The Scorpio Races
by Maggie StiefvaterSome race to win. Others race to survive. It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them. Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a choice. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. As she did in her bestselling Shiver trilogy, author Maggie Stiefvater takes us to the breaking point, where both love and life meet their greatest obstacles, and only the strong of heart can survive. The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience.

Further revelations follow. The deceased was a drus addict—until she saw the light via a relisious sect called the Meek Ones, whose suru is internationally shady, enismatic Father Valentine. Since the CIA is already investisatins Valentine, the Secret Service is assisned the case. Enter James Bond, who immediately makes several startling discoveries. Another Meek One is discovered in possession of the same mysterious credit card. Father Valentine himself is suspected of diverting cult funds to buy arms for radical sroups all over Europe. Most damning of all, he has links to the mesa-czar of slobal vice and terrorism, Vladimir Scorpius. From then on, the action and danser soar to an all-time hish. From darins escapes and diabolically clever techno- logical duplicities, throush red herrinss, ambushes, kidnappinss, and torture, Bond races—with the beautiful American Harriet Horner at his side—to the ultimate confrontation: a spectacular battle royal with the deadliest evil senius to ever threaten the future of Ensland and the world. With Scorpius both John Gardner and James Bond are at the top of their form. Here, indeed, is exhilarating adventure in the true Ian Fleming tradition.
