Nothing is more important to Acey than studying Astro-Archeology at the Academy where her grandfather, Dirk, teaches. He raised her after her parents were killed in a space accident. She works on deciphering an ancient set of codices that her father discovered. However, Earth’s political and social landscapes changed drastically since making first contact. The Earther movement sees alien contact as a threat and uses every means to prevent it from further invading their way of life. In this cauldron of turmoil, the Earthers frame Dirk for murder, which sets into motion a space adventure that will forever change Acey and those around her. Her desire to vindicate Dirk leads Acey and her friends on a dangerous trek to the Antares Star System where aliens try to help them find the proof they need. Relentlessly pursued by John O'Malley from the Academy, they barely escape with their lives and finally make it back to Earth where they are captured and incarcerated by the Citizen Guard. Acey learns the truth about her parents’ death, but nothing can prepare her for what else she learns.

McCormack, Bill

Former Toronto police chief William McCormack knows how ugly a homicide investigation can be. In ten years as a homicide detective, he investigated more than 100 homicides and came away with stories that range from grisly and bone-chilling to downright unbelievable -- and sometimes even comical. He shares some of Toronto's most famous murder cases, including the Scarborough Golf Club Road cabby murder and the shootout involving a bad-check artist at the Royal York Hotel.

 With nearly a million acres of beautiful parklands, countless breathtaking mountain and canyon trails, spectacular cityscapes around every corner, and hundreds of miles of gorgeous coastline, the toughest part of running in San Francisco may be deciding on a route to explore first. 
San Francisco Running Guide was written to help make the difficult decision of where to run in the Bay Area an easy one. The book introduces local and visiting runners alike to 35 of the best running routes, plus it gives complete course information about the top 10 races-from 5Ks to marathons-held annually in the Bay Area. 
For each running route included, the book provides:
- an explanation of why it was selected; - a detailed map showing roads and trails to follow on the route; - an icon key that shows route distance, scenery, terrain, hill ratings, and available facilities; - access information that tells how to get to the starting point; - course information that describes every step of the run; and - ""Foot Notes"" that provide additional information to make the run more enjoyable.
Author Bob Cooper-a former Running Times executive editor, a competitive runner, and a longtime Bay Area resident-scouted each route himself so runners don't have to waste their own time exploring unsuitable or less-than-enjoyable routes. Visitors running the routes will get to experience the unique beauty of San Francisco and the Bay Area firsthand, while resident runners will discover routes they never knew existed. "
