Smuggler and mercenary Arkarin Blackhawk and the crew of the ship Wolf’s Claw are freelance adventurers who live on the fringe of human society in the Far Stars. A veteran fighter as deadly with a blade as he is with a gun, Blackhawk is a man haunted by a dark past. Even his cynicism cannot banish the guilt and pain that threaten his sanity. Sent to rescue the kidnapped daughter of his longtime friend Marshal Augustin Lucerne, Blackhawk and his crew find themselves drawn into one deadly fight after another. When the Wolf’s Claw is damaged, they are forced to land on a remote planet subsumed by civil war. Pulled unwittingly into the conflict, they uncover disturbing information about secret imperial involvement that could upset the plans of Lucerne. For the Marshal is determined to forge a Far Stars Confederation powerful enough to eliminate all imperial influence and threats in the sector. He needs a skilled warrior like Blackhawk on his side, but the mercenary, plagued by dark memories from the past, refuses to join the cause. All too soon, though, he and his crew will have to take a stand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She's the empire's secret weapon, but her secrets could bring down the regime. All he has to do is get out of her handcuffs and into her mind to unlock them. When surprise alien attacks left Treska Sivekka's body battered and her mind a blank slate, the regime that rose from the ashes gave her an identity and purpose she could believe in. Vice Hunters like Treska seek out the threats to the Union's security. Psypaths like Micah Ariesis are her primary targets and the Union's biggest threats. But now that she's got him in her handcuffs and every scumbag in the star system is after them both, her target may be the only one she can trust. The Union promised security to terrified citizens in exchange for order and obedience, but psypaths like Micah and his allies, the near-human Hathori people, became scapegoats for inexplicable devastation...and then rebels against the repressive regime. Micah has one last chance to strike at the heart of the Union that hunted his kind to near-extinction--the Huntress ready to deliver him to its deepest prison. The secrets locked in Treska's missing memories can bring down the Union--if he can get out of her handcuffs and into her mind. ~*THIS BOOK IS A BOXED SET OF ALL FOUR TITLES IN THE SERIES*~

Download or read book Empire of Gold Jeremiah I written by Jo Amdahl and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No study of the Prophet Jeremiah should overlook the fact that Jeremiah was appointed Prophet to the Nations, not just Judah. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider the interaction of all these nations at the time. Empire of Gold: The Jeremiah Trilogy does just that. Empire of Gold: Jeremiah I is the first book of the Jeremiah Trilogy. It brings history to life as King Nabopolassar of Babylon invades Egypt, taking Nitocris, heir of the gods wife, captive to wed his son, Nebuchadnezzar. King Josiah, Judahs insurance of peace, is killed in an ill-advised battle against Pharaoh Necho, and the Prophet Jeremiah begins his true ministry as Prophet to the Nations. King Josiahs successors bring idolatry back to Judah and the nations erupt in a world war. Prince Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon takes the reins of his fathers army as King Nabopolassar succumbs to illness. The leaders and people of Judah turn against Jeremiah as he warns them of a seemingly impossible series of events...
Download or read book Empire s Tracks written by Manu Karuka and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empire’s Tracks boldly reframes the history of the transcontinental railroad from the perspectives of the Cheyenne, Lakota, and Pawnee Native American tribes, and the Chinese migrants who toiled on its path. In this meticulously researched book, Manu Karuka situates the railroad within the violent global histories of colonialism and capitalism. Through an examination of legislative, military, and business records, Karuka deftly explains the imperial foundations of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of Indigenous and Asian American histories, this multisited interdisciplinary study connects military occupation to exclusionary border policies, a linked chain spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism. This highly original and beautifully wrought book unveils how the transcontinental railroad laid the tracks of the U.S. Empire.
Download or read book Empire s Mistress Starring Isabel Rosario Cooper written by Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Empire's Mistress Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez follows the life of Filipina vaudeville and film actress Isabel Rosario Cooper, who was the mistress of General Douglas MacArthur. If mentioned at all, their relationship exists only as a salacious footnote in MacArthur's biography—a failed love affair between a venerated war hero and a young woman of Filipino and American heritage. Following Cooper from the Philippines to Washington, D.C. to Hollywood, where she died penniless, Gonzalez frames her not as a tragic heroine, but as someone caught within the violent histories of U.S. imperialism. In this way, Gonzalez uses Cooper's life as a means to explore the contours of empire as experienced on the scale of personal relationships. Along the way, Gonzalez fills in the archival gaps of Cooper's life with speculative fictional interludes that both unsettle the authority of “official” archives and dislodge the established one-dimensional characterizations of her. By presenting Cooper as a complex historical subject who lived at the crossroads of American colonialism in the Philippines, Gonzalez demonstrates how intimacy and love are woven into the infrastructure of empire.
