CLASH OF TITANS: The USA-China AI Warfare and the Faith of Human Civilization by AIMQWEST Corporation (1 Review)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

In the dawning years of the 21st century, the geopolitical landscape is being reshaped by two colossal forces: the United States of America and the People's Republic of China. The ongoing tensions between these two superpowers, driven by trade disputes and territorial conflicts, particularly over Taiwan, have placed the world on a precarious edge. "Clash of Titans: The USA-China AI War and the Fate of Human Civilization" delves into the intricate web of political maneuvers, economic strategies, and military posturing that define this high-stakes rivalry, with a particular focus on the unprecedented AI arms race currently in full swing. As of May 2024, the conflict between the USA and China has intensified, spurred by a myriad of factors including trade imbalances, technological espionage, and the contentious issue of Taiwan's sovereignty. This book explores the roots of these tensions, tracing them back to the end of the Cold War and the subsequent rise of China as a global economic powerhouse. Through detailed analysis, the book examines how China's Belt and Road Initiative, its assertive military expansions in the South China Sea, and its strategic alliances with Russia and other BRICS nations have challenged the US-led world order. Central to this confrontation is the AI war -- a silent yet fiercely competitive struggle for dominance in artificial intelligence technologies. Both nations have poured vast resources into developing AI capabilities, with applications ranging from economic efficiencies to advanced military systems. The book scrutinizes the implications of this AI arms race, highlighting how AI-driven innovations are not only transforming economies but also revolutionizing warfare. The AI war introduces a new dimension to this rivalry, where autonomous weapons and AI-driven decision-making systems could lead to a new form of warfare. This book considers several potential scenarios for the evolution of the USA-China conflict over the next five ...

Contemplations: A Different Path To The Sacred by Aenga Besceawung (1 Review)    Price verified 58 minutes ago

Contemplations is a radical departure from mainstream thought on matters of culture, religion, and philosophy for the simple reason that it offers to one who chooses to see as I have seen, an experiential, open, and earnest path to the Sacred in this time of spiritual deception, blind grasping for purchase on purpose, and chronic longing for a crumb of dignity and for a taste of meaning in life. Set your expectations from the beginning: Contemplations is not an instruction manual to health, wealth, and happiness. It does not moralize at you or wield the whip of shame to force you to conform. It will not give you the means to unlock mysterious or ethereal magic of ancients as all such things are lures for the simple, crutches for the foolish, and deceit for the gullible. Contemplations earnestly offers another path based upon experience and observation. It avails you of the choice to benefit from what you will build upon its teachings within your life rather than to be bound to only what is approved. It leads to a path of your own should you choose to make it so.

I'm human. Stubborn. Curious. Homesick. And I'm stuck on the magical tropical island of Sceadu, full of supernatural... um... people. I want desperately to leave, but there's a catch -- all I have to do is figure out what lesson this crazy, sentient island has for me. Did I mention I'm gifted? Sceadu's academy is dangerous and bewildering, so of course I'm sent there. Vampires, witches, and fairies roam the halls. Some students are so effing bizarre, I can't even identify what they are. Somehow Sceadu keeps the dragon and bear shifters in line. And the werewolves... well let's just say they defy imagination. Sceadu's classes don't interest me in the least, the only lesson I want to learn is the secret that frees me from this d*m rock! After meeting a strange green-eyed boy in the woods, Thatcher Blue, I get distracted. He's not the dark-eyed boy, Bellocaro, who gives me guidance in my dreams, but he's certainly drool worthy. That's an understatement. As if being stranded on an enchanted island wasn't hellish enough, now a vampire wants me dead just for locking eyes on Thatcher. Dammit, am I ever going to catch a break? All I have to do is survive long enough to figure out Sceadu's lesson and then I'm out of here. But will I? *** This is a dark sassy romance -- don't expect it to be full of good magic and sunshine despite the locale. Humans on Sceadu don't always survive or thrive like the supernatural students do. And life at Sceadu academy is anything but easy. Tegwyn Lou is certainly no Professor McGonagall but she does have an uncanny sense of what's going on... most of the time. If only she could keep the bullies at bay.

Meeting Mary Magdalene: The High Priestess of Avalon by Mike Frase (1 Review)    Price verified 27 minutes ago

This story is a journey of transformation and growth, covering my biographical pilgrimage from France into Spain during the European Summer of 2015. As I walk the 'Arles Way' Camino path towards Santiago, everything I once held sacred and special is stripped away when I open myself up to a new stream of living and thinking. Everything I thought I previously knew is replaced with an inner knowing that I really 'know' nothing. The relinquishing of this ego 'knowingness', helps create a whole new space of awareness - an awareness that by tapping into our inner heart wisdom, fear and self-doubt don't exist anymore. Love, light and consciousness are all that is real. After a broken marriage, still grieving the loss of a close family member and feeling unfulfilled in my semi-depressive corporate career, a chance meeting with an inspiring writer helped place me on this road to transformation. Meeting with a shaman and the subsequent connection to a Divine Mother that it brings, persuades me to leave work and agree to walk from Arles to Santiago, approximately 1,650 km, between June and September 2015.

"The Iranian" dives deep into the heart of conflict, freedom, and the intricate dance of power between captive and captor. The protagonist, Rose, finds herself ensnared in the grips of a new captivity, just as freedom teased its presence on her horizon. Diverging from the paths of her past, she is now isolated from Luke, her companion in escape and hope, and thrust into an environment harsher and more confining than before -- a compound whose boundaries are patrolled by the very essence of her fears: the Taliban. Rose's initial resolve to escape her chains transforms as she navigates the complexities of her new surroundings. The compound offers not just a physical prison, but also a battleground for her emotions and convictions. Here, amidst the daily trials and the constant shadow of danger, the lines that separate friend from foe, protector from predator, begin to blur. The narrative unfolds within this tense atmosphere, examining themes of survival, adaptation, and the human spirit's indomitable quest for freedom. Central to the story is the enigmatic figure of Yasif, an Iranian with roots within Iran and Afghanistan whose presence in the compound adds layers of complexity to Rose's predicament. Yasif oscillates between the roles of captor and protector, challenging Rose's preconceptions and igniting a tumultuous internal struggle. His character embodies the novel's exploration of moral ambiguity, evoking questions about loyalty, identity, and the nature of liberation.

In one step, John went from a beautiful woman's embrace to the middle of a monster battle in a dusty, Old West town.

In this new world, though, he finds his training doesn't count for much. Powerful and practically invulnerable handlers roam the prairie, fighting with tame monsters and magical cards, and to face them, he'll have to become a tamer himself -- and maybe a bit of a monster, as well. A handler of terrible power is stealing the pets of everyone he comes across in pursuit of a goal only he knows, and it's up to John to stop him before he shatters the balance in this world... and maybe the world itself. John's only help comes from a vengeful sheriff and a broken marshal, neither of whom can aid in his battles. He'll have to find powerful monsters to tame, master the rules of this world's magic, and discover secrets hidden for millennia to have a chance at victory. Despite all this, he faces a foe far beyond his skills and power. He'll need every bit of skill and cunning he has -- and more than a little luck -- or face his final death under the green sun...

THE DYING OF THE NIGHT (THE GASLAMP QUARTER TRILOGY Book 1) by R.A. VALLETTA (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

"The storyline is arresting!" - Publishers Weekly "The author never skimps on fast-paced action." - Kirkus Reviews An American Fiction Awards crime thriller finalist. Amid the sweltering heat of Southern California, a serial killer with a passion for sharp knives and naked flesh attacks their way across the affluent coastal neighborhoods of San Diego County. A banking executive is found slain in his beachfront hotel room. Then, the nude body of a beautiful young woman is found slashed and brutalized in a public park. Former NYPD Homicide Detective Kate Delgado is still reeling from a failed marriage and the recent death of her mother. As a San Diego County Sheriff's Department detective, Kate is absorbed in the investigations of the first two murder cases. In a heartbeat, Kate's world is flipped upside down and turned inside out. She's suddenly on the wrong side of the law, accused of committing a horrific crime based upon iron-clad, indisputable fingerprint and video evidence. Against seemingly impossible odds, Kate must prove her innocence or face the consequences of an open-and-shut jury trial. She's destined to spend the rest of her life behind bars or worse. How will she ever survive? "The storyline is arresting and will please fans of crime fiction with flawed characters in this promising series opener. Valletta's striking descriptions evoke a noirish California, as he cleverly uses minor details to show that Detective Kate Delgado, an East Coast transplant, doesn't quite fit in. The diverse cast of colorful characters includes a blind voyeur, criminals, and exotic dancers with double lives, and Kate, in particular, is so strong an engaging protagonist that readers will likely enjoy following for multiple novels." - Publishers Weekly "A cat-and-mouse game of a novel. It has good flow and was invested in the characters." - Edelweiss Villadelgado "A good amount of suspense and mystery. It's a solid storyline and has a strong female lead in a powerful ...
