Download or read book Blue Fire written by Huda Orfali and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 1999-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blue Fire is comprised of two parts; short stories and poetry. Almost invariably, the pivotal thematic concern of the short stories is the precariousness of the human condition balanced by the resilience of the human spirit trying to outdo life at its own game. The stories constitute a poignant representation of human beings seeking to pick up the shattered rainbows of their lives. The creative impulse for the poems is equally idealistic and humanitarian for the large part. The poems are predominantly concerned with social and political issues that contribute to universal well being and to the common good. Stylistically, the stories have a charming simplicity and economy. They are woven around sparsely plotted situations. That Huda Orfali empowers us with a purer vision of our humanity at a time when violence, apathy, and corruption threaten to devour it leaves behind the gray ashes of a world is an impressive achievement.

Download or read book Andreas Prime the Legend Home written by Charles Nickerson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been 12 months since Beary has arrived at the Academy from his tour aboard the Saber Claw. He enjoyed teaching the classes he had been assigned. At first, some of the older cadets resented the fact that their instructor was younger than they were. Then they would see the ribbons on his uniform and hear the rumors. Ben, of course, helped spread them. Flight training was going well. His many hours in jump ships were proving to be a blessing instead of a curse. He expected to graduate early from flight training. Caesar had spent six months at the academy then shipped off to aid a hospital ship that had lost one of its surgeons to an accident. The Hospital ship was trying to combat a new disease that had cropped up on an agricultural colony in the Darius system. Once again, his work under Dr Maxumus was proving invaluable. Ben, along with taking accelerated classes, was teaching a class in survival and weapons. Ben had taken to this task with enthusiasm. With the help of two of the Marine Professors, he wrote the training manual for the course, which they used as a major project in two of his classes. The class he taught was so popular there was a waiting list. Pompey kept busy trying to prepare for the cub, which was due in three months, running two homes, plus working for her new father- in- law on special issues. Senator Maxumus was busy trying to get the Senate to strengthen its rules. He did not want to see new conspiracies flair up. The idea that eight senators some in critical positions could become traitors had shaken the Senate. The Bearilian house of Representatives was demanding a full and open investigation as it scrutinized its own members. The Arcrilians had suffered such a devastating defeat that they were asking for terms for a treaty and for aid. The Bearilian President immediately started negotiations along with the Antillean Supreme Council. The result was the removal of all Arcrilian ships from Bearilian and Antillean territory, in exchange for food and raw materials purchased at a reasonable price. For the Antilleans this was a big win. For Angelina Maxumus the last 12 months had been hectic as she tried to balance her time between Bearilia Prime and Andreas Prime. She enjoyed being a Neuro-surgeon a lot more than being an Empress. She even found that she had to show up at State functions not as a wife of a prominent Senator, but as a Head of State. There had also been a need to appoint representatives to the two Bearilian Houses. One of her second Brother's sons, Iacomus Augustus, had joined his cousins on Andreas Prime. He found some unclaimed land near the western ocean connected to the Augustan land. A young Dragon, Silver Tail agreed to be his Family Dragon. The Dragon Counsel suggested that he be appointed as the Planet's Senator. A young nomad also moved to Andreas Prime. He had no family or land. A young Dogon, Saraina, approached the Dogon Counsel and asked that this young Nomad be given its sheep and become its family. His name was Khristophoros. The Dogon Counsel gave him the last name Theodoros. Khristophoros Theodoros was called before Angelina. She questioned him for several cycles. She found out that he had been part of a servant family to the Pompaius family. She found goodness and strength in this young Bear. After talking with both counsels, she appointed him to the House of Representatives. He would prove to be a loyal and excellent choice. Savato Artemus was not happy. He loved the Crimson Blade but he could not find a gunner that met his standards. He also missed his friends. Captain Centaurus found he hated the paper work of a ships captain as much as Atilus had. Yet he loved the Saber Claw, especially with the new upgrades. Commodore Atilus was a taskmaster with his Destroyer Squadron. Only Centaurus had no complaints. Yet Destroyer Squadron 9 was shapin

Book excerpt: FIRE IN THE OCEAN is a unique integration of Christianity and Greco-Roman Mythology figures paired seamlessly together to form an original concept called Christi-ology. Set in a fictional realm (Heaven) during the 16th century Renaissance Era, a magical story unfolds in this world that is meticulously tailored to suit the every need of the Higher Powers who reigns supreme. The mystical location is a parallel dimension that coincides with the world on earth and also quarters the exemplifying Kingdom of Elements, three designated empires that balances and governs three major components in man's world (earth, sky & sea). The life on earth becomes in conflict and compromised when a highly observed ordinance in Heaven is violated by two significant civilians. The price to pay for such defiance is high and the punishment is almost unbearable. Now revenge is being sought out on earth and everything affiliated with it. The entire human race becomes in danger and the only person with phenomenal powers that can stop it all is a 12- year old boy who is revered as a savior by a civilization in distress. Once a very long time ago, a legend was conceived from a detrimental mistake and now he alone has the power to restore the balance between two very distinctive worlds and all their inhabitants. FIRE IN THE OCEAN is a Spiritual thriller like no other before it, taking the battle between good and evil to unimaginable extent, while luring its readers into a world with endless possibilities. Discover a world where revenge is bittersweet, friendship is everlasting and the ocean keeps secrets so profound that the water it contains burns like fire.
