Book excerpt: One-time lovers clash in an apocalyptic battle for the soul of Human Space. The cost of winning may be more than Langston Wheeler ever imagined. Once, telepaths called Archons almost wiped out humankind. Long after that war, a brotherhood called the Gentle Hand worked to keep it from happening again. They failed. The Archons are back. Mind control is back. All of Human Space is at war, and an Archon ship laden with their deadliest soldiers bears down on the Gentle Hands’ home. Langston Wheeler, a Gentle Hand with a tortured past, leads what’s left of his order. The Exile War has left them battered and desperate, without the numbers to fight this new threat. Worse, almost none of them believe in Langston, because he can’t keep his most dangerous secret: He’s in love with the woman who leads their enemy. Cleo Sable, once a Gentle Hand, now Ruler of the Archons, commands the force bearing down on Wheeler and his allies. Thousands of powerful telepaths ride with her. She wants more than victory in the Exile War. She wants justice for everything Langston cost her. When they meet in a final, apocalyptic battle for the soul of Human Space, Cleo has a mind-bending surprise for Langston. The cost of saving everything he loves may be higher than he ever imagined.

Her first trip to a Shadow Realm isn’t one she’ll soon forget once she meets Cole, a dark fae prince. Fresh from the war that ravaged the mortal realm and devastated his family, Cole is struggling to piece his life back together when he encounters Lexi. He has always identified more with his dark fae side, but when her presence awakens the lycan part of him, Cole is unable to resist his attraction to her. When the hostile tension between the different immortals erupts, Lexi flees the Gloaming for the mortal realm. Once home, she’s certain she’ll never see Cole again. She’s proven wrong when tragedy strikes. Lexi is unable to turn Cole away... even if helping him puts her in danger. Book 2: Shadows of Discovery Lexi never expected Cole to return, but when she learns he must leave again, she agrees to go with him. Back in the Gloaming, she discovers Cole will stop at nothing to become king despite opposition from the dark fae who don’t want him to rule. Lexi’s fear for Cole’s safety is rivaled only by the consequences of her choices. If he makes it through the trials and takes control of the Gloaming, can their love survive her deadly secret? Book 3: Shadows of Betrayal As Cole plunges into war against the rebellion in the Gloaming, his enemies aren’t the only things to fear on the battlefield. The Shadow Realms hold more monstrous secrets than Cole or Lexi ever knew, and some of them are about to break free.

And through it all a new threat will rise… from someone they trust. ***Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.***

In Pursuit of Platinum– As the Germans invade Paris in 1940, American Ben Peters smuggles a fortune in platinum out of the city in the legendary Bullion Bentley.

Download or read book The Last Lion Box Set written by Paul Reid and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 3008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universally acclaimed for their compelling narrative, their fresh insights, and their objective renderings of Winston Churchill's life, The Last Lion trilogy presents a revelatory and unparalleled portrait of this brilliant, flawed, and dynamic adventurer, aristocrat, soldier, and statesman. Born at the end of the 19th century when Imperial Britain still stood at the splendid pinnacle of her power, Churchill would witness the shift a few years later as the Empire hovered on the brink of a catastrophic new era. One of the greatest wartime leaders of our time, he would go on to stand alone, politically isolated in Parliament, as he took the lead in warning of the growing Nazi threat, and would lead Britain to victory against Nazi Germany and the Axis powers in World War II. Now, celebrated historian William Manchester's landmark biographies are collected together for the first time, along with the eagerly anticipated final installment Churchill's last years in power. More than thirty years in the making, The Last Lion is the definitive work on this remarkable man whose courageous vision guided the destiny of a nation during darkly troubled times-and who looms as one of the greatest figures of our century.

But now his world has been torn apart; his wife and youngest son have been killed, probably his eldest too and the Los Angeles and Washington citizens sweat it out under inescapable alien domes.

Nanden must escape and unite the remaining human and clone forces, scattered across the Solar System.

Download or read book The Exile and Return of Writers from East Central Europe written by John Neubauer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comparative study of literature written by writers who fled from East-Central Europe during the twentieth century. It includes not only interpretations of individual lives and literary works, but also studies of the most important literary journals, publishers, radio programs, and other aspects of exile literary cultures. The theoretical part of introduction distinguishes between exiles, émigrés, and expatriates, while the historical part surveys the pre-twentieth-century exile traditions and provides an overview of the exilic events between 1919 and 1995; one section is devoted to exile cultures in Paris, London, and New York, as well as in Moscow, Madrid, Toronto, Buenos Aires and other cities. The studies focus on the factional divisions within each national exile culture and on the relationship between the various exiled national cultures among each other. They also investigate the relation of each exile national culture to the culture of its host country. Individual essays are devoted to Witold Gombrowicz, Paul Goma, Milan Kundera, Monica Lovincescu, Miloš Crnjanski, Herta Müller, and to the “internal exile” of Imre Kertész. Special attention is devoted to the new forms of exile that emerged during the ex-Yugoslav wars, and to the problems of “homecoming” of exiled texts and writers.
