In the spirit of the bestseller Fly Girls comes the definitive and compelling true story of Harriet Quimby, the first American woman to receive a pilot's license. In the early twentieth century, headlines declared that "the era of women has dawned." Against this changing historical backdrop, Harriet Quimby's extraordinary life stands out as the embodiment of this tumultuous, exciting era—when flight was measured in minutes, not miles. This untold piece of feminist history unveils Quimby's incredible story: rising from humble beginnings as a dirt-poor farm girl to become a globe-trotting journalist, history-making aviator, and international celebrity. With her tragic death in 1912 at the age of thirty-seven, her story faded, with her many accomplishments—the first woman to fly solo over the English Channel among them—overshadowed by major events, including the sinking of the Titanic. With black and white illustrations throughout, Fearless is the definitive biography of the first licensed female American pilot: one of the most inspiring hidden figures of history.

This collection bundles all 4 of Mel Odom’s blockbuster Left Behind: Apocalypse novels into one e-book for a great value! #1 Apocalypse Dawn From the decks of U.S. Navy carriers patrolling the Mediterranean to Fort Benning, Georgia, and the dusty sands of the Turkish-Syrian border, this suspense thriller runs side by side with the phenomenal series that has sold more than 50 million copies. Characters and situations are added to those from the Left Behind series to raise the tension to a fever pitch. With technical accuracy from the same people who create best-selling military thrillers, this series will satisfy the fans of the Left Behind series who are looking for more. #2 Apocalypse Crucible Danger and personal crisis on land, sea, and air combine with a level of spiritual warfare that is unparalleled in a Christian book. Crucible is a page-turning thriller that runs side by side with the phenomenal Left Behind series. The world is exploding in confusion and terror following the disappearances in book one. Meanwhile, Army Rangers and Marine Special Forces are struggling to keep the peace, while fighting spiritual battles of their own in the sands of Turkey and back home. #3 Apocalypse Burning First Sergeant Samuel Adams “Goose” Gander is on the front lines, fighting a battle against superior forces. Goose’s wife, Megan, is fighting for her freedom in a court case where all the facts seem stacked against her. Meanwhile, Chaplain Delroy Harte believes that the Rapture may have happened but can’t be sure until he has dealt with the demons of his past. #4 Apocalypse Unleashed In this a much-anticipated conclusion to the Apocalypse series, First Sergeant “Goose” Gander of the United States Army Rangers is in over his head, and he knows it. Trapped by the Rapture in the carnage of Middle Eastern war, far from his wife and kid back home, he’s living every day on the edge, afraid each moment might be his last, terrified that he’ll never see the people he loves again. The war on the Syrian/Turkish border is heating up, and the opposition armies and the local warlords are skirmishing for power in a no-man’s land filled with innocent victims that Goose hopes to protect. Goose soon discovers elements within his own forces, fearful of his leadership, are determined to bring him down. With everybody gunning for him, Goose is going to need a miracle to pull off his mission. Even as he struggles to believe in the God of miracles, Goose is about to discover the power of redemption and the bulwark of pure faith. And as the Hand of God closes over him and he accepts salvation, Goose Gander will finally find the peace he seeks, even as the war-torn land around him explodes in violence.

The plot of the book is built up on Spontendors sincere desire to find out the reason for the failure of a very memorable mythological character Icarus, his best friend, to conquer the Sun. The book is very knowledgeable and informative in its story development about how Spontendor managed to reveal the truth.
