She was a two-masted schooner, built by a man named Edmond Fitzgerald-EdmOnd, with an “O.” He came from an Irish family of six brothers, all Great Lakes people. It all started in 1870 when the first Edmond Fitzgerald was built in Port Huron, Michigan-maybe 60, 70 miles north of Detroit. You don’t build another Titanic, if you know what I mean. They shouldn’t have called the second one the Edmund Fitzgerald. Not a single member of the crew on either boat survived.Īny sailor will tell you, you never name a boat after one that was lost. One was lost at Long Point, the other near Whitefish Point. But none of that mattered to the waters of the Great Lakes. One was made of wood, the other of steel. The first Fitzgerald survived thirteen years on the Great Lakes, the second one, seventeen years. If they had known about the first one, things might have been different. You probably never knew there were TWO Fitzgeralds, did you? No one did. ) Map: Environment and Climate Change Canadaīy Bette Lou Higgins and Shelley Pearsall National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( Feature photo: The tip of Ontario’s Long Point, the Long Point Escarpment and the Dunkirk Escarpment.

Their leader, Queen Hannah, was killed and their conduit, in the form of a locket, was broken in two. Only a few Winterians managed to escape and the rest were killed or enslaved. Sixteen years ago, the kingdom of Winter was attacked by the land of Spring. They are in the form of things like a locket, a ring, a dagger. These conduits were created from a giant ball of magic that is somewhere beneath the season kingdoms (to which the entrance has been lost). With these conduits they can create a plentiful harvest, make people better soldiers, provide health, or even force their people to obey (the king of Spring, Angra, uses his magic to enhance anything bad or evil rather than the betterment of his kingdom). The royal family is either female or male line based. Jannuari is the name of Winter’s great city.Ĭhakram – Mira’s weapon of choice, (see book cover)īackground: Each of the kingdoms of Primoria has a magic conduit that only works for the royal family.

The Lost Hero (from The Heroes of Olympus) 6/28/2023 0 Comments Dan abnett the saintI have had a wonderful time with the first three novels, First and Only, Ghostmaker and Necropolis, as well as the prequel novel The Vincula Insurgency, which showcased the bloody lives of the common soldier in this war-torn universe. However, his best-known works are his Gaunt’s Ghosts series of books, which catalogue the adventures of the Tanith First and Only regiment of Imperial Guard, better known as Gaunt’s Ghosts. I deeply enjoyed his Eisenhorn trilogy ( Xenos, Malleus and Hereticus), all three of which were given pride of place in my recent post listing my favourite Warhammer 40,000 novels. Foremost amongst these books have been the compelling works of veteran author Dan Abnett, who has written so many impressive and key parts of the Warhammer canon over the years. Readers of this blog will no doubt have noticed a fair increase in the number of Warhammer 40,000 novels I’ve highlighted this year, as this entire grim expanded universe has quite an addictive quality to it. For this week’s Throwback Thursday I’m still in a Warhammer 40,000 mood, so I decided to dive even further into Dan Abnett’s classic Gaunt’s Ghosts series with the fourth book, Honour Guard. Welcome back to my Throwback Thursday series, where I republish old reviews, review books I have read before or review older books I have only just had a chance to read.

I would recommend, if for no other reason than I like Mary Calmes story telling.ģ years Mary! 3. I have book 5 left, but I will wait a while before I read it. I was a bit confused that Mary Calmes did not expound on Jory and Sam's union but rather chose to end the tale with anothers wedding and petty jealousy. Jory's escapades and his attempt at mystery solving was rather enjoyable (if not a bit far fetched) and the conversations between Dane and Jory were rather comical. I kept saying, if I was Jory.geez the expletives that spewed forth from my mouth! Now I will say that I did enjoy book four the most. Attempting to identify with the characters allows the reader to fully enjoy the tale that is being told and I just could not. I just completed Volume 2 (Books #3-4) and somewhere towards the end of book 3 I figured out what it was that I was having a problem with.I do not identify with the dominate/submissive relationship between Sam and Jory. I read and reviewed Volume 1 (Books #1-2) giving it a three rating for the story. There was just something about this series that I just did not like and I could not put my finger on it. 6/27/2023 0 Comments The wide windowThat night, the children hear a crash and find out that their new guardian had jumped out of the Wide Window that overlooks Lake Lachrymose, and that before doing so left a note for them informing them that Captain Sham will be their new guardian. Aunt Josephine declines to believe this due to Captain Sham's charming personality. While helping Aunt Josephine in the grocery store, Violet runs into a sailor named "Captain Sham", who she concludes is Count Olaf in disguise. Her library is filled with books about the grammar of the English language because she loves grammar. Aunt Josephine is afraid of almost everything from cooking food because she is scared that her stove would explode, to her welcome mat. Poe puts the Baudelaire orphans, Klaus Baudelaire, Sunny Baudelaire and Violet Baudelaire under the care of Aunt Josephine, who lives in a house atop a hill overlooking Lake Lachrymose, a lake so large that hurricanes have occurred in that area. The book was published on Februby HarperCollins and illustrated by Brett Helquist. In this novel, the Baudelaire orphans live with their aunt Josephine, who is seemingly scared of everything. The Wide Window is the third novel of the children's book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. |
