      <image:title>Books - THE STING OF THE BEE - Launch 4-4-2018!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Excerpt: The thin, crisp air stung John’s throat, and he squinted in the bright sun at the odd assemblage of humanity and vehicles sprawled around him. The Great Antarctic Land Rush banner hung between the temporary metal frame, the sides lined with crisp rows of UN flags. News crews from across the globe staked out the territory beyond the starting gate, aiming their cameras toward the homesteaders to capture the onset of the race. Everywhere, people waited; they played cards, talked, anything to pass the time. A group of miners from Antarctica huddled together, casting dubious looks at the invading cast of characters. He recognized a couple of competitors from the ship; the young Japanese man with an acne-scarred face and the tall, middle-aged Nigerian sporting a leather jacket. Misfits from around the world, willing to fight for a new life. Faces around him had a hungry look as they sized up the competition. They had waited a lifetime for this chance, and no one wanted to be too friendly with someone they might wind up killing later in the day.</image:caption>
