High school junior Samantha Blackwell has always been haunted by unsettling dreams that leave her restless and exhausted. But one steamy summer spent mostly working at her family’s psychic reading shop, everything changes… Her dreams reveal a budding mystery, a vision that lovely and unassuming classmate Jane Hutchens, who she hardly knows, is being covertly watched at every turn. Stalked. Believing that her dreams are destined to come true, Samantha comes face-to-face with her deepest insecurities as she does her best to rise to the challenge and help Jane. Jane has always struggled to fit in with the outgoing, uber popular Hutchens clan. And life’s newest twist isn’t making things any easier. Jane is gay, and when she comes out to her influential family, the news lands with an inglorious and heartbreaking thud. Still reeling from the fallout, she begins to receive messages from a secret admirer and is intrigued. But what starts out as harmless soon ensnares both girls in a web that spins dangerously out of control. A small New England seaside town and a puzzle demanding to be solved is the backdrop for a newly minted friendship to ignite into romance and a summer that neither teen will ever forget. Together, are they strong enough to shine a light into a place as dark as the blind side of the moon?

A selection of the History, Scientific American, and Quality Paperback Book Clubs For a very brief moment during the 1960s, America was moonstruck. Boys dreamt of being an astronaut; girls dreamed of marrying one. Americans drank Tang, bought “space pens” that wrote upside down, wore clothes made of space age Mylar, and took imaginary rockets to the moon from theme parks scattered around the country. But despite the best efforts of a generation of scientists, the almost foolhardy heroics of the astronauts, and 35 billion dollars, the moon turned out to be a place of “magnificent desolation,” to use Buzz Aldrin’s words: a sterile rock of no purpose to anyone. In Dark Side of the Moon, Gerard J. DeGroot reveals how NASA cashed in on the Americans’ thirst for heroes in an age of discontent and became obsessed with putting men in space. The moon mission was sold as a race which America could not afford to lose. Landing on the moon, it was argued, would be good for the economy, for politics, and for the soul. It could even win the Cold War. The great tragedy is that so much effort and expense was devoted to a small step that did virtually nothing for mankind. Drawing on meticulous archival research, DeGroot cuts through the myths constructed by the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations and sustained by NASA ever since. He finds a gang of cynics, demagogues, scheming politicians, and corporations who amassed enormous power and profits by exploiting the fear of what the Russians might do in space. Exposing the truth behind one of the most revered fictions of American history, Dark Side of the Moon explains why the American space program has been caught in a state of purposeless wandering ever since Neil Armstrong descended from Apollo 11 and stepped onto the moon. The effort devoted to the space program was indeed magnificent and its cultural impact was profound, but the purpose of the program was as desolate and dry as lunar dust.

Rugby club tours - rule number one WHAT GOES ON TOUR, STAYS ON TOUR Yet again in the sequel to Taking it up the Blindside, Jon Prichard, former captain of the Bangkok British Rugby Club breaks all the rules. Cat-out-of-the-bag and spilling-the-beans on what really happens on rugby tours ain't the half of this book's mischief! If you have only watched rugby from the sidelines or indeed matches broadcast on TV and marvelled at the speed, agility, handling skills and utter respect paid to the referee and you've thought ...what nice gentlemen these sportsmen are... read this book to get another perspective. Back Up The Blindside is another raunchy, plain speaking, non-PC set of tales, some of which are frankly almost unprintable but are based on real life experiences. Whilst the majority of tales relate to playing rugby in Bangkok and touring in SE Asia there are anecdotal chapters from the past in Jon's younger years in the UK and even one about a shocking golf match!

An alien race known as the Xzebuliens that exists in an alternate universe has developed the technology to create a rift in our own, that appears on the blind side of the moon. They send asteroids through the rift and deflect them to land on all the major continents of Earth, containing a virus engineered to wipe out the human race, so they can leave their dying world behind after we are gone. There will however, be limitations to the virus, like how far and fast it spreads from the epicenters of the land masses that they strike making our environment toxic to humans, but not to most any other forms of life on the planet. The virus, also designed to turn the environment against humans, including the plant and animal life. What the aliens did not count on is that the rats of Earth are affected by the virus in a way that mutates them, rendering the virus inert so as not to be dangerous to us through them, but giving them an ability to become telepathic with people through their Meta cognitive abilities that they share with human beings which is evidently lacking in other animal species. They eventually become our allies using their superior senses and intellect that work through us because of their mutated telepathic abilities and the Meta cognitive powers that both our species have in common in thwarting the alien attempts to invade. An ancient secret the rats discover in an otherworldly alien AI database that they reveal to us through their enhanced mental abilities is so shocking it will change the way people look at rats and our world forever. The human race becomes subservient to the rats because of their accidental alien viral metamorphosis as we depend on each other for the survival of both our species....
