Searching for a future vaccine, Prudence finds that the various factions in the future time war intend to use the crisis to their own advantage. Can the team prevent an international pandemic across time, and put history back on its tracks? At least until the next battle in the time war... Praise for Alice Payne Arrives "Twisty time wars, highway robbery, 18th century lady scientists, queer joy. How could I not love this?

A playful, pointed, and brilliantly inventive remix of history that unfolds like the most fascinating puzzle box—each new twist and reveal a delight. Counting the days to the sequel." —S.L.

Working behind the scenes for the CIA, ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore arrives at a rendezvous to take charge of a high-ranking Taliban captive and barely escapes with his life. Undaunted, Moore is relentless in his quest to find the terrorist cell responsible, but what he discovers leads him to a much darker conspiracy in an unexpected part of the globe... After years of planning, the Taliban have come to terms with a vicious Mexican drug cartel and agreed to supply them with opium. For the cartel, the deal means money, power, and ultimate control of the drug trade. But for the Taliban, it is a long awaited opportunity: to exploit the cartels and bring the fire of the jihad to the hearts of the infidels, striking against the very heart of America.

Download or read book Psychological Interventions for Psychosis written by Juan Antonio Díaz-Garrido and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-27 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how psychological and social interventions can help people with psychosis. It brings together both theoretical chapters that contribute to the reconceptualization of psychosis and clinical cases illustrating how contemporary psychotherapeutic intervention models can be applied in the treatment of this mental health condition, with reflections, strategies and practical guidelines demonstrating how these models can inform professional practice in mental healthcare. Chapters brought together in this volume aim to reflect a paradigm shift in psychosis care. They present person-centered models that lead to a way of seeing, understanding and treating psychosis that is very different from the traditional biomedical model. Current authors and approaches are revolutionizing an outdated model trapped in purely pharmacological actions and tautological explanations of a biological nature, where symptom control is the basic and fundamental form of approach, and in which psychotherapeutic actions take second place as subsidiary to the former. Approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Acceptance and Recovery Therapy by Levels, Open Dialogue, Compassion-Centered Therapy or the Hearing Voices movement, to name but a few of those presented in this book, represent a journey of self-knowledge and learning for those recovering from psychosis, and have an intense transformative potential for the therapeutic team. The fundamental principle that guides this book is to share models belonging to psychology that aim at personal development while respecting the needs, values and goals of each person, and that can be adopted by any professional or student of clinical psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work or any other discipline searching for more humanistic approaches to treat psychosis.

Book excerpt: She was far away, this woman he'd been. He knew her child's and husband's names. He could see their faces. But Natalie was a ghost. Natalie Keller was a happy, attractive woman in the prime of her life: a mother and a wife. The kind of woman some people are jealous of. When a fatal car accident ends Natalie's life, a new technology allows her husband to bring her back. Except it isn't Natalie who wakes up over a year after the accident. It's Andrew. Andrew is not the only one who has returned from death profoundly changed, and he soon finds a group of misfits who share his fate. They include the brilliant and reckless Oz, who decides to make Andrew his project. The closer they become, the more Oz pushes Andrew into a carelessness that jeopardizes both of their lives. Having paid for the procedure, Natalie's husband Robert has control over Andrew's body and legal identity. In order to get his life back, Andrew must play a dangerous game, keeping Robert in the dark and preserving his own sanity until he can legally revoke Natalie's identity. But Robert is not the only threat. CryoLife, the company behind the new procedure, is eager to cover up any "mistakes". In a world where a new life is possible, there are still those who would tell Andrew and Oz how to live theirs. When the truth of who they are is on the line, what are they willing to sacrifice for their freedom? A dystopian sci-fi thriller for fans of Ann Leckie, Lila Bowen and Kameron Hurley.

Download or read book Path Word written by Zuniga Zanger Zuniga and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join Sally, Veronica, Tom, and Mora as they finish their last year of law school and unravel the mystery of the ghost texts: key portions of US law that suddenly, no longer exists. If someone was able to single-handedly revise US Law, could they change the path of history? Would it be a better world afterwards, or just a different world? The four friends, trade theories on economics, politics, the roles of men and women in the world, love, war and the inevitability of these; as well as why Veronica seems to know the people she meets before she's met them. It is life at the beginning of a new century, as unexpected as it is ordinary. Punctuated with poetry (collected at the conclusion of the novel) and diverted at times into dreams and fairy tales, Path Word takes you to another dimension, close in time, familiar in setting, but an escape nonetheless, to that realm where the duality of being there and not, is ever-present.

Download or read book On Leave written by Daniel Anselme and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-lost French novel in which three soldiers return home from an unpopular, unspeakable war When On Leave was published in Paris in 1957, as France's engagement in Algeria became ever more bloody, it told people things they did not want to hear. It vividly described what it was like for soldiers to return home from an unpopular war in a faraway place. The book received a handful of reviews, it was never reprinted, it disappeared from view. With no outcome to the war in sight, its power to disturb was too much to bear. Through David Bellos's translation, this lost classic has been rediscovered. Spare, forceful, and moving, it describes a week in the lives of a sergeant, a corporal, and an infantryman, each home on leave in Paris. What these soldiers have to say can't be heard, can't even be spoken; they find themselves strangers in their own city, unmoored from their lives. Full of sympathy and feeling, informed by the many hours Daniel Anselme spent talking to conscripts in Paris, On Leave is a timeless evocation of what the history books can never record: the shame and the terror felt by men returning home from war.

When his father came home he would ask, "Where is the Cager?" the name stuck. He followed in his father's footsteps, attended a university, law school, passed the Bar and joined his father's law firm. He gives up the practice of law to join the California Highway Patrol. The winds were at gale force and the rain was so hard and constant it was almost impossible to see during one of the worse storms in northern California. Cager answered a call to investigate a mountain accident. He couldn't believe it. A boulder had fallen on a car killing the driver instantly. The passenger, a beautiful woman, is barely alive. The oddity of the accident bothered Cager. When the storm subsides he returns to the scene, climbs up the cliff and finds evidence of foul play.

Homeland Security and the FBI become involved and form a Task Force to investigate Tudor's death. Jim Hunt, the FBI agent assigned to the Task Force, uses the vast technical facilities at Quantico to trace backgrounds, travel and bank account information on Tudor's business associates. During the course of the investigation, things start to happen. Cager's house, overlooking the ocean, is ransacked and he is being watched by a man in a small boat. Robert Tudor's wife, Ann, finds her cat crucified on her front door with a note pinned to its body, to give up Tudor's formulas or she would suffer the consequences.The Task Force which includes Cager determines Tudor's death was not an accident but murder. All clues point to possibly someone on the inside of law encorcement.

I look gorgeous.” From the classics to the grade–B slasher movies, over 11,000 quotes are arranged by over 900 subjects, like accidents, double entendres, eyes (and other body parts!), ice cream, luggage, parasites, and ugliness. Each quote gives the movie title, production company, year of release, speaker of the line, and, when appropriate, a comment putting the quote in context.
