Will Sammy achieve his true Seminole self? Will Eugenie ever get to the beach? Will the Everglades survive the wild humans? All the answers are revealed in the delectably outrageous mayhem that propels this novel to its Hiaasen-of-the-highest-order climax. ![]() And when they all pull up on Dismal Key, they don’t know they’re intruding on Sammy Tigertail, a half white–half Seminole failed alligator wrestler, trying like hell to be a hermit despite the Florida State coed who’s dying to be his hostage. And he doesn’t know he’s being followed by Honey’s still-smitten former drug-running ex-husband, Perry, and their wise-and-protective-way-beyond-his-years twelve-year-old-son, Fry. What she doesn’t know is that she’s being followed by her Honey-obsessed former employer, Piejack (whose mismatched fingers are proof that sexual harassment in the workplace is a bad idea). She’s taking rude, gullible Relentless, Inc., telemarketer Boyd Shreave and his less-than-enthusiastic mistress, Eugenie-the fifteen-minute-famous girlfriend of a tabloid murderer-into the wilderness of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands for a gentle lesson in civility. Honey Santana-impassioned, willful, possibly bipolar, self-proclaimed “queen of lost causes”-has a scheme to help rid the world of irresponsibility, indifference, and dinnertime sales calls. ![]() ![]() In the following decades, his efforts in illustrating the book series continued every few years. ![]() When Dune was published in 1965, he created the book's dust jacket, the very first book cover of any edition of Dune.

John Carl Schoenheer (J– April 8, 2010) was an American illustrator with a decades long career, working mainly in book illustrations between 19, nearly half a century. ![]() " I can envision no more perfect visual representation of my Dune world than John Schoenherr's careful and accurate illustrations." ― Frank Herbert ![]() ![]() Yes, there are loose ends, but sometimes it’s better to mull over the outcomes of a story. ![]() WHY? Why would an author invest all this time developing characters, designing a wonderful plot, make readers addicted to the story, and then decide: “Fuck it, let’s continue this story without the main characters of the first trilogy”? So, I decided not to continue reading the other books and I’m quite happy with my decision. Turns out, there are, but it’s a companion trilogy that follows other characters. ![]() I did what any responsible reader would do in my situation, I went on the author’s site and tried to figure out if there were more books. Honestly, that was the closest I got to being annoyed, and usually at the first hint of a trope I’m already groaning … ![]() Sure, The Reckoning got on my nerves a bit, especially when I came to the end and there were so many loose ends floating around. I know, I know, the book blurbs make this trilogy sound terribly pedestrian, but you know what? Everyone has their guilty pleasure reads and I actually wouldn’t mind reading The Darkest Powers again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() OL5950568W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 94.18 Pages 294 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.20 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20221007122937 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 459 Scandate 20221002034514 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 0451401212 Tts_version 5.
