Download or read book The Honor of the Ken written by Laura W. Haywood and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-11-12 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Honor of the Ken is speculative fiction set several hundred years in the future on Kenakenkarney, a planet colonized -- despite the presence of an indigenous race, the Ken -- by a religious cult from Earth. The Terrans promptly enslaved the Ken to mine a precious mineral. Some two-hundred years later, the Ken were freed, but most of them, having no other opportunities, remained miners. Adanna Ming, the daughter of a Ken father (a miner) and a Terran mother (a teacher), inherited her fathers copper-colored skin, pointed cats ears, and other Ken attributes. The only obvious sign of her Terran ancestry is blue eyes. Through the intervention of a friend of her mothers, she was the first Ken admitted to the prestigious Womens University. There she met Marielle Adams, a spoiled, bored, but very bright heiress. To create an interest for herself, Marielle takes Adanna under her wing. She introduces her as her friend, teaches her things Adanna has no way of knowing, and learns a great deal in the process. The two women became very close friends. After graduation, Marielle created opportunities for Adanna, who used them to achieve success as a writer and, briefly, as an actress-dancer. In addition to writing, Adanna ran a school for Ken children, trying to teach them the two cultures of Kenakenkarney. She also became a symbol to both the Ken and the Terrans, in very different ways. All her success cant save her, however, when the Terrans, desperate for miners to work a new mineral find, re-enslave the Ken. But Adanna isnt sent back to the mines; instead, she is bought by Ginja Shareef, a woman she knew very slightly at the University. Ginja is a gifted poet, and Adanna admires her work very much. What Adanna doesnt know -- has no way of knowing -- is that Ginja hates her. She blames Adanna for a fundamental loss in her life and has bought her to exact justice. As dedicated as Ginja is to justice, Adanna is committed to the principles of freedom. She refuses to give in to Ginjas demands, accepting Ginjas abuse as the price of her principles. In the course of this brutal struggle between the two women, they come to know each other and a wary respect grows between then. That respect, however, in no way lessens their fierce battle of wills. Marielle, meanwhile, has formed an abolitionist group and is fighting slavery every way she knows. A prime weapon in her arsenal is Adannas last novel, a novel about slavery and freedom, that expresses Adannas ideas powerfully. After a series of Machiavellian exploits orchestrated by Marielle, the slavery law is repealed -- but manumission will come only after a cooling-off period. Ginja has come to understand that she cannot break Adanna by force, and seeks other ways to crack her will. After failing to compel Adanna to use force (something that violates Adannas pacifist principles), she almost succeeds by telling Adanna exactly why she will do anything to defeat her. The charge horrifies Adanna, who has no way to defend herself against it. She also threatens repeatedly to sell Adanna to Marielle, a threat Adanna dismisses. Adanna admits freely that being owned by Marielle would be -- for her -- worse than anything Ginja might do to her, but she is absolutely certain Marielle would never betray her by buying her. But Marielle, knowing about Ginjas brutality and with the kindest of intentions, does exactly that, and Adanna finds herself having to fight someone she cares about deeply, someone she doesnt want to hurt. A second battle of wills ensues and it is a battle Adanna knows she cannot win. It isnt until a misunderstanding between them escalates into a situation that goes completely out of control that Marielle begins to understand why Adanna is acting as she is. Their struggle continues, but the fr

Download or read book The Baron Honor written by Jory Sherman and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2005-02-24 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fresh from a war with rival rancher Miguel Aguilar, and still licking family wounds, Martin Baron and his son, Anson, go their separate ways as Jory Sherman continues the epic saga of the Barons. Martin heeds the call of the Texas Rangers, hoping to restore honor to his native Texas as the storm of war quickly approaches. News from the east speaks of a long and drawn out conflict between the Union and the Confederacy. Though Martin never believed in slavery and holds no loyalty to the Confederacy, the Rangers seem like his best bet to defend his home, and perhaps give him the opportunity to bring Aguilar to justice. Unlike his father, whom he sees as abandoning the ranch in its time of greatest need, Anson stays behind to pick up the pieces after the war. He wishes to bring the Barons' ranch to new glory, but to do so, he'll need to capture the elusive white bull, El Blanco Diablo, to sire his herd. And of course there's Lorene Purvis, the beautiful woman who's pledged her love to Anson; she may be the key to a new start. The trail soon grows rocky for the Baron men. When Aguilar escapes after a bloody ambush, he has nothing but revenge against the Baron family festering in his head. Meanwhile, Anson's vaqueros have abandoned the Baron ranch, and a band of Apache have set their sights on making it their own the only way they know how . . . by killing the man who runs it. The Barons have always been respected, but as rough times roll in, they're forced to reevaluate where their friends' loyalties lie, while also questioning their own. One thing's for sure, they won't lay down without a fight, and they'll do anything to defend The Baron Honor. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
