Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seemingly simple protection job alerts the existence of a shadowy conspiracy. The year is 2030. The world is divided into supernational unions yet they don't control all nation-states, inviting an acceptable quantity of wars for mercenaries to find. This was the result of an alien ship crashing into the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in the year 1985 with the supernational unions born from a world war from 1989 to 1991 that saw the use of nuclear weapons. The mercenary group Iron Dutchman Services, after another pay cut due to the damage wrought from their last job, takes up a job offer from the Foreign Intelligence Service of the New United Nations to go to Japan to secretly protect Maria Hoshikawa, a teenage corporate heiress. One member, Tarou Ganji, seventeen years old, uses this job as an opportunity to figure out his past as Maria has a similar upbringing (growing up in a country with different physical features from its inhabitants). The risk comes in acting like a normal teenager; something Tarou never learned to do as he learned how to use a gun at the age of ten. However, shadowy forces intend on using Maria for their own ends. They employ a man that made Tarou what he is today to kidnap her, having him work with the OVR foreign intelligence agency of the Eurasian Tsardom. This will complicate Tarou's mission as many now have an interest with a teenage girl, putting the fate of the world at risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A girl is to become a tool for a shadowy conspiracy, which will determine her fate. The year is 2030. The world is divided into supernational unions yet they don’t control all nation-states, inviting an acceptable quantity of wars for mercenaries to find. This was the result of an alien ship crashing into the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in the year 1985 with the supernational unions born from a world war from 1989 to 1991 that saw the use of nuclear weapons. Four months after being assigned to monitor Japanese corporate heiress Maria Hoshikawa, Iron Dutchman Services is tasked to assist the Foreign Intelligence Service of the New United Nations in assisting with an operation to rescue one Maral Eminovna Guliyeva, a teenage girl forced into sexual slavery, from Mexican drug lord Segismundo Alba. In truth, the mission is an attempt by the FIS to draw out Anton Oleksandrovich Kravchenko, the sex trafficker who sold Guliyeva to Alba, in order to capture him and use him for future negotiations with the Eurasian Tsardom as they failed to capture Kravchenko. However, the Gatekeepers of Knowledge, the organization mostly responsible for the reconstruction of the world after the Third World War, intend on taking advantage of this operation as they want Guliyeva as well. This, along with the Eurasian Tsardom’s OVR launching an operation to bring Imperial Eurasian Navy Walgear pilot Vladimir Nikolayevich Mirov to Japan to learn about Tarou Ganji and Tatev Mirzoyan’s feelings about the mission, will affect Guliyeva’s fate…

Download or read book The Black Knight written by Roelof Steenbeek and published by Partridge Africa. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, I have never piloted a biplane, but for many nights before I had any thought of writing this book, I dreamed I was sitting in the cockpit of a black biplane. Although I could not see the wings, I just somehow knew it was one. There was a tiny half-moon windshield, an instrument panel with some gauges, and a joystick in front of me. I could feel the wind on my face, icy cold in my bones, vibrations and movements of the aircraft through the seat of my pants, and a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach. A few nights later, the silhouetted head and shoulders of a young man started to haunt my dreams instead. Every time I dreamed of him, his face became a little clearer, and I eventually saw he was wearing old-fashioned flying goggles and a leather cap: everything was sepia-colored like an old-fashioned photograph or daguerreotype plate. Silent at first, eventually he said, a trifle forlornly, but not bitterly, Please, ask them not to forget us. What we fought and died for, was it for nothing?
Download or read book Scanderbeide written by Margherita Sarrocchi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first historical heroic epic authored by a woman, Scanderbeide recounts the exploits of fifteenth-century Albanian warrior-prince George Scanderbeg and his war of resistance against the Ottoman sultanate. Filled with scenes of intense and suspenseful battles contrasted with romantic episodes, Scanderbeide combines the action and fantasy characteristic of the genre with analysis of its characters’ motivations. In selecting a military campaign as her material and epic poetry as her medium, Margherita Sarrocchi (1560?–1617) not only engages in the masculine subjects of political conflict and warfare but also tackles a genre that was, until that point, the sole purview of men. First published posthumously in 1623, Scanderbeide reemerges here in an adroit English prose translation that maintains the suspense of the original text and gives ample context to its rich cultural implications.

Book excerpt: About the Book A Knight's Journey! is a tale about a man's search for redemption as he struggles through both the horrid effects of panic disorder and PTSD. He is propelled through harsh, dangerous journeys to find courage, self-discovery, and love. Throughout the years, he has been haunted by a mysterious medieval knight who needs his help to find his own path to forgiveness. The engaging and inspirational story is told against the backdrop of the history of the Tower of London and results in a life-altering battle between the historical figures associated with it. About the Author Dean O'Quinn grew up on a farm/ranch in Montana and has always enjoyed the outdoors that this beautiful state has to offer. Because of a head injury sustained in college, he has suffered from panic disorder and PTSD for the last thirty years. In the past seven years, he also sustained injuries in four serious accidents. These injuries include a broken back, his sixth concussion, a skull fracture, his second TBI (traumatic brain injury), and a surgically replaced shoulder which is all metal now. These injuries landed him in a nursing home for a year. That is where he wrote this novel as a form of therapy to strengthen his replaced shoulder and to keep his mind sharp. He wants to help other people overcome similar issues with the same therapy program that he came up with for himself. He showed the progress in his own health through his writing, and this has become the culmination of his journey. His therapy creation is named "The Write Therapy," and this program is designed to help all people who are struggling these days. The first book that was published in this writing program is titled The Soldiers Who Ate Rattlesnakes and shows the beginning of this inspirational journey toward better health!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all beings are the paths of fate carved, but for three dark elven children did the loss of their parents put their fates in clear unwanted view. Being murdered by a wizard in the body of a beastly Minatare, this brutal unscrupulous terror was bent on ruthless backlash to all in the realm for his own dark suffering past. Through the aging course of fifteen years, being both guided and protected by their new guardian uncle did the children's mission finally start. Forced for their own safety from all they knew they leave their home that was fashioned in a world under the world. Their clan was nothing more than a rebel shadow of their old race, driven into hiding from persecution and disloyalty of not willing to uphold the continuing evil traditions of their ancestral nature; and with struggles unseen they fight to emerge from the shadows to the surface realm, with a final goal to one day be again equal both in sociological weight and rank. Accomplishing such tasks held its risks; for the three on their endeavor discover the complications of sibling rivalry, loyalty and personal acceptance. Unexpectedly do they find trials of the body, mind and soul with allied companions along their journey, that introduce them to truth, love and self sacrifice when stories of their own past intertwined with theirs. Will such tasks lead the children to the same doom that brought them to this very dark alley; or strengthen their resolve through the sight of true purpose not only to defeat their mortal enemy, but defend their continuing wished existence within the realm.
