DOWNLOAD EBOOKDevil’s Gate—the name conjures difficult passage and portends a doubtful outcome. In this eloquent and captivating narrative, Tom Rea traces the history of the Sweetwater River valley in central Wyoming—a remote place including Devil’s Gate, Independence Rock, and other sites along a stretch of the Oregon Trail—to show how ownership of a place can translate into owning its story. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, Devil’s Gate is the center of a landscape that threatens to shrink any inhabitants to insignificance except for one thing: ownership of the land and the stories they choose to tell about it. The static serenity of the once heavily traveled region masks a history of conflict. Tom Sun, an early rancher, played a role here in the lynching of the only woman ever hanged in Wyoming. The lynching was dismissed as swift frontier justice in the wake of cattle theft, but Rea finds more complicated motives that involve land and water rights. The Sun name was linked with the land for generations. In the 1990s, the Mormon Church purchased part of the Sun ranch to memorialize Martin’s Cove as the site of handcart pioneers who froze to death in the valley in 1856. The treeless, arid country around Devil’s Gate seems too immense for ownership. But stories run with the land. People who own the land can own the stories, at least for a time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt's not treason when you're taking back your own kingdom. Forgive me but the evidence shows the devil was wrongly convicted of high treason. Begin with this biblical fact: He was the number one angel in heaven known as God's cover angel. He sat next to God and was promised to be god's successor to rule the kingdom of heaven. Lucifer was the Minister of Music and was actually a musical instrument. He wore a sheet with colored jewels that when turned made music. He was the one who brought us music. All this went to hell when God had a son named Jesus. God promised the kingdom to his new son, a breach of promise that Lucifer forbeared. Jesus enacted laws restricting angels. A group of angels believed the new laws enslaved them. Lucifer was their leader and led the angel revolt. The Devil's Story is a rock musical of his retrial for high treason. Don't worry it has a happy ending, sort of.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKShe’s spent the last seven hundred years hiding in plain sight. But Mouse's past is about to catch up with her. The Devil’s Bible. Once considered an eighth wonder of the world, the ancient book is shrouded in mystery. No one knows who wrote it or where it was written. Even dry-boned scholars whisper about the secrets hidden in the book: How it calls to the power-hungry. How it drives people mad. How it was written in the shadows by the hand of the devil himself. But no one knows the truth—no one except Mouse. She’s been running from the truth at the heart of the Devil’s Bible for so long that no one even knows her name anymore. She calls herself Emma Nicholas—a normal name for a normal college professor living a normal life. But all of it is a lie, and, when forces emerge that threaten to expose her, Mouse has no choice but to take flight once more. Desperate and on the run, Mouse unexpectedly finds hope in a stranger’s kindness. But it will take more than hope to win this game of souls—a battle between good and evil set in motion long ago at the birth of the Devil’s Bible.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA heart-pumping short story from the New York Times–bestselling author featuring one of operative Cotton Malone’s earliest missions . . . In this alternate-history-with-a-twist Thriller Short, Steve Berry explores one of Cotton Malone’s early missions, from a time when Malone was still employed as one of the Magellan Billet’s twelve agents. Malone is sent on a mission to a small central Asian country run by an enigmatic dictator, Yossef Sharma, whose alliance with the United States must be kept under wraps. It’s not a mission Malone enjoys, since Sharma has a penchant for burning books. Things get even more interesting when Sharma connects Malone with the world’s most infamous criminal, a man who wants to surrender. Things are not always what they seem, and Malone will need Sharma’s help if he plans to set things right and give the devil his due. This story was originally published in the “outstanding anthology” Thriller (Publishers Weekly), edited by #1 New York Times–bestselling author James Patterson. Many other Thriller Shorts are available from such blockbuster authors as Lee Child, David Morrell, Brad Thor, Katherine Neville, Heather Graham, and Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Praise for Steve Berry “Berry pumps the veins of history with action-packed adrenaline.” —Chicago Tribune “A fast-moving, globe-hopping tale of long-lost treasure and shadowy bad guys.” —San Francisco Chronicle
