Book excerpt: Those who live in lush comfort on the bright side of the small planet Corista have plundered the water resources of Shadowside for centuries, ignoring the existence of Shadowside’s inhabitants, who are nothing more than animals. Or so the Brightsiders have been taught. It will take a special young woman to expose the truth—and to help avert the war that is sure to follow. A course they can’t choose, a warning no one will believe...Oriannon and her friends Margus and Wist hurtle through space on a dangerous mission, guided by the pilot stone. Their enemy, Sola, is on board as well, and Oriannon soon begins to regret rescuing the blind woman from battle. As the odd crew flies from way station to way station, Oriannon delivers the warning she received from Jesmet—a race called the Troikans is coming to destroy Corista. At each location, Oriannon is met with the same disbelief: no one has seen a Troikan in years. Soon, even Oriannon begins to wonder if the threat is real. Are her visits from Jesmet only a hallucination? Oriannon must find the faith to race toward a destination only she can see.

Download or read book Ready to Dive written by Curt Newport and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ready to Dive, Curt Newport describes his role in some of the most daring and consequential deep ocean search and recovery operations of our time. Newport was there on the front lines and in the trenches, rigging lift lines, piloting underwater vehicles, and dealing with the carnage following both military and civilian plane crashes. Starting with his life as the son of a US Army aviator during various international postings before covering his conflicts with his father during the turbulent 1960s, the book details how he got into the subsea field. In a career lasting nearly fifty years, probing waters deeper than three miles, Newport describes unwinding passenger clothing from submersible propellers during the Air India salvage, recovering tons of volatile fuel–laden solid rocket motor parts from the Space Shuttle Challenger, thumbing through the wallet of a young girl lost during the crash of TWA Flight 800, and deciphering the navigational mystery of the USS Indianapolis. Ready to Dive is a gritty, blunt, and real firsthand subsea account unlike any other.

Book excerpt: Heteras is a fantasy novel that pits the forces of the noble against the forces of an ancient evil. It is a tale of four worlds connected by a gateway called Heteras. In Book 1, Mozeh abducts the god Protector, hunts for the future leaders they call Marked Children, and sets Heteras aflame. The Elders appoint Anazar, a record keeper, to lead the survivors through a mythical stairway beneath a lake watched over by Guardian spirits. They carry with them a sac full of green stones, a withered journal, and pouches of an indigenous tea. The ninety-ninth step leads the Heterans to a vineyard in a sleepy village in Rhineland, Germany. With the children safe, Anazar begins his search for an heir who possesses a jewel that will help the travelers in their quest to rescue their Protector and restore peace in Heteras. They adjust to life in this big strange world and embark on an adventure that earns them allies and foes. Along the way, they cross paths with a brother and a sister who are also on a quest of their own. Was this encounter predestined? Their search takes them to the peaks of the Dolomites in Northern Italy where they hope to find the answers they seek, and where, on a seemingly unremarkable hill, the next phase of their adventure begins.

Book excerpt: This is the story of Oriannon, a very human-looking girl with an extraordinary gift: the ability to record what she sees and experiences like the hard drive of a computer. When the mysterious Jesmet, thought to be a Magician in the Old Order, begins to connect with Oriannon, he is banished to Corista’s Shadowside. On another planet, the new faith of its first Believers is tested in the shadow of evilIn book two, readers can contemplate how biblical truths translate in another world. The planet of Corista has been thrown off its axis, and the bright side has been plunged into perpetual darkness. Are the Owling people of Shadowside to blame? With both sides of the planet in chaos, the world becomes even more confusing for 15-year-old Oriannon when her former music mentor Jesmet miraculously returns from the dead and promises his followers a special power called the Wind. But his is not the only offer of hope. Sola, Corista’s charismatic head of Security, proposes the “ultimate solution” for peace, and she recruits Oriannon to help her carry out a seemingly perfect plan. But Oriannon’s closest friends are skeptical and try to convince her that the plan involves evil acts against the Owling. Should Oriannon trust the feelings of her friends? Will she embrace Sola’s solution as the answer to the world’s dilemma? Or will she believe the promise of an Owling holy man before she can no longer discern between light and darkness?

Book excerpt: We all know the story of the kid that goes on a "magical adventure" only to return with a newfound sense of appreciation for family and home. But that's not always how the story goes, is it? Hunters: The Wanderers' War: Book 1 follows Jac Torres who, after returning from her magical adventure, is told it was all a psychotic break. She spends the next several years medicated and in treatment, all to dampen the memory of magic in her veins and her desire to return to the only place she ever felt like was home. Miserable for the last decade, she welcomes the meds that keep her from thinking about Braora. Now, if only her new therapist would stop demanding she talk about what never happened, she could stop fantasizing about breaking probation... ...And his nose. At her lowest point, Jac risks everything and steps through a portal on the sliver of hope she might get to go back. But the map is far bigger than she knew, she's not as special as she thought, her traveling companion is, at best, a manipulative liar, and, for some reason, people seem to want her dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Huns are part of Europe's rich history. The direct Hunnic impact on Europe as it stood around 370 was massive. Attila is one of the few names from antiquity that is still instantly recognised. Three famous experts on the Huns - Otto Maenchen-Helfen (1973), Edward Thompson (1948, 1996), and Mischa Meier (2020) - contributed significantly to our knowledge, but they failed to answer the five most important questions on Attila and the Huns: - Which was the native country of the Huns? - Where are the capitals and tombs of Attila's royal ancestors - Uldin, Charaton, and Ruga? - Where did Attila's decisive Battle of the Catalaunian Plains really take place? - Where is Attila's lost capital? - Where is Attila's legendary tomb with his fabled Sword of Mars? This book provides answers to each of these five questions, while also solving other mysteries - the identity of the enigmatic river Drecon, the name of the village of Attila's sister-in-law, and the true course of Attila's Gallic campaign in 451 and his Italian campaign in 452.

Download or read book Aspar and the Struggle for the Eastern Roman Empire AD 421 71 written by Ronald A. Bleeker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length biography in English of Aspar, the eastern Roman general and statesman, this book explores his central role in the history and politics of the fragmenting Roman Empire in the fifth century. It also considers what his life and career may suggest as to the differing fates of the eastern and western parts of the empire. Taking a chronological approach, Bleeker guides us through what is known of Aspar's life and his changing influence in the eastern Roman army and court. Born and raised in Constantinople, Aspar primarily viewed and presented himself as a Roman general, consul, and senator. Yet he also stood outside the Roman mainstream in two important ways–as a member of the empire's “barbarian” military leadership and as a devout Arian Christian. Early chapters treat his formative military experiences with the Persians, a Roman usurper in Italy, the Vandals in Africa, and the Huns of Attila, while later chapters focus on Aspar's political role in resolving the two imperial succession crises that struck the eastern Roman empire in the mid-fifth century and his extended struggle to control the succession to Leo I. Bleeker builds on earlier studies in three ways. First, previous work has largely concentrated on the role of “barbarian” generals in the western Roman empire, while much less attention has been paid to similar figures (such as Aspar) in the east. Secondly, while important recent work has explored the prevalence of “child-emperors” in the late-fourth and early-fifth centuries, this book suggests a further evolution of the imperial role in the mid-fifth century. Finally, while previous studies of this period have focused on Aspar's late career role in the succession struggles, a full study allows us to see how and why his relations with other key figures within and outside the eastern Roman government changed over the course of his lengthy career.

Book excerpt: THE BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN Scientist Emma Miller was the first American infected in the Pandoravirus pandemic, which triggers violent rages and sociopathic homicide. No longer fettered by morality or emotion, she has attracted millions of followers, both infected and uninfected. But is she America’s worst nightmare—or its only hope? Emma’s twin sister Isabel and brother Noah struggle against the threats posed by rampant infection, deadly civil unrest, and desperate government measures. Their—and humanity’s—only chance for a future may lie in an alliance with Emma and her expanding community. Will it be peace between Infecteds and Uninfecteds, or eradication of one group by the other? While cities burn and social order crumbles, one family’s fight to survive will determine the future of civilization. Praise for Eric L. Harry and Pandora: Outbreak “Like Crichton and H.G. Wells, Harry writes stories that entertain roundly while they explore questions of scientific and social import.” —Publishers Weekly “Harry’s vision of an apocalyptic plague is as chilling as it is plausible. This masterful thriller will leave you terrified, enthralled, and desperate for the next entry in the series.” —Kira Peikoff, author of No Time to Die and Mother Knows Best “After a devastating epidemic that changes the very nature of humans, two sisters, an epidemiologist and a neurobiologist, hold the key to humanity's survival.” —Library Journal
