… Includes an excerpt of Taking the Heat, another Shadow Stalkers novella.

The Mirror dates back to when I was a child, to a time I was suffering with severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is an inspirational book for people who are dealing with issues and trying to cope from the demons of PTSD. The stories you are about read, some are long but never dull. Some of the stories are based on relationship and based around family and friends. Some were written during the time of conflict or war. Poetry is to relax the mind when your mind is filled with all kinds of hate and killing and there is nowhere for things to go and no more bullets left to shoot at the enemy and nowhere do you go from here.

‘Unwillingly, I’ve become part of the story. Questions lie when reconstructing incomplete facts, half-truths, enigmas. What remains is incompletion, interruption. Only the dead know what happened.’ In The Razor’s Edge, Karl Jirgens presents a collection of interlinked fictions that inhabit halfway worlds between past and present, dream and actuality, science and divination. Ordinary daily activities and events lead to unexpected slides into lucid dreams and flirtations with the edge of madness. Drawing on literature and pop culture (from Cinderella and Hamlet to Vladimir Mayakovsky and Anthony Bourdain) as well as the history of twentieth-century genocides (including the Holocaust and the Gulag), these complex, magic realist stories suggest that what seems separate is really interconnected, that the distinction between past, present and future is illusion, and that we might all die of the truth if the truth were truly known.
