Book excerpt: "I like authors that aren't afraid to embrace strong female leads." -- Krissy's Bookshelf Reviews on Chalvaren Rising It's never just another day at the office . . . Demigod Samantha Silverton, a full-time monster hunter in the Hunters' Watch Brigade, is on a mission with her familiar, Max, to hunt down a scorned mermaid when she finds out she has bigger fish to fry. Her mother--a powerful witch--has been abducted. And the most likely villain is her mother's enemy, Francesca Rosencratz. Being a familiar to a sexy monster hunter has its perks, but Max wants more. He might look like a cat, but he's also Sam's best friend . . . and the man who loves her. But in order to defeat Francesca, he'll have to shift into his human form, something he's avoided. Because once he's officially a shifter, he'll have to join the Brigade. And that could take him away from Sam for good. But Francesca's becoming increasingly dangerous. She and a mysterious ally are working to take down the Brigade, and take over the paranormal community. Sam will have to dig deep if she's going to save her mom. But Max will have to risk even more . . . to save Sam. When supernatural creatures go rogue, who are you going to call? The Hunters' Watch Brigade!

Book excerpt: "A truly remarkable literary piece you would love from beginning to end."--Bibliophile Angel Reviews on Hunters' Watch Brigade: Initiation A demigod's work is never done . . . All monster hunter Samantha Silverton wants is a little R&R. She and her sexy partner/cat shifter Max have a week off in the city that never sleeps, and she intends to enjoy it. But before she can pack her suitcase, she's caught up in the middle of a wicked game--a smartphone app driven scavenger hunt that's bringing all the big, bad supernaturals to NYC to play. The bad part? The game was the brainchild of Alex Van Dam--Sam's first love. What's worse? She has to play alone. Maximillion Ra hasn't quite got a handle on his unique shifter magic yet. He's in love with Sam, but if he's ever going to be any good to her, he has to face his family's curse. But how can he leave Sam now, especially with her old flame in the picture? Alex Van Dam isn't interested in who wins his game. He just wants to find the final prize--an ancient Greek relic. Once he has it, he'll use the artifact's magic to control all the supernaturals in Manhattan, starting with the Hunters' Watch Brigade. Only Sam stands in his way. And without Max by her side, even the monster hunting daughter of Poseidon has to wonder if she stands a chance . . .

Book excerpt: The Silurian Period, approximately 420 million years ago. A time even before the dinosaurs. Evolution was just beginning to flex its muscles, and on land and in the sea, new creatures were evolving. In this strange world arrive a team of time-travelling North Korean agents with one goal - change the past and alter the future. And if they are successful, the United States may never exist. Following them back in time are Alex Hunter and his team of elite HAWCs. And for Alex, this mission is personal. In this strange primordial world, the HAWCs find lifeforms that defy description and test the bounds of reality, or sanity. Things that evolution created and then cancelled. Or perhaps something entirely out of this world, that time wisely kept hidden from us. Until now. Alex Hunter, The Arcadian, is in a race to save his team, his country, and the people he loves the most, his family, and literally bring them back from the dead. And pity anyone or any thing that gets in his way.

Download or read book The Investigative Brigade written by Pascale Bonnefoy Miralles and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the seventeen-year Pinochet dictatorship, more than three thousand Chileans were murdered or disappeared without a trace. In 1991, a year after the brutal military regime ended, the new civilian government tasked the nation's detective force to investigate these crimes. Chilean journalist Pascale Bonnefoy tells the dramatic story of the detectives who hunted down and attempted to bring human rights violators to account. Led by a tiny group called Department V, the effort took place in the context of a frail transition to democracy and while the force itself was undergoing profound reforms. With Pinochet still in charge of the army, a center-left government tested how far it could go to bring criminals to justice without risking military backlash. To uncover this story, Bonnefoy gained the trust of detectives assigned to the cases and drew on their direct testimony. She excavated investigative files, witness testimony, and previously secret documents that helped her chronicle the dedicated brigade's dangerous mission. While substantial justice and institutional change took another decade to kick in, the detectives' work made it possible. Still unfolding, the post-Pinochet example is admired by many working for transitional justice around the globe.

Download or read book The Antique Drums of War written by James H. McRandle and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian McRandle contends that war is a deep-rooted human institution, like marriage and food sharing, that depends on ritual and myth. He began his inquiry after being struck by the similarity of letters from common soldiers as long as 2,000 years ago, and has mustered evidence from psychological concepts, literature, and studies of animal behavior. He suggests that soldiers raping conquered women, rather than an atrocious side effect of war, may be its fundamental purpose. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncommon Valor is a look into the formation and operation of an advanced Special Forces recon company during the Vietnam War. Code-named the Studies and Observations Group, SOG was the most covert U.S. military unit in its time and contained only volunteers from such elite units as the Army's Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and Air Force Air Commandos. SOG warriors operated in small teams, going behind enemy lines in Laos and Cambodia and along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, tasked with performing special reconnaissance, sabotaging North Vietnamese Army ammunition, attempting to rescue downed U.S. pilots, and other black ops missions. During that time, Forward Operating Base-2's (FOB-2's) recon company became the most highly decorated unit of the Vietnam War, with five of its men earning the Medal of Honor and eight earning the Distinguished Service Cross-America's second highest military award for valor. Purple Hearts were earned by SOG veterans at a pace unparalleled in American wars of the twentieth century, with casualties at times exceeding 100 percent. One, Bob Howard, was wounded on fourteen different occasions, received eight Purple Hearts, was written up after three different missions for the Medal of Honor, and emerged from Vietnam as the most highly decorated soldier since World War II's Audie Murphy.

Book excerpt: Can the hope of the world survive? Has our shining City on a hill lost its luster? Is Lady Liberty just a jaded icon of bygone days? Has the torch by the sea been extinguished? On a bend of the Congaree River outside Columbia, SC, a well-developed militia has been hewn from 200 hundred acres of virgin forest of the Congaree Preserve. They fly the ubiquitous Stars and Bars of the Confederacy. It is land locked on three sides by the national forest and accessible only by boat. A large barge and a flotilla of boats service the unit. High Crimes and Treason are afoot. Jiggs Malone an officer unjustly cashiered out of the Army under a cloud, accidently hits and kills the daughter of the Palmetto Brigades commander. He is caught up in the nationwide Militias planned uprising against our duly constituted government. They view the Second Amendment as a right to keep and bear arms for protection against a government that has overreached its constitutional authority. The hand of Destiny has dealt Jiggs a chance to redeem himself and remove the cloud of dishonor hanging over his head. Bold and diabolical attacks are coordinated to hit chemical plants, gasoline refineries, both nuclear and fossil fuel generating plants. America is in flames as the President looks out from the Oval Office. The novel rests with an audacious attack on the venerable George Washington Bridge. If the terrorist can lay the span of the George in the murky waters of the Hudson River, they will achieve a major coup. Can the attacks be foiled as Jiggs is reunited with his former comrades, who serendipitously execute a low level drop at dusk, as he returns from reconnoitering the militia? Can our democratic government, the envy of the world, prevail?

Download or read book Prison Masculinities edited by Don Sabo Terry A Kupers and Willie London written by Donald F. Sabo and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the frightening ways our prisons mirror the worst aspects of society-wide gender relations. It is part of the growing research on men and masculinities. The collection is unusual in that it combines contributions from activists, academics, and prisoners. The opening section, which features an essay by Angela Davis, focuses on the historical roots of the prison system, cultural practices surrounding gender and punishment, and the current expansion of corrections into the "prison-industrial complex." The next section examines the dominant or subservient roles that men play in prison and the connections between this hierarchy and male violence. Another section looks at the spectrum of intimate relationships behind bars, from rape to friendship, and another at physical and mental health. The last section is about efforts to reform prisons and prison masculinities, including support groups for men. It features an essay about prospects for post-release success in the community written by a man who, after doing time in Soledad and San Quentin, went on to get a doctorate in counseling. The contributions from prisoners include an essay on enforced celibacy by Mumia Abu-Jamal, as well as fiction and poetry on prison health policy, violence, and intimacy. The creative contributions were selected from the more than 200 submissions received from prisoners. Author note: Don Sabo, Professor of Social Sciences at D'Youville College in Buffalo, is author or editor of five books, most recently, with David Gordon, Men's Health and Illness: Gender, Power, and the Body and, with Michael Messner, Sex, Violence, and Power in Sports: Rethinking Masculinity. Sabo has appeared on The Today Show, Oprah, and Donahue. Terry A. Kupers, M.D., a psychiatrist, teaches at the Wright Institute in Berkeley. He is the author of four books, editor of a fifth.
