Download or read book Alexander Outland written by G.J. Koch and published by Start Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain Alexander Outland of the Sixty-Nine (short for Space Vessel 369, of course) is the best pilot in the galaxy. He’s also a pirate, a smuggler, and loved and loathed by women in umpteen solar systems. His crew of strays and misfits includes an engineer of dubious sanity, a deposed planetary governor, an annoyingly unflappable Sexbot copilot, and a slinky weapons chief who stubbornly refuses to give the captain a tumble. Outland just wants to make a decent living skirting the law, but when an invisible space armada starts cutting into his business, he soon finds himself in hot water with the military, the mob, mad bombers, and an extended family of would-be conquerors. And that’s not counting an occasionally telepathic spy . . . . Like any sensible scoundrel, he hates heroics. They’re risky and they don’t pay well. But to keep his ship and crew in one piece, and make time with a certain hard-to-get weapons chief, he might just have to make an exception–and save the galaxy in spite of himself!

Download or read book Nine Nasty Words written by John McWhorter and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller now in paperback. One of the preeminent linguists of our time examines the realms of language that are considered shocking and taboo in order to understand what imbues curse words with such power--and why we love them so much. Profanity has always been a deliciously vibrant part of our lexicon, an integral part of being human. In fact, our ability to curse comes from a different part of the brain than other parts of speech--the urgency with which we say "f&*k!" is instead related to the instinct that tells us to flee from danger. Language evolves with time, and so does what we consider profane or unspeakable. Nine Nasty Words is a rollicking examination of profanity, explored from every angle: historical, sociological, political, linguistic. In a particularly coarse moment, when the public discourse is shaped in part by once-shocking words, nothing could be timelier.

Book excerpt: Strippers, zombies, fugitives and jewel thieves. These were just some of the characters who inhabited the weird, wild films of director Stephen C. Apostolof in the 1960s and 1970s. But Apostolof's own life was every bit as improbable as the plots of his lurid movies. Escaping the clutches of the communists in his native Bulgaria, he came to America in 1952 and decided on a whim to reinvent himself as a Hollywood filmmaker, right down to the cigars, sunglasses and Cadillacs. He produced a string of memorable sexploitation classics, including the infamous Orgy of the Dead. Along the way, he married three times, fathered five children and forged a personal and professional relationship with the notorious Ed Wood, Jr. Drawing on rare archival material and interviews with those who knew him best, this first biography of Apostolof chronicles the life and career of a cult film legend.

Download or read book Five Years of Bad Coffee written by Nelson Christensen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison is in many ways not as bad as one expects, and in some ways it is worse. It was different for me, as a white 58-year-old professional with no prior record, than it was for many of my younger fellow inmates. In a strictly physical sense, prison is generally not dangerous or brutal. You can safely "drop the soap" (Just don't bend over to pick it up!) It's every middle-class American's worst nightmare. One day, author Nelson Christensen was a successful and respected attorney. The next, he is charged with fraud and embezzlement and is on his way to several years in prison. Landing first in a tough and nasty high security prison, then in a remote forest labor camp, and finally herding cows on a prison farm, Christensen lives in close confinement and works with men of all races, most of them half his age. He is beat up twice by fellow inmates for comments he makes from his smart-ass lawyer's mouth. After resolving to do "good time," Christensen decides to make the best of his situation. He works hundreds of hours with significant success in preparing appeals and petitions for his fellow prisoners. He also writes songs and poems about his experience and is a popular entertainer among his peers and the staff. Five Years of Bad Coffee is an upbeat, inspiring story about a man who resolves to face the punishment for his crimes and, in the end, comes out a better person from the experience.
