Book excerpt: A Sinister Plot Provisional Inspector Emerra Denault is working on a case with her mentor investigating some stolen money. Everything seems straightforward, but then she is accused of a crime she would never commit. On the run from both her enemies and her friends and not sure of which is which, Emerra must solve the mystery of her betrayal and uncover the plot that led to her misfortune. That plot, still in motion, is deep and deadly. It would give the city she loves over to relentless murderers bent on power. Emerra faces criminals, corruption, magic, villainous nobles, and rot within the Guild she serves. She must overcome them all to save Frosthelm and to stay alive. About the Inquisitors' Guild series The Inquisitors' Guild is one of the branches of government in the medieval city of Frosthelm, and this book series tells the stories of the investigators, officers, and scouts that make up the Guild. There are three books in this series so far. Flames Over Frosthelm was the first. The Outcast Crown, tells another tale that involves some of the characters of Flames Over Frosthelm about a year after Flames ends. Both of these books are novel length (a little over 120,000 words). This book, Traitors Unseen, is set about ten years before the events of Flames Over Frosthelm. It shares a few characters with the later stories, but it is a separate story set in a different time. It is novella length (about 39,000 words). All three books are complete adventures, fully resolved, and they can be enjoyed in any order. Chronologically, they go Traitors Unseen, then Flames Over Frosthelm, then The Outcast Crown. Author's Note Ever since I started reading the Oz books and Andrew Lang's fairy tale compendia in elementary school, I have loved fantasy. As I grew as a reader, I branched out into heroic and epic fantasy, starting with tales of heros like Conan and John Carter, set in places like Middle Earth and Witchworld. I also adored comedic fantasy, from Terry Pratchett to Neil Gaiman to a host of others, and my favorite tales were those where young heroes and heroines grew (or were forced) to play a role beyond their station, in many cases learning on the fly and making it up as they went along. There are so many great authors working now trying out new ideas, pushing the fantasy genre in interesting new directions (some of them full of sparkly vampires or brooding antiheroes with anime hair). Despite all that innovation, it is hard for me to resist the draw of the classics. In my Inquisitor's Guild stories, I've tried to weave together many of my favorite threads from the books of my childhood, to write the kind of book I have always loved reading, both at 13 and at 50. If I've succeeded, this story should provide a fun mix of humor and adventure, a new world and a few new cultures, with derring-do and jokes along with some solid emotional touches, against a backdrop of a classic fantasy city, bustling with taverns, markets, nobles, politics, religions, thieves, and warriors. There's magic, but it's limited to rare wizards, scholars, and artifacts, not pervasive, and it's not well understood. Everybody you meet is a human with human goals - no elves, dwarves, dragons, trolls, or Klingons. Although moral complexity is fascinating, and even the best people are not always their best selves, in general I like my good guys good, my bad guys bad, and the stakes high. I hope you do too. Please enjoy Traitors Unseen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II may be over. But two sisters are far from safe. Inspired by true events, this is the latest gripping and powerful novel from the acclaimed author of Making Bombs for Hitler. Sisters Krystia and Maria have been through the worst -- or so they think. World War II ravaged their native Ukraine, but they both survived, and are now reunited in a displaced persons camp. Then another girl accuses the sisters of being Hitler Girls -- people who collaborated with the Nazis. Nothing could be further from the truth; during the horrors of the war, both sisters resisted the Nazis and everything they stood for. But the Soviets, who are now in charge, don't listen to the sisters' protests. Krystia and Maria are taken away and interrogated for crimes they never committed. Caught in a dangerous trap, the sisters must look to each other for strength and perseverance. Can they convince their captors that they're innocent -- or escape to safety before it's too late?
Download or read book Curtain of Lies written by Melissa Feinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Cold War governments of Eastern Europe operated within the confines of the Soviet worldview, their peoples confronted the narratives of both East and West. From the Soviet Union and its satellites, they heard of a West dominated by imperialist warmongers and of the glorious future only Communism could bring. A competing discourse emanated from the West, claiming that Eastern Europe was a totalitarian land of captive slaves, powerless in the face of Soviet aggression. In Curtain of Lies, Melissa Feinberg conducts a timely examination into the nature of truth, using the political culture of Eastern Europe during the Cold War as her foundation. Focusing on the period between 1948 and 1956, she looks at how the "truth" of Eastern Europe was delineated by actors on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Feinberg offers a fresh interpretation of the Cold War as a shared political environment, exploring the ways in which ordinary East Europeans interacted with these competing understandings of their homeland. She approaches this by looking at the relationship between the American-sponsored radio stations broadcast across the Iron Curtain and the East European émigrés they interviewed as sources on life under Communism. Feinberg's careful analysis reveals that these parties developed mutually reinforced assumptions about the meaning of Communism, helping to create the evidentiary foundation for totalitarian interpretations of Communist rule in Eastern Europe. In bridging the geopolitical and the individual, Curtain of Lies provides a perspective that is both innovative in its methodology and indispensable to its field.

Download or read book Traitor written by Amanda McCrina and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda McCrina's Traitor is a tightly woven YA thrill ride exploring political conflict, deep-seated prejudice, and the terror of living in a world where betrayal is a matter of life or death. “Alive with detail and vivid with insight, Traitor is an effortlessly immersive account of a shocking and little-known moment in the turbulent history of Poland and Ukraine—and ironically, a piercing and bittersweet story of unflinching loyalty. I think Tolya has left my heart a little damaged forever.” —Elizabeth Wein, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Code Name Verity and The Enigma Game Poland, 1944. After the Soviet liberation of Lwów from Germany, the city remains a battleground between resistance fighters and insurgent armies, its loyalties torn between Poland and Ukraine. Seventeen-year-old Tolya Korolenko is half Ukrainian, half Polish, and he joined the Soviet Red Army to keep himself alive and fed. When he not-quite-accidentally shoots his unit's political officer in the street, he's rescued by a squad of Ukrainian freedom fighters. They might have saved him, but Tolya doesn't trust them. He especially doesn't trust Solovey, the squad's war-scarred young leader, who has plenty of secrets of his own. Then a betrayal sends them both on the run. And in a city where loyalty comes second to self-preservation, a traitor can be an enemy or a savior—or sometimes both. This title has common core connections.
Download or read book May Freedom Sway Swing written by Pe Mba Ukagwu Jr. and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May Freedom Sway Swing By: PE MBA UKAGWU JR. May Freedom Sway Swing is a collection of poems by Ukagwu. In this book, Biafra is reborn. Of course, PE MBA UKAGWU JR. was not yet born during the Nigerian-Biafran civil war, which witnessed the deaths of over three million Igbos, neither did he witness the pogrom that preceded the war. However, he has, on countless times, been told stories of the war, the losses, the inhumanity visited upon his own people. He has also read books. . . books that dwelt on the short period between 1966 and 1969, when Biafra independence was declared to when the fighting Biafran soldiers surrendered to the British-backed Nigerian troop. Aside from the things he was told or things he read from books, it can be safely said that what has had the biggest impact upon an impressionable Ukagwu are the things he grew up to see and experience in his region, which falls under the then Biafra. As one who grew up and had his education in the South-East Nigeria, he has experienced marginalization first-hand; he has seen suppression, neglect, intimidation. He has seen winds taken from visions, dreams and aspirations, as equal opportunities are denied his people. Biafra is supposed to be God's kingdom on earth, a land of milk and honey, peopled by an uncommon kind. The author captures these and many other experiences in May Freedom Sway Swing. The overbearing slave master intent on perpetual subjugation of his slave; the fears and uncertainties of a future, the resolve of a people. . .indefatigable, undaunted, who thrive albeit laboriously. May Freedom Sway Swing shows hope, one that can never fade. The book is embellished with all the properties that make a great collection, good use of symbolism and imageries. The language is rich and sometimes esoteric; the sound rhythmic, rhyming, and mellifluous. Ukagwu is an associate member of the Academy of American Poets, and this book, May Freedom Sway Swing, truly shows why he was inducted into such a prestigious academy.
Download or read book THE TRAITORS WAY written by S. LEVETT YEATS and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isuppose there is no man who would care to have sunlight in all his life; but I hardly think there is one who could have sunk to the deep as I did, and yet have been coward enough to live, as I do—I, Gaspard de Vibrac. As I write these lines in my study in lonely Vibrac, the four white stars on my shield, carved in relief above the fireplace, seem to burn red with the memory of my shame, and nothing can wipe out that stain in my ’scutcheon—nothing, nothing! Thank God! I am the last of my house! Thank God! No young feet patter up and down the long corridors; no young voices shrill through these silent rooms. They would grow up to know me as the “Shame of Vibrac.” The very villagers, my serfs, dogs, whom I could send to the carcau with a nod of my head, scowl as they doff their caps to me, and the children shiver and shrink behind their mothers’ skirts on those rare occasions when I come out of the château. I suppose they know the story—and I live! And is this the pity of God? He has spared my life. Good men, honorable gentlemen, my friends—I had such friends once—have died like vermin. The Lake of Geneva holds all that is left of Maligny, le beau cadet, as we called him; the Vidame died at the galleys, chained to the scum of mankind. But he died, Maligny died, even Achon died, that merciless priest! And I live as a leper! I have come to know that death is the pity of God. Forty years back there was life and strength, a hot heart, and no count kept of the score. Since then I have paid and paid; but the hideous total of my debt yet looms as large as ever. As I look back into the past, it seems but as yesterday to me that gray afternoon, the day following the St. Germain’s Affair, when Court and city were alike convulsed with terror at the discovery of the conspiracy that was to end in the shambles at Amboise, and I rode from the Louvre, through the buzzing streets of Paris, to my house in the Rue Coquillière...

Book excerpt: The History of the Sea, Lake, and River Battles of the Civil War, is an expose, a denunciation, a condemnation of the lies, the distortions, the deceits, the misrepresentations, and the slanders of the biased civil war historians, the biased movie makers, and the biased makers of TV Specials, who write distorted books, distorted movies, and make distorted TV Specials about the civil war. For example, President Grant is slandered as the butcher of the civil war, when the real butcher is the traitor Robert E. Lee by an actual count of the men he killed in the battles he fought! Another example is the big lie that the Monitor and Merrimac battle was a draw when it was a clear cut victory for the Monitor! There are two classes of people in The Damn Slavers: The people in the 22 Loyal states and in the 11 traitor states: the Loyalists: the victims; and the people in the 11 traitor states and in the 22 Loyal states: the traitors: the villains! One of the biggest vile lies of the civil war is the depraved lie the traitors won most of the battles! The author counted hundreds of the bigger land battles and the sea, lake, and river battles! This battle count is what Damn Slavers is all about! Surprise, Surprise! The Loyalists won most of the bigger land battles of the civil war by a ratio of about 2 to 1 from the start of the civil war and won most of the sea, lake, and river battles too, by an overwhelming margin!! If you want to learn some real truths about the civil war, read Damn Slavers! A History of the Sea, Lake, and River Battles of the Civil War!
