Book excerpt: Welcome aboard the sex-drive void ship . . . Captain Genro commands the giant spaceship Dragon Zephyr - on board are ten thousand passengers in electrocoma, a smaller number of conscious passengers eagerly utilising the ship's dream chambers - and a Pilot. In the context of space travel, the Pilot is merely a biological component in the machine. Always a woman, her function is to launch the ship into the Jump by means of a cosmic orgasm. She is a pariah, shunned by all. Void Captain Genro should never even have spoken to his Pilot, let alone tried to embark on a relationship with her. When he did so, the result was every space traveller's nightmare. A Blind Jump into the Void . . .
Download or read book The Captains Tales written by David Fulton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one feels the heat of an Ashes battle more than the captains of England and Australia. The weight of national expectation, and more than 120 years of history, is on their shoulders from the moment they walk out to toss a coin and start a Test match that is like no other. The Captains' Tales offers a unique insight into the minds of a generation of captains from two great nations, who share with the reader what it feels like to call the shots in Test cricket's greatest cauldron. From Mike Brearley's cajoling of Ian Botham during the famous summer of 1981 to Ricky Ponting's revenge mission of 2006-07, each Ashes captain from the last quarter-century reveals what made him tick, his vision of where he wanted to take his team and how he handled key characters within the dressing-room. The author, former Kent captain David Fulton, delves behind the scenes for clues about how these sporting generals constructed their battle plans and uses his own experience to determine their strengths and weaknesses as leaders of men. The Captains' Tales will strike a chord not just with cricket lovers but with sporting captains of all abilities and readers who seek a greater insight into the broader issues of management and leadership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alias Brink is a Captain, and one of the most feared and respected pirates in all of Known Space. The only problem is that he is not in it. He is stranded on a small rock of moon, after a successful mutiny by Yendii, his First Mate. The ship in question, the starcraft known as the Nova Winter is a Man O War class Ship-Beast; and Brink wants it back. What follows is a tale of high adventure in deep space, as the rogue seeks to charm, manipulate, trick, and outright threaten his way back into the Captain's seat. His journey includes crossing all of the Six Systems, and facing the Flesh Eaters; from meeting with Stellar Dukes and finally entering into the most dangerous race in all of the known universe: the Stormhold Games. Along the way Brink encounters old friends, enemies, and lovers, and is forced to rely on no other person nor ship for his survival. Is he really the Captain that he thought he was? And what is he the Captain of, if he has no craft? Void Captain is a serial SF story set in the far future, which paints an unusual and innovative picture of life in deep space. In this exciting and intriguing story we encounter living ships made from the bodies of deep-space creatures, as well as entire worlds created out of water. In a setting like no other currently being explored, the adventures of Void Captain point towards a much greater, and wonderful universe yet to explore!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of essays, commissioned from a range of scholars across the world, takes as its theme the reception of Rome's greatest poet in a time of profound cultural change. Amid the rise of Christianity, the changing status of the city of Rome, and the emergence of new governing classes, Vergil remained a bedrock of Roman education and identity. This volume considers the different ways in which Vergil was read, understood and appropriated; by poets, commentators, Church fathers, orators and historians. The introduction outlines the cultural and historical contexts. Twelve chapters dedicated to individual writers or genres, and the contributors make use of a wide range of approaches from contemporary reception theory. An epilogue concludes the volume.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finalist for the Lincoln Prize, The Sea Captain's Wife "comes surprisingly, and movingly, alive" (Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly). Award-winning historian Martha Hodes brings us into the extraordinary world of Eunice Connolly. Born white and poor in New England, Eunice moved from countryside to factory city, worked in the mills, then followed her husband to the Deep South. When the Civil War came, Eunice's brothers joined the Union army while her husband fought and died for the Confederacy. Back in New England, a widow and the mother of two, Eunice barely got by as a washerwoman, struggling with crushing depression. Four years later, she fell in love with a black sea captain, married him, and moved to his home in the West Indies. Following every lead in a collection of 500 family letters, Hodes traced Eunice's footsteps and met descendants along the way. This story of misfortune and defiance takes up grand themes of American history—opportunity and racism, war and freedom—and illuminates the lives of ordinary people in the past. A Library Journal Best Book of the Year and a selection of the Book of the Month Club, Literary Guild, and Quality Paperback Book Club.
