Book excerpt: Sometimes, your safe haven turns into your worst nightmare... You can’t spend eternity among the stars. Sometimes, you need to dock to trade, refuel, refit. Sometimes, all you want is a bowl of good chili, a cold brew, and something to stare at except your ship’s steel bulkheads. Sometimes, that’s what you get. And sometimes, what you get is war. Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – needs a rest, and his ship needs repairs, discretely. What better place to head for than a trade hub where no one’s heard of him? But when the trade station erupts into civil war turning into genocide, the Warded Gunslinger can’t stand idly by... Last Stand at Rimont is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warp-stone ships roam the galaxy, and spaceports are full of scum, villainy, and people you really have no business saving. It’s got cowboys and crooked politicians, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera. Last Stand at Rimont is the third standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.

Download or read book A Duel Among Friends written by Filip Wiltgren and published by LVE Press. This book was released on 2024-04-17 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gunslinger on a mission of mercy. The friend willing to help him. And the noble who'd set them against each other. “No,” I told Riina. “Out of the question. I will absolutely not do it.” “You will,” she said, so softly that I had to lean in to hear. Nothing soft in her voice, though. It was like tungsten gravel laced with pure fluorine. “Not because I say so, not because you would do it anyhow if you just thought about it, but because if you don’t, everyone on board the Belithain will starve, and then they will freeze, and then they will suffocate. Think about that.” Jake – the Warded Gunslinger – doesn’t enjoy mingling with the rich kids. Not his style, not his battlefield. But when going begging from one of the Galaxy’s most notoriously thin-skinned group of nobles, he’d better shut up, dress up, and put up. Either that, or figure out how to gun down an entire planet. A Duel Among Friends is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warp-stone ships roam the galaxy, and too much money means slights of honor are settled with cold, hard steel. It’s got cowboys and touchy, gun-totting nobles, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera. A Duel Among Friends is the fourth standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.

Download or read book Eichmann The Man And His Crimes written by Comer Clarke and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eichmann’s crimes, so monstrous that the first accounts were dismissed as anti-German propaganda, resulted in the death of 6,000,000 men, women and children. To maintain secrecy, the Nazis gave him the rank of sergeant at the very time when he was supervising the murder of Austria’s Jews. Speaking Yiddish fluently, Eichmann often disguised himself as a Jew and deceived Jewish leaders into giving him the names of his future victims. In his extermination camps, Jews were forced to aid in the slaughter of their people. To those who cooperated he promised “decent burial.” Human life meant nothing to Eichmann; instead, he prided himself on the efficient operation of his death camps and spent months searching for a low-cost poison for his gas chambers. Comer Clarke, British correspondent, has spent much of the last two years in Germany and Austria, questioning war criminals and men behind the Nazi plans and terror. He has had access to secret S.S. dossiers and Nazi documents captured after the war. He has met men who knew Eichmann intimately, and traced the Nazi butcher’s activities in a blood-stained trail of murder that leads across Europe. Out of his investigations he has written EICHMANN: THE MAN AND HIS CRIMES, a full account of Eichmann’s monstrous past, his mysterious disappearance.

It is a time of great mourning and everyone, from noble to lowly peasant, is expected to pay their respectsincluding twelve-year-old Dasha, whose father has a high position in the Atlantean council. Unfortunately, Dasha could not care less, for she has never even met her father. As the people of Atlantis mourn their royal loss, they also must mourn the loss of one of their Aura humans, a revered human with special powers and the kings right hand. With his father now departed from Earth, Adume Anatrian is left with nothing but the sacred book of the Aura humans. With rebel strength growing every day, responsibility has now fallen on Adumes shoulders to find a solution to save Atlantis from destruction. Meanwhile, Dasha, ever-curious about what lies beyond the great walls of the city, ignores her mothers warnings and climbs over the wall to discover a world like nothing she has ever known. In this fantasy thriller, as Dasha and Adume begin separate, yet equally as dangerous adventures beyond the palace walls, neither has any idea of the darkness that awaits their great civilization.
Download or read book Lingering Bilingualism written by Naomi Brenner and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a famous comment made by the poet Chayim Nachman Bialik, Hebrew—the language of the Jewish religious and intellectual tradition—and Yiddish—the East European Jewish vernacular—were "a match made in heaven that cannot be separated." That marriage, so the story goes, collapsed in the years immediately preceding and following World War I. But did the "exes" really go their separate ways? Lingering Bilingualism argues that the interwar period represents not an endpoint but rather a new phase in Hebrew-Yiddish linguistic and literary contact. Though the literatures followed different geographic and ideological paths, their writers and readers continued to interact in places like Berlin, Tel Aviv, and New York—and imagined new paradigms for cultural production in Jewish languages. Brenner traces a shift from traditional bilingualism to a new translingualism in response to profound changes in Jewish life and culture. By foregrounding questions of language, she examines both the unique literary-linguistic circumstances of Ashkenazi Jewish writing and the multilingualism that can lurk within national literary canons.
