Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction... Vanguard Lindsay Rooney has faced the undead hordes of Inferi Scourge and lived to tell the tale, but she has also suffered horrible losses. Like millions of other civilians, she had hoped that The Bastion would recover after a team of modified soldiers eradicated the undead hordes of Inferi Scourge that infested their valley. Yet the city still crumbles around them, along with any chance of survival. Lindsey’s growing friendship with Torran MacDonald, an officer with the Science Warfare division, is her only solace as the decline of the city continues. When food riots fill the streets, martial law is enacted, and the upper echelons of government battle for control of the city, Lindsey is conscripted by her superiors to embark on a dangerous mission into the dead world beyond The Bastion. To add even more complications, Torran and the SWD join the squad. Soon, Lindsey realizes that her mission is more than what it seems, and there are secrets that could both destroy The Bastion and take her life.

Book excerpt: - Brenda Spencer, 17 years old, opened fire on a crowded elementary schoolyard with a semi-automatic rifle because "Mondays always get me down." - Timothy Dwaine Brown, 16 years old, beat his brother to death before killing his grandparents in cold blood. - Molested repeatedly by her father, 16-year-old Cheryl Pierson hired a classmate to execute him. - Two Missouri brothers, ages four and six, attacked and brutally murdered a baby girl because "she was ugly." centerThere is a new breed of killers loose in America today -- and its numbers are growing at an astounding rate. They are responsible for over ten percent of the nation's homicides. They are often victims themselves of neglect, violence and sexual abuse, of drugs and poverty. They murder alone or in groups -- in anger and frustration, for attention . . . or for thrills. And they have one thing in common: they are all children.

Download or read book The Gunns History Myths and Genealogy written by Alastair Gunn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the myths currently masquerading as Gunn 'history'. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern, mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor. There was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief'. The first Gunn known to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many descendants from that line exist all around the world. Major detail on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history.

LACHLAN by Carole Mortimer Finding an ancient journal which wrote of men who could shift into dragon, followed by traveling to Scotland in search of evidence they had really once existed, wasn't the wisest thing Belle had ever done.

Now Rylie craves the dragon's searing touch, putting her family legacy and everything she holds dear at risk. Zerek MacKenzie hasn't spent centuries with the dragon side of his soul encased in stone simply to let a misguided slayer turn his private parts to dust. Clearly, Rylie St. George hasn’t learned the secret history of her clan or she’d be submitting to him rather than antagonizing him. Never mind her lack of fighting skills. What he would give to train her in the proper wielding of a sword over that damn slingshot she loves. But when a cloaked enemy's betrayal threatens to vanish not just the dragon inside him, but also Rylie's future, Zerek must travel through time to right matters. But first he must convince Rylie he's not her enemy. If only he didn't have to reveal the truth about her clan, first. A revelation he doubts Rylie is going to accept without a fight.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed author Jessie Mihalik returns with an exciting new novel about a rainbow-haired female bounty hunter tasked with preventing an interstellar war. Kee Ildez has been many things: hacker, soldier, bounty hunter. She never expected to be a hero, but when a shadowy group of traitors starts trying to goad the galaxy’s two superpowers into instigating an interstellar war, Kee throws herself into the search to find out who is responsible—and stop them. Digging up hidden information is her job, so hunting traitors should be a piece of cake, but the primary suspect spent years in the military, and someone powerful is still covering his tracks. Disrupting their plans will require the help of her entire team, including Varro Runkow, a Valovian weapons expert who makes her pulse race. Quiet, grumpy, and incredibly handsome, Varro watches her with hot eyes but ignores all of her flirting, so Kee silently vows to keep her feelings strictly platonic. But that vow will be put to the test when she and Varro are forced to leave the safety of their ship and venture into enemy territory alone. Cut off from the rest of their team, they must figure out how to work together—and fast—because a single misstep will cost thousands of lives.
