Lose weight, lower cholesterol, significantly reduce the risk of disease, and become physically fit--in just 4 weeks.

Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn is used to responding to emergencies. So, when he learned that some of his fellow Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX, were in dire physical condition-several had dangerously high cholesterol levels (the highest was 344!)-he sprang into action and created a life-saving plan for the firehouse. By following Rip's program, everyone lost weight (some more than 20 lbs.), lowered their cholesterol (Mr. 344's dropped to 196), and improved their overall health. Now, Rip outlines his proven plan in this book. With Rip as your expert coach and motivator, you'll transform your body and lifestyle in a month. His plant-powered eating plan is based on a diet of whole foods, including whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. This invaluable guide features: **Dozens of easy, mouthwatering recipes-from pancakes to pizza, Tex-Mex favorites to knockout chocolate desserts-that will keep you looking forward to every bite **Pantry-stocking tips will take the panic out of inevitable cravings and on-the-fly meals **Guidelines on menu choices that will allow you to eat out, wherever and whenever you want **Rip's simple, firefighter-inspired exercise program that will boost your metabolism and melt your fat away.

Medically approved, easy-to-follow, and amazingly effective, this diet is designed for anyone who wants to make heroic strides in his or her health, weight, and well-being-all without heroic effort. $24.99

WEIRD HORROR TALES
THIRTEEN HARROWING STORIES OF HORROR &
SUSPENSE IN THE LOVECRAFT TRADITION

 

 
 
 
 
 
Something big just got bigger.

Legendary cover artist Keith Birdsong has painted the cover for "Weird Horror Tales", an homage to pulp magazines from the '20s, '30s, and '40s "Weird Tales" and "Horror Stories". The collection was written by Michael Vance.

Birdsong is famous for his extremely realistic covers for "Star Trek" novels, featuring the actors from the movies and television series. He has also done work for "Star Wars", the cyberpunk role-playing game "Shadowrun", and children's books like "The Halloween Hex". In addition, Birdsong's work has been featured in films, on Hamilton Collection collectors' plates, and on U.S. Postage stamps.

"Vance offers up thirteen tales of Lovecraftian horror with a deft sense of suspense and heart-pumping terror," said Ron Fortier, editor of the title. "Earl Geier's art for these stories is as stark and brutal as a cold knife's edge. His grasp of terror is second to none, and delivers nightmarish scenes with incredible, horrific feelings. Whereas Keith Birdsong's cover is simply creepy to the max. It is a work of intense imagination that will pull you into this collection like a twisted siren's song."

"My stories are founded on the premise that there is something larger than our narrow view of reality," said Vance. "Each interconnected story shares setting, history, prominent families, and a macro plot. The stories also focus on the Azrealites, a religious cult that works tirelessly to reinstate that 'Other' on Earth through science and the occult."

These stories about the fictional town of "Light's End" in Maine have been published in dozens of magazines in three countries, including "Dark Corridor", and have also been recorded by renowned actor William ("Murder She Wrote") Windom.

The interior illustrations are by artist Earl Geier who is best known for his horror, fantasy and science fiction artwork. In the role playing game industry, his work includes art for "Battletech", "Call of Cthulhu", and many others. He has illustrated books for "Cemetery Dance" magazine, Chaosium, Gryphon and Subterranean Press. For comic book, he's had work published by Dark Horse Comics, Comiczone, Now, Innovation and DC Comics Paradox.

Vance has written for national and international magazines, and as a syndicated columnist and cartoonist in over 500 newspapers. His history book, "Forbidden Adventures", has been called a "benchmark in comics history". He briefly ghosted an internationally syndicated comic strip, wrote his own strip and several comic books. He is listed in the Who's Who of American Comic Books and Comic Book Superstars. Illustrated by Earl Geier. Cover by Keith Birdsong. Design by Rob Davis. Edited by Ron Fortier.

and Grill Recipes from
around the world
by Jan Cutler

Beginning with the best ways to set up your grill and griddle equipment, the barbecue recipes then kick off with bite-sized nibbles that are just enough to whet the appetite. Savour crispy Potato wedges with Basil and Lemon Dip, try heavenly Hot Avocado Halves or rustle up quick party foods such as Ham Pizzettas with Mango or Grilled Chicken Bites.

The seafood selection is hard to beat, with the wonderfully fresh Whole Stuffed Squid side-by-side with Tangy Grilled Salmon with Pineapple and Barbecued Red Snapper.

Bobby Flays's
Burgers, Fries & Shakes

After a long day spent in one of his restaurants or taping a television show, what Bobby Flay craves more than anything else is … a crusty-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside burger; a fistful of golden, crisp, salty fries; and a thick, icy milkshake. Given the grilling guru’s affinity for bold flavors and signature twists on American favorites, it’s no surprise that he has crafted the tastiest recipes ever for this ultimate food trio.

Though he doesn’t believe in messing with delicious certified Angus chuck (just salt and pepper on the patty–no “meatloaf” burgers here), Bobby loves adding flavorful relishes and condiments to elevate the classic burger. Once you’ve learned what goes into making that burger (from how to shape it so it cooks up perfectly to melting the cheese just so), go to town with Bobby's favorite combinations of additions. Try the Cheyenne Burger, which gets slathered with homemade barbecue sauce and then piled high with bacon and shoestring onion rings, or the Santa Fe Burger, topped with a blistered poblano, queso sauce, and crumbled blue corn tortilla chips. And although Bobby’s personal preference is for beef, turkey can be substituted in any burger, and a handful of salmon and tuna burger recipes are included for those looking for leaner options.

After you’ve mastered the burger, discover Bobby’s secrets to cooking up the best French fries–whether they’re fried, grilled, or oven roasted, or made from spuds, sweet potatoes, or even plantains–as well as homemade potato chips and onions rings. Wash it all down with a creamy shake, from Fresh Mint—Chocolate Speckled Milkshake to Blackberry Cheesecake Milkshake (or a spiked adult variation).

With the opening of Bobby’s Burger Palace in Lake Grove, New York, on Long Island–and with more locations to come–Bobby has achieved burger, fry, and shake bliss in the world. For outdoor summer bashes and casual weeknight meals that even the kids will get excited about, Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries & Shakes will share that bliss and remind you just why the burger is such a beloved American original. $25.95

A B C in Tulsa
by Robin Segal and the schoolchildren of Tulsa

A is for Armadillo, B is for BOK Center and barbecue. C is for clock, Creek Council Oak Tree, and chicken fried steak. Finally, an alphabet book for Tulsans, for the kids who grow up here and point to " Flags" and "fire engines" from their strollers and for the out of town kids and their parents who visit. This book is also for all those slightly older kids, parked and rushing and jostling in the street, who see objects and people in this book, day after day, and who recognize and value the small objects and ordinary People that, taken together, are the "ABC" of Tulsa.

ABC in Tulsa is for all who live in Tulsa, visit Tulsa, and love Tulsa. However, this book was developed by several hundred elementary school students in Tulsa. They thought of words for the book and colors for the cover, so this book is especially for all of the schoolchildren of Tulsa. $12.95

Finger Lickin Fifteen
by Janet Evanovich

UNBUCKLE YOUR BELT AND PULL UP A CHAIR.  IT'S THE SPICIEST, SAUCIEST, MOST RIB-STICKING PLUM YET.
 

Recipe for disaster:

Celebrity chef Stanley Chipotle comes to Trenton to participate in a barbecue cook-off and loses his head --literally.

Throw in some spice:

Bail bonds office worker Lula is witness to the crime, and the only one she’ll talk to is Trenton cop, Joe Morelli.

Pump up the heat:

Chipotle’s sponsor is offering a million dollar reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the capture of the killers.

Stir the pot:

Lula recruits bounty hunter Stephanie Plum to help her find the killers and collect the moolah.

Add a secret ingredient:

Stephanie Plum’s Grandma Mazur.  Enough said.

Bring to a boil:

Stephanie Plum is working overtime tracking felons for the bonds office at night and snooping for security expert Carlos Manoso, A.K.A. Ranger, during the day.  Can Stephanie hunt down two killers, a traitor, five skips, keep her grandmother out of the sauce, solve Ranger’s problems and not jump his bones?

Warning:

Habanero hot.  So good you’ll want seconds.  $27.95

The Selected Works of
T.S. Spivet
by Reif Larsen

When twelve-year-old genius cartographer T.S. Spivet receives an unexpected phone call from the Smithsonian announcing he has won the prestigious Baird Award, life as normal—if you consider mapping family dinner table conversation normal—is interrupted and a wild cross-country adventure begins, taking T.S. from his family ranch just north of Divide, Montana, to the museum’s hallowed halls.

T.S. sets out alone, leaving before dawn with a plan to hop a freight train and hobo east. Once aboard, his adventures step into high gear and he meticulously maps, charts, and illustrates his exploits, documenting mythical wormholes in the Midwest, the urban phenomenon of “rims,” and the pleasures of McDonald’s, among other things. We come to see the world through T.S.’s eyes and in his thorough investigation of the outside world he also reveals himself.

As he travels away from the ranch and his family we learn how the journey also brings him closer to home. A secret family history found within his luggage tells the story of T.S.’s ancestors and their long-ago passage west, offering profound insight into the family he left behind and his role within it. As T.S. reads he discovers the sometimes shadowy boundary between fact and fiction and realizes that, for all his analytical rigor, the world around him is a mystery.

All that he has learned is tested when he arrives at the capital to claim his prize and is welcomed into science’s inner circle. For all its shine, fame seems more highly valued than ideas in this new world and friends are hard to find.

T.S.’s trip begins at the Copper Top Ranch and the last known place he stands is Washington, D.C., but his journey’s movement is far harder to track: How do you map the delicate lessons learned about family and self? How do you depict how it feels to first venture out on your own? Is there a definitive way to communicate the ebbs and tides of heartbreak, loss, loneliness, love? These are the questions that strike at the core of this very special debut. $27.95
 

Road Dogs
by Elmore Leonard

 

 

 

Legendary New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard returns with three of his favorite characters: Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from LaBrava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap.

Jack Foley, the charming bank robber from Out of Sight, is serving a thirty-year sentence in a Miami penitentiary, but he's made an unlikely friend on the inside who just might be able to do something about that. Fellow inmate Cundo Rey, an extremely wealthy Cuban criminal, arranges for Foley's sentence to be reduced from thirty years to three months, and when Jack is released just two weeks ahead of Cundo, he agrees to wait for him in Venice Beach, California.

Also waiting for Cundo is his common-law wife, Dawn Navarro, a professional psychic with a slightly ulterior motive for staying with Cundo: namely, she wants his money. And with the arrival of Jack, she sees the perfect partner in a plan to relieve Cundo of his fortune. Cundo may be Jack's friend, but does that mean he can trust him? And can either of them trust Dawn?

Road Dogs is Elmore Leonard at his best—with his trademark tight plotting and pitch-perfect dialogue—and readers will love seeing Cundo, Jack, and Dawn back in action and working together . . . or are they? $26.99
