Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • You are cordially invited to the wedding of Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo. The Death Star is destroyed. Darth Vader is dead. The Empire is desolate. But on the forest moon of Endor, among the chaos of a changing galaxy, time stands still for a princess and her scoundrel. After being frozen in carbonite, then risking everything for the Rebellion, Han is eager to stop living his life for other people. He and Leia have earned their future together, a thousand times over. And when he proposes to Leia, it’s the first time in a long time he’s had a good feeling about this. For Leia, a lifetime of fighting doesn’t seem truly over. There is work still to do, penance to pay for the dark secret that she now knows runs through her veins. Her brother, Luke, is offering her that chance—one that comes with family and the promise of the Force. But when Han asks her to marry him, Leia finds her answer immediately on her lips . . . Yes. Yet happily ever after doesn’t come easily. As soon as Han and Leia depart their idyllic ceremony for their honeymoon, they find themselves on the grandest and most glamorous stage of all: the Halcyon, a luxury vessel on a very public journey to the most wondrous worlds in the galaxy. Their marriage, and the peace and prosperity it represents, are a lightning rod for all—including Imperial remnants still clinging to power. Facing their most desperate hour, the soldiers of the Empire have dispersed across the galaxy, retrenching on isolated planets vulnerable to their influence. As the Halcyon travels from world to world, one thing becomes abundantly clear: The war is not over. But as danger draws closer, Han and Leia find that they fight their best battles not alone, but as husband and wife.
Download or read book Prince Rupert written by Frank Kitson and published by Constable & Robinson. This book was released on 1998 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes up the story of Prince Rupert from 1647, when his army career came to an end, and examines his work as an admiral, then sometimes known as general-at-sea -- the first book to study this aspect of his life in any detail. When Rupert first took command of the Royalist fleet the Commonwealth government was firmly established in England. For the next four and a half years with no base he kept the Royalist flag flying in the approaches to the Channel, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Caribbean, harried by Parliamentary commanders and buffeted by storms. It was a tremendous achievement. After the Restoration Rupert returned to England where until his death twenty-two years later he played a prominent role in the government. His career at sea continued in the Second and Third Dutch wars, when, as commander-in-chief of the fleet, he took part in some of the most heavily contested battles in naval history. Finally, in 1673 he was made in effect First Lord of the Admiralty -- a post he held for the next six years. As in General Kitson's earlier book, Prince Rupert: Portrait of a Solider (to which this is a sequel), Rupert is here brought to life an engaging, vigorous, supremely intelligent man; while the reader is also given a vivid picture of life at sea in the seventeenth century. -- Inside jacket flap.
Download or read book SPQR IX The Princess and the Pirates written by John Maddox Roberts and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I walked back through the City, my mood was moderately elevated. This appointment did not displease me nearly as much as I pretended. Like most Romans I abhorred the very thought of sea duty, but this was one of the rare occasions when I was looking forward to getting away from Rome..... For years I had complained of the disorder of the City, and now that it was gone, I found that I missed it. All the peace and quiet seemed unnatural. I did not expect it to last. - Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger in SPQR IX: The Princess and the Pirates His two years of aedileship over, Decius is ready for his next adventure. He would rather do anything than join the war with Caesar in the dismal forests of Gaul, so he and his slave/protégé Hermes find themselves on a mission to rid the Mediterranean of pirates. They set off with shoddy ships and sailors to the island of Cyprus, where a young Cleopatra is staying. Between her impressive crew and the ex-pirate Ariston providing insider knowledge of that cutthroat occupation, Decius thinks he stands a good chance of bringing himself some glory. That would be too simple, though. The ruler of the island, Silvanus, is murdered in a most peculiar fashion and Decius, as a guest in his home, has a sacred duty to find and punish the guilty party. Because world relations are already strained, he would rather not suspect Cleopatra, heir to the Egyptian throne. But she has plenty of reasons to hate Rome and murder runs in her family. Another guest and suspect is Gabinius, who is in exile and could have easily given up loyalty toward his friend if it meant a quicker return to Rome. In the meantime, Decius is being humiliated in his pirate hunt, and as if this weren't enough, Aphrodite herself seeks Decius's help by appearing to him in a dream vision. As Decius investigates world trade, the island history, and the new kind of piracy plaguing the waters, he is finding connections more menacing than he had ever imagined possible. In this ninth book in the series, Roberts crafts another skillful mystery, this time fervently pulsing with the collision of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian interests.

Download or read book Rejected Princesses written by Jason Porath and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending the iconoclastic feminism of The Notorious RBG and the confident irreverence of Go the F**ck to Sleep, a brazen and empowering illustrated collection that celebrates inspirational badass women throughout history, based on the popular Tumblr blog. Well-behaved women seldom make history. Good thing these women are far from well behaved . . . Illustrated in a contemporary animation style, Rejected Princesses turns the ubiquitous "pretty pink princess" stereotype portrayed in movies, and on endless toys, books, and tutus on its head, paying homage instead to an awesome collection of strong, fierce, and yes, sometimes weird, women: warrior queens, soldiers, villains, spies, revolutionaries, and more who refused to behave and meekly accept their place. An entertaining mix of biography, imagery, and humor written in a fresh, young, and riotous voice, this thoroughly researched exploration salutes these awesome women drawn from both historical and fantastical realms, including real life, literature, mythology, and folklore. Each profile features an eye-catching image of both heroic and villainous women in command from across history and around the world, from a princess-cum-pirate in fifth century Denmark, to a rebel preacher in 1630s Boston, to a bloodthirsty Hungarian countess, and a former prostitute who commanded a fleet of more than 70,000 men on China’s seas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the beginning of Leia's participation in the Rebellion and the origin of her friendship with Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi! Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control. But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire. And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice: dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan (including the man she loves) or to the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero...

Book excerpt: Since she was a child, Lia has longed to be free from the confines of the great worldship which has been the last refuge of the human race for generations, but being snatched from the only home she has ever known by aliens was not exactly what she had in mind. When she learns that the admiral of the alien fleet plans to claim her as his mate-regardless of her thoughts on the matter-her surprise turns to fury. The huge and intimidating yet undeniably handsome admiral is unmoved by her protests, however, and her defiance merely earns her a trip over his knee for a sound spanking on her bare bottom. To make matters worse, the painful, embarrassing chastisement brings about a helpless, shameful arousal unlike anything she has ever felt before. Having grown up in a society which abandoned sexual contact as a means of procreation long ago, Lia is deeply humiliated by the intimate, thorough medical exam she receives from the ship's doctor in the admiral's presence, and her failure to cooperate results in a stern punishment from her future mate. To cap it all off, with her bottom still burning and her cheeks blushing crimson she is brought to a shattering climax right there on the examination table to confirm her sexual responsiveness. Though Admiral Cavvik hadn't planned on taking a human female as his mate, he was left with little choice after one look into Lia's eyes called up primal instincts that could not be denied. But when it becomes clear that some among his people are violently opposed to his choice of companion, will he stand his ground and protect the little human he has quickly grown to love? Publisher's Note: Taken by the Admiral is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, medical play, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.
