Book excerpt: The Jews have returned to Israel after the Babylonian captivity, but now a new threat looms on the horizon. Holofernes, the wicked and conniving general of the Assyrian army, is sent to conquer all the world's temples, and now heads toward the Promised Land. But in Bethulia, the one city that stands between the Assyrians and Jerusalem, is Judith, the only woman with enough faith and courage to defend the Temple with her life. With her people dying of thirst, and the Assyrians stationed outside Bethulia's gates, Judith leaves the safety of the city and infiltrates the enemy camp to find and kill the sinister Holofernes. Only five days remain before Bethulia surrenders and Israel falls - within that time Judith must find the strength to overcome her past if she is to ever outwit Holofernes. A battle of wills is about to take place that will shape Israel's future forever.

Book excerpt: In Conquerors' Pride, Timothy Zahn, Hugo Award-winning author of the New York Times bestselling Star Wars(r) trilogy, unfurled an epic tale of drama and courage as the interstallar Commonwealth faced savage invasion by alien starships of unknown origin. Now he probes deeply into the world of the invaders themselves in one of the most powerful evocations of an alien society ever created. The Zhirrzh have won a temporary respite in their war with the barbarians. But the Human captive Pheylan Cavanaugh has escaped, and for that Thrr-gilag, the young Searcher, finds himself disgraced, his bond-engagement to a female of a rival clan imperilled. Soon he becomes a target of hidden and powerful forces seeking to remake Zhirrzh society in their own merciless image. His only hope is to prove that the overclan authorities are wrong: that it was not the Humans who started the war. But time is short. The forces of the Zhirrzh are overextended and face swift retaliation. The Zhirrzh have learned to conquer death itself -- but even that awesome power will be no match for the devastating might of the Human Conqueror armadas. Thrr-gilag soon comes to realize that his people face a two-fold threat: destruction by Human technology. . . or destruction from within.

Download or read book A Clerk of Oxford written by Evelyn Everett-Green and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1898 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My son," spoke a gentle voice from behind the low, moss-grown wall, "we must not mourn and weep for those taken from us, as if we had no hope." Face downwards upon the newly-made mound of earth lay a youth of some fifteen or sixteen summers. His slight frame was convulsed by the paroxysm of his grief; from time to time a strangled sob broke from his lips. The kindly-faced monk from the Priory hard by had been watching him for some time before he thus addressed him. Probably he now saw that the violence of the outburst was spent.

Download or read book His Captive His Conquest written by Ashe Barker and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I want her. She intrigues me, this fiery Scottish wench. I mean to have her. I shall survive. I will not weaken. This English lord can do as he will with me, but I shall never surrender. It is the year 1490. Stephen Parnell, Marquis of Otterburn, has been sent by Henry VII, the new Tudor monarch, to guard his northern shires against the ferocious Scots. Battle-hardened by years spent in the service of his king, Stephen is more than equal to the task and has no hesitation in hunting down the rievers who have laid waste to his people's crops. However, his skills as a warlord are no use to him when faced with the fiery little Scottish wench he captures in battle and decides to keep as his own, for a while at least. Flora MacKinnon is used to taking charge. Her ailing father needs her, and she is determined to do what must be done to serve her clan. She does not expect to be taken captive by a mighty English warlord and certainly does not intend to anger him so much that she finds herself lashed to a post awaiting a whipping. But events take an unexpected turn. Will the mighty Marquis of Otterburn follow his heart or his head? And, when tragedy threatens, can Stephen protect those dearest to him?

Download or read book Captives written by Linda Colley and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this path-breaking book Linda Colley reappraises the rise of the biggest empire in global history. Excavating the lives of some of the multitudes of Britons held captive in the lands their own rulers sought to conquer, Colley also offers an intimate understanding of the peoples and cultures of the Mediterranean, North America, India, and Afghanistan. Here are harrowing, sometimes poignant stories by soldiers and sailors and their womenfolk, by traders and con men and by white as well as black slaves. By exploring these forgotten captives – and their captors – Colley reveals how Britain’s emerging empire was often tentative and subject to profound insecurities and limitations. She evokes how British empire was experienced by the mass of poor whites who created it. She shows how imperial racism coexisted with cross-cultural collaborations, and how the gulf between Protestantism and Islam, which some have viewed as central to this empire, was often smaller than expected. Brilliantly written and richly illustrated, Captives is an invitation to think again about a piece of history too often viewed in the same old way. It is also a powerful contribution to current debates about the meanings, persistence, and drawbacks of empire.

Download or read book Encounter between Enemies Captivity and Ransom in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem written by Yvonne Friedman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating study examines the customs, legal codes, and socioeconomic mechanisms that evolved from the initial Christian-Muslim encounter on Crusader battlefields. It pinpoints changes in European mentality, and conduct of war, tracing acculturation processes in Frankish society in the Levant. These changes emerged from the need to redeem captives, making payment of ransom to the infidel conceivable and acceptable. The book pays special attention to the story of the vanquished, to the situation of women, to the behavior of the Military Orders toward captives, and to the image of the captive in Crusader literature, in the context of making war and peace.
