First Impressions

First Impressions

By: Nora Roberts

The morning sun shot shaft of light over the mountains. It picked up the hints of red and gold among the deep green leaves and had them glowing. From somewhere in the woods came a rustling as a rabbit darted back to its burrow, while overhead a bird chirped with an insistent cheerfulness. Clinging to the line of fences along the road were clumps of honeysuckle. The light scent from the few lingering blossoms wafted in the air. In a distant field a farmer and his son harvested the last of the summer hay. The rumble of the bailer was steady dan distinct. Over the mile trek to town only one car passed. Its driver lifted his hand in a salute. Shane waved back. It was good to be home. [download]

Gabriel’s Angel

Gabriel’s Angel

By: Nora Roberts

Damn snow. Gabe downshifted to second gear, slowed the Jeep to fifteen milis an hour, swore and strined his eyes. Through the frantic swing of the wipers on the windshield all that could be seen was a wall of white. No winter wonderland. Snow pelted down in flakes that looked as big and as mean as a man’s fist. There would be no waiting out this storm, he thought as he took the next curve at a crawl. He considered himself lucky that after six months he knew the narrow, winding road from town so well. He could drive alost by feel, but a newcomer wouldn’t stand a chance. Even with that advantage, his shoulders and the back of his neck were tight with tension. [download]

Night Moves

Night Moves 

By: Nora Roberts

“What the hell are you doing in a place like this?” Maggie, on her hands and knees, didn’t look up. “C.J., you’re playing the same old song.” C.J. pulled down the hem of his cashmere sweater. He was a man who made worry an art, and he worried about Maggie. Someone had to. Frustrated, he looked down at the sable-brown hair twisted untidily into a knot on top of her head. Her neck was slender, pale, her shoulders curved slightly forward as she rested her weight on her forearms. She had a delicate build, with the kind of fragility C.J. had always associated with nineteenth-century English aristocratic ladies. Though perhaps they, too, had possessed endless stores of strength and endurance under frail bones and porcelain skin. [download]

Sepasang Pedang Iblis

Sepasang Pedang Iblis

Penulis: Asmaraman S. Kho Ping Hoo


Kuil tua itu berdiri di tepi Sungai Fen-ho, di lembah antara Pegu­nungan Tai-hang-san dan Lu-liang-san, di sebelah selatan kota Taigoan. Sunyi sekali keadaan di sekitar tempat itu, sunyi dan kuno sehingga kuil yang amat kuno dan sudah bobrok itu cocok sekali dengan keadaan alam yang sunyi dan liar di sekelilingnya. Biasanya, kuil ini kosong dan bagi yang percaya, tempat seperti itu paling cocok menjadi tempat tinggal setan iblis dan siluman. Akan tetapi, pada sore hari itu, ke­adaan di sekeliling kuil tampak amat menyeramkan karena ada bayangan-ba­yangan yang berkelebatan, begitu cepat gerakan bayangan-bayangan itu sehingga agaknya iblis-iblis sendiri yang sedang sibuk mengadakan persiapan sesuatu. Akan tetapi kalau diperhatikan, bayangan-bayangan itu sama sekali bukanlah setan melainkan manusia-manusia. [download]

Mutiara Hitam

Penulis: Asmaraman S. Kho Ping Hoo 

Jalan kecil itu menuju ke kota Tai-goan. Jalan yang buruk dan becek, apalagi karena waktu itu musim hujan telah mulai. Udara selalu diliputi awan mendung, kadang-kadang turun hujan rintik-rintik, sambung menyambung menciptakan hawa dingin. Seperti biasa, segala keadaan di dunia ini selalu men­datangkan untung dan rugi, dipandang dari sudut kepentingan masing-masing. Para petani menyambut hari-hari hujan dengan penuh kegembiraan dan harapan, karena banyak air berarti berkah bagi mereka. Akan tetapi di lain fihak, para pedagang dan pelancong mengomel dan mengeluh karena pekerjaan atau per­jalanan mereka terganggu oleh jatuhnya hujan rintik-rintik yang tak kunjung henti. Hujan rintik-rintik membuat jalan kecil itu sunyi. [download]

Istana Pulau Es

Istana Pulau Es

Penulis: Asmaraman S. Kho Ping Hoo

Kebiasaan lama (tradisi) yang dilanggar akan menimbulkan kutuk dan malapetaka bagi si pelanggar, demikian pendapat kuno. Padahal hakekatnya, semua itu tergantung daripada kepercayaan. Bagi yang percaya mungkin saja pelanggaran akan dihubungkan dengan sebab terjadinya suatu halangan. Sebaliknya bagi yang tidak percaya, juga tidak apa-apa dan andaikata terjadi suatu halangan, hal ini dianggap terpisah dan tidak ada hubungannya dengan pelanggaran tradisi. Betapapun juga, apa yang terjadi di Khitan, yang menimpa Kerajaan Khitan oleh semua rakyatnya dianggap sebagai kutuk para dewata oleh karena dosa besar yang telah dilakukan oleh Sang Ratu mereka!

The Lord of The Rings : The Two Towers – Dua Menara

Penulis: J.R.R. Tolkien

Aragorn bergegas mendaki bukit. Sesekali ia membungkuk ke tanah. Hobbit bisa berjalan ringan, jejak kaki mereka tak mudah dibaca, meski oleh Penjaga Hutan sekalipun, tapi tidak jauh dari puncak, sebuah mata air melintasi jalan, dan ditanah yang basah Aragorn melihat apa yang dicarinya. “Aku sudah benar membaca tanda-tandanya,” kata Aragorn pada dirinya sendiri. “Frodo lari ke puncak bukit. Apa yang dilihatnya di sana? Tapi dia kembali lewat jalan yang sama, dan menuruni bukit lagi.” Aragorn ragu. Ia ingin pergi ke takhta tinggi itu, berharap melihat sesuatu yang bisa menuntunnya dalam kebingungannya; tapi waktu sudah mendesak. Mendadak ia melompat maju dan berlari ke puncak, melintasi ubin-ubin besar dan menaiki tangga. Lalu, sambil duduk di takhta, ia memandang sekelilingnya. [download]

Twilight

Twilight

By: Stephenie Meyer

I’d never given much thought to how I would die — though I’d had reason enough in the last few months — but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something. I knew that if I’d never gone to Forks, I wouldn’t be facing death now. But, terrified as I was, I couldn’t bring myself to regret the decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.

New Moon

New Moon 

By: Stephenie Meyer

I FELT LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN ONE OF THOSE TERRIFYING nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can’t make your body move fast enough. My legs seemed to move slower and slower as I fought my way through the callous crowd, but the hands on the huge clock tower didn’t slow. With relentless, uncaring force, they turned inexorably toward the end–the end of everything. But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn’t running for my life; I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today. Alice had said there was a good chance we would both die here. Perhaps the outcome would be different if she weren’t trapped by the brilliant sunlight; only I was free to run across this bright, crowded square. And I couldn’t run fast enough. [download]

Eclipse

ALL OUR ATTEMPTS AT SUBTERFUGE HAD BEEN IN VAIN.
With ice in my heart, I watched him prepare to defend me. His intense concentration betrayed no hint of doubt, though he was outnumbered. I knew that we could expect no help – at this moment, his family was fighting for their lives just as surely as he was for ours. Would I ever learn the outcome of that other fight? Find out who the winners and the losers were? Would I live long enough for that? The odds of that didn’t look so great. Black eyes, wild with their fierce craving for my death, watched for the moment when my protector’s attention would be diverted. The moment when I would surely die. Somewhere, far, far away in the cold forest, a wolf howled. [download]

Dauglas Edward Cullen had to pee. Nerves, excitement and the Coke he’d had as part of his reward lunch at Mc. Donald’s for beeing good while Mama shopped combined to fill his three-year-old bladder to bursting. He danced, in exquisite torture, from the toe of one of his red Keds to the other. His heart was pounding so hard he thought if he didn’t yell really loud or run as fast as he could, he might explode. He loved when stuff exploded on TV. But Mama had told him he had to be good. If little boys weren’t good. Santa would put coal in their stocking instead of toys. [download]

All Together Dead

All Together Dead

The Shreveport vampire bar would be opening late tonight. I was running behind, and I’d automatically gone to the front door, the public door, only to be helted by neatly lettered sign, red Gothic script on white cardboard: WE’II BE READY TO GREET YOU WITH A BITE TONIGHT, AT EIGHT O’CLOCK. PLEASE EXCUSE OUR DELAYED OPENING. It was signed “The Staff of Fangtasia.” It was the third week in September, so the red neon FANGTASIA sign was already on. The sky was almost pitch-black. I stood with one foot inside my car  for a minute, enjoying the mild evening and the faint, dry smell of vampire that lingered around the club. [download]

I was making a neat arrangement of liquor bottles on the folding table behind the portable bar when Halleigh Robinson rushed up, j]her normally sweet face flushed and tear streaked.
