Jadines Battle (The Angel Sagas Book 3)
Chilling near-future SF with the thrills of a gritty cop procedural, Head On brings Scalzi's trademark snappy dialogue and technological speculation to the future world of sports. Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real and the crowds love it. Is it an accident or murder? FBI Agents and Haden-related crime investigators, Chris Shane and Leslie Vann, are called in to uncover the truth—and in doing so travel to the darker side of the fast-growing sport of Hilketa, where fortunes are made or lost, and where players and owners do whatever it takes to win, on and off the field.

Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths.

But beyond the edges of this peaceful farm, unimaginable forces of light and dark have been unleashed. Fallon Swift, approaching her thirteenth birthday, barely knows the world that existed before—the city where her parents lived, now in ruins and reclaimed by nature since the Doom sickened and killed billions.
Traveling anywhere is a danger, as vicious gangs of Raiders and fanatics called Purity Warriors search for their next victim. Those like Fallon, in possession of gifts, are hunted—and the time is coming when her true nature, her identity as The One, can no longer be hidden. In a mysterious shelter in the forest, her training is about to begin under the guidance of Mallick, whose skills have been honed over centuries. She will learn the old ways of healing; study and spar; encounter faeries and elves and shifters; and find powers within herself she never imagined.
And when the time is right, she will take up the sword, and fight. For until she grows into the woman she was born to be, the world outside will never be whole again. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape. The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread even faster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. Where there had been order, there was now chaos.
And as the power of science and technology receded, magick rose up in its place. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham, practicing in the loft apartment she shares with her lover, Max. Some of it is unimaginably evil, and it can lurk anywhere, around a corner, in fetid tunnels beneath the river—or in the ones you know and love the most.
As word spreads that neither the immune nor the gifted are safe from the authorities who patrol the ravaged streets, and with nothing left to count on but each other, Lana and Max make their way out of a wrecked New York City. At the same time, other travelers are heading west too, into a new frontier. Chuck, a tech genius trying to hack his way through a world gone offline.

And Rachel and Jonah, a resourceful doctor and a paramedic who fend off despair with their determination to keep a young mother and three infants in their care alive.
In a world of survivors where every stranger encountered could be either a savage or a savior, none of them knows exactly where they are heading, or why. But a purpose awaits them that will shape their lives and the lives of all those who remain. Left for dead on the nightmarish surface of the planet, Commander Michael Everhart and his team of Hell Divers barely escape with their lives aboard a new airship called Deliverance.
After learning that Xavier "X" Rodriguez may still be alive, they mount a rescue mission for the long-lost hero. In the skies, the Hive is falling apart, but Captain Jordan is more determined than ever to keep humanity in their outdated lifeboat. He will do whatever it takes to keep the ship in the air-even murder. But when he learns the Hell Divers he exiled have found Deliverance, he changes course for a new mission-find the divers, kill them, and make their new ship his own.
In the third installment of the USA Today bestselling Hell Divers series, Michael and his fellow divers fight across the mutated landscape in search of X. But what they find will change everything. Leading the expedition is legendary Hell Diver Xavier Rodriguez.
After enduring for a decade on the poisoned surface, his survival skills will be put to the test on the dangerous open seas. But storms, sea monsters, and the cannibalistic Cazadores aren't the only threat to X and his small crew. Their mission will uncover hard truths about the history of the war that left humankind stranded in the air for centuries. And the fate of those still living on the airships might very well rest on this fragile and perilous journey to find a new home.

Loungers were comfy and in abundance so no need to worry about the The upgraded decor and environment was another positive with plenty of areas to sit and relax if the sun gets too much or you're out of an evening. Entertainment is the usual 'old hat' singers and tribute acts Places of interest were pleasant with a nice stroll to the lighthouse in one direction and the town in the opposite direction but I would highly recommend you take your trainers and get up the Volcano Rojas that looks over the hotel. It's free and doable in about an hour and a half but would suggest a bit longer to take snaps of the wonderful views and soak up the experience of walking up, on and into a volcano.
The clientele are of the more mature kind with very few under the age of However don't let that fool you, while we were here there were 2 fights Suffice to say there were a few ejections from the hotel And that's it really I'm just not getting it.

What is all the fuss? If you take the room saga out of the review all you get is an average holiday with average food, average service and a rather dated experience with up to date decor. Not for us and we won't be returning to join the others who have made it their second home for the last 20 years. Perhaps the reasons why the reviews are so good is because the benchmark for most is in comparison to the same hotel last year by the same people? Old habits die hard appears to be the characteristic for most who stay at the timanfaya palace Cue the unprofessional managers response Dear Nicsker, "Cue the unprofessional manager's response This reminds me of my children when they were young boys, did something wrong and knew in advance that they could get my reprimand.
Do you feel the same?. I'll tell you what happened to me 3 weeks ago, and maybe, or not, you can see yourself: I was thinking of buying a new one. I was thinking of the new FGS. When I arrived I saw the new GS.

I tried it and was so unhappy!!! How is it possible that you sell this bad motorbike?. The seller told me: When we have availability, and someone is not happy with the room, we can change it, but always to the same category, never give a free upgrade. I see your age: And, maybe, my 60 years old guests are not used to traveling so much as you, and don't have the life experience in good hotels as you have. Yes, you cannot imagine how often they tell me that this was the first time they travel abroad Yes, this should be normal, I think, we don't know as we don't have huge experience They are here not only for the salary, but they are also here because they have a vocation Shame that you don't want to come back to our hotel, I'm sure you'll find your right product to enjoy your holidays, as experienced travelers you'll find out in advance very carefully the type of hotel that you reserve, because of the 5 hotels that you have been in, only in one you were happy.
Just returned on Tues 30th. Quiz nights still good, managed to win music night one night, a bonus after runner up on numerous evenings. Quality products are purchased in first instance and cooked well, turkey, pork roasts, fish on the hot griddle, and the hot buffet dishes mean always something to suit. The building structure is well maintained, as are the gardens. Always clean inside and out. Reception staff always helpful and glass of cava at check in still provided. The age group of guests is getting younger, plus a lot more All Inclusive types, and we did suffer from noisy neighbours on more than one occasion, with a full blown row at 2am.

Reception said that they were leaving when I complained, and said to contact reception in future and they will attend. We had issue with type of room booked via H10 website, despite paying extra for a sea view, on arrival told it was a basic room, not what we needed and not correct. I had not brought the pencil notes with me, merely the booking print off for the reservation. The H10 web site page which shows the prices for the various type of room, does not print, so beware, and check your reservation print off shows the correct room type.
I am currently awaiting a response from head office at H10 on this dispute. Second point for interest, although we booked with TUI, the flight was by Norwegian. The hotel had given us an upgrade to a pool view room under the loyalty scheme, but it was still not what we had paid for, and we would have enjoyed an even higher level of accommodation with the loyalty upgrade.
Moral is I think to book direct with the Timafaya and not go through the H10 website. Only 3 minor criticisms: The hot water provided at breakfast, poss already in the tea pots in readiness at busy times, is not hot enough to make a typical good cup of tea. The pool area toilet inner door on the gents is in need of a very good clean, both outer and inner edges are black with grease!!!
There is a rule on not reserving sunbeds before 9. Our stuff was gone, they feigned complete surprise, said that you were not allowed to reserve the sun beds, yet the next morning at 7. Without doubt, they either had the pool guy remove our stuff and store it in the dive centre, or one of them took it there. Our stuff was the only items in the dive centre, so what about the other 40 plus chairs reserved that particular morning.
All in all, would we return again, it has to be a Yes Used First Travel for Airport to resort and return journey, first time experience, absolutely brilliant.
