Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chink in the Armour It was most unlikely that Madame Wolsky would have the slightest influence on her, Sylvia Bailey's, life, but at any rate it was very curious coincidence. Pharaoh had proved to be right as to these two things - she had come abroad, and she had formed a friendship with a foreign woman. Mrs. Bailey was still standing by the table, and still holding the pink card in her hand, when her new friend came into the room.

Download or read book Gruson s Chilled Cast Iron Armour Classic Reprint written by Julius Von Schutz and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gruson's Chilled Cast-Iron Armour The question of National Defence is occupying, at the present time, very great attention, not only in England and her Colonies, but also in America. An account of the experiments made with, and the development attained from, the only system of armour which has hitherto shown itself capable of resisting the attack of the heaviest modern guns, and of maintaining the protection given to the artillery and gunners placed behind it, must necessarily be of interest to all who are professionally engaged on this important subject. Armour is acknowledged by all the leading authorities to be a necessity for the defence of positions of such importance, that the safety of the State would be compromised by their loss or destruction, and a perusal of the following pages will show that in presence of the tremendous attack capable of being delivered by the heavy guns now carried by ships of war, no other system of armour offers a security approaching to that given by the Gruson Chilled Cast-iron Armour. Its great merit is that it is capable of meeting fully any projected increase in the power of the attack, great as this may be, whereas with other systems of armour it is well known that the limit to their resisting powers is within sight, if it has not already been reached. It is for this reason that an endeavour is now being made in certain quarters to forego the use of armour altogether, inasmuch as penetrable armour is worse than none; but military engineers know that this is merely from an admission of the fact of the failure of these other systems of being able to compete with the guns, and that so long as weapons of the heaviest nature are carried afloat, similar guns must be employed for defence, and that in most cases to place these guns behind efficient armour is the only way in which their full and effective use can be ensured. Based on principles which are technically sound, not only from a manufacturing, but also from a military point of view, the Gruson Armour is the only system which has been able to maintain its position pari passu with the increased development of artillery, and which offers in the future the same guarantee of effective protection which it has abundantly displayed in the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four thousand years, the Guardships have ruled Canon Space—immortal ships with an immortal crew, dealing swiftly and harshly with any mercantile houses or alien races that threaten the status quo. But now the House Tregesser has an edge: a force from outside Canon Space offers them the resources to throw off Guardship rule. This precipitates an avalanche of unexpected outcomes, including the emergence of Kez Maefele, one of the few remaining generals of the Ku Warrior race-the only race to ever seriously threaten Guardship hegemony. Kez Maefele and a motley group of aliens, biological constructs, an scheming aristocrats find themselves at the center of the conflict. Maefele must chose which side he will support: the Guardships, who defeated and destroyed his race, or the unknown forces outside Canon Space that promise more death and destruction.
