Crashing Through


Book Description

Mike May spent his life crashing through. Blinded at age three, he defied expectations by breaking world records in downhill speed skiing, joining the CIA, and becoming a successful inventor, entrepreneur, and family man. He had never yearned for vision. Then, in 1999, a chance encounter brought startling news: a revolutionary stem cell transplant surgery could restore May’s vision. It would allow him to drive, to read, to see his children’s faces. But the procedure was filled with gambles, some of them deadly, others beyond May’s wildest dreams. Beautifully written and thrillingly told, Crashing Through is a journey of suspense, daring, romance, and insight into the mysteries of vision and the brain. Robert Kurson gives us a fascinating account of one man’s choice to explore what it means to see–and to truly live.

Book Description

In the dangerous expanse of the Eon galaxy, Nova Ainsley has discovered her home is about to be decimated by Dominion, seeking its invaluable Neron deposits. Desperate to escape with her father, Nova has been building highly illegal weapons fueled by Neron's immense power, and selling them on the black market. But her dangerous path is about to intertwine with the last Nero, Valen, a man feared as the most powerful being in the galaxy, the only person capable of wielding Neron to his will. One touch shows her the future—it’s with him—her fingers laced with his, love mingled with darkness. Their connection defies logic, and how can Nova reconcile her feelings and the way he looks at her, when she knows the truth of the terrible things Valen has done? As she uncovers her true identity and the secrets of the Nero, Nova sets off with a crew of fugitives in search of those who can train her to wield her newly awakened abilities. She won’t put her chosen family at risk. But this tangled web of danger and desire leaves her with an agonizing decision. The love between her and Valen could bring the entire galaxy to its knees.
