Devils’ Tag

Have you ever found yourself contemplating something you wouldn’t admit to anyone? Do thoughts sometimes enter your mind that seem to be not your own? Do you want to ignore them? Can you ignore them? No, really, deep down, have you ever wanted something so bad that you would do absolutely anything to get it: As long as nobody saw you do it? Who are you when nobody is looking? Are there forces outside of you, bigger than you are, more powerful, too powerful to ignore? Or are you the master of your own fate? In this coming of age story, Tommy Flack encounters not only his own greed and disillusionment, he also encounters a familiar Princess, a body morphing dog, piranhas, giant first graders, the Gabbernaught, drivable tornadoes, flowing volcanos, falling helicopters, racing horses, Sigmund Freud selling hot dogs, dancing pirates, slavery, his long-lost father, tap shoes, Unicorn Boy, the Freedom Riders, Anne Frank, Adolph Hitler, Abraham Lincoln, and Pablo Neruda on a journey to eliminate or become New Evil. Consider it a game of Devils’ Tag. Are you it?

Brazil

Brazil is the first work of fiction to depict five centuries of a great nation’s remarkable history, its evolution from colony to kingdom, from empire to modern republic. With a stunning cast of real and fictional characters, the story unfolds in South America, Africa and Europe.Two families dominate this extraordinary novel. The Cavalcantis are among the original settlers and establish the classic Brazilian plantation — vast, powerful, built with slave labor. The da Silvas represent the second element in both contemporary and historical Brazil: pathfinders and prospectors. For generations, these adventurers have their eyes set on El Dorado, which they ultimately find — in a coffee fazenda at Sao Paulo.Brazil is an intensely human story — brutal and violent, tender and passionate. Perilous explorations through the Brazilian wilderness. the perpetual clash of pioneer and native, visionary and fortune hunter, master and slave, zealot and exploiter. the thunder of war on land and sea as European powers and South American nations pursue their territorial conquests. the triumphs and tragedies of a people who built a nation covering half the South American continent. all are here in one spell-binding saga.
