JENNY Book Three of the StainedSteam Saga Victorian London's shadows grow deeper as William Blackwood, the city's preeminent supernatural investigator, faces his most challenging case yet. When children and women begin disappearing and supernatural activity surges, the trail leads to an artifact of unimaginable power: the Loom of Fate, an ancient device capable of reshaping reality itself. Blessed—or cursed—with lycanthropy, William straddles two worlds: the mundane realm of Scotland Yard investigations and London's hidden supernatural society. But when he discovers a conspiracy centered around this mysterious loom, both worlds face an unprecedented threat. Lord Everett Wentworth, a centuries-old vampire aristocrat, seeks the Loom of Fate for his own dark purposes. As William races to stop him, he must rely on his trusted allies: Thaddeus, a scholarly vampire hunter; Jaxon, an eccentric occult expert; the powerful Crimson Paw werewolf pack; and Inspector Graves, a skeptical Scotland Yard detective who refuses to believe in the supernatural. With London's fate hanging in the balance, William must confront not only external enemies but also his own nature. Can he maintain his humanity while embracing the wolf within? And what sacrifices must he make to protect both the human and supernatural worlds he calls home? "The Loom of Ms. Jenny" continues the thrilling StainedSteam Saga, and masterfully launches an atmospheric third book that blends Victorian gothic mystery with urban fantasy. The story weaves a tale of magic, loyalty, and redemption, creating a richly detailed world where gaslights and grimoires coexist, and where one man's determination might be all that stands between London and chaos. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adventure and romance of America, her people, her spirit and the West. We are all Americans. This is our story. Second book of the #1 bestselling, Threads West, An American Saga epic saga, recipient of thirty-seven National Awards—Best Historical Fiction, Best Multi-Cultural, Best Romance and Best Western! Compared by reviewers, authors and readers alike to Lonesome Dove, Centennial, and the Sacketts of L'Amour. Called by some the ''Gone with the Wind of the West,'' and applauded by others as ''rings true and poignant, as authentic and moving as Dances with Wolves.'' The touchstones of the past are the guideposts to the future. Maps of Fate is the continuation of this tale of America, set in the West—new lineages join the many threads of uncommon cultures, differing origins and competing ambitions that entwine into the American spirit. Lives and generations are woven on the loom of history, propelled by fate and freedom to form the tapestry that becomes the whole cloth of the nation. It is uniquely American, this meld of the mosaic. Set in 1855, Book Two continues the page-turning tale of five richly textured, complex generations of unforgettable personalities mandated by fate and history to encounter others of differing origins; the Oglala Sioux family, the elderly black couple setting their life sails for the winds of the freedom, the dark hearted renegade. The secrets of the maps are revealed, and suspense builds as they push westward, hurtling towards unknown destinies, propelled by one adventure, danger, romantic twist, and encounter to the next. Forged in the crucible of history, shaped on the anvil of a dangerous land, the threads of their lives, tragedies, triumphs, and torrid loves interweave with the evolution of the West. Armed conflicts, the rancor of slavery, and the discovery of gold, all create lethal surprises when the characters are forced to defend their lands, their loved ones, and their honor. The tragic story of the Indians begins to unfold. The new characters with dark hearts, lost souls, fierce pride, and hopeful innocence, color the tapestry of this epic saga. Others, in search of place and rightful freedom, catapult into the story. An unexpected convergence of events sets in motion the thrilling, yet heartrending conclusion of Book Two, setting the stage for the arduous crossing of Continental Divide, and the passionate tumult of the next Maps of Fate Era novel of the Threads West, An American Saga epic saga; Uncompahgre-where water turns rock red. You will recognize the characters who live in these pages. They are the ancestors of your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers, and your family. They are you. They are us. We are all Americans. This is not only their story. It is our story. The decades of the Maps of Fate era novels of the sweeping Threads West book epic saga become the crucible of souls of generations, the building of the heart of the nation, destiny of a people, and the relentless energy and beauty of the western landscape.

Download or read book The Revenge of Geography written by Robert D. Kaplan and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this “ambitious and challenging” (The New York Review of Books) work, the bestselling author of Monsoon and Balkan Ghosts offers a revelatory prism through which to view global upheavals and to understand what lies ahead for continents and countries around the world. In The Revenge of Geography, Robert D. Kaplan builds on the insights, discoveries, and theories of great geographers and geopolitical thinkers of the near and distant past to look back at critical pivots in history and then to look forward at the evolving global scene. Kaplan traces the history of the world’s hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled lands. The Russian steppe’s pitiless climate and limited vegetation bred hard and cruel men bent on destruction, for example, while Nazi geopoliticians distorted geopolitics entirely, calculating that space on the globe used by the British Empire and the Soviet Union could be swallowed by a greater German homeland. Kaplan then applies the lessons learned to the present crises in Europe, Russia, China, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab Middle East. The result is a holistic interpretation of the next cycle of conflict throughout Eurasia. Remarkably, the future can be understood in the context of temperature, land allotment, and other physical certainties: China, able to feed only 23 percent of its people from land that is only 7 percent arable, has sought energy, minerals, and metals from such brutal regimes as Burma, Iran, and Zimbabwe, putting it in moral conflict with the United States. Afghanistan’s porous borders will keep it the principal invasion route into India, and a vital rear base for Pakistan, India’s main enemy. Iran will exploit the advantage of being the only country that straddles both energy-producing areas of the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. Finally, Kaplan posits that the United States might rue engaging in far-flung conflicts with Iraq and Afghanistan rather than tending to its direct neighbor Mexico, which is on the verge of becoming a semifailed state due to drug cartel carnage. A brilliant rebuttal to thinkers who suggest that globalism will trump geography, this indispensable work shows how timeless truths and natural facts can help prevent this century’s looming cataclysms.

Book excerpt: A stunning exploration of the Greater Middle East, where lasting stability has often seemed just out of reach but may hold the key to the shifting world order of the twenty-first century “Engaging . . . Even those who resist Kaplan’s tragic sensibility have much to learn from his look at the emerging Middle East and its recent history.”—National Review The Greater Middle East, which Robert D. Kaplan defines as the vast region between the Mediterranean and China, encompassing much of the Arab world, parts of northern Africa, and Asia, existed for millennia as the crossroads of empire: Macedonian, Roman, Persian, Mongol, Ottoman, British, Soviet, American. But with the dissolution of empires in the twentieth century, postcolonial states have endeavored to maintain stability in the face of power struggles between factions, leadership vacuums, and the arbitrary borders drawn by exiting imperial rulers with little regard for geography or political groups on the ground. In the Loom of Time, Kaplan explores this broad, fraught space through reporting and travel writing to reveal deeper truths about the impacts of history on the present and how the requirements of stability over anarchy are often in conflict with the ideals of democratic governance. In The Loom of Time, Kaplan makes the case for realism as an approach to the Greater Middle East. Just as Western attempts at democracy promotion across the Middle East have failed, a new form of economic imperialism is emerging today as China's ambitions fall squarely within the region as the key link between Europe and East Asia. As in the past, the Greater Middle East will be a register of future great power struggles across the globe. And like in the past, thousands of years of imperial rule will continue to cast a long shadow on politics as it is practiced today. To piece together the history of this remarkable place and what it suggests for the future, Kaplan weaves together classic texts, immersive travel writing, and a great variety of voices from every country that all compel the reader to look closely at the realities on the ground and to prioritize these facts over ideals on paper. The Loom of Time is a challenging, clear-eyed book that promises to reframe our vision of the global twenty-first century.
