Book excerpt: Fifteen years ago, Rafferty saved Vivian Mollison from a crazed junkie who tried to blow her head off. A lot has changed since then. Rafferty's no longer a cop, and Vivian's now twenty five, studying sociology at SMU, with a father who made a fortune in computers. So when Rafferty gets summoned to the Mollison estate and told to chase down the five outlaw bikers who kidnapped Vivian and put her into a drug-induced twilight zone, it's mixed emotions. The payday will be big, but he'll have to earn every penny of it. The bikers aren't likely to come quietly and who knows how many people could get hurt in the crossfire. But behind all that fun and excitement, there's still a girl who needs his help. Rafferty saved Vivian once. Can he do it again?

Download or read book The Vote Collectors Second Edition written by Michael Graff and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2024-03 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2018, Baptist preacher Mark Harris beat the odds, narrowly fending off a blue wave in the sprawling Ninth District of North Carolina. But word soon got around that something fishy was going on in rural Bladen County. At the center of the mess was a local political operative named McCrae Dowless. Dowless had learned the ins and outs of the absentee ballot system from Democrats before switching over to the Republican Party. Bladen County's vote-collecting cottage industry made national headlines, led to multiple election fraud indictments, toppled North Carolina GOP leadership, and left hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians without congressional representation for nearly a year. In The Vote Collectors, Michael Graff and Nick Ochsner tell the story of the political shenanigans in Bladen County, exposing the shocking vulnerability of local elections and explaining why our present systems are powerless to monitor and prevent fraud. In their hands, this tale of rural corruption becomes a fascinating narrative of the long clash of racism and electioneering—and a larger story about the challenges to democracy in the rural South. In their preface to this second edition, Graff and Ochsner bring the story up to date, as accusations of voter fraud continue to pervade our national discourse. The Vote Collectors shows the reality of election stealing in one southern county, where democracy was undermined the old-fashioned way: one absentee ballot at a time.

Book excerpt: This huge novel, closer in scope to a Russian epic than to any English counterpart, opens at the turn of the century in the extreme poverty of the Rhinns of Galloway, an agricultural backwater of the southern-most part of Scotland. With a loving regard for the land and its people, Barke traces the lives of David and Jean Ramsay who, full of hope, painstakingly uproot themselves and their family in the search for prosperity. Their efforts to retain respect and a decent way of life are thwarted by unemployment in increasingly hostile circumstances, and a harsh environment inevitably leaves its mark. But a new generation emerges to question the authority of an uncaring society and, even as Fascism rages through Europe, a new hope is born. ‘Barke’s characters are both intelligent and spirited.’ Times Literary Supplement ‘An elegy for the old way of life.’ New Statesman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RENEGADE SMUGGLERS WAGE WAR AGAINST TYRANNY IN THE STARS In a dystopian future, the Algol solar system is humanity's new home, but oppression lurks in this seemingly utopian society. Follow war veteran Aly Erikson as she leads her ragtag crew of rebels and smugglers in a relentless fight for freedom against the ruthless Political and Capital Administration of the Advanced Worlds (the Admin) in this gritty military space opera saga. From space battles and intrigue to chases across hostile planets, CONTRACT OF DEFIANCE, CONTRACT OF BETRAYAL, CONTRACT OF WAR, and the series prequel novella CONVICTION deliver nonstop action and adventure. Erikson and her crew risk it all to resist the Admin's authoritarian regime, evade capture, and aid resistance movements, even when their defiance of tyranny places them outside the law. With liberty and justice at stake, these battle-scarred underdogs will stop at nothing to spark revolution in the stars. This epic sci-fi trilogy blends fast-paced action, political intrigue, and the timeless struggle against oppression, perfect for fans of The Expanse, Firefly, and Honor Harrington. When diplomacy fails, Erikson and her team must fight with everything they've got, knowing one ironclad rule: when all other options run out, never let go of your gun.
