Black Oil, Red Blood [Kindle Edition]

The thing about cancer is it’s hard to prove somebody gave it to you on purpose—but Chloe Taylor can prove it. In fact, she proves it for a living. She sues oil refineries that would rather save a buck than comply with safety regulations designed to do important things like, you know, keep people alive.

Chloe had a successful career until circumstances forced her to move to the bass-ackwards town of Kettle, Texas (human population: 4,000; gun population: 34,356). Big Oil industry giant PetroPlex employs half of Kettle’s population, and there’s no question the judge in the town’s got oil stains on his hands. It’s no wonder she’s been on a losing streak lately. She suspects she’s been litigating on an uneven playing field, but when her star expert witness turns up dead less than 48 hours before a make-or break hearing, she knows.

What she doesn’t know is the key piece of information that got her expert killed. It turns out PetroPlex is harboring a shocking secret—one that has the potential to skyrocket gasoline prices, spark an energy market meltdown, and trigger riots, chaos, death, and destruction on a global scale. Chloe must discover the secret and expose the villains before she is permanently silenced, all while juggling a troublesome ex-fiancé and a tantalizing new flame along the way.

A whole town falls in a cavern and struggles to survive...Who will come out alive.

SINKHOLE: A Contemporary Jules Verne [Kindle Edition]

-Disaster strikes a small town in England as the earth gives way to 100feet shafts, burying the people alive-

In the town of Saxonville in South West England, precious lives are lost when a number of sinkholes open up, taking with them a house, a church, a shop, a children’s park, and all the people in them. As the town mourn the loss of their loved ones from the earth’s gaping wounds, the relatives remain unaware that some have survived, after an underground lagoon had cushioned their fall.

Below ground, the survivors drag each other from the water to find themselves in a spectacular cavern with no way out. Desperate to get dry from the perishing cold, they must find a way to make a fire, to keep warm until they are rescued.

In Saxonville, the army is unable to form a rescue team, fearing potential cave-ins. Assuming the people underground are dead, the wheels are set in motion to fill in the holes, so that they can rebuild the town and carry on.

Far below the surface, as their new world is sealed from above, a story of friendship and fortitude begins, as the survivors desperately attempt to find heat, light, food and essential medical supplies. Using their wits and their natural instincts for survival, they recycle the resources that fall through the sinkholes with them; a tree, a bed, a pharmacy and a blue Mondeo.

St. Louis Cardinals IQ: The Ultimate Test of True Fandom (Volume II) [Kindle Edition]

St. Louis trailed Milwaukee by ten games in the NL Central on August 25, 2011, and even more discouraging was the 10.5 game deficit to Atlanta that the Cardinals faced in the Wild Card chase. That frustration was completely erased on September 29, however, as the Cardinals completed one of the greatest comebacks in history to make the postseason. It took a lot of help from a Braves team that lost 20 of its final 31 games, but the Cardinals did their part, winning 23 of 32 to close out the regular season and claim the Wild Card berth on the season’s final day.

But the fun was just starting for this club.

The Phillies and the Brewers were expected to meet in the NLCS, but the Cardinals spoiled their postseason plans as well, knocking off the Phillies first, and then taking care of the Brewers in the NLCS to claim the pennant and set up a seven-game showdown with the Texas Rangers in the 2011 World Series.

The drama of the 2011 season unfolded against the backdrop of Albert Pujols’ looming free agency and an uncharacteristic slow start offensively for arguably the greatest player of his generation — but when a fractured left forearm threatened to sideline the three-time MVP in late June for up to six weeks, Pujols demonstrated the tenacity and intense desire to win that come October would define this Cardinals team … and he returned to the field after only two weeks.

No wonder this team was down to it’s final strike in consecutive innings in Game 6 of the World Series, with the season, hopes, and dreams of its fans all hanging in the balance, and somehow still prevailed.

This second volume of Cardinals history and trivia from author Larry Underwood and Black Mesa Publishing is a tribute not only to the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals, but to the many legends and heroes who’s exploits on the field of play have made this organization one of the most respected and accomplished in professional sports.
