Book excerpt: When visitors from across the Galaxy finally took notice of our little blue planet, they immediately let the leaders of Earth's governments know that they were here to take over. Resistance (as the saying goes) would be futile against this race of giants who proved that their technology and weapons were far more advanced than our own. The planet Earth would be a colonized state, with or without the humans t consent, For over 100 years, men have lived under this "Stendaaran" rule, choosing to co—exist with their extraterrestrial conquerors than to go extinct because of them. Private detective, Jack Dillon, had a huge problem with this arrangement, even though he was powerless to do anything about it, He hated aliens—all spaces leeches (as he liked to call them). But all that changed the day one hired him to solve the case of a stolen relic. And while cut trying to find this thief, Jack would ultimately discover that we need these savvy invaders (for our ultimate survival) in more ways than one.
Download or read book A Bigger Field Awaits Us written by Andrew Beaujon and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each November, about a hundred people with paper poppies pinned to their coats gather around a memorial in Edinburgh. They're there to commemorate the more than a dozen members of the local football team, Heart of Midlothian—almost every member of its starting lineup and many of its backup players—who went to war. When they enlisted in November 1914, the Edinburgh Evening News ran pages of splendid photos of the Hearts players in McCrae's Battalion. After the war, surviving soldiers, many of them wounded, gassed, and suffering from what was then called "shell shock," returned home to a public that had only the weakest grasp of what had happened. Perhaps the pointlessness of so much suffering and death was too awful to contemplate. All of Edinburgh threw a parade for the men of McCrae's Battalion when they marched off to war, but no one wanted to be reminded that their commanders later traded their lives and health for a few yards of French mud. A Bigger Field Awaits Us: The Scottish Football Team That Fought the Great War tells the little-known but poignant story of a group of Scottish athletes and their fans who went to war together—and the stories of the few who made it home. The saga of McCrae's Battalion brings much-needed human scale to World War I and explains why a group of young men from a small country with almost no direct connection to the conflict would give up their careers, their homes, their health, and in many cases their lives to an abstract cause. Their sacrifices illuminate the dark corners of this war that history's lights rarely reach.

Download or read book The Dillon Era written by Richard Aldous and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-10-02 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. Douglas Dillon – heir to a vast investment banking fortune, and one of the richest men in America during his political career – was a Republican who served in a Democratic administration and became one of the greatest modern treasury secretaries. He believed in bipartisanship and public duty, a sensibility that has all but faded from the current political climate. With exclusive access to the family’s archive, in The Dillon Era Richard Aldous sets fresh eyes on a well-documented period in recent American history, unfolding a deeply influential but somewhat overlooked political career. In 1953 President Eisenhower appointed Dillon as ambassador to Paris, and he promoted him to second in command in the State Department in 1958. Tapped by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson for treasury secretary to reassure Wall Street that the nation’s finances were in safe hands, Dillon would become one of President Kennedy’s closest advisors, and perhaps the only cabinet member who was a personal friend. His impact on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations was immense, not least in delivering the most comprehensive income tax cuts the nation had ever seen. Overseas he worked to sustain political cooperation as the Bretton Woods system threatened to unravel. By the time he left office in 1965, the Washington Post recognized Dillon as “by far the best Secretary of the Treasury of the postwar period,” and European Economic Community president Walter Hallstein hailed a new “Dillon era.” Dillon advocated for evolution and reform over radicalism, and he placed the national interest above party interest. The Dillon Era throws new light on the postwar period, identifying Dillon as a pivotal figure in American policymaking during these crucial years of the Cold War.

Download or read book That Darkness written by Lisa Black and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “taut and haunting” first thriller in the Gardiner and Renner series from the New York Times bestselling author of Every Kind of Wicked (Jeff Lindsay, creator of the Dexter series). As a forensic investigator for the Cleveland Police Department, Maggie Gardiner has seen her share of Jane Does. The latest is an unidentified female in her early teens, discovered in a local cemetery. More shocking than the girl’s injuries—for Maggie at least—is the fact that no one has reported her missing. She and the detectives assigned to the case (including her cop ex-husband) are determined to follow every lead, run down every scrap of evidence. But the monster they seek is watching every move, closer to them than they could possibly imagine. Jack Renner is a killer. He doesn’t murder because he enjoys it, or because he believes himself omnipotent, or for any reason other than to make the world a safer place. When he follows the trail of this Jane Doe to a locked room in a small apartment where eighteen teenaged girls are anything but safe, he knows something must be done. But his pursuit of their captor takes an unexpected turn. Maggie Gardiner finds another body waiting for her in the autopsy room—and a host of questions that will challenge everything she believes about justice, morality, and the true nature of evil . . . “An absolute must read.”—Suspense Magazine “Black skillfully portrays the stark realities of homicide cases.”—Library Journal “Intriguing forensic details help drive the plot to its satisfying conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly “The surprising ending is sure to keep readers coming back for more.”—Booklist

Download or read book Another World written by Berlinda Ivin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is another world out there, a world of Magic and Demons, a world that I am still learning about. I’m a new Lamiahaem Demon, I wasn’t always like this. Before my change I was a Witch who could read minds. I have recently found out that my sister Taylor and I come from a long line of Witches, it’s in our blood. We have been told it goes back seven generations; maybe even further. We are different from other Witches and Warlocks, we don’t use spells. Taylor and I discovered a lot of information about our family and our childhood. We didn’t remember much, because our Nanna Elsie had played with our memories. She erased memories of a childhood full of Demons that had threatened us. We both know that our grandmother and our parents had all the best intentions, but ever since they did this I’d been having nightmares every night. A lifetime of nightmares, no wonder I was always tired and occasionally a bit irritable. I have three human children, children that have remained with me. They live with their Demon great grandfather, Pops. There not really children, they’re young adults now. They’re all mind readers, Dillon is much stronger, he can ‘hear’ a lot further, James has visions in his sleep and Nikki has started to learn that she has a bit of magic in her as well. They get their abilities from my side, my ex husband had been an average human, just a very violent man. I’m also going to be a grandmother, not something I was very happy about in the beginning. Dillon’s fiancée Kylie is pregnant; she has the ability to calm a room full of angry thoughts. James’s girlfriend Suzanne is also pregnant; Suzanne is able to see the story behind the spoken word. I woke from my second sleep in January, that was just over four months ago, I’m a little different to the rest of our species. Where they all have abilities like tasting relationships, seeing visions or feeling illnesses and injuries, I have kept my magic which was something else that wasn’t normal. To keep my magic strong I need to sleep, this was according to my new father in law Simon. This is because all my magic comes from my mind, and not spells, so I need to be rested and in a good frame of mind. The only mind I could still hear was my husband’s. We also discovered that when I looked in a mirror I would see how one would look if they hadn’t been changed. My mother in law, Julie, is 407 years old it wasn’t a pretty picture, so I no longer looked in mirrors. Looking out of my own eyes though, she looked normal, not a walking skeleton. My new husband is a 134 year old Lamiahaem and is my soul mate. We married 14 months ago after a whirlwind romance. Jack is a mind reader he can hear everybody. He has unofficially adopted my children, changing their names to Carter like ours, they think he is the best and Jack returns the sentiment. Jack has a brother Jonathon who is married to Tania and a sister Charmaine who is married to Tony, they are all Lamiahaem Demons, and they all have different abilities. There is an uncle who is a Vampire, Jones; he is a brilliant loving man, he’s married to my sister Taylor, she’s a human and has recently found her magic. We all live together, it makes for interesting times. To pass the time we like to play practical jokes on each other, brothers versus sisters. At the moment, the sisters are in front. All of my family supports the Guard. The Guards, whose sole purpose is to protect humans, from being indiscriminately eaten or drank by Demons of any kind. We aren’t full time Guard, we are on call, and when they call my family goes without question. The Guard are run by The Elders, Jack’s grandfather Pops, is one of the founding members, and he is still in charge. There are other Demons that are in the Guard. Jorgenhan, that could tell straight away if you were lying or not. Siren’s, who were perfectly stunning women who could make most men do their every bidding, Casanova’s who did the same to w
