These four fictional accounts describe the evolutionary end to the Stone Age, which lingered in the coastal region of the Pacific Northwest. The setting is the central coast of British Columbia in about the sixteenth century of the modern era. In this imaginary account the evolutionary process, which took millennium in reality, is compressed into four phases, expressed in one lifetime. The scenes change from that of the nomadic Hunter Gatherers, to the established Agricultural society, to a culture that bartered for more than food and developed the concept of economy, to the eventual introduction of the Iron Age. The latter was ushered in with the appearance of European explorers and trappers, such as English Captain George Vancouver, who explored the region of the Pacific Northwest coast in 1792, nearly eight thousand years after the first humans made it their home. This final advancement also brought their aggression and diseases that claimed up to 80% of the people who had no immunity for protection.

New York Times bestselling author Rainbow Rowell's epic fantasy, the Simon Snow trilogy, concludes with Any Way the Wind Blows. In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong. Now, Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha must decide how to move forward. For Simon, that means choosing whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages — and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. The Simon Snow Trilogy was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the Wind Blows is an ending about endings—about catharsis and closure, and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try to define us.

A gripping story of loss, manipulation and the fight to survive. Steve Physioc is a great storyteller who writes believable characters, with a conflict against a historical backdrop that has been widely written about, yet he creates unique scenes and a plot that is original. -- Readers' Favorite Sam Cloud-Carson has a good life. He's a budding baseball phenom who can pack the stands with scouts. He's surrounded by a loving family. And he's well known in his Southern Ute tribe and beyond as the best wildlife tracker anyone has ever seen - anyone, including Drake Dixon. Drake doesn't concern himself with anything or anyone that can't give him what he craves: money and power. His position and prestige as owner of Diamond Bar Security bring him both, but he knows young Sam can bring him even more. If he can convince him to come on board and track for Diamond Bar in the wealth-laden mountains of Afghanistan, that is. When the worst day of Sam's life becomes the best day of Drake's, their paths become impossibly intertwined in a journey across the globe - a journey with life-altering implications for them both.
