Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young man from the twentieth century is recruited to fight in a war that rages throughout time in this classic science fiction adventure from a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–winning master. College student, ex-marine, and martial artist Malcolm Lockridge is in prison awaiting his trial for murder when he receives an unexpected visit from an extraordinarily beautiful woman named Storm. Claiming to be a representative of the Wardens, a political faction from two thousand years in the future, Storm offers the astonished young man a proposition: freedom in return for his assistance in recovering an unspecified lost treasure. But it is not long before Malcolm realizes that, in truth, he’s been recruited as a soldier in the Wardens’ ongoing war against their rivals, the Rangers. And this war is different from any that has ever been fought, because the battlefield is not a place but time itself. Traveling backward and forward through corridors connecting historical epochs separated by thousands of years, Malcolm is soon embroiled in a furious conflict between the forces of good and minions of evil. But the deeper he is pulled into this devastating time war, the clearer Malcolm’s ultimate role in humankind’s destiny becomes, causing the troubled young soldier from the twentieth century to question whether he’s been chosen to fight on the side of good or evil . . . and if such a distinction even exists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Perry, that incomparable novelist of life in Victorian England, has once again surpassed herself, with this twenty-first installment of her New York Times bestselling William Monk series. In Corridors of the Night, nurse Hester Monk and her husband, William, commander of the Thames River Police, do desperate battle with two obsessed scientists who in the name of healing have turned to homicide. The monomaniacal Rand brothers—Magnus, a cunning doctor, and Hamilton, a genius chemist—are ruthless in their pursuit of a cure for what was then known as the fatal “white-blood disease.” In London’s Royal Naval Hospital annex, Hester is tending one of the brothers’ dying patients—wealthy Bryson Radnor—when she stumbles upon three weak, terrified young children, and learns to her horror that they’ve been secretly purchased and imprisoned by the Rands for experimental purposes. But the Rand brothers are too close to a miracle cure to allow their experiments to be exposed. Before Hester can reveal the truth, she too becomes a prisoner. As Monk and his faithful friends—distinguished lawyer Oliver Rathbone and reformed brothel keeper Squeaky Robinson among them—scour London’s grimy streets and the beautiful English countryside searching for her, Hester’s time, as well as the children’s, is quickly draining away. Taut with intrigue and laced with white-knuckled terror, Corridors of the Night is Anne Perry at her magnificent, unforgettable best.

Download or read book Sierra Leone s Corridors of Power written by Michael Nicolas Wundah and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sierra Leone's Corridors of Power paints an incisive picture of the brand of politics that have engulfed the African continent since the end of the Cold War. Taking the discussion beyond political theories, this is an investigation of the politics of Sierra Leone and the entire African continent. After the 1991 civil war, the vaulting ambitions of a dynamic young British Prime Minister and how they intersected with Sierra Leone's own political rattlesnake, President Kassan-and countless opportunities were missed.

Author Bio: Author and lecturer Michael Nicolas Wundah lives in Southwark, London. He was raised in Sierra Leone and was at the epicentre of politics in Sierra Leone prior to the 2007 elections. As a harsh critic of political corruption in his homeland, Michael Wundah's writing seeks to shed light on institutions that are deliberately structured to bring about agony, distress and tragedy.
