Book excerpt: Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she's a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm. Syrena law states all Half-Breeds should be put to death. As if that's not bad enough, her mother's reappearance in the Syrena world turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen's request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she's never known? Once again, Anna Banks infuses Emma and Galen's points of view with humor, intrigue, and waves of romance.

Download or read book Around the World Submerged written by Edward L. Beach and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton was commissioned in November 1959, its commanding officer, Captain Edward L. Beach, planned a routine shakedown cruise in the North Atlantic. Two weeks before the scheduled cruise, however, Beach was summoned to Washington and told of the immediate necessity to prove the reliability of the Rickover-conceived submarine. His new secret orders were to take the Triton around the world, entirely submerged the total distance. This is Beach's gripping firsthand account of what went on during the 36,000 nautical-mile voyage whose record for speed and endurance still stands today. It brings to life the many tense events in the historic journey: the malfunction of the essential fathometer that indicated the location of undersea mountains and shallow waters, the sudden agonizing illness of a senior petty officer, and the serious problems with the ship's main hydraulic oil system. Intensely dramatic, Beach's chronicle also describes the psychological stresses of the journey and some touching moments shared by the crew. A skillful story teller, he recounts the experience in such detail that readers feel they have been along for the ride of a lifetime.

Book excerpt: What if the person that you had been dreaming of since you were a child was real? Kylaya and Jett have been dreaming of each other since they were children. Never believing that the other truly existed, they forged their way in their own separate worlds; unaware that the other was closer than they realized. Kylaya, heir to the throne of the underwater kingdom of Triton, has been tossed into her leadership role much earlier than expected. When her father falls ill, it is left to her to lead her people and keep them safe from the threat of the Sirens - a deadly race of mutated Mer. She discovers just how dangerous her job is when she finds herself at the mercy of a Siren; which is almost as scary as her engagement to a man she could never fall in love with. Jett has lived his life on the prairies at the heart of the grain belt in Saskatchewan all his life. He found his calling upholding his people's laws and protecting them. Highly skilled and deadly at his job, Jett is one of his people's most prominent citizens. But when he sees a young, beautiful Mer attacked by a Siren, he throws away the reputation he has worked hard for by disobeying his people's first law - never make contact with the Mer - and saves her. KyLaya and Jett are brought together in the most unlikely of situations, forced to face each other and the feelings that have been growing between them for years. Will their love for each other survive the prejudice that they were raised with? Will they be able to see each other for who they are, not what they are before an ancient power destroys them both? The gods seek them. Evil searches for them. For, KyLaya is a Mer and Jett is a Sirenite. A Siren's son.

Download or read book Maritime Unmanned written by Ernest M Snowden and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime Unmanned recounts the promising beginning, demoralizing setbacks, and ultimate success of the visionaries who championed unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology for the U.S. Navy. Ernest Snowden and Robert F. Wood Jr. dive deep inside the machinations of aerospace and defense industry leadership, strategy development, and execution to describe the process by which the Air Force’s Global Hawk was adapted to become the Navy’s Triton. This was the first time in the history of naval aviation that an unmanned aerial vehicle was adopted into frontline squadron inventories to become an enabling component of the maritime patrol and reconnaissance mission, a process that took more than twenty years as industry representatives and Navy counterparts developed and socialized an unfamiliar and unconventional concept of operations and senior government acquisition officials either advocated or purposely road-blocked its advancement. —Military Writers Society of America Award: Bronze Medal

Download or read book Circe written by Madeline Miller and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This #1 New York Times bestseller is a "bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story" that brilliantly reimagines the life of Circe, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey (Alexandra Alter, TheNew York Times). In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world. #1 New York Times Bestseller -- named one of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, the Washington Post, People, Time, Amazon, Entertainment Weekly, Bustle, Newsweek, the A.V.

Download or read book Neptune and Triton written by Dale P. Cruikshank and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1995-11 with total page 1292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first reconnaissance of all the major planets of the Solar System culminated in the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune in August 1989. Neptune itself was revealed as a planet with gigantic active storms in its atmosphere, and off-center magnetic field, and a system of tenuous, lumpy rings. Whereas only two satellites were known prior to the encounter, Voyager discovered six more. Triton, the largest satellite, was revealed as a frozen, icy world with clouds and layers of haze, and with vertical plumes of particles reaching five miles into the thin atmosphere. This latest Space Science Series volume presents the current level of understanding of Neptune, its riings, and its satellites, derived from the data received from the Voyager. The book's chapters are written by the world's leading authorities on various aspects of the Neptune system and are based on papers presented at an international conference held in January 1992. Covering details of Neptune's interior, atmosphere, rings, magnetic fields, and near-space environment--as well as the small satellites and the remarkable moon Triton--this volume is a unique resource for planetary scientists and astronomers requiring a comprehensive analysis of Neptune viewed in the context of our knowledge of the other giant planets. Until another spacecraft is sent to Neptune, Neptune and Triton will stand as the basic reference on the planet.

Book excerpt: When the human and mer worlds collide in the maelstrom of the unforgiving ocean, destinies are intertwined. Tristan and Maki aren’t meant to know the other exists, but neither can resist the siren call of fate. The sea is a cruel mistress, though, merciless with the defiant. Desperate to escape obscurity, two dreamers hope for a better life. Instead, they may be doomed to drown in disaster. Alone in a life he didn’t choose, Tristan lives every day in obligation to a seaside town that’s never felt like home. Overseeing the lighthouse was supposed to be his father’s duty, not his. All Tristan wants to do is paint and go back to the excitement of the mainland where he’d always intended to make a name for himself. There’s nothing for him in Vollendale and being forced to obey the whims of the ocean only reminds him of what he’s lost. He has no objection to living quietly but he wants to set his own terms and right now, he feels like he’s stuck in someone else’s life. Haunted by the past with a hopeless future ahead of him, Tristan trudges through a tedious present with little to look forward to. He just wants something to break him out of the drudgery. Maki has nothing to complain about in his charmed life beneath the waves of Wyntos Key. He has good friends, a job he loves, and endless opportunities to pursue his passion. Unfortunately, his passion lies in exploring the surface world, which is all but forbidden to his kind. Tritons are a myth to humans, and the merfolk want it to stay that way. But Maki sees such potential in human innovation, dreaming up inventions to enhance the lives of his people as he experiences the wonders of life on land. The human world is fascinatingly rich in sensation and now that Maki’s had a taste, his appetite has only grown. Indulging his insatiable curiosity is addictive but also dangerous, and he’s unaware of the consequences his reckless impetuousness will bring. A triton oblivious to the dangers of the surface world. A human terrified of the ocean. There’s no reason for them to fit together as well as they do. But destiny works in mysterious ways and they just might find a place in the world to accommodate them both. The difficulty lies in what they have to sacrifice to get there.
