There is an age-old myth about the Himalayas being home to a ferocious beast called the yeti or the abominable snowman. Are the legends true or just a product of human imagination? After the death of their parents in a car accident, Zaraveeh and her elder sister (mimi) Mavih leave Itanagar to stay with their Aunt Lobsang in the picturesque town of Tawang, a place of inhospitable winters but generous and warm-hearted people. In Tawang, Zaraveeh leads a happy childhood with her sister (who has stopped speaking after the accident) under the care of her aunt. But as life would have it, when their aunt dies of cancer, she finds herself lost in a dark pit of helplessness and depression. On a hunch that climbing hills and mountains could be her calling, she makes an attempt to climb Yarchin, a peak she can see from her home, and which has fascinated her from when she was a child. As Zaraveeh tried to make a difficult descent, a miscalculation leads her to slip and fall. When she regains consciousness, she finds herself staring into the lion-like amber eyes of a strange creature, and now she is terrified that her life is over and that the beast will in all probability kill her. What happens to Zaraveeh? Will the creature kill her? Or by a miracle, will she be able to escape?

BEYOND THE INTELLECT: Western culture exalts the function and importance of the intellect. Modern man reacts to the problems generated by a society increasingly complex by trying to refine and develop our intellectual tools to gain the answers. Knowledge gained via the intellect can only be of the external or not-self. For answers pertaining to the internal or one-Self, we must go beyond the intellect! This masterly written book is likely one of Dr. Baker's most valuable gifts to all those seeking contact with their Soul or Higher Self. This major work is to facilitate step-by-step unfoldment from individuality to group awareness, from unconscious activity to conscious cooperation with your Higher Self and its purpose for you, the personality. In today's language, aided by much personal experience and education, Dr. Baker explains the most abstruse esoteric subjects with a fantastic clarity that everybody will benefit from! He leads us beyond the intellect into the world of archetypes, myths, and the meaning of intuition. Detailed instructions are given on methods to establish a dialogue with the Self through which we can approach the Fifth Kingdom, that of the Soul, located beyond the intellect. Seventy-five images, charts and drawings, many in color, will aid your understanding of this vast subject. Foreword/Introduction is given by Count D'Angerville.

King Bwene of the Baradi faces a stark dilemma. A plague is devastating his people, and the only possibility of salvation is relocating his kingdom from the lowlands to a place where the disease doesn't flourish. But when he attacks the ape-men of the plateau, suddenly the hordes of semi-humans come boiling down from the heights, overrunning his land with their superior strength and numbers. He sends emissaries to the Ho-Tus, another race of humans on the other side of the plateau, to seek their help, but they kill anyone unrelated to them. As the days grow ever darker and the prospects of his people's survival diminish, Bwene must deal with a murderous Queen, treachery within his own ranks -- and a beautiful refugee from the Ho-Tus! Another classic fantasy by a master of the genre.

What the Wild West was for America in the 19th century, Outremer - Beyond the Sea - was to Europe in the 12th: the wild east, land of opportunity, of warlike adventure, and of terror. The Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted from 1100 to 1187. In that time European noblemen and women came here to do penance in war against the "infidels", to escape the law in their homeland, mostly to seek their fortune. Among the immigrants were also paupers. Niall, a young fugitive from England, was one of those. Our story tells of his rise from destitution to nobility: a major baron in the Kingdom. Niall's sons, Guillaume and Enguerrand, carry the story to its end through rivalry to reconciliation on the eve of the fateful Battle of Hattin, against turmoil, war and intrigue in the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Excerpt: ... endless battles, its terrible slaughter, and the doubt of what was to come after. Harley claimed his attention, for he could not bear to be ignored. Moreover, he was wounded, and with all due deference to his sister, the visit was to him. "Does either army mean to move?" he asked. "I think so; I came to tell you about it," replied Prescott. Harley at once was full of eagerness. This touched him on his strongest side. He was a warrior by instinct, and his interest in the affairs of the army could never be languid. "Why, what news have you?" he asked quickly. "Grant has come!" He uttered an exclamation, but for a little while made no further comment. Like all the others, he seemed to accept the arrival of the new Northern leader as the signal for immediate action, and he wished to think over it. "Grant," he said presently, "will attack us, and you don't know what it costs me to be lying here. I must be up and I will. Don't you see what is coming? Don't you see it, I say?" "What is it that you see?" asked Prescott. "Why, General Lee is going to win the greatest victory of the age. He will beat their biggest army, led by their best General. Why, I see it now! It Pg 189 will be the tactics of Chancellorsville over again. What a pity Jackson is gone! But there's Wood. He'll make a circuit with ten thousand men and hit 'em on the right flank, and at the same time I'll go around with my cavalry and dig into 'em on the left. The Yankees won't be dreaming of it, for Bobby Lee will be pounding 'em in front and they'll have eyes only for him. Won't it be grand, magnificent!" There was a flash in his eye now and he was no longer irritable or impatient. "Isn't war a glorious game?" he said. "Of course it is best not to have war, but if we must have it, it draws out of a man the best that is in him, if he's any good at all." There was a light knock at the door, and Prescott, who was contrasting brother and sister, noticed their countenances change oddly and in a...
