Dolphin shifter Rosana do Rio might be young and inexperienced, but her heart recognizes Adric as her mate.

She's ready. He shouldn't say yes, but he can't resist. But the fae prince has been spying on Adric and his sister, and now Rosana is a target, too... *A white-hot forbidden romance with alpha shifters, treacherous fae and a satisfying HEA.* THE FADA. Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals from a mix of fae, human and animal genes. They're ruthless, untamed—and when they love, it's forever. *BEST SHIFTER SERIES ~ Paranormal Romance Guild's Reviewer's Choice Awards* NOTE: All books in the Fada Shapeshifter Series are standalone with an HEA, but the clans, stories and people interconnect. If you crave dark shifters, dangerous fae and intense emotional storylines, this series is for you. EXCERPT: I'll be her first. Adric's chest squeezed. No other male had touched her. The primitive part of him reveled in that. He wanted to take her, long and hard. Imprint himself on her so that she'd always remember him. But he also wanted to take care of her. Show her how special she was. Caress her. Love her. He was a hard man. Some would say a cold-blooded killer. But he'd done what he had to, survived when a softer man wouldn't have—and saved his clan besides. For Rosana, though, he'd dredge up whatever tenderness he could. The wind had picked up. It whistled through the dunes, whipped her long black curls across her face. She captured her hair in one hand and beamed at him, her irises a deep sapphire in the fading light. "Race you back to the B&B." She took off down the street, surprisingly agile in the high-heeled boots. He blinked, and with a predatory grin, loped after her. His cougar loved a chase. He stayed behind her until they were almost to the B&B, because hey, watching that ass of hers wasn't a hardship. Then he lunged, grabbing her waist and swinging her into the air. She shrieked with laughter and grabbed his shoulders. Those long legs wrapped around his waist. "Beat you." He closed his teeth gently on her full lower lip and kept walking toward the B&B. "What do I win?" He hitched her higher and nibbled his way down her neck. "No fair." She angled her head so he could taste the tender underside of her jaw. "We didn't agree to anything for the winner." He reached around her to open the door to the B&B. The stairwell was silent, his animal-enhanced senses telling him they were alone in the building. He headed up to the second floor with Rosana wrapped around him like a sexy vine. He let his cat into his smile. "Where did you get the idea I play fair?" "A fun, rich read...

With such characters as the Doctor (an enigmatic time-traveling alien), Kerr Avon (a problematic rebel leader), Dave Lister (a slovenly last surviving human) and Captain Jack Harkness (a complex omnisexual immortal), these shows have both challenged and reinforced viewer expectations about the small-screen masculine hero. This book explores the construction of gendered heroic identity in the series from both production and fan perspectives. The paradoxical relationships between the producers, writers and fans of the four series are discussed. Fan fiction, criticism and videos are examined that both celebrate and criticize BBC science fiction heroes and villains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception in November 1963, the British science fiction television series Doctor Who has exerted an enormous impact on the world of science fiction (over 1,500 books have been written about the show). The series follows the adventures of a mysterious "Time Lord" from the distant planet Gallifrey who travels through time and space to fight evil and injustice. Along the way, he has visited Rome under the rule of Nero, played backgammon with Kublai Khan, and participated in the mythic gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Predating the Star Trek phenomenon by three years, Doctor Who seriously dealt with continuing characters, adult genre principles and futuristic philosophies. Critical and historical examinations of the ideas, philosophies, conceits and morals put forth in the Doctor Who series, which ran for 26 seasons and 159 episodes, are provided here. Also analyzed are thematic concepts, genre antecedents, the overall cinematography and the special effects of the long-running cult favorite. The various incarnations of Doctor Who, including television, stage, film, radio, and spin-offs are discussed. In addition, the book provides an extensive listing of print, Internet, and fan club resources for Doctor Who.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heirs of Remgeldon The southern half of northern Remgeldon, Thanos to Dakes, is to be searched for Lord Dariuss missing twins. At the same time, some of the provinces of southern Remgeldon, Pitzar, Drude, and Hogue are to be searched for the missing twins, and Dragon Lord Castles are founded and established by Darton, Waldon, and Adric these three years of 1559 through 1561. All old castles and all tall buildings that have deep basements are to be searched by the armies of General Mallan in the north and General Darvan and General Leland in the south. It naturally leads to some trouble, and it seems that Darton, Waldon, and Adric sure know how to find trouble. But will Zandrax and Adrianna be found? Will the twins be found? Can they be saved from whatever Zandrax, an evil mage, has planned for them? What of the black-haired elves? Darton comes upon a bunch of them. He thought they were all supposedly killed during the war to take over Thanos? Then there is Waldons old enemy, Casterson. What is he cooking up to make trouble for Waldon? And Waldon naturally has to call in his younger brother, Jovian, and his nephew, Bragan, to help but with what? Nothing but trouble awaits those four southern kings and Bragan and the dragon riders in that southern kingdom. Dragon riders are, after all, trained fighters.

Download or read book Religion and Doctor Who written by Andrew Crome and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctor Who has always contained a rich current of religious themes and ideas. In its very first episode it asked how humans rationalize the seemingly supernatural, as two snooping schoolteachers refused to accept that the TARDIS was real. More recently it has toyed with the mystery of Doctor's real name, perhaps an echo of ancient religions and rituals in which knowledge of the secret name of a god, angel or demon was thought to grant a mortal power over the entity. But why does Doctor Who intersect with religion so often, and what do such instances tell us about the society that produces the show and the viewers who engage with it? The writers of Religion and Doctor Who: Time and Relative Dimensions in Faith attempt to answer these questions through an in-depth analysis of the various treatments of religion throughout every era of the show's history. While the majority of chapters focus on the television show Doctor Who, the authors also look at audios, novels, and the response of fandom. Their analyses--all written in an accessible but academically thorough style--reveal that examining religion in a long-running series such as Doctor Who can contribute to a number of key debates within faith communities and religious history. Most importantly, it provides another way of looking at why Doctor Who continues to inspire, to engage, and to excite generations of passionate fans, whatever their position on faith. The contributors are drawn from the UK, the USA, and Australia, and their approaches are similarly diverse. Chapters have been written by film scholars and sociologists; theologians and historians; rhetoricians, philosophers and anthropologists. Some write from the perspective of a particular faith or belief; others write from the perspective of no religious belief. All, however, demonstrate a solid knowledge of and affection for the brilliance of Doctor Who.

Book excerpt: Get to know the eccentric alien known as the Doctor in this “out-of-this-world read for both Classic and New Who fans” (Library Journal). From his beginnings as a crotchety, anti-heroic scientist in 1963 to his current place in pop culture as the mad and dangerous monster-fighting savior of the universe, the character of Doctor Who has metamorphosed in his many years on television. And yet the questions about him remain the same: Who is he? Why does he act the way he does? What motivates him to fight evil across space and time? The Doctors Are In is a guide to television’s most beloved time traveler from the authors of Who Is the Doctor and Who’s 50. This is a guide to the Doctor himself—who he is in his myriad forms, how he came to be, how he has changed (within the program itself and behind the scenes) . . . and why he’s a hero to millions.
