Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only way out is up. Lord Cay is desperate. Adrio, his husband, has grown cold and distant, and Cay can’t fathom why. Unless Adrio somehow found out about Cay’s appalling past, but Cay has taken care to hide it from him. Lying to the man he loves is painful, but it’s better than the alternative: losing Adrio forever. Meanwhile, rumors swirl of a mysterious hero who rescues captives from the labor camps of Muntegri and magically flies them over the mountains to safety. When a cruel enemy agent blackmails Cay for information about this aviator, Cay makes a rash decision. He knows nothing and can’t turn to his husband for help without revealing the truth about his past. The only thing he can do is lie even more. Each new falsehood succeeds in misleading the enemy, but it also drives another wedge between Cay and Adrio. Forced to choose between love and honor, Cay must decide where his loyalties truly lie. And the Uncanny Aviator may be the key to everything, including saving their marriage. **See this title's page on RiptidePublishing.com for content warnings.**

Download or read book Eugene Ely Daredevil Aviator written by William M. Miller and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugene Burton Ely was buried the day after his 25th birthday, less than a half-mile from where he was born. No sooner had he captured the world's eye and gained the fame he sought, than he crashed into the earth. Until 1911, the last year of his life, hardly anyone knew his name. More than a century later, nothing has changed. An Iowa farm boy afraid of heights, Ely was the first to land an airplane on the deck of a ship. To some, he is the father of naval aviation, the inspiration behind today's nuclear aircraft carriers--but many details of his life have been lost until now. This book seeks to fill this void.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After facing violent elimination by the sloppy/stupid, CIA operative Nick Blue’s considering employment modification. Later experiencing former navy pilot and TBI-survivor S. Mikayla “Magic Rat” Stihl, including her beautiful eyes and enticing jasmine fragrance, disturbing modification tingles. Emotionally-detached him is falling fast for this reputable, sassy, and sexy survivor who dislikes him (in spite of scorching mutual heat) but, true-to-her-call sign, is cozying in the dark nasty place somewhat describing his existence. To capture her, he must convince overcoming misperception and accepting victory by estimate is impossible without him - sooner the better. Lieutenant Stihl was a talented combat aviator protecting her country and challenging peers onboard the USS Yankee Excalibur, until a car wreck en route to her beloved father, Arlen’s, funeral steals her dream and forces recovering and redefining. Successfully rebuilding her ambitious life, she avoids the complicated, like romance with a way-too-smart, handsome spook with someone’s blood on his clothing and always doing as he pleases. But pride and goals demand his respect and perhaps sex with this disturbing T.H.R.I.L.L-Man, if she can withstand his challenge, manipulation, and heat without falling for bad-outcome-likely-him!

Download or read book Early Pacific Raids 1942 written by Brian Lane Herder and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of how between February 1 and March 10, 1942, three small US task forces launched several unexpected raids across the Japanese defensive perimeter in the Central and South Pacific. After the devastating Japanese blows of December 1941, the Allies found themselves reeling with defeat everywhere in the Pacific. Although stripped of his battleships and outnumbered 10:3 in carriers, the US Navy commander-in-chief Admiral Ernest J. King decided to hit back at Japan's rapidly expanding Pacific empire immediately, in an effort to keep the Japanese off-balance. On February 1, 1942, Vice Admiral Bill Halsey led the US Pacific Fleet carriers on their first raid, using high-speed hit-and-run tactics to strike at the Japanese, at a time when most of the Japanese carrier fleet was in the Indian Ocean. Halsey's aggressive commitment inspired its American participants to invent the mythical “Haul Ass With Halsey” club. The last of the 1942 US carrier raids in March 1942 would form a defining moment in the Pacific War, prior to a new phase of high-seas battles between the opposing fleets. This superbly illustrated book documents for the first time in a single volume this little-known but important World War II naval campaign. The fabulous illustrations, including maps and colour artworks, bring to life the US air and naval raids on the Japanese bases in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands, Rabaul, Wake Island, Marcus Island, and Lae and Salamaua in northern New Guinea.

Download or read book Cartographic Fictions written by Karen Lynnea Piper and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maps are stories as much about us as about the landscape. They reveal changing perceptions of the natural world, as well as conflicts over the acquisition of territories. Cartographic Fictions looks at maps in relation to journals, correspondence, advertisements, and novels by authors such as Joseph Conrad and Michael Ondaatje. In her innovative study, Karen Piper follows the history of cartography through three stages: the establishment of the prime meridian, the development of aerial photography, and the emergence of satellite and computer mapping. Piper follows the cartographer's impulse to "leave the ground" as the desire to escape the racialized or gendered subject. With the distance that the aerial view provided, maps could then be produced "objectively," that is, devoid of "problematic" native interference. Piper attempts to bring back the dialogue of the "native informant," demonstrating how maps have historically constructed or betrayed anxieties about race. The book also attempts to bring back key areas of contact to the map between explorer/native and masculine/feminine definitions of space.

Download or read book William Faulkner and the Faces of Modernity written by Jay Watson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Faulkner has enjoyed a secure reputation as American modernism's foremost fiction writer, and as a landmark figure in international literary modernism, for well over half a century. Less secure, however, has been any scholarly consensus about what those modernist credentials actually entail. Over recent decades, there have been lively debates in modernist studies over the who, what, where, when, and how of the surprisingly elusive phenomena of modernism and modernity. This book broadens and deepens an understanding of Faulkner's oeuvre by following some of the guiding questions and insights of new modernism studies scholarship into understudied aspects of Faulkner's literary modernism and his cultural modernity. William Faulkner and the Faces of Modernity explores Faulkner's rural Mississippians as modernizing subjects in their own right rather than mere objects of modernization; traces the new speed gradients, media formations, and intensifications of sensory and affective experience that the twentieth century brought to the cities and countryside of the US South; maps the fault lines in whiteness as a racial modernity under construction and contestation during the Jim Crow period; resituates Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County within the transnational counter-modernities of the Black Atlantic; and follows the author's imaginative engagement with modern biopolitics through his late work A Fable, a novel Faulkner hoped to make his 'magnum o.' By returning to the utterly uncontroversial fact of Faulkner's modernism with a critical sensibility sharpened by new modernism studies, William Faulkner and the Faces of Modernity aims to spark further reappraisal of a distinguished and quite dazzling body of fiction. Perhaps even make it new.
