A miracle drug, Nevermore, spreads like wildfire throughout the world allowing people to eat what they want, no matter how unhealthy it is and yet still lose weight. It is everything the human population has ever dreamed of and Mara is no different. Only a simple twist of fate stops her from taking the drug.
As the weeks roll by, it becomes apparent that Nevermore is not the miracle it claimed. A true to life nightmare, the drug steals the very essence that makes up humanity and unleashes a new and deadly species on the world, a species bent on filling its belly. Locked down within their small farm home, Mara and her husband Sebastian struggle against increasingly bad odds, fighting off marauders and monsters alike.
But Sebastian carries a dark secret, one that more than threatens to tear them apart, it threatens to destroy them both and the love they have for each other. The secret forces Mara to make the ultimate choice. Will she live for love, or will she live to survive?

So you wanna run?
OK,
then let's run. But it's not going to be easy and this no nonsense
program is not for the faint of heart. If you want to run with us, you
can't be a punk! Running a marathon is not for the weak bodied or for
the fragile spirited.
The physical part of running is only a
small portion of how far you can go. It's your mind that will carry you
past the physical obstacles. You will feel pain during your training,
but it's just weakness leaving the body. Don't cry. Just push through it
and stop whining!
If you want to earn that 26.2 bumper sticker,
this book will help you get it, but don't think you won't be pushed out
of your comfort zone. Comfort is the thief of progress. We don't want
to rob you of your progress, so we'll make sure you are anything but
comfortable. You may be in pain and you may be tired, but if you stick
with it, you'll be glad you did. There's nothing quite like knowing
you've accomplished a feat that makes you part of an elite group. It's
not every day someone runs 26.2 miles.
Written by a 12 year Army
veteran who trained soldiers to get fit, you won't find any sissy stuff
here. We concentrate on diet, choosing the proper clothing, training,
and most important: mental discipline.
So, if you're truly ready,
grab your sneakers, your water bottle and this book to get started.
Stay motivated, and stay disciplined. It's all worth it when you cross
that finish line. Besides, no one likes a quitter.

of his sister. He runs into his own kind as soon as the plane touches
