Craig accepts a mysterious stranger's invitation to hear a tale of colonial Burma—a race against divine retribution to recover a stolen sapphire stolen from the temple of Brahma. As Craig listens to the stranger's account of pursuing the thief Saigon Smith through the jungle, the line between mortal pursuit and supernatural vengeance grows terrifyingly thin, culminating in an ending that challenges everything Craig thought he understood about the nature of his mysterious visitor.

Mining For Gold

John Orr

A prospector learns the practical craft of finding gold in the American West, from spotting nuggets in dry creek beds to operating rockers and other labor-saving machines that beat panning by hand. John Orr's discovery of the fabulous Comstock Lode serves as inspiration as our guide explains the different methods miners have used to separate gold from stream beds and gravel. Whether you're dreaming of striking it rich or just curious about how the old-timers worked, this is a genuine how-to from someone who knows the trade.
