500 Exercises to Improve, Upgrade and Enhance Your Mind Strength (The IQ Workout Series)

The Complete Book of Intelligence Tests

“They didn’t have to kill him…He never drank from the altar of bones.” Cryptic dying words from a murdered homeless woman in present day San Francisco unlock a decades-buried secret that changed history. Now a pair of ruthless assassins are sent to cut the few living "loose ends." And a young, resourceful woman on the run encounters a determined man with his own connected past and vengeful agenda. Forced to partner for survival and answers, a fast-paced and deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, taking them across the globe from the winding streets of Paris to the faded palaces of Budapest to the frozen lakes of Mongolia...where destiny, passion, and further betrayal await them. The Altar of Bones has it all: The Russian mob. KGB spies. Presidential assasination. A doomed Hollywood legend. Deathbed confessions. Corrosive power. Shattered families. Guardians of an ancient religious icon housing a secret others will kill to possess. The dark promise of immortality. And it delivers on its ambitious premise to leave you stunned and breathless at the end.

Altar of Bones

Who built the humans?
Was it the work of future alien archaeologists?
Or perhaps the tormented dream of some deluded cyborg?
Is reality just a game, and are game files ever truly lost?
If we live in a simulation, does time travel become possible?

Within this book you will find 47 stories, each contributing to 11 distinct universes, each posing their own answer to the question "WHO BUILT THE HUMANS?" You will discover shapeshifting televangelists, talking crystals who hate anyone called Susan, the physical manifestation of your inner self, time travel (again), artificial afterlives, intelligent planets, bottleneck spacetimes, collapsing universes, poets that turn into black holes, black holes that turn into poets, shame machines that use those black holes for fuel, time travel, reincarnation cults, parallel universes, deceptive aliens, new Earths, old Earths, sarcastic living metaphors, robots who struggle to learn jokes, intersecting realities and the occasional probing.

"Non dovevano ucciderlo. Non ha mai bevuto all'Altare delle ossa " Poche, criptiche parole sussurrate in punto di morte da Rosie, un'anziana senzatet to di San Francisco freddata da un killer spietato. Nella bocca Rosie aveva tentato di nascondere l'unico indizio che avrebbe permesso di risalire alla famiglia Dmitroff, da sempre destinata a custodire le preziose e oscure virtù dell'Altare delle ossa maledette. Un segreto per il quale molti sono disposti a uccidere, dal KGB alla mafia russa a un miliardario americano la cui sete di potere e denaro non ha limiti. Un segreto per il quale nel corso dei decenni troppi hanno già perso la vita, anche personaggi in vista e all'apparenza intoccabili come JFK e Marilyn Monroe. Perché la posta in gioco è il più antico e smodato sogno dell'uomo: l'immortalità. Proteggere il mistero che consente di raggiungerla non è facile. Violarlo quasi impossibile. Tra omicidi, cacce all'uomo, enigmi e complotti, si snoda un thriller ad altissima tensione, in cui l'esoterismo di Dan Brown e il ritmo di Ludlum si fondono per regalarci nuove emozioni a ogni pagina.
