Book excerpt: Of all the agents within the Meridian Intelligence Department, Lindy Tremaine is considered one of the finest. Clever, sophisticated, and confident, she's determined to protect the planets of the Kellan Star System from crooks and criminals, even if it means going undercover as a fashion journalist. Tragedy, however, lies beneath Lindy's self-possessed demeanor. She is an empath, a native of the war-torn Valya, and the man responsible for her mother's death-the former prince Rael Navorre-still rules her home planet with an iron hand. Haunted by fragmented memories of bloodshed, Lindy refuses to revisit Valya or embrace her heritage, preferring to invest in her work and her adopted family. But now Lindy and her best friend, Jo Camrin, have received the most daunting assignment of their MID careers: they must protect Valya's exiled royal family during peace negotiations with Rael. Committed to her job despite her fears, Lindy soon uncovers a web of lies and technological horrors...as well as the best-kept secret in the Star System.
Download or read book OPEN BOOK OF THE LION HEARTED written by Andy Linburgh and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Book of the lion-hearted is the title of the book. The opening statement is validated many times with incident, example and often forgiving magnanimity in what is clearly a Vincentian literary keepsake, to which Vincentians of every origin, race, and position can relate to. As the opening quote suggests, the traits of perseverance, and integrity, set in an often-troubled depiction of Caribbean life, are balanced with a sense of humour and dignified clarity, spiced with specific details of life, culture, history, sociology, spanning five decades. It also offers much insight into the medical profession (right down to terminology and examples) here in the Caribbean from SVG to Cuba. I have seldom read a literary work abounding with as much relevant Caribbean (Vincentian) detail as in this book. - Colin King Journals (first published in the Searchlight Newspaper)

Book excerpt: From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Thea Harrison comes the final story in her spellbinding Moonshadow trilogy… King Oberon reigned over his Dark Court in Lyonesse for centuries until an assassination attempt laid him low. Now he lies unconscious in his snow-bound palace while his Power battles the enchantment that threatens to end his life. A skilled trauma surgeon and magic user, Dr. Kathryn Shaw reigns at the top of her profession in New York. Then comes a challenge she can’t resist—she is asked to cure the incurable. Just getting close enough to try healing Oberon is a dangerous proposition. When she does reach him, he awakens too soon. Roused from darkness by Kathryn’s presence, Oberon confronts the beautiful stranger who claims she wants to save his life. But the enchantment has frozen his emotions. How can he learn to trust her when he can’t feel anything? Oberon’s desire is icy, devoid of all tenderness. Not only must Kathryn match wits with him, she must also fight her reaction to his touch, because there is so much more at stake than her own endangered heart. For the Dark Court faces its most deadly peril yet. Its ancient enemy Isabeau, Queen of the Light Court, is obsessed with its annihilation, and Oberon must be brought to remember his loyalty and affection for his people. Because if he won’t fight for them, Lyonesse itself may very well be destroyed… p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}
Download or read book Lion Hearted written by Andrew Loveridge and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Until the lion has its own storyteller, tales of the lion hunt will always glorify the hunter.” —Zimbabwean proverb In 2015, an American hunter named Walter Palmer shot and killed a lion named Cecil. The lion was one of dozens slain each year in Zimbabwe, which legally licenses the hunting of big cats. But Cecil’s death sparked unprecedented global outrage, igniting thousands of media reports about the peculiar circumstances surrounding this hunt. At the center of the controversy was Dr. Andrew Loveridge, the zoologist who had studied Cecil for eight years. In Lion Hearted, Loveridge pieces together, for the first time, the fascinating life and murky details of this beloved lion’s slaying. In the tradition of Born Free and Gorillas in the Mist, Lion Hearted chronicles Loveridge’s long acquaintance with a host of charismatic lions that his team has tracked, often from birth to death. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Loveridge learned to love predators at the knee of his father, an eminent herpetologist who stored baby crocodiles in the family bathtub. After earning his doctorate at Oxford, he seized an invitation to study the lions of Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park. There he meets Stumpy Tail, who, despite her name, has the dignity of the Queen of the Animal Kingdom; Dynamite, a venerable coalition leader who, muscled out by younger males, sets off on an incredible thirty-seven-day, 137-mile journey to find a new home; and Kataza, who escapes another lion’s claws, and whom Loveridge twice saves from death at the hands of humans. And, of course, there is Cecil. Dethroned in an epic battle, he forms an alliance with a former rival. He also becomes a favorite of photographers and tourists—until the fateful night when a Minnesota dentist and his hunting guide entice the trusting cat with a free meal. Loveridge unravels the complexities of lion society and the dangers the cats face both within their ranks and from the outside world. Despite their ruthless reputation, lions can form deep emotional bonds—females live in prides, a sisterhood of mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts that can exhibit military precision when hunting in formation; males band together in coalitions to vie for control of territory and the female prides. They also display a wide range of emotional behavior, including mourning the loss of their mates, partners, and cubs. Africa’s lion population is estimated to have shrunk by 43 percent in the last twenty years. There may now be as few as 20,000 wild lions across the entire continent—far fewer than the number of elephants. While deploring the killing of lions for sport, Loveridge does not believe that banning trophy hunting, by itself, will halt the decline of Africa’s lion populations. He sees greater threats in human population growth, the loss of habitat to agriculture, and the illegal trade in lion body parts for use in traditional medicines. And he offers concrete proposals for averting the lion’s extinction. More than a gripping detective story, Lion Hearted is an exploration of humanity’s relationship with the natural world and an attempt to keep this majestic species from disappearing. “Lions are one of the most beloved animals on the planet,” Loveridge observes. “They are the national symbol of no fewer than fifteen countries. . . . Surely, we can think of a better way to save the wild animals we love besides killing them.”
Download or read book Lionheart written by Robert Taylor and published by Book Guild Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigative journalist Sean Bryant is hot on the trail of the Knights Tempest, an underground, neo-Nazi organization making preparations for its own final solution to society’s undesirables – any minority without the power to fight back. Hotter still is the unexpected involvement of six well-respected public figures, but before he can expose them, he and his story are stolen away into the night. As violence rages throughout Europe – bombings and shootings at the hands of the Knights Tempest – the true scope of their vision for domination unfolds, led by the eponymous Lionheart, whose controversial identity remains a mystery. A Special Forces team may be the only thing capable of matching the fundamentalist right-wingers with a suitable demise. The fact that the team comprises a black man, a gay man and a woman is an irony that cannot go unnoticed. With danger attacking from all sides, it’s not a great time to be an investigative journalist.

Book excerpt: When Lions and Wales rugby star Richard Hibbard crashed into George Smith under a clear night sky in Australia, it felt as though the tremors might have rocked Sydney Harbour Bridge. Smith was the ‘Mr Indestructible’ of Australian rugby, yet he was helped off the pitch. Hooker Hibbard simply shook his trademark blond locks and carried on helping the Lions earn their 2013 series victory. Soon, pictures of "Hibbz" celebrating in the dressing room with James Bond actor Daniel Craig were being beamed around the world. In Lionheart the Ospreys star reflects on his long and often rocky road to the top of world rugby: from his roots in Port Talbot, to his stint with rugby league club Aberavon Fighting Irish, to fighting back from countless serious injuries.

Eventually there were more than 130 men in the company, including many friends and four of Nelsons nephews. In mid-August, Nelsons Rangers escorted Major General E. Kirby Smiths 19,000 Army of Kentucky as they marched from Knoxville, Tennessee to drive the Federal Army of the Ohio out of Kentucky. 1863 through 1864 Captain Thomas M. Nelson And his Rangers served as personal cavalry escort for Commander Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lee. They fought against Grants and Shermans Armies throughout Central Mississippi and Northern Alabama. Due to his successful leadership, Captain Nelson was promoted to a Lieutenant Colonel. Later Nathan B. Forrest reported that Thomas M. Nelson was a Lion-Hearted Officer. His story takes place during only three years of his life. He was a brother, uncle, family man, friend, doctor, Cavalry Captain, and father. A man who started the War as a private and ended it as a Lieutenant Colonel and who became a leader of men!
