Red Farlow travels to Camp Ridgemont for Boys for a reunion with his summer camp friends. On arrival, he discovers two camp counselors have been found in the woods, hacked to death. Red’s investigation soon widens with more mysterious deaths, one of them a close friend.

Far-right extremist Troy Unsworthy knows the hills and hollows after a lifetime of growing up in these mountains. Red soon learns all the victims are connected to Unsworthy in the years leading up to a deadly auto accident which put him in prison.

When he learns Unsworthy was released just before the counselors’ deaths, Red goes into the mountains. His trek requires sure-footedness over rocky terrain and old-growth forest as he explores caves with endless tunnels, shafts, and deep-water pools searching for his suspect.

But, did Unsworthy really murder these people, or should Red turn his attention to other suspects?

Red treads a treacherous path on his quest to find the killer and bring him to justice.

Nonfiction Feature: A Just Transition by NJ Ayuk #blogtour #bookreview #giveaway #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @nj_ayuk

 

Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix

 

Nonfiction, Energy

Date Published: 3/21/2023

Publisher: Made For Success

 

"Mr. Ayuk shows how the oil and gas industry can unleash economic development and prosperity across the continent." --The late OPEC Secretary General, Mohammad Barkindo

In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. And as our view of the world has expanded, there has been a rise in the demand for cultures and political institutions around the world to "think globally." While thinking globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results.

In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy Agency's ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the energy economies of Africa.

When the IEA set a hard requirement for countries around the world to embrace "green" energy sources, the burgeoning energy economies of Africa watched in horror as funding and business interest in their oil and gas energy projects evaporated.

With a natural abundance of oil and gas resources, Africa has the potential to be a global energy leader. But this transformation cannot happen for African countries through green energy alone. A Just Transition is an insightful exploration into the possibility of a bright future for African countries and the factors that stand in the way of its manifestation.

NJ Ayuk takes listeners on a detailed, expert journey through the following topics:

• The reality of energy poverty
• The value of natural gas in Africa
• How foreign aid actually harms Africa
• Embracing new technology
• Creating opportunities for women

 

And much more!

With thoughtful governance, a keen eye for opportunity, and the due consideration of the countries affected by a sweeping legislation, it is possible for countries in Africa to make a transition to renewable energy that is not only just but prosperous for all involved.

 

Review

This is a great look into bringing energy to less fortunate countries. So much progress has been made in the last few decades and the process is amazing. 

This is a great book that is informative and well organized. It brings everything it promises and gives us facts while also shining light on the future of energy.

Nonfiction Feature: Unlocking the Chronic Pain Code by Craig Zimmerman #promo #nonfiction #sportsnonfiction #rabtbooktours @LaserTechAZ @RABTBookTours

 

An Effective Pathway for Chronic Pain Relief Kindle Edition

 

Nonfiction / Sports Medicine

Date Published: May 14, 2023

Publisher: ‎102nd Place, LLC

 

 

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE WITH CHRONIC PAIN!

If you've tried traditional pain relief treatments and haven't found the relief you desire, this book is for you.

People with chronic pain are often told they must live with it. For many of you, this is simply not true! Most traditional care approaches are based on acute pain (recent injury) principles. These approaches don't always apply to chronic or persistent pain. Chronic pain can be more complicated than acute pain and often requires taking a different approach.

Dr. Zimmerman has spent over fifteen years researching the causes of chronic pain and has discovered a new, noninvasive path toward relief. It is a path based on treating the causes of your pain, not just the symptoms.

In this book, you'll discover:

• The five common causes of chronic pain

• Why prior treatments may not have been effective

• New, effective, and sustainable approaches to chronic pain relief

About the Author

Dr. Zimmerman has been treating pain for over thirty years. Throughout this time, he realized chronic pain was becoming a huge epidemic in America. In 2006, he decided to focus on new, noninvasive treatment technologies for chronic pain sufferers and has a reputation for helping the most difficult cases.

Dr. Zimmerman is certified in physical medicine modalities and therapeutic procedures, is a chiropractic physician, and has extensive experience and expertise in the multiple pain-relieving technologies he utilizes today.

Nonfiction Feature: God & I by Victor Victori #blogtour #nonfiction #selfhelp #rabtbooktours @RABTBooktours

The Pursuit of Wisdom, Knowledge, Spiritual Power, and the Minds of God Through Multiplism

 

Nonfiction / Spiritual / Self-Help

  

If art imitates life, this book imitates the artist’s mind. Specifically an artist that has surrendered most of their natural born life to the arts. As the decades change so does the style of the art and their philosophy of how they approach their medium. This book follows the artist’s transformation and expression of that art in correlation to the influences, both external and internal, over a lifetime of study. The influence is sometimes physical and direct, other times more seemingly abstract and metaphysical. And it continually revisits the question, how in control are we, or is there something bigger at work? Are we bound to repeat history or do we always have the power to change our path? The author provides anecdotes that seem to answer the text's questions directly, and at other times stir the ambiguity. At the same time, the format of the book as an anthology allows for it to rest on any coffee table and be cracked open at any page to enjoy a slice of the larger thought-pie.

Memoir Feature: Homeless to Hopkins, a memoir by Christopher L. Smith, M.D. #promo #nonfiction #memoir #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

 

 

Memoir

Date Published: January 2023

 

 

"I wish I could just die," I said to myself as my teeth chattered and my body shook with cold. Knowing I would probably still wake in the morning with my hair frozen to the door, I curled up in a ball, trying to find some warmth in the car that was my bedroom. Sadness consumed me like an infection; it had become the norm for me to wake up every day feeling broken.

Most nights like this, all I could hope for was to die in my sleep to be rid of the pain. Despite the terrible nights, I still woke up, dressed, and went to my only refuge, my high school.

This was my life, often alone, cold, sad, and hungry. My youth was different than most, but this was my reality.

However, despite the hardship that was my life and being homeless, something led me on, something saw me through. I survived, I found hope, and eventually, a life even better than I had imagined. Even though I so often faced darkness, I discovered light, laughter, and happiness.

I journeyed from that broken, homeless teenager sleeping in the car to eventually being a Medical Doctor at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins. But most important of all, I found me, I found joy.

This is my story.

Homeless to Hopkins.
