Описание: Sapphires At War: conflict on several fronts: The unlimited American sapphire lode controlled by a great English jewelry company is engaged in a ruthless struggle with South Africa's De Beers diamond cartel to see who can place their necklaces and rings and tiaras around the most beautiful necks, fingers, and foreheads of European and Oriental elite. That struggle rages at a time when the Great War explodes across Europe and the Near East to spit out the broken bodies of millions of the finest of western civilization's young manhood and shutter the ostentatious castles and dwellings of the moneyed elite: those most likely to acquire costly gems. Set against that tide is an orphan boy from a remote canyon in far-off mountains of the American West; his mother a lovely half-caste, often thought to be a former slave, but strong-willed and self-sufficient with two gold claims of her own; his father a tough prospector and mountain man who, as chance had it, discovered the Yogo sapphire lode-perhaps the greatest gemstone discovery in world history. That discovery was haunted by death and greed, however, as others fought and killed for slices of the action. Jake Hoover could cope with murderous killers from the outside, but the tough mountain man was in over his head when it came to insider moneymen and their fleets of shyster lawyers. So the boy's father abandoned his fabulous discovery, his lover, and his own son for Yukon gold fields and another chance to strike it rich. Still a youth, Naseby Ringgold is falsely accused of stealing raw sapphire stones from the former mine of his father; he flees into the night with a burning hatred for the English company he believes has "stolen" his birthright. Eaten by a desire for revenge, the young man works his way to England and into the bowels of his nemesis, the great English gem firm of Johnson, Walker and Tolhurst, Ltd. And it is there that the young man consumed by hatred and a desire for revenge discovers a war within his own soul as hidden and unknown talents spring wide several gates to unexpected opportunity. Amid it all rages a second internal war of impassioned love exploding against requirements necessary for professional advancement for both Naseby and the beautiful woman he loves. It's a story that tests the patience and honor of both good and bad, strong and weak, those of good will and without. It's a tale whose issues are in doubt until the final pages.

Описание: Caught by a cloudburst on an open plateau, he squatted alongside his horse in the pelting rain until the sun at last emerged. While shrugging from soaked clothing and spreading them on nearby rocks to dry, the naked man caught the twinkle of blue glistening from the brown mud of a deluge-flattened marmot mound. When he held it, he chuckled at the way sunbeams reflected through the tiny stone's hexagonal prisms. As his clothes dried, still in his altogether, the man wandered from marmot mound to marmot mound, picking up additional queer blue stones until he held a handful. That's how Jake Hoover lucked into the most fabulous sapphire deposit of all time. Eventually, Jake filled a cigar box with the queer blue stones, showing them to his grubstake partner, S.S. Hobson, a Lewistown banker. Hobson, as puzzled as Jake, forwarded the box of stones to a Helena assayer for analysis. The assayer, as mystified as Hobson and Hoover but suspecting rough gemstones, sent the box to Tiffany's in New York for their appraisal. Tiffany's returned a check for $3,500, along with a letter describing the blue stones as ..". sapphires of unusually high quality." Hoover filed a series of lode claims along the sapphire-bearing dike, then he and grubstake partner Hobson took in partners for operating capital. Others wanted a piece of the action; enough so that greed became laced with murder from the outside and in-fighting on the inside. Jake could cope with murderous killers, but the tough mountain man was in over his head when it came to crooked money men and their fleet of shyster lawyers. Perhaps there is a God, however, as the financiers who robbed Jake Hoover, proved outclassed when they butted heads with an English gem cartel who believed a flood of New World sapphires could suppress the value of their jewels worldwide. YOGO is a story of a good man in luck meeting bad men with money who, in turn, must struggle with worse men with more money.

Despite their differing generations and backgrounds, the women are on a relocation collision course. As inept removal men deliver furniture - and even horses - to the wrong houses, other moves are being made ...Mo's bad boy lover takes Diana's eye, Anke's flirtatious husband immediately suggests Mo hop into bed with him - and Diana's local heart-throb brother comes joyfully face to face with the Danish ice-maiden he posted on his wall as a teenager.
As a long, hot Indian summer burns its embers into winter, the newcomers settle into their beautiful frost-hugged surroundings, generating enough heat to melt every heart in Oddlode. New passions ignite and old flames are fanned amid the honeyed villages, enchanted gardens, haunted parkland and raucous country social life. The heat is on, and sparks fly - but is this just a flash in the pan or is somebody fuelling the fire?
