When these creatures uncover information surrounding the source of Hunter's strength, they stop at nothing to destroy him.

Treasure Island meets Battlestar Galactica in Book 2 of the swashbuckling sci-fi adventure series SLJ called "space opera in the classic style" in a starred review, from New York Times bestselling author Jason Fry. It's been a tough year for Tycho Hashoone and his family. Hostilities between the Jovian Union and Earth have reached a boiling point. The privateering business hasn't exactly been booming. And the ongoing contest for the captain's seat of the Shadow Comet has the three Hashoone siblings perpetually on edge. Then the Hashoones intercept a ship—one with a long-dead crew, its final mission a warning to all who seek their fortunes in space. The Hashoones don't have time for ill omens; they need a payday. Following clues from the mysterious ship, they embark on a hunt for the long-lost treasure of the Iris—a treasure that Tycho's own great-grandfather Johannes had a hand in hiding. But in his quest for the Iris cache, Tycho is going to dig up much more than he bargained for. Because like old pirate treasure, family secrets never stay buried for long. Filled with action, intrigue, and one unforgettable family, The Jupiter Pirates: Curse of the Iris takes readers across the depths of space and brings the Jupiter Pirates saga to new heights.
This list of prominent poets in this volume reminds us that for most of the nineteenth century, American literature was the literature of New England. Poe and Lanier represent the South; Whitman, Crane, and Melville New York. Bryant, Emerson, Thoreau, Holmes, Whittier, Lowell, Longfellow, and Dickinson were citizens of New England (as were the lesser known Tuckerman and Very). Dunbar is the lone midwesterner. As a group, they were highly conscious of a shared responsiblility: the building of a national literature. The purpose of this book is to help the student of nineteenth-century American poetry locate those secondary materials needed for course work, background reading, research, and independent study. The first section is devoted to general treatments of nineteenth century American poetry; this is followed by sections on individual authors (in sequence according to birth). Ideal for high school and undergraduate students, and a good starting point for the more specialized needs of advanced English majors, graduate students and professional scholars.

If you love the chase and if your heart is "wild," then The Heart of the Sportsman is for you. After reading a paragraph or two, you will be there -- out in the field -- stalking -- listening -- strategizing. But The Heart of the Sportsman is more than just spiritual reflections on the outdoors. It's tougher, grittier than that. It's about what works out there and why -- and who the giver of all this wisdom is. It's also about more than the thrill of the chase. It's about relationships. It's about seeing more to a late fall Saturday morning than just the deer stand and the pull of the trigger. It's about the ride in the pickup. It's about the banter and the bad hair. It's about the real life that's shared once the small talk has become more serious and reflective. It's about open doors and God-moments. The Heart of the Sportsman is more than a devotional book. This book will help you hunt better and smarter with chapters on camouflage, deer calling, turkey calling, scent control, hunting myths, and fishing. The Heart of the Sportsman will help you bring home more than a trophy mount. Book jacket.
