Download or read book Shattered Dreams written by Colin Burges and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shattered Dreams delves into the personal stories and recollections of several men and women who were in line to fly a specific or future space mission but lost that opportunity due to personal reasons, mission cancellations, or even tragedies. While some of the subjects are familiar names in spaceflight history, the accounts of others are told here for the first time. Colin Burgess features spaceflight candidates from the United States, Russia, Indonesia, Australia, and Great Britain. Shattered Dreams brings to new life such episodes and upheavals in spaceflight history as the saga of the three Apollo missions that were cancelled due to budgetary constraints and never flew; NASA astronaut Patricia Hilliard Robertson, who died of burn injuries after her airplane crashed before she had a chance to fly into space; and a female cosmonaut who might have become the first journalist to fly in space. Another NASA astronaut was preparing to fly an Apollo mission before he was diagnosed with a disqualifying illness. There is also the amazing story of the pilot who could have bailed out of his damaged aircraft but held off while heroically avoiding a populated area and later applied to NASA to fulfill his cherished dream of becoming an astronaut despite having lost both legs in the accident. These are the incredibly human stories of competitive realists fired with an unquenchable passion. Their accounts reveal in their own words—and those of others close to them—how their shared ambition would go awry through personal accidents, illness, the Challenger disaster, death, or other circumstances.

And she’s in someone else’s—a male’s—clothing. Then a rugged hot guy walks in. Now she realizes how lost she is. 2 Fear Wolf shifter Jeremy is haunted. He knew the woman wasn’t here, bleeding out in his arms. His blankets were shredded, as was the bed beneath them. He pushed the heels of his palms into his eyes. But the images of his nightmare remained seared into his mind. It wasn’t the first time he’d had that dream. The details changed, but it always ended the same—the woman dead before him. His woman. His mate. Dead. Scholar, folklore expert, and urban legend enthusiast Melanie Waters had chosen the southwestern corner of Montana. Lawless chaos reigned in the untamed vegetation. She hadn’t only trekked out here for the breathtaking landscape. She was hoping to find evidence of something far more interesting and darker. And dangerous. Out of the many stories that surrounded these mountains, there was one she’d latched onto, mostly thanks to an incident about a decade ago. She’d always had an interest in folklore and tall tales, thanks to the stories her mother told her growing up. But that night, oh that night, solidified her interest. Then the howling started. 3 Shadows Wolf shifter Derek spends his days healing other shifters and his nights dreaming about a woman who isn't real. One that returns to him nightly, only to leave him by morning with the knowledge that she isn't real. Ivy can't stop running. The moment she does, they'll catch up to her. Moving is key. Pain is a part of her every day life. Pain means she's still alive. Alive and able to fight back. She's forgotten how long she's been running this time. A day? Two? Three? She's losing count. She’d been born with a gift that had skipped the last few generations of her family. Her magic allowed her to travel into the dreams of others, create places such as this one, but she could also get inside a person’s head when they weren’t sleeping. Mess with their thoughts. Cause them pain. Cause them to go mad. Derek knows she's not real. She can't be. Yet she is. Is he losing it? Ivy has doubts. Had she reached out to a real person and gotten inside his head? She couldn’t have. Could she? 4 Change Get ready to embark on a journey of love, danger, and magic in this captivating shifter romance.

Download or read book Dangerous Dreams written by GK Jurrens and published by UpLife Press. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times best-selling author and top-selling Amazon author, Nick Russell, says, ”Nasty and nice! Good people in bad situations, and bad people in positions of power make ‘Dangerous Dreams’ an engaging romp. GK nails it.” Firing a vindictive serial killer is dangerous business, especially when that killer and the boss are also traitors. Between them, George Janis rides an emotional roller coaster. As a disadvantaged executive of a multinational company, this corporate climber evolves from a strong leader to a potential homicide victim, to a reluctant intelligence operative, to an avenging angel. With the help of his old friend, Sam Braxton, a retired executive of America’s intelligence community, they stumble onto a plot of international intrigue. How will they respond? Who will survive? John W. Stevens, President of the United States, recalls Sam Braxton to military service. The mission? Leverage Colonel Braxton’s unique off-the-books network, including George, to root out domestic and international leaders of a massive shadow organization. Their intent? Decimate American democracy for profit. Under White House direction, a covert military operation aims to neutralize a foreign government's massive attempts to subvert the American political process with the support of nefarious domestic operatives. Will they succeed?

Download or read book The American Imperial Gothic written by Johan Hoglund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The imagination of the early twenty-first century is catastrophic, with Hollywood blockbusters, novels, computer games, popular music, art and even political speeches all depicting a world consumed by vampires, zombies, meteors, aliens from outer space, disease, crazed terrorists and mad scientists. These frequently gothic descriptions of the apocalypse not only commodify fear itself; they articulate and even help produce imperialism. Building on, and often retelling, the British ’imperial gothic’ of the late nineteenth century, the American imperial gothic is obsessed with race, gender, degeneration and invasion, with the destruction of society, the collapse of modernity and the disintegration of capitalism. Drawing on a rich array of texts from a long history of the gothic, this book contends that the doom faced by the world in popular culture is related to the current global instability, renegotiation of worldwide power and the American bid for hegemony that goes back to the beginning of the Republic and which have given shape to the first decade of the millennium. From the frontier gothic of Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly to the apocalyptic torture porn of Eli Roth's Hostel, the American imperial gothic dramatises the desires and anxieties of empire. Revealing the ways in which images of destruction and social upheaval both query the violence with which the US has asserted itself locally and globally, and feed the longing for stable imperial structures, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of popular culture, cultural and media studies, literary and visual studies and sociology.
