Download or read book Secrets of the Sword 2 written by Lindsay Buroker and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten years, I've been using a magical sword that I won in battle to ruthlessly slay enemies, break evil artifacts, and open stubborn pickle jars, but I don't know much about it. That's about to change. Thanks to the fact that I'm dating a powerful dragon, I can get a ride to the dwarven home world, and we're going to research the sword's roots. Not that I care much about its history, mind you, but several allies and enemies have suggested it can do a lot more than whack things. Considering the magical bad guys I fight are always stronger, faster, and more powerful than I am, I need every advantage I can get. There's just one problem: a half-dwarf thief has shown up and says she's the rightful heir to the sword. I want to believe it's a scam and can't possibly be true, but I didn't get the sword in the most legitimate manner. If I have to give it up, I might not be able to do my job anymore, and just as bad, I'll be a target for all the bad guys who have been waiting for an opportunity to take me down.

Book excerpt: After helping my steady dragon Zav with his family problems, I thought life would get back to normal. As normal as it can be when you're a hit woman responsible for hunting down bad guys.That was before a strange artifact showed up in a bog and turned my ancient dwarven sword into a magical beacon. Now my enemies can sense it from hundreds of miles away. More than that, every club-toting, over-muscled orc, ogre, and troll who would like a magic sword can sense it.Usually, fighting off opportunists wouldn't be a problem (they don't call me Ruin Bringer without reason), but even I can only handle so many attacks at a time. And Zav isn't as much help as you'd think, since he's busy on a quest for a ring.No, it's not a Lord of the Rings kind of quest. My boss put it in Zav's head that since we're mated in the dragon way, we should also be married in the human way. Now, he's off to find the perfect engagement ring. Given his taste in human footwear, I may be in trouble for more reasons than my marked sword.Not only is there no chance of my life getting back to normal any time soon, but if I can't figure out how to fix my sword, I'll be dead long before I can get married.

Download or read book Remarkable Creatures written by Sean B. Carroll and published by HMH. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: A biologist’s “thoroughly enjoyable” account of the expeditions that unearthed the history of life on our planet (Publishers Weekly). Not so long ago, most of our world was an unexplored wilderness. Our sense of its age was vague and vastly off the mark, and much of the knowledge of our own species’ history was a set of fantastic myths and fairy tales. But scientists were about to embark on an amazing new era of understanding. From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Big Picture, this book leads us on a rousing voyage that recounts the most important discoveries in two centuries of natural history: from Darwin’s trip around the world to Charles Walcott’s discovery of pre-Cambrian life in the Grand Canyon; from Louis and Mary Leakey’s investigation of our deepest past in East Africa to the trailblazers in modern laboratories who have located a time clock in our DNA. Filled with the same sense of adventure that spurred on these extraordinary men and women, Remarkable Creatures is a “stirring introduction to the wonder of evolutionary biology” (Kirkus Reviews). “Charming and enlightening.” —San Francisco Chronicle “As fast-paced as a detective story.” —Nature

Book excerpt: The year is 2280.More important than the date, the lifestyle of relative peace and plenty beyond any envisioned by humankind defined the era of Null world. All thanks to the energy crystals found in the Crystal Prime dimension. Crystals that provided a seeming unlimited supply of energy for Null inventions. Null had science, but Crystal Prime had magic. For over two hundred years, since the discovery of the alternate dimension, the Corporation controlled trade and transfers between the realms. Few people were allowed the amazing opportunity to make the hugely expensive transfer, though the holofeeds and stories kept the adventure of the fantasy realm that was Crystal Prime alive in the public's mind.But something changed. The Corporation asked the five conglomerates of the world to produce five of their very best for a new transfer procedure, one that would give capabilities beyond anyone's wildest dreams. For ten years the program to find these five candidates had met with sabotage and assassination. Three months before the candidates were to be sent, they were taken out in terrorists acts like the world hadn't seen for hundreds of ears. In desperation the Corporation turned to the forecasting software that had been giving the chilling news of yet another dimension, hostile and hungry. This software gave them the names of five men and women as the most effective candidates to battle the unknown.Liam Williams the Retired Engineer - Transfer to - Razor the Battle MageZoe Robertson the Retired Biologist - Transfer to - Shadow the ElfAlexander Morgan, Ret Army General - Transfer to - Cap the DwarfSophia Morgan, Psychologist - Transfer to - Raptor the AngelDr Riley Watson, Geneticist - Transfer to - Doc the ChangelingThey will be expected to learn enough of the magical realm to defy the odds.

Download or read book Balanced on the Blade s Edge written by Lindsay Buroker and published by Lindsay Buroker. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonel Ridge Zirkander isn’t the model of military professionalism—he has a tendency to say exactly what’s on his mind, and his record has enough demerits to wallpaper the hull of an airship—but as the best fighter pilot in the Iskandian army, he’s used to a little leniency from his superiors. Until he punches the wrong diplomat in the nose and finds himself issued new orders: take command of a remote prison mine in the inhospitable Ice Blades Mountains. Ridge has never been in charge of anything larger than a flier squadron—what’s he supposed to do with a frozen fortress full of murderers and rapists? Not to mention the strange woman who shows up right before he arrives… Sardelle Terushan wakes from three hundred years in a mage stasis shelter, only to realize that she is the last of the Referatu, the sorcerers who once helped protect Iskandia from conquerors. Their subterranean mountain community was blown up in a treacherous sneak attack by soldiers who feared their power. Everyone Sardelle ever knew is dead, and the sentient soulblade she has been bonded to since her youth is buried in the core of the mountain. Further, what remains of her home has been infested by bloodthirsty miners commanded by the descendants of the very soldiers who destroyed her people. Sardelle needs help to reach her soulblade—her only link to her past and her last friend in the world. Her only hope is to pretend she’s one of the prisoners while trying to gain the commander’s trust. But lying isn’t her specialty, especially when the world has changed so much in the intervening centuries, and if Colonel Zirkander figures out who she truly is, he’ll be duty-bound to sentence her to the only acceptable punishment for sorcerers: death.
