Scorpions Ascent is an action-packed young adult novel that blends Iron Age archaeology with the thrill of Indiana Jones adventure. Tzakhi dreads being apprenticed to the smelting fires of King Solomon’s mines, but when his father is kidnapped, he has the opportunity to rescue him and demonstrate that he already has a different set of skills. Tzakhi’s father Nachshon is steward over the mines of the Arava, and Tzakhi’s older half brothers serve the fires. Tzakhi loves working with the animals of the caravansary at Tamar and learning desert craft from Captain Avi-dan, commander of the Tamar fortress. Tzakhi visits Scorpions’ Ascent, where he’d seen his older brother Salmah draw in a pack of wolves with his flute. He, too, draws in the pack with his shofar—a song his mother sang of an epic journey and wolves. When his father is kidnapped for his metallurgical skill by Hadad, Tzakhi tracks the kidnappers. A Torah teacher known only as the Levite gives Tzakhi a sword and a blessing that the ancient hornet of Moses go before him. Tzakhi finds the raiders’ camp at the suspected Mt. Sinai. Can Tzakhi use desert craft and the lessons he learned from Avi-dan and the Levite to cut them down? Scorpions Ascent takes a thriller turn, showing readers how the imagination and faith of the young can carve out solutions.
Scorpions of Southern Africa

Scorpions have captured the imagination of humans from early times, arousing a morbid interest that no doubt stems from their venomous tendencies. Misunderstood and persecuted as they often are, it is only relatively recently that we have begun to understand their complex behaviour and biology. This book, written by one who confesses to a passion for scorpions, describes in layman's terms the way scorpions' bodies are constructed, the strategies that enable them to survive harsh conditions, their use of venom and other aspects of their successful existence over millions of years. It will help amateur naturalists as well as professionals in associated fields to identify southern Africa's rich scorpion fauna and, it is hoped, will shed new light on these secretive creatures. The species included here are those most likely to be encountered. Many are readily identifiable with the naked eye and have very wide distributions. As far as possible, the book avoids complicated terminology and includes practical information on where to look for scorpions and how best to handle them.
Scorpions
Jonathan Landers was focused on two things in life, jamming with his high school friends in a death metal band and riding his quad runner through the Arizona desert. But when he crashes his quad runner, Jonathan finds himself in a desperate situation. Injured, dehydrated and without transportation, he must survive the journey on foot. Before he escapes the choking hot desert an earthquake hits the general area. In the following days Jonathan and his friend Kyle discover a mutilated animal carcass that suggests a predator of unnatural abilities. The nightmare unfolds when they encounter prehistoric creatures that have not walked the earth in five million years. With the annual biker fest just one week away in the neighboring city of Laughlin, Nevada, Jonathan and his friends find themselves in a desperate struggle to stop the event before the prehistoric scorpions... come out to play.
