Download or read book Rasalas written by Leah Ross and published by Leah Ross. This book was released on 2024-08-11 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s only a transport, an ordinary escort mission to a normal, ally world. Routine escapes into the ether, though, when Caz sympathizes with his empyrean passenger’s harrowing circumstances. He’s a professional diplomat, ordered to complete the negotiated handoff and stay out of political traps. But explorers’ spirits aren’t so easily tamed. And Caz has always been fearlessly independent. Caspian Sheridan hasn’t gotten this far in life by avoiding risk. Preferring to leap into unknowns and figure out strategy along the way, he’s made a successful career out of mediating tough situations with level-headed tenacity and impeccable English manners. He’s managed to survive some of the most challenging diplomatic exchanges the FGIA has to offer and kept his stellar reputation intact. But nothing prepared him for escorting a wonderfully likable, exiled Nih’laiian dignitary back home to a palace bristling with intolerance. And when the truth suddenly shifts into something he never could have expected, he’s left blindsided by doubt. With authorities on all sides crying foul and several innocent lives hanging in the balance, the only thing Caz can do is jump in to help. He has to hope he won’t lose everything on a chance for redemption. Feeling like a complete failure, Uriberos Melandrach dreads arriving on Olm Caelora with every fiber of his being, despite the sworn duty he has to uphold as an imperial guard of the realm. His prince is stranded, in dire need of supplies, and Uri’s the only one who knows and can do anything about it. No matter the repercussions, he must go home. He must get help to Jen. He’s ready to sacrifice himself; he always has been. What he’s not ready for, though, is being tossed in the middle of the ambitious machinations he’s spent a lifetime avoiding. All he wants is to reconnect with his family, his people, the world he loves. Instead, he’s being used as a political pawn by the man he hates most, forced to assume another false identity to keep his loved ones safe. Though his heart urges him to fight and his soul begs him to resist, he’s stuck. He has far too much to lose this time. Allied against all odds, Caz and Uri can only feel their way through the treacherous web of greed with mutual trust and understanding. Despite their opposing cultures and backgrounds, they must come together to battle a common enemy in the name of intergalactic peace. If they fail, an alliance and an entire innocent world could be lost. If they succeed, though, they could find themselves on the wrong side of a royal execution.

Download or read book The Humans written by Matt Haig and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling, award-winning author of The Midnight Library offers his funniest, most devastating dark comedy yet, a “silly, sad, suspenseful, and soulful” (Philadelphia Inquirer) novel that’s “full of heart” (Entertainment Weekly). When an extra-terrestrial visitor arrives on Earth, his first impressions of the human species are less than positive. Taking the form of Professor Andrew Martin, a prominent mathematician at Cambridge University, the visitor is eager to complete the gruesome task assigned him and hurry home to his own utopian planet, where everyone is omniscient and immortal. He is disgusted by the way humans look, what they eat, their capacity for murder and war, and is equally baffled by the concepts of love and family. But as time goes on, he starts to realize there may be more to this strange species than he had thought. Disguised as Martin, he drinks wine, reads poetry, develops an ear for rock music, and a taste for peanut butter. Slowly, unexpectedly, he forges bonds with Martin’s family. He begins to see hope and beauty in the humans’ imperfection, and begins to question the very mission that brought him there. Praised by The New York Times as a “novelist of great seriousness and talent,” author Matt Haig delivers an unlikely story about human nature and the joy found in the messiness of life on Earth. The Humans is a funny, compulsively readable tale that playfully and movingly explores the ultimate subject—ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if all your nightmares came true? The "mare" used to be contained in people's dreams. Now, it takes flesh when you wake. It disappears as soon as it completes its task... ...killing its host. How can I possibly catch or kill a monster that only emerges from one's sleep? I can't figure out how it's choosing its victims. There's not a thread I can follow to figure out who it will strike next. My only chance to beat the monster will be to lure it into my dreams and kill the damned thing before it gets away. There's no guarantee the mare will take the bait. But if I don't kill it soon, more people will die. And it won't stop until it destroys everyone. Roundtable Nights is the second book in the new Druid Detective Agency urban fantasy series. Elijah and Emilie already went through one adventure. Now, ten years after The Druid Legacy, they are facing a new challenge, one that will test their limits. The real threat isn't the otherworldly magic, the magic that once birthed life itself in Eden/Annwn. There was a reason why humanity was cast from the garden groves. When the magic of that place comes home, it won't take long to find out why. The real threat was here all along, hidden in human hearts, now made manifest by the power of creation itself. Harry Potter meets Harry Dresden in Druid Detective Agency. You'll encounter dragons and other mythical creatures. Facing them is nothing compared to fighting with monsters born of the human mind.

Download or read book Making Circles written by Barney Nelson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Making Circles, Barney Nelson unveils working-class cowboy culture through the eyes of one who has lived the life she chronicles. From living on ranch camps to surviving both cowboy school and graduate school, Nelson’s story is a journey through time and place, pointing out that cowboys inhabit every continent and century, from Lakota Indians and Hawaiian paniolos to Argentine gauchos and Australian ringers, from Pegasus to Cervantes and Tolstoy. Even Thoreau called himself a cowboy. Nelson's story is both personal and expansive, guiding the reader in circles around the modern West, from Montana to Mexico. Along the way, she celebrates the many characters she has encountered and considers role models. Unafraid to challenge the status quo, Nelson fearlessly defends embattled ranchers as well as the humanities, while speaking truth to the powerful forces of environmentalism, tourism, and urban voters. Both a primer for aspiring journalists and an insider’s reflection on horse and ranching cultures, this tour de force memoir honors the practice of writing and its manifold benefits: embracing solitude, avoiding boredom, and accepting aging and death as part of human and animal life. Full of valuable tips, lessons learned and taught, and far-ranging musings on philosophy and poetry, Making Circles demonstrates brilliantly the value and meaning of the term “cowboy journalist.”
